Before people read too much into this. The Yamagata line was already in the decline and mutated little even from before the pandemic. Locking people or the world for extended periods of over a year or social distancing would not have the same impact as others have mentioned. Not worth the price, plus, we would not want for it to come back with a vengeance, until we are certain that it is eradicated. Since it seem that we would have to stop travel for it to make a more serious dent.
First, 90% that is not fully irradicated. Or at the very least there is no guarantee of such claim. So to claim this is in this case is not correct.
“The stark reduction in global prevalence of B/Yamagata viruses compared with the other lineages may indicate an inherent vulnerability of this lineage. Indeed, B/Yamagata viruses have a lower effective reproductive number than B/Victoria viruses, and B/Yamagata epidemics have a slower initial growth phase with shorter transmission chains than B/Victoria epidemics5. This may make B/Yamagata more vulnerable to breakdowns in onward transmission, especially in the context of social distancing and movement restrictions. Furthermore, although multiple B/Yamagata clades can co-circulate for extended periods, previously long-lived clades went extinct6,7. Although the precise factors that drive B/Yamagata clades into extinction are unknown, the frequency of such extinctions suggests an intrinsic volatility in global B/Yamagata circulation. Lastly, as B/Victoria prevalence has been increasing since 2019, B/Yamagata may have already been at a low prevalence cycle at the beginning of the pandemic.
The global circulation patterns of influenza viruses have been associated with age-specific patterns of infection, whereby infection of adults, who are more likely to travel than children, correlates with greater global spread8. School-aged children and adolescents are more frequently infected with B/Victoria viruses, whereas adults over the age of 25 years are more frequently infected with B/Yamagata viruses5,7. Consistently, in 2008–2019, B/Yamagata viruses demonstrated greater global movement than B/Victoria viruses7. The reduction in global mobility due to the COVID-19 pandemic may have contributed to low distribution and seeding of B/Yamagata. Overall, the temporal and intrinsic epidemiology of B/Yamagata viruses may have rendered them particularly vulnerable to this effect.
From 2017, circulating B/Yamagata viruses have all been from a single lineage (clade 3A), whereas several lineages existed before. Although this clade has diversified at the genomic level, and even acquired amino acid substitution in haemagglutinin, these have not resulted in significant antigenic changes to necessitate updating the B/Yamagata vaccine component since 2015 (refs6,7). Therefore, although B/Yamagata viruses have continued to evolve genetically, they remain antigenically conserved in the haemagglutinin protein in recent years. Thus, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic coinciding with a period of low incidence and low antigenic diversity, coupled with prolonged use of a well-matched influenza vaccine, may have enabled massive suppression of B/Yamagata during the pandemic. However, as sampling and sequencing is not comprehensive, it is difficult to distinguish with certainty between lack of detection and true extinction.”
Objectively? In a lot of trouble. Real world, though? They are one of the largest companies that feeds/works for the American Military Weapons Complex plus they are also among the largest lobbying/donors of the Federal Government. Just behind pharma.
I am a life-long Liberal. I cannot wait for the door to hit him on the way out. Hell, I invite you to watch him in Parliamentary Sessions, not clips, actual sessions on CPAC, his holier-than-thou, drama teacher, never-a-direct answer way of doing things will make you hate him too. Of course on top of his personal 4 or 5 corruption/ethics scandals should be more than enough. I mean, these are like no secret and documented.
Not to mention his office recent inviting of an Ex-SS Officer, a Nazi, to get a standing ovation on National TV. Due to them just wanting to sell a PR stunt and clearly doing incompetent due diligence. And then he trying to somehow try to blame the Russians for his screw up. As if he thinks people are that stupid. Maybe he does.
If your take is to keep his manipulative, lying BS in there, just because people you politically disagree with do not like him then no wonder the Canada is going down the pipes. Politics are not a team sport.
Let the Americans do that if they want. We should know better.
“Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years,” says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. “Actually, it’s gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015.”...
Bottled water? Most mustards and ketchups? Or well, any liquids in a plastic container? They now sell even olive oil in plastic bottles. I avoid them like the plague. We all should.
Also, why charge a cop with a weapon, though? Teenager at least had the agency to not rush a cop.
Why there? Googled it, this is from a different article:
“The officer-involved shooting was reported before 5 p.m. Saturday, after the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department received a 911 call about a domestic disturbance in Apple Valley, authorities said.
The caller reported that 15-year-old Ryan Gainer was attacking his sister and smashing up glass and doors at the family home.”
Fact that they survive shutdowns because they can live and travel in your bookmarks is a great feature. I use Nextcloud Bookmarks amd not FF Sync and they work great.
Unknown as of yet, but given that he was literally working and giving testimony regarding an ongoing case against Boeing literally the week before, I suspect foul play.
How did no one notice he taking like a shot about every 3-4 days on average? Does that even make any sense? The more you try to parse it. Like, no one in his family noticed? Nor his Doctor? Did he travel around the world or to different countrues to get all of them? Since most countries do not have them all.
Looked into the guy, there is official evidence for 134 of the vaccinations, which include eight different types of vaccines authorized for human use. The remaining are self-reported. But still, guess no one cares or bothers to notice if you are pushing product.
