Infectious disease expert Dr. William Schaffer says it's only a matter of time before a new variant first discovered in Africa is found in Canada.

we knew this the day delta came out. covid is like windows, updating itself every month so we can get our anti-virus notifications.
The way Gates PLANNED it..
should’ve known this from day 1 considering it takes a mutating virus to even jump from animals to humans
@sinephase u ruined it
@Deuterium Meridian it CMOS to be that way
@Mike Carreiro Glad your vision is clear. Mine is SCSI a presently.
With the housing prices in Canada these days, maybe the camps wont be so bad.
Lmao that was solid 👌 Well played
@Venture Ontario the conspiracy theorist predictions have been nearly perfect so far
@TBH 10 stages of genocide
😄
@sistaschin facts. But you have an emoji
Lets just start naming variants after Transformers. Omicron is a Decepticon for sure.
I thought they called it “Omicron” because it came from Omicron Persei 8
It base of greek alphabet
pretty sure they meant Unicron
I miss lambda. Lol.
@Langton Industries Omicron is a loyal, hard-working Decepticon who is respectful, yet not afraid to challenge authority. He will do what ever is necessary to further the Decepticon’s conquest of the Universe, even if it costs him personal harm. He dreams of someday being the Decepticon leader, yet doesn’t scheme against his current commanders
This will never end .
@The Tech Well in all honesty it doesn’t take much sense to realize that repeating the same actions over and over and getting the same result is useles
Climate change?
@Joshua Klein Do you play one on TV too… Or just on the internet?
@Joshua Klein you know how much these experts have made from this pandemic?
Too much money exchanging hands. Covid will end when it’s no longer profitable.
YOU MUST publish the SCIENTIFIC ISOLATION / PURIFICATION RECORD of the NEW “VARIANT” . THERE WAS 4 DIPLOMATS IN BOTSWANA WHO GOT POSITIVE . Now the new “variant” spreading all over the world with a “tremendous ” speed .
“trumendus” what does this mean?
Lol
@Eugene Denny you seem to be very smart , Like an okra !
Does it travel faster than the common cold?
Knew this would never stop were all going to live like this for the next 10 years I bet
Get a 3D printer and resin before they’re banned
Nah, its the New Religion
it will be another 2000 years , like Jesus was the Old Lord
We are being converted again
Tuskegee Study
Rest of our lifes
Only 10 years? You are an optimist.
I dont think you guys needed an “Expert” to announce which that we had already knew that our nation would be tainted with the same stratagem.
YEA IT STARTED WITH TRUDOPES OPEN BORDERS!!!
Bet you didnt realize its your new religion yet?
They like to insult our intelligence though ..
Thank You Dr. William.
“It is too easy right now” to travel from any
place that has dangerous variants to the United States. It is not a matter of if but when one of these dangerous variant will come to the United States. It could spread worldwide within a couple of months as of today 11/26/21 because everyone is traveling. I am concerned.
@Je-Free Norman Unfortunately
If you think the only way out of this is to vaccinate every person in the world… I hope you don’t mind being extremely disappointed.
Many doctors and scientists say how we can’t vaccinate our way out of this. And with what has happened so far it would make sense. Though much data has been manipulated I’m sure.
@Joseph Dell _Many doctors and scientists say how we can’t vaccinate our way out of this._
We NEVER needed COVID vaccines at all. COVID was and is mostly a disease of the elderly.
@Roger Auger 🤣👏😷🤒🤕🤢😵💫😵
@Primmakin Sofis hey hey hey don’t bring logic into this , if you’re healthy you have no chance of death but we’ll act like you will die . so get back in line and get those 23042903458 booster shots.
@Roger Auger 🤣
That’s a surprise absolutely didn’t see this coming it’s as shocking as gas going up before a long weekend.
dont wait for stupid Who guidlines….make ur own guidelines …the only take away so far
Seems like there’s always a Christmas lockdown
The government is anti-christ
THIS WILL NEVER END.
@RetroBlue no I mean when we say so.
@frasertones Currently 1.25% of hospital beds are occupied by covid patients.
@Alan Ross Exactly. That’s because we’ve been taking precautions. If we just let it run wild it will overwhelm healthcare systems again like it has in so many places around the world. It’s very obvious you don’t work in a hospital and are NOT a healthcare professional.
@frasertones Are you a health care professional? Which hospital was ever overrun with covid patients?
@allan Ross, I can answer that for him, no hospital in the world was ever overwhelmed..
Apparently Covid loves holidays as much as the next guy.
So how many variants ?
How many booster ?
Who’s testing for variant?
Who’s testing for natural immunity?
So how many variants ? No one knows or cares.
How many booster ? TBD
Who’s testing for variant? No one that we would know.
Who’s testing for natural immunity? No one.
Hey guys, remember when Biden said “We are going to go into a Dark winter” awhile ago?
It wasn’t a warning.
It was a threat.
Variants are desperately needed to be responsible for whatever happened due to some mandated object with a needle on the top…
We are fools to even believe this nonsense
There is going to be variants till the end of days. Jesus Christ
considering we don’t owe them the ability to travel to our country, it’s a weird perspective to think that it’s our obligation to sacrifice our health for them
I really want to hear from experts on why these quick mutations over such a short amount of time. It’s almost like it was designed to do this.
