Does anyone know this guy?
There has been some guy (seanpm2001, by the looks of it) that has been following me for quite a while on github. Looking at his profile, I see he's following 1.5k+ people and has 1.3k+ repositories. His contributions are greener than Linus torvalds' could ever hope to be, but all of his repos seem to be completely empty. Going into one of them (this one: https://github.com/seanpm2001/Code-distancing), it seems to have 180 forks, by accounts with the same name (seanpm2001-something), but with different profile pictures. I tried looking him up, but got nothing. Does anyone have any info on him? He looks rather interesting.

At what point do you think things will change?
"Publicly available data on the number of analyzed sequences over two-week windows for each country were extracted from covariants.org and Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID) initiative databases [3, 4]."

COVID in California: Newer variants cause more symptoms, study says
I've also found covariants to be pretty useful, especially if you're looking at other countries
- Scientists Fear New COVID Strains Are Deadly—Just Like 2020 Wave
- Some people are saying the 2nd or 3rd time you get COVID the symptoms are much milder. Some are saying the symptoms their symptoms were not as bad their first time having it. For those who’ve had it more than once, how was your experience?

Vancouver travels
Variants: As of June 13th, Canada is 56% BA.2, 29% BA.2.12.1,10% BA.5, and 5% BA.4. Although BA.4 and BA.5 are not yet dominant in Canada, they are rapidly replacing BA.2 and BA.2.12.1 as they were each at 2% on the last reporting of May 30th thus representing a ~>3x increased prevalence within that short period of time. As the growth of BA.4 and BA.5 is following an exponential growth pattern, I expect that in the next reporting (June 30th) they will both be dominant. I think it's safe to say that they are already dominant though based on this. Source: https://covariants.org/

How many people here are ecstatic about not falling victim to vaccine propaganda, after reading studies showing its ineffectiveness?
A lot of scientists said that using an mRNA vaccine against a coronavirus was completely stupid to begin with. That mass vaccination would favor immune evasion and render the vaccines worthless. And that's exactly what happened. You can see that very clearly on covariants.org . We were lucky, the new variants were a lot less deadly than the old ones. If a variant like Marseille 4 popped up and took over, it would have been a slaughter. We gave it a shot. We saw very clearly that it didn't work, and moreso, that it was dangerous to use a mass vaccination strategy for a virus that mutates and recombines a lot. Cause as immune evasion occurs, and the vaccine shows to be a lot less efficient than we hoped, this makes people at risk just as vulnerable as before.

If natural immunity is so great on its own, why the need for vaccines anyway?
So it's not really hoping for the best. It's using the best tools we have to reach herd immunity, both natural and artificial. The problem when we mass vaccinate, with mRNA vaccines that focus on a spike, is that variants that can circonvolute the immunity put in place by the vaccine, have it a lot easier than before to take over. You can see this in the data on covariants.org very clearly. This renders the vaccine a lot less effective as those variants have no natural competition. Thus putting the people that really need the vaccine, the people at risk, in a lot more danger, even vaccinated. This is why a lot of experts advised since the start to not mass vaccinate like we did. Sadly they weren't heard.

An attempt at resuming the concerns from experts about the vaccines.
Viruses are part of our eco-system. We evolve in a world with viruses, bacteria, etc... This means there is natural competition between them. And if you mass vaccinate people against a virus, like the original strain of covid from Wuhan, this makes that particular variant disappear. The variants that can circonvolute the immunity put in place by the vaccine have a lot more chances to take over as they don't have natural competition with the original strain. If you go on a website like covariants.org, you can see that variants take over a lot faster now than they did before the vaccination. Because they have a lot more freedom. These are phenomena that we already witnessed in vaccination of intensively bred chickens and that are well studied. This is why even scientifical authorities, that are part of the consensus and the official voices for the government and the scientific community, like Fauci or Delfraissy, had concerns since the start of the vaccine rollout about this. However, it was worth a shot. Since then, we learned that those doubts were founded. Yet we still prone mass vaccination as some kind of panacea against the pandemic.
