New variants are discovered frequently, but most don't go on to become "variants of concern", like omicron, delta and beta. The WHO has assigned each variant of concern with a name from the Greek alphabet (the first was "alpha", the second "beta", while letters "Xi" and "Nu" have been skipped because they are "confusing", per the WHO).

The Book of Revelation describes the judgments of the apocalypse in terms of pestilence and plagues:

⁷ When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” ⁸ And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth. (Rev. 6:7-8)

15 Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished.  (Rev 15:15)

But, along with this terrifying judgment of the Law, we also see the Gospel expressed in an Intercessor who stands between us and the plagues.

Scientists Discover That One Big Assumption That Everyone Has Been Making About COVID-19 May Be Dead Wrong

Yes, those that have had COVID-19 do develop antibodies.

But two new scientific studies have discovered that those antibodies start to fade very, very quickly.

For example, a study that was recently conducted in China found that more than 90 percent of COVID-19 patients experience steep declines in COVID-19 antibodies “within 2 to 3 months”…

A new study from China showed that antibodies faded quickly in both asymptomatic and symptomatic COVID-19 patients during convalescence, raising questions about whether the illness leads to any lasting immunity to the virus afterward.

The study, which focused on 37 asymptomatic and 37 symptomatic patients, showed that more than 90% of both groups showed steep declines in levels of SARS-COV-2–specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies within 2 to 3 months after the onset of infection, according to a report published yesterday in Nature Medicine. Further, 40% of the asymptomatic group tested negative for IgG antibodies eight weeks after they were released from isolation.

And an extensive study conducted in Spain found that some patients who had initially successfully developed antibodies “no longer had antibodies weeks later”…

A large study from Spain showed that antibodies could disappear weeks after people have tested positive, causing some to question how possible it will be to attain herd immunity.

A study published in the medical journal Lancet showed 14% of people who tested positive for antibodies no longer had antibodies weeks later.

This is devastating news, and it has severe implications for vaccine development…

Such findings have implications for vaccine development since the efficacy of a vaccine hinges on the idea that a dose of weakened or dead virus can prompt your body to generate antibodies that protect you from future infection. If those antibodies are fleeting, a vaccine’s protection would be transient too.

Short-lived antibodies also diminish the hopes of achieving widespread or permanent herd immunity.

If antibodies can fade in some patients within weeks, and if about everyone loses them after a few months, that would render any vaccine almost entirely useless.

And if these findings are confirmed, we can pretty much forget about ever achieving “herd immunity.”

Instead, we are potentially facing a future in which COVID-19 will be with us permanently. People will need to understand that there is a possibility that they will be able to get infected repeatedly.

Sadly, there is evidence that this is already starting to happen for some patients. In a recent article for Vox, a doctor in Washington D.C. named D. Clay Ackerly shared that one of his patients got infected with COVID-19 again three months after being infected the first time…

“Wait. I can catch Covid twice?” my 50-year-old patient asked in disbelief. It was the beginning of July, and he had just tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, for a second time — three months after a previous infection.

And in that same article, Dr. Ackerly explained that other doctors are starting to see similar cases….

Recent reports and conversations with physician colleagues suggest my patient is not alone. Two patients in New Jersey, for instance, appear to have contracted Covid-19 a second time almost two months after fully recovering from their first infection. Daniel Griffin, a physician and researcher at Columbia in New York, recently described a case of presumed reinfection on the This Week in Virology podcast.

If you stop and think about what it means, it will chill you to the core.

It means that COVID-19 is never going away.

And every time you get it, the more severe it is likely to be. Each time it will do even more permanent damage to your system until it finally finishes you off.

I sincerely wish that what I was telling you was not valid. I do not want to worry about a potentially deadly virus every time I leave my house.

But sticking our heads in the sand and pretending that everything is going to be okay somehow is not going to do us any good.

Denial Of GOD can kill you.

A 37-year-old Ohio man named Richard Rose initially thought that all of the fuss about COVID-19 was just “hype,” and he angrily insisted that he would never buy a mask. The following is what he posted on Facebook on April 28…

‘Let make this clear,’ he wrote, in a post that was shared 10,000 times.

‘I’m not buying a * mask. I’ve made it this far by not buying into that damn hype.’

Sadly, he eventually got infected, and COVID-19 killed him on July 3…

Richard Rose, a 37-year-old man from Port Clinton, Ohio, recently died from coronavirus after slamming “hype” about the pandemic on Facebook.

Rose’s family told Cleveland CBS affiliate 19 News the U.S. Army veteran died at home on July 3, just three days after testing positive for COVID-19.

He was a healthy 37-year-old man.

If the virus can take him down, it could potentially take just about anyone down.

So please take this pandemic seriously.

Over the past week, we have seen daily numbers soar to levels that we have never seen before, and some experts believe that the numbers will continue to go higher as we approach the end of the year.

And as I just discussed above, if those that have had the virus quickly lose immunity, there will be nothing to stop this virus from sweeping across the globe year after year.

A lot more scientific studies need to be conducted, and hopefully, those additional studies will show that the studies done in China and Spain were utterly wrong.

But at this point, the outlook for fighting this virus is exceedingly bleak, and scientists assure us that it is just a matter of time before an even worse pandemic comes along.
