The WHO warns that the pandemic is not over and the world should expect 'more dangerous variants to emerge'

[Business Insider] The World Health Organization on Friday warned that the COVID-19 pandemic is not yet over and said there's a possibility of new variants.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told attendees at the Munich Security Conference in Germany that vaccinations and the fact that Omicron has turned out to be a far less severe variant are "driving a dangerous narrative that the pandemic is over."

"But it's not. Not when 70,000 people a week are dying from a preventable and treatable disease," Ghebreyesus added.

"Not when 83% of the population of Africa is yet to receive a single dose of vaccine," he continued. "Not when health systems continue to strain and crack under the caseload. Not when we have a highly transmissible virus circulating almost unchecked, with too little surveillance to track its evolution."

Ghebreyesus also warned that the world should prepare for the potential of more variants to arise.

"In fact, the conditions are ideal for more transmissible, more dangerous variants to emerge," he said.

According to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, more than 65% of the total population of the United States is fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, meaning either two doses of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the COVID-19 vaccine for those age 5 and up.

#1 ...more dangerous variants to ~~emerge~~ be manufactured.

There, fixed it.

#2 Meh. Given they’ve been trying to gin up a panic over the danger of Omicron on the grounds that it is less severe but more easily transmitted, their definition of dangerous is so broad as to be meaningless. On the model of Anthropogenic Global Warming, in fact.

#3 Anthropogenic hazard

"...hazards caused by human action or inaction. They are contrasted with natural hazards. Anthropogenic hazards may adversely affect humans, other organisms, biomes, and ecosystems."

#4 NOT Anthropogenic Global Warming!

#5 What's this: The Narrative changes! 180 degrees!

"A flurry of new studies suggests three doses of a Covid vaccine — or even just two — can provide long-term protection from serious illness and death."

Gee, I seem to recall a State of the Union speech coming up-- just a week from tomorrow, in fact.

Can another "Mission Accomplished!" declaration be far off? Supported by the mysteriously sudden appearance of "a flurry of new studies."

Which actually vindicate and repeat, in the main, what Dr. Robert Malone has been saying for months. In time for Brandon's SOTU on March 1. Convenient.

These mendacious, incompetent fvckers' heads are spinning so fast, they'll achieve vertical lift soon

#8 Such brazen, obvious liars. Almost as clownish as the CDC.

Or Scotland's public health bureaucrat-squirrels -- concerned about "misinterpretation" of the data, thus they have to hide it from public view. To hell with these moronic liars.

The CDC Isn't Publishing Large Portions of the Data It Collects

Concern about the misinterpretation of hospitalization data broken down by vaccination status is not unique to the C.D.C. On Thursday, public health officials in Scotland said they would stop releasing data on Covid hospitalizations and deaths by vaccination status because of similar fears that the figures would be misrepresented by anti-vaccine groups.

"Misinterpreted."
"Misrepresented."
"Misinformation" and even "malinformation."

LOL... such transparent, obvious liars
