Interesting timing of this new "vaccine resistant super covid"... almost like they needed something new to explain all the coming vaccine related deaths?
This should also scare people into taking the "new booster" that will help protect against death and hospitalization - with of course 0 logical information that supports the claim.
Sounds about right to me.

the early stage thoughts on this new strain is that it began from an infected person and the Virus survived...just like what happened to allow the 'Alpha' strain to develop
the CDc & WHO are telling media that the process of determining what symptoms might be the result of this Africa Strain will 'take time to trace'
(sounds like buying a grace period to me) the virus specialists will not comment on boosters coming on line soon...
another delay tactic to me ,,, coming from the crowd that anticipates all earlier twists & turns of a dumb Virus

Just wanted to post the following, directly from the Botswana government, and I quote: "The cases are detected among travellers who tested SARS-COV-2 positive on routine pre travel testing.
The preliminary report revealed that all the four had been fully vaccinated for COVID-19."
So not sick locals, but fully vaxxed international diplomatic travelers.

But Covid 19 has a much lower infectious nature, still very infectious, and a far lower mortality rate than something like that.
So if it is less lethal than the original strain then we know that it is natural mutation and adaptation to the human hosts as it adapts into a new flu like disease that will become annual BUT if it is more lethal and contagious then the question has to be asked natural or gain of function?.
Great Chart Talking About the 32 Mutations in B.1.1.529.
Jeffrey Barrett's Color Code Chart of all 32 Mutations of B.1.1.529
I'll attempt to reorganize in a summary although the color code works great.
B.1.1.529 Mutations
1. D614G- In all Covid Mutations since early 2020
2. Delta69-70 - S-Gene Target Failure comes from Alpha
3. T95I, comes from Delta
4. G14D/Delta143-145, comes from Delta
5. K417N comes from Beta, also seen in a Delta Plus strain
6. T478K comes from Delta
7. N501Y, increases speed of transmission, found in Alpha, Beta, Gamma RBD
8. H665Y, comes from Gamma
9. N679K, comes from Gamma sublineages
10. P681H, comes from Alpha furin cleavage
11. A67V came from VUI- B.1.525
12. N440K, this mutation helps Covid bind better in the lungs, comes from VUI- B.1.628, which was a Delta Plus Variant that supposedly only circulated in Southern India and phased out.
13. E484A, key RBD site
14. G339D, near mab binding
15. S371L, near mab binding
16. S373P, near mab binding
17. S375F, near mab binding
18. S477N, predicted in evolutionary models regarding ACE2 binding
19. Q498R, predicted in evolutionary models regarding ACE2 binding
20. Delta211/L212I, NEW
21. ins214EPE, NEW
22. G446S, NEW
23. Q493K, NEW
24. G496S, NEW
25. Y505H, NEW
26. T547K, NEW
27. N764K, NEW
28. D796Y, NEW
29. N856K, NEW
30. Q954H, NEW
31. N969K, NEW
32. L981F, NEW
It is extremely unusual to see all these mutations from different lineages of different Variants of Concern and different Variants of Interest all in one Covid strain. Along with that there's an additional 19 mutations that no one is sure what they do yet.
So there's simply no way that this one evolved "naturally" in a HIV-positive person. This is "harvested" in a HIV-positive person. It had help being harvested from different mutations of different lineages, different parts of the world.

It's like watching a really crappy B-movie, where you can guess what will happen, before it happens.
The old Totalitarian-Tip-Toe™ : just one little step at time.
So subtle that most never even notice.
Nobody asking, as we hurtle towards more Lockdowns™, and eventually Marshal-Law™ : where are the honest debates ?
Let's hope that some will start to notice, and some momentum will begin to grow...
But am still considering that we are being massively distracted, while TPTSB™ are always 3 moves ahead of us on the ole chess-board.
