There is a new Covid variant and it is said to be resistant to immunity and more contagious and resistant to the Covid treatments that physicians are currently using. So here we go. The variant is called XBB. It is a variant of Omicron, the BA.1.1 variant. There is also BQ1.1. One is spreading through Asia and the other through Europe and the U.S. and they say that it spreads at twice the rate of previous variants. The media is saying that the most recent bivalent booster “should” provide protection against this new variant but we’re not sure how they know this given that the vaccine had no human trials.
