Right, they've found variants. It seems like you're implying that they are "chicken little" and the variants are some sort of "ploy."
Except that "these people" identified variants that were many times more contagious, and predictably those variants went on to cause the exact problem you'd predict, large sudden spikes in cases, and waves of hospitalizations and deaths all at once.
Don't blame the messenger. In terms of interest to end this, I'd say the anti-mask, anti vaccine folks are the ones with no interest to end this. It's a bad plan to let covid brew strain after strain in unprotected hosts and just see what happens.
