Biden claims “there is nothing we can do” to halt mass death from coronavirus

{In the three days that included Trump’s last day in office, the inauguration, and Biden’s first full day as the 46th president of the United States, over 11,000 Americans perished from complications of their COVID-19 infection. The seat of power has exchanged hands, but the suffering remains the same.}

And so does the policy.

{Biden declared yesterday that “there is nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.” This is a blatant lie, and an assertion that would meet with even Donald Trump’s approval.}

{The uncontrolled spread of the virus is driving a slew of new worrisome mutations. Already a California variant of the virus, CAL.20C, has been identified to have become the dominant strain accounting for half of the virus sequenced in Los Angeles.}

{Even more troubling has been evidence that some of these mutations, such as seen in the South African variant known as 501Y.v2 and the Manaus, Brazil, strain named P.1, can evade immune responses triggered by vaccines and previous infections.}

Perpetual allowance of sacrifice within the population has lead to purposeful mutilations. We are seemingly looking towards a mutant virus that no vaccine will stop in time to stop deaths. Mutations are coming at a pace faster than vaccines can be produced. In which no one can yet scientifically assure us if the present one will work on any or all of them. This includes if you go beyond the limited time to receive a second shot required on the initial strain.

Who'd have thought it - change the head millionaire and nothing changes. I never would have seen that coming,

I also like "the relative hazard of death within 28 days was 1.35...", which is why the UK figures are all 'seasonally adjusted' to hell. Apparently, if you die 29 days after getting the virus you didn't actually die. Just like the UK invented the ability to become invisible (easily achieved simply by becoming homeless) it's now invented immortality. Hurrah for government statistics - where would we be without them.
