As usual, we're hearing "dire news" of a new strain of SARS-CoV-2 that has emerged in GB. Mutations are normal and to be expected in viruses. The H1N1 Influenza virus mutates and the flu vaccine requires adjustments for them every flu season. There is not currently causitive evidence that the new strain is responsible for increased transmission or disease severity, as has been alleged by the lay press. So, no, the world's human population is not going to be wiped out by this variant of SAR-CoV-2.

The new variant has mutations to the spike protein that the three leading vaccines are targeting. However, vaccines produce antibodies against many regions in the spike protein, so it’s unlikely that a single change would make the vaccine less effective.

Over time, as more mutations occur, the vaccine may need to be altered. This happens with seasonal flu, which mutates every year, and the vaccine is adjusted accordingly. The SARS-CoV-2 virus doesn’t mutate as quickly as the flu virus, and the vaccines that have so far proved effective in trials are types that can easily be tweaked if necessary.

We should just give up. It's the end of the world...

Gretch is hauling out the big guns now.

Seems she doesn't feel like she's instilled enough fear into children for the holidays, by demanding that we forgo family holiday gatherings ...

NOW, she's enlisted the help of Santa himself, .. to drive home the message of how dangerous it is to celebrate Christmas in 2020.

Santa should probably leave a lump of coal in Gretch's stocking on Christmas, but she'd likely get fined by former Michigan governor and future "Energy" Secretary Gennifer Grandholm, who absolutely hates coal, coal miners and coal fired power plants.

Santa needs to fart while in bed with her and pull the covers over her...

This is insane.

Trump had Sidney Powell in the Oval Office last night and discussed making her a Special Counsel investigating election fraud. This would be one of the most insane things Trump might do.

Pat Cipillone spoke against it. Mark Meadows spoke against it. Even Giuliani spoke against it. Powell called them "quitters".

But Giuliani also said Trump should order DHS to "seize" voting machines in various states. DHS has already said they have absolutely no authority to do something like that.

Fuckface Michael Flynn was also there to argue for Trump imposing martial law on specific states, which other people in the room vigorously argued against.

Also, compare what Marco Rubio and Mike Pompeo have said about the massive hack with what Trump has said about it today

[Jeff Buchanan]

Re DSL's post on insanity above. I had no idea this actually happened in 1946. It's really a 2A defense but can you imagine martial law being imposed and a bunch of armed Proud Boys taking over state voting offices to seize voting machines? Regardless of the implications of that sort of insanity, this is an interesting short:

Russian Hackers!!

Remember when the media was trying to pass off Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian election interference? LMAO

Mike Pompeo is now part of the liberal media, apparently.
