Once again, we are being tortured by the mainstream media. They are bombarding us with articles about the frightening new dominant COVID variant.
The CDC is calling it the summer surge of BA.2.86, a highly mutated form of the SARS-COV-2 virus that has been detected in the US, Denmark and Israel. This new lineage is said to carry 36 mutations from the current widespread dominant variant XBB.1.5. Maybe 36 variants will scare us. After all, the strain directed at children didn’t strike the fear as planned, so now we have this one.

Not to worry, the CDC is on the case, tracking every twist and turn of the new variant. The World Health Organization (WHO) is, too. There is no evidence that this latest variant causes more illness, hospitalizations or deaths than prior variants. In fact, as of August 14, there were only 6 documented cases worldwide: 1 US (in Michigan), 1 UK, 1 Israel and 3 in Denmark (the first case was detected July 24). Hardly a new pandemic. One report claims only four identified cases as of August 17.
BA.2.86 is different than EG.5, a descendent of the Omicron strain, and better known as the Eris subvariant. For EG.5, Eris is the Greek goddess of chaos and discord. On a side note, Eris was a character in the 2003 animated film Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas. Michelle Pfeiffer voiced the character and I also found it interesting that Sinbad’s ship was named The Chimera. A chimera is a substance, such as an antibody, created from the proteins or genes of two different species. Sound familiar?
Anyway, Eris caused barely a ripple in the public when stories came out about infections and hospitalizations in the US, Europe and Asia. Here is the truth about hospitalizations: they were at an all time low in June 2023, so being up 40% from that is not earth shattering. AND overall, hospitalizations are more than 90% below peak January 2022 Omicron “outbreak” levels, and this is according to the CDC’s own data.
Was Eris a big nothing burger, so now the powers that be have moved on the BA.2.86? Of course, BA.2.86 stems from a different branch of the coronavirus not targeted by the current vaccines, so that means we need new vaccines or updated vaccines that will cover this particular variant. Health authorities are greatly worried that many countries have drastically reduced testing, so of course, it hampers efforts to analyze the new BA.2.86 genomes. You may have it and not even know it. Egads!
