Intisari-online.com – Covid-19 indeed dangerous, it is not wrong to warn of the dangers of this virus.
However, a scientist gave excessive information about this virus.
According to Russian Today (RT) Radio reported on Tuesday (24/8), epidemiologists are accused of spreading fear.
He predicted that a new super variant called Covid-22 would emerge next year.
This new variant is very dangerous which is predicted to appear in 2022.
In line with his opinion, Dr Sai Reddy, this Swiss epidemiologist said that the combination of existing SARS-CoV-2 virus variants could create a Covid-22 variant.
According to him, this is very dangerous and could cause a pandemic to rage again.
Reddy also explained that people might not be able to rely on the Covid-19 vaccine to protect themselves from this super variant.
“It is very likely that a new type of variant will emerge and the vaccination will no longer work,” the Swiss epidemiologist said.
He stated if variants like Beta or Gamma became more infectious or Delta, which he called Covid-21.
But as this variant continues to evolve, humans are able to enter a “new phase” of disease, a pandemic “worse than we are experiencing”.
Dr. Reddy also called for additional injections to help fight the virus, as this would help produce antibodies and prevent new variants from emerging.
The epidemiologist’s statement was later published by the Insider Paper with the title: “WARNING: A new super variant named ‘Covid-22’ may be more lethal than the Delta strain.”
Given that Reddy’s statement was conjecture, many experts and citizens accused him of spreading information that frightened the public.
while health officials are trying to continue to appeal to the public, vaccinate and warn of an increasing number of new infections.
“Rumors have started again,” replied one Twitter user.
“This information is like pure fear porn, this variant doesn’t even exist except in this scientist’s mind,” another shared.
