In late-April The WinePress reported that the media was hyping another pair of subtypes of the reported Omicron variant, in New South Wales, Australia: BA.4 And BA.5.
New South Wales Reports Two More Omicron Variants: BA.4 And BA.5
After fading away in the media as soon as they were announced, the media is now touting them again, blaming them for being the catalyst for a rise in cases in the United Kingdom.
The following are excerpts from an article by the Independent:
Concern is growing over two new sub-variants of Covid-19 that have driven up infection rates in the UK, inspiring fears that other countries could soon likewise see a resurgence in cases.
That means they have more in common with the earlier, more dangerous Alpha and Delta variants than the highly transmissible but milder Omicron, which targeted upper respiratory tract tissue.
Potentially, these mutations might also enable the sub-variants to sidestep antibodies from past infections or vaccination and therefore overcome immunity.
Preliminary data captured by Professor Kei Sato of the University of Tokyo in Japan appears to indicate as much, prompting the virologist to comment:
Altogether, our investigations suggest that the risk of [these] Omicron variants, particularly BA.4 and BA.5, to global health is potentially greater than that of original BA.2.
Professor Sato’s experiments indicate that the variants replicate more efficiently in the lungs than Omicron, while further experiments in hamsters have suggested that BA.4 and BA.5 may bring more severe disease.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in turn labelled BA.4 and BA.5 “variants of concerns” back in mid-May.
[…] It is now more than six months since the last major booster jab drive was mounted ahead of Christmas and the New Year and immunity could be beginning to wane, potentially leading to more patients needing professional care and perhaps even deaths, either now or later in the year when flu season descends.There’s a disconnect between the actuality of how infections are happening… and how people are deciding not to take very many precautions.
John Swartzberg, a professor emeritus of infectious diseases and vaccinology at the University of California-Berkeley’s School of Public Health, warned The Daily Beast, observing the UK situation and suggesting its conditions could easily be replicated across the Atlantic.
Should the equivalent sub-variant surge arrive in North America, moving from east to west as all previous Covid waves have done, the US will find itself much less well immunised, with just 66.8 per cent of the American public fully vaccinated and only 47 per cent having received a booster.

Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.
Proverbs 13:16
The propaganda will not cease, and the Covid war is not over. The media will continue to make-up as many variants and shamdemics as long as they need to.
Fauci, New Zealand, Ireland, And Germany Are Telling People To Put Their Masks Back On Once More
[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).

Oh check it out, the “science evolved.”

calling Dr Fauci! Calling Dr Fauci!
Fauci: how can I help you? I was busy partaking in human sacrifice at Bohemian Grove with Bill Gates.
Coming out of totally taken & controlled Australia, of course. Pity & pray for the brethren trapped there, & there are some, along with all the cultic ecumenical garbage of not-New Baal Song….even as there were the prophets & remnants in the first & foreshadowing Assyrian and Babylonian judgments of God’s people the Jews. The completed scriptures are in the place of the prophets today & Christ is our great intercessor and high priest with the Spirit more than able to sort & deal with the souls of men aright & according to the will & purposes of Almighty God.

Psalm 37 and John 14-16 give us balancing instruction, spiritual sight beyond the merely visible, & peace even in the midst of our afflictions & storms. Galatians 5&6, and Colossians 3&4 instruct us in lawful restraint & the call to sanctification necessarily remaining in lawful Christian liberty. All of the epistles give us of this age instruction for times of persecution & judgment, but the epistles of Paul to the Thessalonians, & those of Peter & Jude give us especial instruction for our age.

Otherwise, the best thing to come out of Australia so far as I’m concerned was the improved dual purpose meat & good layer bird, the Buff Orpington, into the super-layer dual purpose Australorp.
