But you will be shocked, shocked! to be told that the UK variant has somehow magically spread from Colorado across the entire USA, and is now the dominant strand. How did that happen? We don't know, and apparently no one wants to know.
Remember back then they told us that variants were really, really common, but they were usually less virulent than the original? They changed that story (I know you are shocked, shocked! again to see them completely change their story). Now we are told that India, who managed to go over a year without a big problem, has suddenly developed a New Improved More Lethal strain of covid, even though spring is the usual time for respiratory viruses to die out.
That's odd. Oh, no, wait, it's not odd according to our crack news teams of investigative reporters.
Here's another odd thing. They briefly admitted that SARS 2 was an engineered bioweapon, building on the Original SARS 1 virus released in 2002.
But no one is going to wonder how this new strain of lethal SARS appeared, in the spring, in a country that went over a year without massive deaths?
I guess not.
Shit happens, as they say.Talking about "exponential spread" is very misleading. In normal epidemiological curves, there is a very brief period of exponential growth during the very earliest stage of an epidemic, when none of the population has yet been exposed, so it's like fire spreading through dry grass.
The period of exponential growth is brief, and in all known cases, seasonally affected.
It makes zero sense that a country which had virtually zero spread during the first wave, or during peak spread weather... and a country with a very dense population and a lot of people without sanitation, would SUDDENLY experience a huge wave.
You only see those brief exponential growth spurts when a new infection is going into a naive population, or conditions change to make the spread much easier.
The theory that this is a new (but naturally occurring) much more virulent pathogen also flies in the face of conventional epidemiological history... since pathogens generally mutate to LESS harmful forms... biopathogens are "motivated" by improving their reproductive success, and killing hosts is a bad reproductive strategy.
So if it is genuinely a new much more virulent variant, that does point to intentional biowarfare -- an engineered pathogen. At this point, there is no credible controversy that COVID came from gain of function research, most likely that sponsored by the USA in Wuhan... known in scientific circles as the "Lab Leak Hypothesis."
What is harder to know is whether the release was intentional or accidental. If in fact, they're STILL working on more virulent variations, that does point towards the release being intentional, since another accidental release this soon seems unlikely.
