New York’s homegrown COVID-19 variant may be infecting people who have already had the virus — or even been vaccinated, the former head of the Food and Drug Administration said Sunday.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb said it remains unclear if the COVID-19 variant, known as B.1.526, is driving viral surges in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.
“What we don’t understand with 1.526 is whether or not people are being reinfected with it and whether or not people who might have been vaccinated are now getting infected with it,” Gottlieb told CBS anchor Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation.”
The New York variant contains a mutation similar to the South African variant B.1.351, which has shown “in certain cases” to reinfect people who have already had the bug, Gottlieb said.
“The question is whether [B.1.526] is responsible for some of the increases that we’re seeing in New York right now and whether this is the beginning of a new outbreak inside the city,” he said.
The former Trump administration official said public health experts currently lack sufficient data to draw any clear conclusions.
He called on the CDC to work with New York officials to identify potential coronavirus reinfections tied to B.1.526, which he warned are “probably more prevalent than what we’re detecting.

Time to lock everything down again!
Variant my Claire Shulman! It's the VAX!
It'll never end
Sounds like alot of guessing being done.
Some people believe this is obviously not about Covid. They think it's about control and if you can't see it by now you're hopelessly lost and deserve what's coming.
Fact Obesity is a leading co=morbidity factor.
Stop fat shaming & Have a free donut ?
Could bad Government be the sickness ?
Shit is Getting Very Creepy!
Just remember - according to the propaganda is all science.
CDC isolated the virus yet? Because is interesting if they did not, how could they identify the variants of the virus.
❝The ruling class keeps A ericans as poor as possible so that they CAN'T use their money to do naughty things like fund progressive political campaigns, or sabotage hedge funds.❞ ——Caitlin Johnstone
❝The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth, or to evade truth——not to reveal it.❞ ——John Kenneth Galbraith
❝Governments in capitalist society are but committees of the rich to manage the affairs of the capitalist class.❞ ——James Connolly
❝The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.❞ ——Pat Miller, 'Willfully Ignorant'
❝In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so that we will rally behind them. And, if they do not have a REAL enemy, then they will invent one in order to mobilize us.❞ ——Thich Nhat Hanh
❝It is impossible for any doomed population to grasp how fragile the decayed financial, social and political system is on the eve of implosion. All the harbingers of collapse are visible: crumbling infrastructure; chronic underemployment and unemployment; the indiscriminate use of lethal force by police; political paralysis and stagnation; an economy built on the scaffolding of debt; nihilistic mass shootings in schools, universities, workplaces, malls, concert venues and movie theaters; opioid overdoses that kill some 64,000 people a year; an epidemic of suicides; unsustainable military expansion; gambling as a desperate tool of economic development and government revenue; the capture of power by a tiny, corrupt clique; censorship; the physical diminishing of public institutions ranging from schools and libraries to courts and medical facilities; the incessant bombardment by electronic hallucinations to divert us from the depressing sight that has become America and keep us trapped in illusions. We suffer the usual pathologies of impending death. I would be happy to be wrong. But I have seen this before. I know the warning signs. All I can say is——get ready.❞ ——Chris Hedges
Covid. Schmovid.
It is the CHINA virus. Who are you kidding? Call it what it is. Brought to you by the mass murderer Mao's People's Republic of CHINA. Right out of Wuhan, CHINA. Swept under the rug at the outset by an official Wuhanese communist cadre fearing the wrath of Xi Jinping and bigwig authoritarians in Beijing. Right out of a filthy "wet" market where bats, pangolins and dogs are sold for human consumption OR, as some have said, the virus escaped from a biolab with lack of oversite. (The latter not confirmed because the CHINESE forbid lab inspection by the World Health Organization.)
Free Hong Kong! Independence for Taiwan! Hands off the Uighurs and the Dalai Lama.
And what say you Grace Meng? You've been awfully silent on these issues.

❝Every time we suggest to accomplish something good for the general populace, and attempt to use the decision process afforded by government to implement that public good, you capitalist scums assume we want you to pay for it, being forced to do so, by stealing what you hold. As if we could not, by collective decision, manage the affair without your assistance or involvement at all. It is offensive, abusive of the decision process, and untrue, by reason of fact and evidence. You simply control and influence the narrative to prevent any common decision to accomplish our goal of providing nurture to the people, that are discarded and ignored contemptuously by your own greed, avarice and criminal behavior.❞ ——Frederic Bastiat
