Though the Public Health Agency of Canada said last week it’s 'too early' to tell if the Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 is spreading in Canada beyond scattered cases cropping up— there’s still cause for concern and the public should be prepared by engaging in health measures, infectious disease experts say.

Though the Public Health Agency of Canada said last week it’s “too early” to tell if the Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 is spreading in Canada beyond scattered cases cropping up— there’s still cause for concern and the public should be prepared by engaging in health measures, infectious disease experts say.

But now, XBB is the dominant variant in the U.S. and officials with the World Health Organization said at a press conference on Jan. 4 that this version of the COVID-19 virus is the most transmissible detected so far. And though there’s no evidence so far that the variant causes more severe illnesses, it’s clear XBB is easily transmissible and possibly more immune-evasive, said Dr. Lisa Barrett, an assistant professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology and in the Faculty of Medicine at Dalhousie University.

“COVID is a bit of a master class for the general population, unfortunately, in how viruses evolve,” she said, adding COVID-19 has been given the chance to mutate due to a high abundance of cases.

Argh, 🏴‍☠️ The kraken has arrived.

CTV promoting people to kill themselves with an injection that’s proving to be very risky and damaging to take.

I’d rather get the kraken than whatever happened to your reporter yesterday that you, without a doubt, will cover up and lie about…

When all else fails …you RELEASE the KRA……

At this point it's clear you're paid to push a gene therapy that does more harm than good. This is absolutely disgusting.

The fear media needed a scarier name. Great marketing!

July 2023: New Kraken Bivalent Booster Shots Available, 18% Effective, Everyone Needs One - Experts

How long are you liberal media goons gonna ignore the truth?

Beware of killer vaccines and boosters StoptheShotsNow WEFisEvil StopTheWEFNow

Thank the tinfoil hat wearing antivaxxers for the mutations!!

When will you cease to exist? Running out of government money yet?

It’s not covid… it’s the vaccines killing us… sport players dropping on tv and news anchors… CTV propaganda machine…

Oh enough already, haven't you put the public through enough 🙄 😒

Kraken 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Vaccine equity? What are you on about? You are horrible people.

if there was only a jimmyfallon propaganda song to go with it, I might care...

you basically killed one of your reporters with the vaccine

I am prepared to donate all my future rations

2020: 'the covid is bad and we need a vaccine' 2021: '' 2022: '' 2023: 'the covid is bad and we need a vaccine' The covid never got better, everyone was lying and blaming everything but covid for everything covid caused because they caused the covid.

New catch phrase “Vaccine equity”

Only way to get Covid is trusting that PCR Test I do not trust any medical idea funded by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

How long you guys going to avoid a discussion on the elephant in the room

Wtf is vaccine equity? Pfizer stocks?

A term I have not heard before: vaccine equity. Not sure what it means.

Caused by transphopbia no doubt...

Kraken coming. Save yourself. Get vaccinated with vaccine that doesn't work. Aaaaaaaahhhhhh. KRAKEN coming. CTV will save you

All I have to say is...

Experts 🤦

'Release the Kraken!', They say. Is the next variant going to be called 'Aragog'? jk_rowling HarryPotter COVID19

TOTAL BULL💩 : Experts say .

Made in America... 🇺🇸

CTV News is full of 💩 .

Chase your vaccine high.

As do all viruses. The vaccine will run after the virus and its hit and miss similar to the flu vaccine. Sometimes it’s best to leave it so it weakens faster

Piss off!

oh no the crackhead variant - more transmissible yet weaker still. how predictable.

Not one of their treatments yet has targeted a current variant. Nor will the next one. Keep taking em though if you love spicey sidewalk naps

Wuhan virus

Stop spreading this shit. Seriously - when will mainstream news get a “Pair” and stop spreading fear and false information. The vax did not change a damn thing. Investigate THAT - then you can call your self “the news” because THEN you will be honestly informing the people

Kraken. Ooooo, Scary

At this point I don’t care. If it’s my time, it’s my time. Enough of this Covid shit! I’m vaxxed four times. I’ve done all I can do to be safe. It’s like AIDS, it’s here to stay.

Aren't you tired of doing this to the people?

I seem to remember this discussion about 'vaccine equity' a couple years ago. Then our racist, greedy, colonizer P.M. hoarded all the vaccines, coerced Canadians into taking the useless junk and ended up throwing s**t loads of it out. You should ask Trudeau what happened.

Did the vax do anything for your reporter? Yes...yes it did, not covid related though.

Not one of their treatments yet has tatgeted a current variant. Nor will the next one. Keep taking em though if you love spicey sidewalk naps

Vaccine BAN needed.

Shove those vaccines up your ass. No more!

How about you get Kraken on reporting on the Liberal party ethics violations? It will be a full time job for you

Are u on Kraken?!🤬

No one cares over it long ago 🙄

The variants are coming from the shots FFS. StoptheShots

The clot shots are causing the subvariants.

Release the Kraken of bullshit🤣🤣🤣

Vaccine equity…..

you realize there is nothing that will stop the tsunami of truth that is coming.. you ALL will be held accountable too. Suppression of the truth and promotion of government propaganda leading to the death/murder of thousands of Canadians. Nuremberg2 is coming.

The world has tons of extra vaccine doses, just no one wants them or corrupt governments want everyone else pay for them.

The vaccines are the virus variants. There, fixed it for you.

More vaccines cause more infections it seems. Will there be any investigative reporting on this?

Yep..... no one's getting the boosters.... WEF .....

They don't mention that all Corona viruses mutate all the time, every time , it's the reason there's never been a vaccine for one, anyone , ever

Enough with the vaccines! They don’t work!!!

Kraken? Or Jab? I'm scared

it is time to get Kraken on reporting vaccine injuries

This state run tv will always advocate for the fear mongering Gov and big pharma

🤣 what shot number will this be?

Only 20%(5 and older) in Canada have taken a booster. That should be your headline, people are done with this BS.

It’s pushed by the leaky vaccine and the zoonotic nature of the virus. Remember? As forecast by many scientist who were then censured?

Vaccine Equity. Why? The vaccine does not prevent the spread or contraction. The mass rollout led to the variants and compromised immunity, and it comes with serious side effects that are being ignored. suddenlycollapsing suddenlydying

VACCINES ARE FILLED WITH MUTATED VIRUSES IN YOUR FLUSHOTS MassVACCINES cause MassSICKNESSES DONT YOU GET IT YET. The MutatedViruses are in the💉🦠💰STOP THIS SICKCARE Children and the ELDERLY are GuineaPigs criminal WHO’se really spreading Viruses EU CDC FDA

TrudeauMustGo ‘Kraken’ Who believes these names are selected without an agenda. Fearmongering to get the juice into arms. Suffer the children. Even Liberals must be clipping coupons for tin foil at this point.

You mean your go-to' expert'?

The powers that be are becoming more bold with their humour. Naming it after a mythical fake monster that only existed in fairytales. Are they dropping a hint? or did they screw-up? Either way, what an ironic and fitting name!! Kraken...

Virus evolves from vaccination altering it

No one cares. Your experts are useless.

Take care of all😷😷

The Flu virus keeps mutating. The Flu can kill people too. Where’s the “Sky is falling” narrative from the media

LIES, LIES, LIES! It is utterly unbelievable that absolutely anyone on this earth continues to believe this COVID nonsense! LIES! The bought and paid-for Mainstream Media just continuing to pass-on whatever LIE they are told to relay to the masses! Stop falling for it, folks!

Experts for the ctv say 🤣 get kraken and get jabbed

'Vaccine equity' means forcing the shit on people who don't want it.

And today on the truly pathetic state sponsored media

You think poc don’t have vaccines because they weren’t available? They don’t trust the gov even more than we don’t. Tuskegee ring a bell? Among many other experiments. Vaccine equity 😂😂😂😂

Soooo it’s a virus and like the flu constantly changes

So ... the first 5 didn't work?

Are we seriously still doing this?

vaccine equity. can we keep woke crap out of this. deal with the virus and vaccine

You see, they tested this whole psychological experiment on the peasants & couldn’t believe just how easily the people could be manipulated into injecting themselves with poison & go against all human rights, that they laughed & said, let’s see how far we can take this.

great. Lets call all the new variants the characters from Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

The 'Kraken' subvariant sounds like it originated from science lol.

'Public Health Agency of Canada said last week it’s “too early” to tell if the Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5 is spreading in Canada beyond scattered cases' Really? Care to explain the fear mongering over it then CTV?

fringe_cunuk No!

For the love of God…they need to stop 🛑 with this shi

Get lost

Just stop the fear porn propaganda

LOL Hmm a new variant with no adult cold/flu medication while vaccine/booster shots are at a record low. Seems planned. Guess what happens next?

“Experts”. Zero cred. Go away.

They can have mine..

Your experts are full of 💩 .

Fear mongering

But hey, keep trying!😂😂😂.

🖕🖕🖕

You're experts are 100% useless shills The only Kraken you need in your life Pair's well with pepsi CocaCola and eggnog Daily dose keeps you safe from CTV experts who want you 💉 more even though the more you boost the more suseptable to infection you are Stay safe 🍻

' if you don't have your booster for the boosters booster, you are a horrible person and we should not sit beside you or even tolerate you'

You should do some journalisming and ask why vaccinated people may be in trouble with these new variants you’re scaring us with. Yes, I know journalisming isn’t a word. 😏

'kraken' is a very scary sounding word. We should fear this and take this very, very seriously.

Ah yes when experts are so stupid lol ya know since the vaccine causes the mutations! It's basic science!

NO THANKS.

Anyone with 1st year biology knows and knew that the Covid would mutate (Media would call it evolve). We just need scarier and scarier names to keep the media busy trying to freak everyone out.

Yes like all 'banned' virologists have said for 3 years, it will weaken into a flu, and have different variants every season. Main stream news, always 2 years behind in news.....

Yet Africa who has the lowest vaccine rate in the world, has the best covid recovery, more immunity, and less severe covid. When will start reporting on this? It’s mighty clear that is being paid to help kill people through the vaccine push. Even after data out.

Oh yeah. Keep the doses coming!!! I need more shots!

Intracellular Reverse Transcription of Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 In Vitro in Human Liver Cell Line.

Keep calm, keep dosing. 😂😂😂

In the name of equity, they can have mine…. All 5 or 6…. Or is it 7 now
