Happy Friday, C&C family! I hope your Thanksgiving was joyful and rewarding. Mine was amazingly … normal. Even though our get-together included family members from across the political spectrum, it felt like a completely pre-pandemic holiday. Hopefully yours was as well.
Today’s post-holiday roundup includes: two major announcements from the W.H.O. that kick the Narrative while it’s down; a scary new variant pops up in the media, I mean South Africa; Qatar data suggests natural immunity is VASTLY better than injection-induced immunity; our heroic superintendent pens ANOTHER Washington Post op-ed complaining about being forced to obey the law; and the Solomon Islands explode in anti-lockdown riots calling for Australian army crackdowns and offers of Chinese peacekeeping support.
*THE C&C ARMY POST*
I am still working on getting the numbers from last Friday’s Operation Multiplier event. My sense is that we crushed it. But I have found that the state team keeps a strict firewall between the political side and the campaign side. So any contacts on the political side can’t help with getting us this info. But I’ll get it, sooner or later! Stand by.
*COVID NEWS AND COMMENTARY*
Like a little kid running behind the pack, trying to catch up, the W.H.O. finally caught up on the “kicking down the Narrative” action yesterday. There are two related stories. First, the global health agency called a “special meeting” to discuss a new scariant, I mean variant, numbered B.11.529. The special concern is that the variant’s mutations are found in its SPIKE PROTEIN.
Now remember, the mRNA vaccines are designed to force your own body to manufacture spike proteins from the original “alpha,” or “wild-type” variant. They are very specific; the spike proteins are computer coded to that original design. This specificity has generated some criticism of the injections, because as the virus mutates — especially in the area of the spike protein — some scientists believe that the body’s highly-specific injection-induced antibodies will overlook some new types of spikes.
In other words, the injections could stop working or in the worst case even leave injected people defenseless against a new variant.
Natural antibodies, on the other hand, recognize at least 28 different proteins in the coronavirus, not just spike. So, even if the spike mutated beyond recognition, the 27 other parts of the virus would still trigger an immune response. That’s probably one reason why natural immunity is so much broader and more long-lasting than injection immunity.
Anyway, the W.H.O. is holding an emergency meeting TODAY (Friday) to discuss “a new variant with numerous mutations to the spike protein” and “to discuss what it may mean for vaccines and treatments.”
They mentioned treatments!
Dutch vaccine designer Geert Van Den Bosche has long been canceled off social media for warning — since day one — that the narrowly-designed but broadly-administered injections will just accelerate viral mutation toward vaccine escape. Because the injections are so specific, all vaccine escape would need is a single mutation to the spike sufficient to evade the two-year-old alpha type spike antibodies.
The new variant popped up in South Africa, where scientists identified more than THIRTY (30) mutations in the new variant’s spike protein. Uh-oh. Worse, it appears to be highly contagious — another necessary precondition for vaccine escape. Reports say the variant has already spread rapidly through Johannesburg and the rest of the Gauteng province. The variant has also been detected in Botswana and Hong Kong.
Even though the UK immediately shut down travel with South Africa, the W.H.O. has yet to determine whether B.11.529 is a “variant of interest” or a “variant of concern.” That’s what they’ll try to decide today, and if it’s a variant of concern it will get its greek letter. Either way, this variant illustrates the basic problem; not only do the injections’ efficacy wane quickly in the short term — even against variants with typical alpha-type spikes — but they are doomed in the medium term, because the coronavirus will eventually mutate its spike into something that the narrow injection-induced antibodies can’t see.
And when it happens, it will REALLY scare the injected people.
