I see that that Shemirani gobshite and her mob have been at it again in Brighton today. Protesting outside a newly opened vaccine centre to the extent that it had to close and people missed out on getting their jabs. 

 

What happened to people should be free to choose if they want to get vaccinated or not? These Q/anti-vax knobheads are getting more dangerous by the day and are now a borderline domestic terrorist organisation. They've talked the talk about violence. It wouldn't surprise me if it's only a matter of time before they started walking the walk in that regard. And, nobody appears to be stopping them. 

I thought that cunt was being investigated by the Met for comparing doctors and nurses to Nazis and basically saying they should be “hung” ?

Words fail me when these anti vaxxers, conspiracy theorists and misinformationers like that Shemirani spread their shite. I used to watch a guy's YT vids when he used to take the piss out of the BBC, Police and other celebs but he's giving legs to these absolute anti vaxxer nutters so stopped watching them. But he and that type are very, very dangerous.

 

Meanwhile:

 

The World Health Organization is monitoring a new coronavirus variant known as “Mu”, amid concerns that it has mutations which suggest it is more resistant to vaccines. 

In a weekly pandemic bulletin the UN agency said Mu – known scientifically as B.1.621 – has now been designated as a “variant of interest”, a classification used to target research and highlight potentially worrying new strains. 

“The Mu variant has a constellation of mutations that indicate potential properties of immune escape,” the WHO report said. 

It added that preliminary data suggests Mu may be able to evade antibodies generated from both prior infection and coronavirus vaccines at levels “similar to that seen for the Beta variant”, though this finding needs to be confirmed in further studies. 

Beta is one of four strains categorised as a “variant of concern” by the WHO. Earlier this year South Africa – which first detected Beta – stopped using the AstraZeneca shot after a small study suggested the jab offers only limited protection against mild illness caused by the strain. Subsequent research, though, suggests Covid vaccines still prevent severe disease and death.

The Mu variant was first detected in January in Colombia, where prevalence has “consistently increased”; the WHO said it comprises 39 per cent of sequenced infections. Rates are also rising in neighbouring Ecuador, where Mu is responsible for 13 per cent of cases.

But globally, the variant’s prevalence has actually declined and it makes up less than 0.1 per cent of sequenced infections. So far just over 4,500 cases have been uploaded to Gisaid, a scientific database that is tracking variants globally, from 39 different countries. 

However, the WHO warned that “reported prevalence should be interpreted with due consideration of sequencing capacities and timeliness of sharing of sequences”, which vary widely across the globe. 

Dr Julian Tang, clinical virologist at the University of Leicester, said Mu shares three mutations (called E484K, N501Y, and P681H) common to other variants of concern, including Alpha and Beta. “We know that these [spike] protein mutations give rise to some degree of vaccine escape and increased transmissibility,” he told The Telegraph. 

“[Mu] also has mutations in other parts of the virus genome that may make it behave slightly differently from the other variants – but lab and real-world studies will be needed to fully characterise the impact of this.”
 

‘A stark reminder this isn’t over’

The new variant comes amid mounting concerns that low global vaccination rates and high transmission rates poses a perfect window for the emergence of new variants. 

All viruses mutate as they reproduce, with most changes of little consequence. But occasionally a mutation emerges which affects how infectious a variant is, the severity of the disease it causes, or its ability to evade vaccines and treatments.  

Prof Danny Altmann, an immunology expert at Imperial College London, told The Telegraph that the emergence of new variants is a stark reminder that the pandemic is not over.

“At the moment, it looks like there’s genuine cause for concern in USA, Central America, South America, but as we saw with Delta, a potent variant can traverse the globe in the blink of an eye,” he said.

“Mu looks potentially good at immune evasion. For my taste, it’s a stark reminder that this isn’t by any means over: on a planet of 4.4 million plus new infections per week, there are new variants popping up all the time, and little reason to feel complacent,” Prof Altmann added.

Others are less concerned. “A variant a day keeps the doomers in play,” Prof Francois Balloux, director of the Genetics Institute at University College London, wrote on Twitter. 

Earlier this week researchers in South Africa issued an alert about a variant known as C.1.2, which was first detected in May and is now in every region across the country. Experts say it possesses mutations similar to existing variants of concern and interest – including Delta – but it has not yet been categorised as either by the WHO.

To date, the UN agency has classified four variants of concern – Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma – alongside five variants of interest, including Mu. 

In an interview with The Telegraph last month Maria Van Kerkhove, technical Covid-19 lead at the WHO, said new coronavirus variants could be named after star constellations once the 24 letters of the Greek alphabet are exhausted – an eventuality she considers likely.

Horrible. That counts the whole bank holiday weekend doesn't it? 

[Section_31]

A team of researchers may have found an antibody that can neutralize all known novel coronavirus strains, including the developing variants.

GlaxoSmithKline and Vir Biotechnology recently conducted a huge collaborative study by scientists and developed a new antibody therapy, called Sotrovimab. During the project, they discovered a new natural antibody “that has remarkable breadth and efficacy,” according to the Berkeley Lab.

The scientists reportedly discovered a new antibody, called S309, which “neutralizes all known SARS-CoV-2 strains — including newly emerged mutants that can now ‘escape’ from previous antibody therapies — as well as the closely related original SARS-CoV virus,” according to a press release from the Berkeley Lab.

Structural biologist Jay Nix, who was involved with the project, said the antibody can potentially stop all coronaviruses similar to COVID-19.

The researchers want to do more tests with the antibodies using hamsters. They hope to give it prophylactically but it’s unclear when that would be.

“And, due to the unique binding site on mutation-resistant part of the virus, it may well be more difficult for a new strain to escape,” he said in a release from Berkeley Lab.

The information about the antibody was published in the journal Nature.⁰

Quite alarming.

"Case levels in Scotland are 80% higher now than they were last week, and five times higher than they were four weeks ago.

 

The number of people in hospital has more than doubled since 20 August, from 312 to 629.

 

Intensive care admissions have not risen as quickly, but have still gone up from 34 to 59 over the same timescale."

My boy had his vaccine today. He’s only 17 so he’s only allowed one dose. Bizarre policy. 
 

My bird’s sister, her husband and their two kids went on a holiday to Devon last week and they’ve all come back and tested positive. They’re both double jabbed and so far their only symptoms are sore throats.
