| New Corona Variant Identified In France |
| 2022-01-10 |
| (MSN) B.1.640.2 was discovered in a traveler returning from Cameroon and has even more mutations than Omicron. And a first "Flurona" case has occurred in Israel. Just when we thought things were looking up at least a little, because the omicron variant, while being more contagious, often takes a milder course than delta, a new variant emerged. We do not yet know how dangerous it is or where it originated. The new variant was detected in early December in a traveler who returned to France from Cameroon, the hospital IHU Méditerrannée in Marseille announced. The returnee from Cameroon reportedly infected 12 people in southern France. EVEN MORE MUTATIONS THAN OMICRON |

| #12 This new mutant, called B.1.640.2, has 46 mutations ... more mutations than omicron, which has 37 OMG! If mutations are like super-powers then 46 mutations makes this an unstoppable super-virus. AIEEE! Except that is not how it works. Mutations are errors when DNA is copied. They accumulate over time because you get all the old mutations + any new ones each time you replicate a virus. Sounds scary though, right? |

| #11 Deltacron. So lame. Its like TV slotting a poorly received show after an established show. |

| #10 As each new mutation occurs, I believe the percentage of the public that gets the "con" part goes up. |

| #8 And yet, the 'booster' is the same shot from a year ago, doesn't work after just a few months and, in the case of Omicold for sure, makes you ***more*** likely to catch COVID. Well done! |

| #7 They are already focus group testing "deltacron" as the next skeery boogie-man under the bed. |

| #3 We need to QUIT calling it a Vaccince. Hell its a ongoing treatment when it only lasts a few months. Aperson get 4 + shots & boosters, still gets sick and or dies from the "cure". Where there hell is a seasonal VAX after 2 years? When will we see a WORLD COURT INVESTIGATION into this clearly profit generating pandemic over cure? Plus criminial death penalty level crimes against humanity started? Sorry.. grumpy...been up, since 2am. When the nursing staff rounds started poking us. |

| #2 Seems to be a lot of variants in this virus. Almost as if the vaccinations are _causing_ them. |
