Doctor Mike Hansen - BA.4 and BA.5 COVID Variant now DOMINANT - The 'worst variant' is here -

Right now COVID is running rampant again, and it’s the BA.4 and BA.5 variant, the subvariants of omicron, that is now the dominant strain (BA.5 that is).
This is because BA.5.has 3 key mutations in its spike protein that make it better at infecting our cells, and better at evading our immune system. BA.5 is the most transmissible, the most contagious version of covid to date. And oh yeah, it has properties of the delta variant, specifically it’s higher propensity to get down into your lungs, and that’s why some are calling this, the real DELTACRON.
Just when you think COVID is over, and you think all is well, because you’ve either been vaccinated, or you had previous covid infection, or both…well guess what?!
It only took 2 months for BA.5 to become the dominant strain in the United States, and tons of people are getting sick right now. Chances are you know someone who’s been sick with BA.4 or BA.5.
More and more people are diagnosing themselves with at home rapid tests, which means a higher percentage of cases are not being reported. So its becoming harder and harder to know the actual number of cases.
Right now, the number is 110,000 new covid infections per day - but of course we know that the true disease burden is way higher than that.
It’s estimated to be that for every reported case, there are 8-10 cases that are unreported. Which means an estimated 1 million new cases of covid every day.
BA.4 and BA.5 don’t really care about your previous infections or vaccinations. Because they do a great job of escaping those antibodies.
That’s certainly what happened with me, and a lot of people I know personally.
I came down with covid in early June, most likely BA.4 or BA.5.
I developed symptoms about 2-3 days after going out to a concert. Fatigue. Fever. Congested. Cough. And oddly enough, a very sore throat.
Most of those symptoms started to fade after 4 days. But the fatigue and cough took a solid 2 weeks to improve. And even then, I still had some leftover crap that I was coughing out of my lungs.
Thankfully I was never short of breath…and I didn’t need any medications….but it was NOT a fun experience….despite it being considered only “mild” covid illness. Because moderate or severe illness would have meant a trip to the hospital.
So here you have someone who was triple vaxxed, otherwise in great health, who was sick for 2 weeks.
But here is the thing. I personally know a lot of people who are having very similar experiences with this new BA.5 variant. Including this nasty sore throat, which really wasn’t a thing with previous variants. Definitely one of the worst sore throats I’ve ever had.
But if I’m triple vaxxed, and otherwise very healthy..I mean, I exercise, I eat very clean, I rarely eat processed food, been getting good sleep…
I thought that if I got covid, especially with omicron or its subvariants, that it would be nothing more than a mild cold that lasted a few days.
So what gives?
It’s mainly 2 things.
For one, even though I received 3 shots, my last one was 8 months before getting COVID…and we know that immunity generally wanes after 5 months from the vaccines. Two, we know that BA.4 and BA.5 are better at evading those antibodies.
In fact, they’re escaping antibodies from those who’ve had previous covid infections, including omicron.
That’s right if you had omicron infection this spring, there is still a real possibility that you can get sick from BA.4 and BA..5. Although it’s still too early to know just how sick people can get from these variants.
What we do know is that right now the percentage of patients requiring the intensive care unit has increased 23% over the last two weeks. Is it because there are more infections, or is it also because BA.4 and BA.5 causes more severe illness? To early to tell right now.
But the bottom line is, this variant doesn’t really care about your previous antibodies to covid. You can still get sick from this virus. So in that sense, it doesn’t matter if you’ve had covid before, or if you’ve been vaccinated, especially if it’s been more than 5 months from your last shot.
The vaccines are great at protecting against severe covid, but not so much when it comes to mild COVID.

It’s not worth it.

[@oldgrendel]

They’re helpful for what they’re designed for. Basically all the deaths from delta were unvaccinated folks, so it helped dramatically there. These new variants may be more contagious and milder, so getting vaccinated for these strains may not be as much of an emergency as delta or alpha were. So if a new massively deadly strain comes around, targeted vaccines will be a good idea. It’s all context.

I’m in my late 60s with T2 diabetes. I had the first two vaccinations but no boosters yet. I contracted covid early in July. After being diligent about wearing a mask and using sanitizer these past 2 1/2 years, I slacked off. It started like a head cold but quickly moved into my lungs and the sore throat started. On about the fourth day, I got a touch of pneumonia. I also received an infusion of monoclonal antibodies on the 4th day. Besides the lung congestion, I had one of the worst sore throats I’ve ever had. After about 9-10 days I was feeling much better but still had some congestion. That is pretty much gone now but my sense of smell and taste is off a bit. I’m also a bit fatigued.

My sons dad ( 56) had this variant recently. 4 days of fever and sore throat. He’s 56 and unvaccinated with a compromised immune system and chronic asthma. He required no medical intervention and made a full recovery. I had the omicron variant last December ( 2 weeks of exhaustion but otherwise no symptoms) and haven’t caught this latest variant ( to my knowledge) despite being in close contact with several people who have tested positive for it. I haven’t had any vaccinations. Could it just be that some people’s immune systems are better at fighting this despite vaccination status? The only people I know personally who’ve got really sick from covid have been fully vaccinated . Purely anecdotal I know, but I haven’t seen a pattern of more severe illness amongst my unvaccinated family and friends, if anything it’s been the opposite.

I am a nurse who refused the vaccine and had to submit a religious exemption to stay employed. Last January, we had an outbreak of omicron at my dementia unit where 20 of our residents contracted it. All of the residents were boosted in December. I finally caught it despite wearing N95 respirators as did several of my coworkers, vaccinated and not vaccinated. All I got was a fever, headache, and diarrhea. After three days, my symptoms were gone. I was back to work after 5 days, taking care of the covid positive residents. I stopped testing positive on rapid tests after 12 days. The person who brought in omicron was a restorative therapy CNA who had also recieved their booster dose in December. She did a 20 minute therapy session with who would become the first resident to test positive during this outbreak on Thursday, December 30th. She didn't feel well on Friday, test negative on a rapid test, and a PCR test was submitted. The results came back late Sunday that she was positive, and she became more symptomatic over the weekend. This resident she unknowingly exposed tested positive Sunday night. Jan 2nd. I took care of this resident on 3rd shift Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday night. My before and after shift rapid tests were negative Sunday night, Monday morning, Monday night, Tuesday morning, and Tuesday night. My PCR test from Monday morning was negative. Wednesday morning, my rapid test was positive, a 2nd one was again positive, and PCR I did after those two test came back positive two days later.

I tested positive for Covid-19 on July 15th, and compared to the first battle with the virus which was in December of 2019, this variant is much different. The first variant I contacted hit me like a hammer, sore throat, fever, fatigue, cough, running nose, stiffness in the back of neck, lost sense of smell and taste and headaches all at once. I was in bed for four days with no appetite whatsoever. I returned to work after a week and a half but it took me about another month to fully recover. Keep in mind, this was before Covid-19 pandemic was officially named. This present variant is quite different. I have been vaccinated but not boosted. I had all of the previous symptoms albeit milder, but the symptoms are lingering much longer this time, and coming in stages. As of August 1st, I'm still testing positive and still have symptoms. I believe this virus will keep mutating and keep changing and will be with us for years to come. I truly believe that we have to treat Covid-19 like a marathon race and not a sprint.

I live in Massachusetts where they just stopped reporting cases on weekdays in favor of reporting weekly. Right as we're going into the next wave of covid-19 in the last week our hospitalizations have gone up somewhere between 5 and 8% depending on what metric you use and the first day of reporting in this new schedule they reported 7,000 new cases on 94,000 tests. Last winter we were performing around 120,000 tests per day but we have pretty much given up and no one is wearing a mask but me. I am the last Carpenter that I know of who wears a mask at work all day everyday if I plan on having a sip of coffee I go to my truck if I'm going to drink a water I step outside and away from the airflow of the building full of maskless contractors and drink my water. I eat my lunch in my truck and I use hand sanitizer before I touch my face. There is no one else who still does this in my periphery. I hope everyone stays safe and I hope each wave of covid becomes less deadly but I doubt that will be the case

@Media Content ~ My sincere condolences for the loss of your parents. You didn’t mention your Country, but can you possibly go to Urgent Care for your current issue? Your untreated (worse) issues need a Doc who will get your history, labs, etc. In the U.S. you need a primary doctor to refer you to a specialist if one or more are needed. If you live elsewhere, you may be able to see a specialist right away. When you call for appointments, mention your symptoms for your worse issues and ask for the soonest available and/or ask if you can be on a cancellation list. If someone last minute cancels their appointment, they would call you to see if you can come in. Otherwise, I’m not certain to whom you want to discuss your concerns. Do be assertive about saying what your issues are, how long you’ve had them, and politely but firmly insist you need to be seen the sooner the better. Good luck!

Unvaccinated, recovered after a few days. It was milder than normal colds I used to get. Lol please continue taking the safe and effective. I say, "used to get," because in the past 3 years I've only been sick once. It's so funny seeing vaccinated people getting sick multiple times in 1 year.

On my trip to Chicago recentlyI caught the ba.5 variant and everything you said to describe the symptoms was right on Dr. Hansen. I was miserable all week and I'm just getting over it now and I feel fatigue as you said. Thank you for explaining things so well.

[@xochitlcuevas96]

I have never been vaccinated and I got Covid for the first time about two weeks ago. I had fever, chills,body aches and nausea. My symptoms lasted for 3 days and then I was fine. I’ll be honest I’m not the healthiest person but I think the reason I didn’t suffer from Covid as much as others is because I took Ivermectin and other supplements that Dr. Zelenko advised. May you rest in peace Dr. Zelenko you saved so many lives from Covid. God bless💕

Thank you, Dr. Hansen. The Exact situation happened to me but only after 5 months of my 3rd Vaccination. I was so ill for 2 weeks and I am still recovering from the BA.5 Infection. I have never been this sick in my entire life. It was Horrible ! I was too, under the impression that COVID was gone, I lower my guard and went to a Baseball game and was inside with thousands of people with no mask. BIG MISTAKE !!! 😐🤒😕

[@mygirldarby]

I don't understand why people think the pandemic is "over." It's very strange.

[@csackles]

I got COVID after two shots, and staying home unless I absolutely had to go out. Even was having my grocers delivered. I was so sick for two weeks before I could even try to take a bath. By all rights I should have gone to the hospital but I was so fatigued I just didn’t have the energy. To this day I am still on albuterol and Fluticasone inhalers. Still major fatigued. Body still aches all over. I have fallen twice with no warning which caused soft tissue injuries. And the brain fog is so frustrating I can’t even explain it. One other symptom I don’t hear a lot is I lost my voice. I cannot speak without losing my voice. This has been going on since March 3rd 2022! There have been a couple of times I was able to speak normal for 2 days so I know it’s possible but when I start to get excited that maybe this nightmare is over, it goes again and it’s weeks before I can have a lengthy conversation without my voice giving out. Also though if I try to keep speaking, I get pressure in my head and that results into migraine. I don’t know what Covid strain I had but I surely thought I was not going to make it either. Thankfully we are both here to talk about it!

[@leudwigvonshwartsenhelm3624]

I was triple vaxed, one month after receiving my booster I caught covid in February I presume it was the omacron variant. I'm 43 years old I was pretty sick for about 4 days and then on the 5th day I felt much much much better. I wore a mask everywhere I went I don't think the mask helped me at all and I question whether or not the booster shot did anything at all......

[@greglarson6293]

You can’t question it. Liberals will cancel you for daring to think for yourself.

[@webcomment8895]

The video said the vaccines won’t prevent you from getting the new variants, but it likely still reduced the symptoms if you got over it in less than a week and didn’t have severe illness. “A mask” is super vague. It has to be a good quality mask that fits well and could have also taken it off at some point when you were around an infected person who may not have had any symptoms noticeable to you. So, maybe the mask you wore didn’t help you or maybe it did a little and you would have caught it faster or more often without the mask if you kept exposing yourself to infected people.

I caught this variant 10 days ago. Tested positive at my physicians office. I am not vaccinated and 3 of my dear friends who were vaccinated also came down with the same variant. I managed much better than my vaccinated friends and this is my second time with C19. My symptoms were much less and my recovery time was quicker. Good luck with your vaccines.

[@pegacorn13]

This is an ignorant comment. Perhaps you should be grateful that your vaccinated friends haven't died from previous strains because they were vaccinated. We're in this mess because Covid was allowed to mutate due to people refusing to vaccinate themselves and take basic safety precautions. Having Covid twice is not good for you or anyone else. Did you watch the video?

Lovely sounds like they did a little reengineering, just can't believe it's mutated this many times on its own. Seems the flue only mutates once a year or so.

Yeah the flu can be nasty. Covid can be as small as a runny nose. But don't underestimate it. If you were sick for only 3 days consider yourself lucky, it could have been much worse.

[@michaelmelter2271]

Everyone is so different. I had my primary set of Moderna's vaccine. I had a weird reaction after the second dose so I never got any of my boosters and I don't intend to do so either. On 7/6/2022, I started to get chills and had a fever for a day. I had no other symptoms and felt fine by the next evening and was planning on going to work thinking it wasn't COVID, but my brother-in-law was also sick and tested positive for COVID and we were with him on the Fourth. I tested and sure enough, I had COVID. Felt fine for the remainder of the four days I had to quarantine from work. My wife tested positive the next day and had a couple bouts of diarrhea but no other symptoms. My kids seemed fine the entire time. This reinforces my decision to not want a booster. It affects everyone so differently.

[@roses8631]

I’m 61, had COVID on New Year’s Eve . I had chills, body aches, horrible headache for about 36 hours but the fatigue came on and off for about a week. I’m not vaccinated at all. I just tested positive again 3 days ago. This time it’s even lighter. I just body aches and a headache just for about 24 hours, milder than last time, Totally back to normal in 2 days, no fatigue, no lingering headaches, much milder than flu or cold. I think I’m better off unvaccinated. Two of my co-workers had it , they were much younger, triple vaccinated but were much sicker.

[@kayakutah]

I'm 70 and live in Utah. Back on about May 5 or so, we had very strong winds that kicked up a LOT of dust and my wife and I were having particularly bad (we thought) allergy attacks. Turns out it was COVID (based on each of us getting double positive on the antigen tests on May 6 and 7). That was pretty much it, though. I reported it to my doctor and after about 3 days the only symptom for either of us was a non-productive cough for about 2 weeks. I even started mountain biking while I still had the cough (it was mild). I suppose it was the variant before BA 4 or 5, but who knows? 2 vaccines and a booster for me with the booster in November (6 months prior) and 2 for my wife, no booster in March 2021, so 14 months ago for her. I have a friend whose athletic output was impacted for 3 months, though; she was also double vaxxed/boosted. It's the new norm, I guess.
