The fear that deer could be a harbinger for a new infectious Covid variant was recently reignited this week, after a team of scientists claim to have found a new one that could spread to us, per a newly published study in the journal Nature Microbiology.
The WinePress reported twice last year that scientists and mainstream media were touting fears that deer populations could be a reservoir for new Covid variants, calling for their vaccination to prevent this potential for a zoonotic threat:
This new variant is listed as “B. 1.641,” which was purportedly detected late last year from the nasal swabs of five white-tailed deer in southwestern Ontario, Canada. Around the same time frame a man in Ontario also tested for a “highly similar” genetic sequence to the variant, scientists suggest in their research paper. This particular variant is supposedly in the lineage of the other “B.1” variants heavily reported on – to which there are reported 76 different ones in this group – in 2021 before Omicron became the talk of the media.
Research scientist at Canada’s National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease and lead author for this study, Brad Pickering, explained that is still remains unknown how this man came down with the virus, he told the Toronto Star.
Obviously it’s rare because, you know, we’re only seeing one (case) out of all of these things we surveilled.
I don’t think we necessarily have to be overly concerned about [this exact variant]. It’s not going to be this huge public health threat. But I think it’s informative to know that there’s a potential risk for viruses to be maintained in wildlife.
The interesting part is … we think because there is so many changes — there is about 76 changes to the virus — we’re thinking that it was probably circulating in deer for a long period of time, almost a year. And a year for [a coronavirus] is a long time.
Pickering said, believing this to quite possibly be the first documented exampled of a Covid variant being transmitted to a person from an animal
Pickering added that other scientists has been monitoring 20 other species since 2020, such as bats, skunks, and raccoons.
The Toronto Star wrote, ‘Unlike Omicron, and despite nine of the deer variant’s mutations being on the spike protein — the feature of the COVID-19 virus targeted by major vaccines — B. 1.641 was effectively wiped out by blood samples of people either vaccinated two to three times or who have already recovered from infection, the study found.’
‘This potentially means older variants of the virus could keep evolving in animals like deer and minks, then eventually leap back into humans with new functions and abilities, Pickering said,’ the outlet added.
In 2020 Denmark culled roughly 17 million mink in the country over fears that they could transmit Covid to residents.
Sarah Otto, head of the British Colombia COVID-19 Modelling Group, and a professor of evolutionary biology at the University of British Columbia, unaffiliated with the study, said that she is not particularly worried about the spread of this variant jumping to us, but did call the findings “eye-opening” concerning the spread of Covid amongst animals.
I think that this study was really eye-opening for demonstrating that not only is the virus spread among deer, but it’s evolving in its own direction within deer.
It could be evolving to specialize in deer and actually be very poorly replicating in humans.
Alternatively, it can evolve different capacities and different ways of infecting cells that are still functional in humans, and jump back into humans, which is the worst [outcome].
It’s too early to tell, but I think in general, having many large reservoirs of this virus in animals is bad news. The more opportunities for this virus to evolve and jump back into humans, the worse it is.
We’re taking a fairly limited snapshot of what’s going on because of the focus on this one species. And so I think the question is, how many other species is this also happening to?
Otto said
Due to the fears that Covid could indeed be transmitted to animals to us, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has updated their recommendations to hunters and trappers when handling game meat; to cook the meat to 74° C or 165° F, process carcasses in a well-ventilated area with gloves and eye protection, wear a masks when exposed to animal lung tissues and fluids, and more.
Based on available information to date, animal-to-human transmission is likely very uncommon. COVID-19 is mainly transmitted from human to human.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Fear the dear; they’re coming to get ya!
Even though this is just more pseudo-science, and complete and utter duplicity once more, it still plays into the agenda to get rid of meat:
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. [4] For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: [5] For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 1 Timothy 4:1-5
Readers familiar with my work know that I have routinely warned that this is probably what ‘they’ will attempt to do to get the masses to not eat meat; by making up an outbreak of Covid, or some other peek-a-boo disease, to justify vaccinating livestock, wildlife, and pets; leading to their deaths. Or, just skip all of that and do what Denmark did and simply slaughter the mink with mere words as their justification.
[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).

WOW, this is unbelievable! they are not satisfied with harming our domesticated food now they need to attack our wildlife food supply as well. This is evil at its finest, if our Lord tarries much longer we will be doomed.
Oh, Deer!
Jacob have you seen this ceremony ? I just can across it today wow!!! Just out in the open now huh !?

I hope you do an article on this
Lol…Andrew! That was a good one.

Right. Hit the wildlife. Blame the wildlife. Fear the wildlife. (But we Looooooooove nature & the environment…not you so much, but… really they hate all things living, clean, pure, healthy & whole, free…)

Latest news here in Ohio also involved the ‘accidental release’ of a couple hundred thousand mink from a mink farm. (Read: Crony sees the light & where the brotherhood is signaling, & gets his insurance claim in there while the getting is good; empties the barns for maybe a changeover to ‘covered’, ‘managed’ gmo NEW ag venture if he’s a ‘good boy’) But those creatures are INCREDIBLY destructive to regular poultry & farming, killing just to kill, & getting in anywhere a mouse or rat can. Van Wert County.

Just ONE or two mink escaped from a local mink farm so devastated a relative’s backyard chicken flock multiple times til she just gave it up. Shocking. Looked like a bloody massacre each time. When they strengthened & tightened up the coop & run, they would reach in & kill the chickens trying to pull them through the wire.

They’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of the Lyme leak from Plum Island and the deer carrying them as far as making people afraid to venture out. Couple points to remember: for some reason, ticks are most common around oak trees. If you look up herbs, spices useful for deterring insects, lice etc…the same ones deter ticks as well. Not perfectly& absolutely (nothing is unless it kills you too)…but tea tree oil, the citrus oils, peppermint, lavender, anise, ylang-ylang, neem etc.

Also, if we can’t eat the deer, or they kill them off to ‘save us’, don’t forget what the deer eat. They love acorns, and if acorns are leached in running water for a couple weeks, or boiled in water & changed as you would with poke greens….pouring it off and boiling with fresh water at least 3 or 4 times: then people can eat them, too. You could make porridge or dry & make flour of them. The native Americans would find a stony, clear running stream, find or make hollows & place acorns there to leach. It was one of the reasons their settlements were along the streams & rivers, as well as for transportation, access to water.

I love how they used ‘harbinger’ like that kabalist Talmudic Jew who got so much mileage out of 9-11, too …what a hook, scam, predictive programming for the prophecy club & Sid Roth ‘It’s Supernatural’ addicts & biblical ignoramuses. What was his name?? Wrote about the blood moon nonsense, too. When the world gets to those signs recorded in Revelation 6 & 8, it will be unmistakeable & no eclipse or such thing.

Cahn. Jonathan Cahn. (con for real, merchandi$er and $orcerer extraordinaire, and no friend closer than a brother, Jonathan, that’s for sure) It always got me how they used that verse about rebuilding with bricks and the sycomores from Isaiah 9 as though it were a good thing & not a ‘harbinger’ of God’s coming judgment. It’s not like the context is that hard to figure out there in Isaiah 9. Used to just make me shake my head, & I remember trying to warn people who were reading that & not their Bibles. Even just checking the Bible references he gave disproved what he was saying about them…it’s ‘supernatural’ alright. God giving men over & 2 Thess 2 delusion supernatural.
I only read Jonathan Cahn’s first book and I had a different take on what he revealed about the sycamore tree and rebuilding thing. I’ll have to go over that again. I really do not follow much of what he says given that he has hooked up with Jim Baker. Maybe they’re sincere, but isn’t Baker hawking all kinds of survival goods these days? I did not realize that minks were such terrorists when it came to chickens. Thanks for the “heads up”.I almost have a pokeweed orchard in my yard without having to do one thing, so maybe next spring will be the year I try to do the cook and rinse and repeat thing with the greens.
Of course these new “findings” are revealed right before deer season.
kddlporter, if the mink come my way my wife will have a new mink coat, I am a hunter, trapper, and fisherman. plus a farmer.
THIS IS ALL SO MUCH BS!!!
“They” are planning on injecting ALL domestically grown farm animals with the bio jab.
Someone tell me, what the hell is the difference?
I say:
ABSOLUTELY NO PLANDEMIC AMNESTY UNTIL A GENEVA CODE TYPE TRIBUNAL AND A FULL NURENBURG 2.0 BEEN CONDUCTED AND THE GUILTY HAVE BEEN TRIED AND SENTENCED!!!
Somebody make a t.shirt and I will buy one
It’s getting far too ridiculously …………..
Where are the Men?????
