⚠️Scoop—MOTHER OF GOD—Just got this leak from CDC-insider source—it seems #COVID variants worse than CDC has been admitting. The new highly evasive #BQ1 & #BQ11 sub variants are surging over 11%—but CDC has not shared it yet! Here is what will be posted soon (left) 🆚 current. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/BKyBgZwe86— Eric Feigl-Ding (@DrEricDing) October 14, 2022

      Anecdotally at least, we've been unable to get COVID out of the long term care facility I work at, we were just cleared on my unit a few days ago and then as part of outbreak testing we got a couple more cases because the families brought it in. In other parts of the building it's just not going away so the fact that we're seeing the start of a surge in the northeast seems reasonable.

        Weird. The only region which saw heavy Omciron-specific booster adoption since August sees the greatest surge in mutated variants. Two years ago we seemed to acknowledge that vaccines which don’t neutralize infection were in fact concerns for mutation in the long term, but at that time it only mattered for scoring points in the Western info war against Russia.

        the problem isn't "vaccines not neutralizing infection" (that's not a thing vaccines do) the problem is not vaccinating everyone means there is now a selective pressure on the evolution of a variant that escapes that vaccine
