Debunking the Emerging Covid XBB Scare: Asian Sources By Brian Simpson
One aspect of the new thing of being solution-based, as seeing every is to appreciate the need to use information to debunk coming scares. There are many mainstream sites going into scare porn, as it is called about the latest Covid variant, XBB. But the Asian sites, and this is where the action is, say it is not a problem. So, here is some information to quote for Covid activists if the elites move to reinstate tyrannies if XBB cases mount. Herd immunity of this variant which seems to escape the vaxxes will be a powerful case for restraining the tyrants on the home front.
“While Asian health officials are concerned over the new XBB coronavirus variant, Singapore’s recent jump in infections should not be viewed as too big a concern, infectious disease experts said on Wednesday, even as the city state hosts large-scale events as part of its reopening plan.
The Singapore health ministry also refuted online rumours the new variant has resulted in an increase in severe cases and deaths, initiating an action from its fake news law.
This comes as Hong Kong detects its first case of XBB.1 and a leading expert said that it has the “strongest ability to evade vaccines among variants at the moment”.”
“Rumours that Singapore is seeing a significant increase in severe COVID-19 cases and deaths due to the XBB strain are untrue, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Tuesday (Oct 11).
"There have been rumours circulating via WhatsApp that Singapore is having a rapid and large increase in cases with severe illness and deaths due to the circulating XBB strain," the ministry said in a statement.
"This is not true. We are initiating POFMA action against such falsehoods," it added, referring to the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act.
While there is an increase in local cases driven by XBB, including the post-weekend spike this Tuesday, MOH said the number of severe cases has remained relatively low.
"This is very likely due to the resilience built up through vaccination and previous waves of infection. We are monitoring the trajectory closely," the ministry added.
"More importantly, there is also no evidence of XBB causing more severe illness. So far, the large majority of patients continue to report mild symptoms such as sore throat or slight fever, especially if they have been vaccinated."
The XBB strain is an Omicron subvariant that has also been detected in countries such as Australia, Bangladesh, Denmark, India, Japan and the United States since August.”
“Coronavirus: Omicron subvariant XBB.1 is strongest by far in vaccine evasion, a Hong Kong expert has warned.
A new Covid subvariant- XBB.1- which was recently detected for the first time in Hong Kong has sparked concerns as it has the strongest ability by far to evade vaccine protection, leading expert Dr Gilman Siu Kit-hang warned according to a report in South China Morning Post. The expert also said that there could be more strains during the winters.
Here are 5 points on Omicron XBB.1 subvariant:
- Dr Gilman Siu Kit-hang said that research indicates that the Omicron subvariant XBB.1 which was found in an imported infection is a combination of BA.2.10 and BA.2.75.
- The subvariant is more evasive to vaccine immunity than other known variants.
- Dr Gilman Siu Kit-hang said XBB.1 was first found in Singapore, while Nepal and Bangladesh have also recorded cases of XBB.1.
- Dr Gilman Siu Kit-hang said that it was difficult to say whether XBB.1 would become the dominant strain in Hong Kong.
- Issuing a serious warning, the expert said that more mutant strains were expected to emerge in the winter throughout the world.”
