News Forum - France detects new Covid variant “IHU,” believed to be highly transmissible

[Thaiger]

While the world is grappling with a continuous spike in Covid-19 cases due to the Omicron variant, scientists in France have discovered a new variant. The newly-discovered variant, called B.1.640.2, was found in 12 patients near Marseille and features 46 mutations, making it vaccine-resistant and contagious. Also known as “IHU,” the strain was detected by scholars at the IHU Mediterranee Infection on December 10 last year, with the first patient being related to travelling to Cameroon in Central Africa and having been vaccinated. Lab results show that the N501Y mutation, which was initially detected in the Alpha variation, has been […]

if many doctors in the world say soon,
the newest virus, is even less dangerous than omicorn-virus now,
but governments will want and even push for having another lockdown,
is that the moment when all people see that scam ?

This was inevitable... viruses mutate, that's what they do. Everyone thought (and hopes) that the next mutation would be less deadly than omicron, and there is no indication from this report that that is not the case (transmissibility does not mean a lot -- the common cold is highly transmissible). No hand wringing necessary. Keep calm, its not Ebola.

The vaccine hoarding by the US, UK, EU and India has starved African nations of sufficient supplies. Consequently their populations are now mutation factories which will prolong this pandemic by years. These hoarders should be rushing supplies to poor countries but they are all tied up in domestic politics and dont give a damn for anyone outside their borders.

Moderna, Pfizer and Janssen are also being sold supposedly "at cost", and 'yes' those countries have donated free vaccines, but some such as the UK and USA have literally  FIVE TIMES or SIX TIMES more vaccines than they can use so they have to either donate them or let them time expire.

It's Highly Unbelievable?

I Hate the Unvaccinated? Could be a name they give for the unvaccinated people to get scared because IHU is out there to get them
