sarahb 17,207 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 The "B.1.621" or "Mu" variant of COVID-19 that sparked fears of vaccine resistance and increased infectiousness, appears to have been eradicated in the U.S., according to virus tracking website Outbreak.info. According to the most recent data on the website, for September 20, the Mu variant accounted for zero percent of the cases of COVID-19 in the U.S., and there were no confirmed cases of the variant found. The Mu strain had previously been found in nearly every U.S. state. The Mu variant peaked in the U.S. on June 19, when it accounted for three percent of the country's total cases of COVID-19. The strain was first detected in Colombia in January, and since been found in at least 40 countries, but is thought to currently be responsible for less than 0.5 percent of global infections, according to Outbreak.info When Professor Anna Durbin, Director, Center for Immunization Research, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, was asked if Mu had been out-dominated by Delta, she replied "this is most likely explanation." "Virus strains are competing with one another and it is definitely survival of the fittest, essentially the virus that can infect more people faster. It is likely that Mu was not able to out-compete delta," she added. "I also think vaccines contributed, as they provide protection to more people making fewer susceptible hosts. "The more viruses replicate, the more they are able to mutate and adapt. Vaccines provide protection and reduce the amount of infectious virus and reduce the amount of time viruses can replicate. This means the virus has much less opportunity to mutate and adapt." https://www.newsweek.com/mu-covid-variant-vaccine-resistance-eradicated-us-1633406?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1632910023 Do you feel him sir?
