COVID-19: Level 6 Variants. If 80% of USA's Population is Boosted, 90,000 Lives Will Be Saved.
Dr. Kevin Kavanagh, MD, from Health Watch USA(sm) discusses worrisome variants which are occurring. These include the B.1.1 variant which has been detected in Canada and the United Kingdom, along with a group of variants, Level 6 variants, which share a group of immune evading mutations, that are emerging in Southeast Asia. Level 6 variants can also have different linages and are an example of convergent evolution, where different linages take on the same mutations. The need for everyone to obtain the bivalent booster is imperative. The Commonwealth Fund projects that If 80% of the United States’ eligible population becomes boosted, 90,000 lives would be saved compared to the current rate of obtaining boosters. The flu season this year may also be more severe, since Australia has had a severe flu season. One can obtain the COVID booster and flu vaccine at the same time. Jack Pattie Show. Oct. 10, 2022.
