Keep up the great work, ladies and gentlemen!

The Centers for Disease Control issued a statement that reversed its previous assessment regarding the most recent COVID-19 variant.

Currently, the latest variant, referred to as BA.2.86, is combated by already-known antibodies, per research from multiple labs examined by the CDC. The announcement was issued Friday.

Initially, the CDC released a risk assessment that warned the variant could be “more capable of causing infection in people who have previously had COVID-19 or who have received COVID-19 vaccines.” As of Friday morning, cases with the variant were found in Colorado, Delaware, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington.

The fallout from the agency’s latest efforts must have been so massive it destroyed the CDC’s will to politicize the BA.2.86 variant for election stealing purposes. Now the agency says: Existing antibodies work.
