[Ed. Note: Yeah, “an atomic bomb.” Ok. This article would be less idiotic if atomic bombs were known for killing 0.028% of the people in the impact zone… and only killing people who have 17 other diseases. Do you ever get tired of writing doom-porn, Snyder?]

End of the American Dream
Global health authorities had been hoping that 2021 would be the year when the COVID pandemic was brought under control, but COVID just keeps mutating over and over again. I have written articles about other new COVID variants in the past, but now scientists are warning us that a highly resistant new variant in Brazil could be the most dangerous one of all. In fact, down in Brazil it is being compared to “an atomic bomb”. This new variant is known as “P.1”, and according to a new study that was just released it is “between 1.4 and 2.2 times more transmissible than other variants”. But that isn’t why this variant is considered to be so dangerous. What is really alarming experts is the fact that tests have shown that P.1 is “able to evade 25-61 percent of protective immunity elicited by previous infection”. If those that are supposed to have built up immunity against COVID are not protected, that could potentially render all existing vaccines useless against this new strain.
I understand that this is not going to be welcome news for a lot of people.
Most Americans have been looking forward to getting back to their normal lives as this pandemic fades, but instead this pandemic could soon enter a deadly new chapter.
