TACT...Great article today. The "striking evolution" of this virus is correct. It may be picking up some especially nasty traits from its cousin MERS. Some of the newer mutations in the non-structural proteins of the virus may allow for the creation of double membrane vesicles (DMV). These little nasties are essentially virus factories that hide out from the immune system. The immune system can't kill what it can't see. Can you say persistence?
Regarding the XBB monovalent vaccine, some research claims it does have some efficacy against the JN.1 strain, but this is clearly a game of Whack-A-Mole.
Thank you and as I have written before there is very, very, very little to none scientifc understanding of this virus being explained in our K-12 US schools and hence even less mitigation. The CDC and state and city health departments are guilty of criminal malfeasance by this point as they have facilitated the reinfections of tens of millions of students and ed staff in schools and in homes with SARSCov2. I would be remiss if I didn't include the sell-out teacher union millionaire misleaders who have betrayed their members & students for their serving the interests of the DNC and its corporate donors above the interest of their union teacher members of which I am one. We must arouse the rank & file teacher members about the growing LONG Covid crisis and the virus's continuing retooling of new variants if transmission isn't greatly reduced especially in schools.
When I attempted to link one of TACT's articles to the coronavirus subreddit my post was automatically deleted with a message that substack was not allowed.
I have wondered if TACT might reach more readers through something other than substack. I always look forward to reading these articles, because I learn so much about a very important topic. I worry that there are not enough people aware of TACT.
