LONDON, England (LifeSiteNews) – The United Kingdom’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) has advised the British government that a deadly new variant of the novel coronavirus, which they say could thwart the immunization gained from the experimental COVID-19 vaccines and be able to kill one in three people, is a “realistic possibility.”
A document drawn up by SAGE on July 31 examining the “long term evolution of SARS-CoV-2” purports to “describe hypothetical scenarios by which SARS-CoV-2 could further evolve and acquire, through mutation, phenotypes [variants] of concern, which we assess according to possibility.”
The first possible scenario suggested by the group was of the development of a viral strain which is vastly more lethal than the Delta variant currently being transmitted in the U.K. and thought to be responsible for 99 percent of COVID-19 infections.
By a process known as recombination, the Delta variant, the group explains, could cross with the Beta variant, for example, and give rise to a new strain with characteristics of both viral variations. This led SAGE to predict the possibility of coronaviruses with mortality rates in line with SARS-CoV, at around 10
