The highly-contagious Omicron subvariant XBB has surged to more than 50% of COVID-19 cases in the northeastern United States and risks spreading fast as millions of Americans begin holiday travel on Friday.

In the week ended December 24, XBB was estimated to account for 18.3% of the COVID-19 cases in the United States, up from 11.2% in the previous week, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday .

The American Automobile Association had estimated that 112.7 million people planned to travel 50 miles or more from home between Friday and Jan. 2, up 3.6 million travelers over last year and closing in on pre-pandemic numbers. Still, Pekosz said he does not see the XBB subvariant driving the kind of massive surges seen last winter from the original Omicron variant.

The viroligists warned in the beginning not vaccinate people as herd immunity was needed, but there was an agenda and media used the script to try and bring fear to brainwash the world. Now the negative effecs of the untested jabs are killing plus 5G. Wake up- satanic agenda.
