New Covid variant with 46 mutations infects 12 in France

wasn’t covax started so the companies could keep their patents? it feels long past time to let countries produce generic mrna vaccines themselves

Amen. We are busy congratulating ourselves on our own (actually pretty pathetic) vaccine efforts, while leaving a huge population of unvaccinated people for the damn bug to experiment with to find new pathways. It’s almost like nobody wants to listen to the experts, you know?

ETA: Just to be clear, vaccinating poorer countries is very much worthwhile in and of itself, for the human lives involved. But if we need to invoke self-interest, which it seems we do, it is pretty damned evident that if we won’t do it because it is the right thing to do, we should sure as hell do it because it’s the right thing for us!

That and maybe convincing people that going on vacation is not that essential when there’s a pandemic on.

Wait, wait… so Bill Gates and Fauci and the Illuminati make a virus factory in China to control world population and implant tracker chips in people.

The Omicron variant is obviously the work of Lurr from The Simpsons, who is real, because The Simpsons predicted him.

So French people got a new one from Macaroons? They’re messing with the cookies now? That’s just a bridge too far. The insurrection begins NOW.

Like the doctors from Star Trek. They put every wounded crew member on the beds and they keep them all the episode with the very same dirty uniform.
