Fuck this variant shit. Viruses mutate- for example- hepatitis, influenza; herpes...they mutate. Obviously even man-made viruses mutate (if this virus even truly exists beyond being a zoonotic coronavirus) perpetuating fear-mongering drivel. The "vaccine" is supposed to reduce symptoms not prevent infection. It doesn't even work.
true true i'm showing you their fearmongering
At least, they talk about "variants", and that is the correct term. Most "journalists" use the incorrect terms "strain" and "mutation".
SARS-CoV-2 has an extremely specialized spike protein, it cannot change much without becoming useless. The immune system creates maybe 200 different antibodies against the spike protein, and all these variants can evade only 10 or 20 of them. That's why we don't see the millions of reinfections we would see with a seasonal virus.
