WHO Now Warns Of New Mutant “XE” Omicron Variant That Is Touted As ‘The Most Transmissible Version Of Covid Yet’

International media these last couple of weeks have been warning about a sudden resurgence of a sub-variant of the reported Omicron variant, called BA.2, or sometimes referring to as “Deltacron.”

But now the media and World Health Organization is sounding the alarm on yet another purported sub-mutation of Omicron.

Apparently, there are now three different designations for the Omicron subtypes: “XD, XF, and XE,” according to new data published by the UK Health Services Agency. XD and XF have been around for a bit (though the media is now starting to use these terms), which are other classifications for the Delta variant and BA.1, which combine to make the “Deltacron.”

So now, “XE” has joined the club, and Deadline says it is a “recombinant strain, meaning it is made up of two previously-distinct variants. But it is not a Deltacron mix. XE is actually made up of the original Omicron (BA.1) and the newer Omicron (BA.2) which has taken over in the U.S.”

The WHO shared its preliminary findings in a new report published on the 29th.

The XE recombinant was first detected in the United Kingdom on 19 January and >600 sequences have been reported and confirmed since. Early-day estimates indicate a community growth rate advantage of ~10% as compared to BA.2, however this finding requires further confirmation.

The recent significant reduction in SARS-CoV-2 testing by several Member States. Data are becoming progressively less representative, less timely, and less robust. This inhibits our collective ability to track where the virus is, how it is spreading and how it is evolving: information and analyses that remain critical to effectively end the acute phase of the pandemic.

The WHO reported

The United Kingdom Health Services Agency also corroborates with the WHO, per a weekly progress report published on the 25th, but with the WHO’s data being a bit more recent.

XE shows evidence of community transmission within England, although it is currently less >1% of total sequenced cases. Early growth rates for XE were not significantly different from BA.2, but using the most recent data up to 16 March 2022, XE has a growth rate 9.8% above that of BA.2. As this estimate has not remained consistent as new data have been added, it cannot yet be interpreted as an estimate of growth advantage for the recombinant. Numbers were too small for the XE recombinant to be analysed by region.

Deadline concludes its report by stating,

‘To be clear, XE only accounts for a tiny fraction of cases worldwide. That may change, given that XE is thought to be about 10% more transmissible than the already more-transmissible BA.2. That means it may be roughly 43% more transmissible than the original Omicron that savaged the globe last winter.’

‘But a new wave of infections from the now-dominant BA.2 has not materialized, even as restrictions have been eased. So hopefully the trend with XE, should it out-compete BA.2, will be similar. Only time — and good surveillance — will tell,’ the outlet says.

The WHO just recently warned that in order to stop the Covid pandemic, surveillance must increased, along with vaccination and treatment.

Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.

Proverbs 13:15

Heeeerre we go again: have to keep pumping the fear some more, creating more animosity that this made-up variant might be worse than the last. Lather, rinse, repeat: these people continue to make up random facts and numbers to justify more restrictions and more invasiveness in our lives.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
