About a week ago, we started seeing stories on a new strain, a “mutant” strain, of the Wuhan virus appearing in the UK.

This is not unexpected. Viruses mutate. That’s why we don’t have a vaccine for the common cold. That’s why the flu vaccine is constantly changing. Usually, the mutations are weaker. This is why some viral infections leap onto the world stage and then fade away.

But now, as we have a vaccine (we hope) for the Wuhan virus and people, in general, are getting sick and tired of being made to perform tricks for the amusement of a special pathological class of sadists who seem to have congregated in the public health field, a new hook is needed to keep the power and the money that has been accumulated by this pandemic.

The first reported U.S. case of the COVID-19 variant that’s been seen in the United Kingdom has been discovered in Colorado, Gov. Jared Polis announced Tuesday, adding urgency to efforts to vaccinate Americans.

The variant was found in a man in his 20s who is in isolation southeast of Denver in Elbert County and has no travel history, state health officials said.

A team of British scientists released a worrying study on Wednesday of the new coronavirus variant sweeping the United Kingdom. They warned that the variant is so contagious that new control measures, including closing down schools and universities, might be necessary. Even that may not be enough, they noted, saying, “It may be necessary to greatly accelerate vaccine rollout.”

Nicholas Davies, the lead author of the study, said that the model should also serve as a warning to other countries where the variant may have already spread.

“The preliminary findings are pretty convincing that more rapid vaccination is going to be a really important thing for any country that has to deal with this or similar variants,” Dr. Davies, an epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said in an interview.

The study, released by the Center for Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, has not yet undergone review by a scientific journal. The study compares a series of models as predictors of data on infections, hospitalizations and other variables; other researchers are studying the variant in laboratory experiments to determine if it is biologically distinct.

The study found no evidence that the variant was more deadly than others. But the researchers estimated that it was 56 percent more contagious. On Monday, the British government released an initial estimate of 70 percent.

And it isn’t just this variant:

The fun never stops.

We’re looking at the beginning of a never-ending gravy train for Pharma to come up with new vaccines for these variants. We are probably looking at a never-ending series of demands by the public health mafia that we impose more and more restrictions upon Americans’ lives.

At some point, we, as a people, have to say that we’ve had enough of this nonsense, and we’re just going to take our chances.
