You’d think after most Americans rolled up their sleeves for Covid “vaccines”—those experimental, gene-editing, mRNA-modifying shots—we’d be done with this virus.

Yet, the fear-mongering persists, and it’s hard not to wonder if the powers-that-be are unleashing new strains to keep us on edge.

Two new Covid variants, XFB (Stratus) and NB.1.8.1 (Nimbus), are reportedly tearing through the U.S., with the Northeast hit hardest.

Wastewater data signals a spike in infections, and experts warn even mild cases could leave lasting scars.

The CDC reports "moderate" national Covid wastewater levels, but Nevada, Utah, Delaware, and Connecticut are clocking "very high" readings, with the Northeast trending upward.

These variants bring unusual symptoms: a croaky voice and a sore throat so severe it feels like "razor blades."

"Patients were complaining of severe pain, as if their throat is covered with razor blades," Dr. Aaron Glatt, an infectious disease expert at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, told Today.com. "While not specific to Covid-19, this expression has been used to describe sore throat symptoms in some patients with the most recent Covid-19 variant."

Familiar complaints like headaches, coughing, fatigue, and nasal congestion also persist.

"Covid activity is clearly on the rise again. While we’re in a much better place than in 2020, rising transmission still poses a risk to those with underlying conditions or limited access to care. Concern should lead to preparedness, but not panic," Dr. Tyler Evans, former New York City chief medical officer, told the Daily Mail,

He added, “The dominant strain in the US right now is an Omicron subvariant called Nimbus (NB.1.8.1). It spreads quickly but is not more severe than earlier forms. It can still be dangerous for older adults, people with chronic conditions, and those with weakened immune systems."

XFB, first detected in Southeast Asia in January, hit the U.S. by March. By September 9, it accounted for 80 perce t of U.S. Covid cases, up from just 3 percent in May.

These variants spread faster due to genetic mutations, though experts claim they’re no deadlier.

Still, Dr. Laura Malone, director of the Pediatric Post-Covid-19 Rehabilitation Clinic at Kennedy Krieger Institute, warned The New York Times, “Just because you got through your first infection and didn’t develop long Covid, it’s not that you are completely out of the woods."

Long Covid evidently remains a "looming threat," even for mild cases.

Unlike the CDC's Biden-era directives, the government agency's vaccine panel has ditched blanket recommendations for shots, opting for "individual decision-making."

Meanwhile, yet another newly released study, a South Korean study in Biomarker Research, has found Covid shots “might raise the risk of cancer."

Across the pond, the UK’s Health Security Agency reports rising positivity rates, from 7.6 percent to 8.4 percent in a week, with hospital admissions climbing from 2 to 2.73 per 100,000.

They urge symptomatic people to stay home, avoid vulnerable groups, and wear masks if venturing out.

The UK’s pushing winter boosters for those over 75, immunocompromised individuals, and care home residents, with flu shots and nasal sprays for kids rolled out at pharmacies.

As new variants fuel infections, the narrative stays the same: fear, control, and more shots.

After years of compliance, you’d think we’d be free of this. Instead, the goalposts keep moving.
