Debunking the scaremongering over the ‘delta variant’ of COVID
American Thinker ^ | 27 Jun, 2021 | Thomas Lifson

Lots of powerful people want you to stay scared about COVID, even as the toll in terms of death and hospitalization continues to plummet. It's easily proven to be bunk.

Lots of powerful people want you to stay scared about COVID, even as the toll in terms of death and hospitalization continues to plummet in the United States and other advanced countries. Because viruses naturally evolve rapidly, they have a new variant, at first called “The Indian variant” because it was first spotted there. But it has now been renamed the “delta variant,” perhaps to be able to continue to maintain that calling COVID “the Chinese virus,” or “the Wuhan flu,” is racist. The normal practice of naming new diseases after the place they were first identified (German measles, Hong Kong flu, Lyme disease) had to be suspended to protect China’s interests (as the W.H.O. so assiduously does) and to demonize Donald Trump as a racist.

The response of the scaremongers to the delta variant has predictably been to try to scare people and use their fright as a bludgeon to continue, expand, or restore limitations on their freedoms such as lockdowns, mask wearing, and restrictions on public gatherings.

Last Friday, for instance:

The World Health Organization on Friday urged fully vaccinated people to continue to wear masks, social distance and practice other Covid-19 pandemic safety measures as the highly contagious delta variant spreads rapidly across the globe.

“People cannot feel safe just because they had the two doses. They still need to protect themselves,” Dr. Mariangela Simao, WHO assistant director-general for access to medicines and health products, said during a news briefing from the agency’s Geneva headquarters.

And since when has a mutation been worse than the original?

You mean we can’t call it the Slit-Eyed Super Chinese Yellow-Deviled Chop Suey Virus?

Stop asking questions. You're supposed to stay afraid.

Why do they want to scare us? Because we can still oppose their plan

To some extent everything is a mutation. The bacteria y pestis did not occur on Earth as a separate entity. It came from some other bacteria that had some change occur to it. And Y pestis for those who don’t know is the bacteria that causes bubonic plague and wiped out about half the population of the Earth. It would have been far more than that if it had reached Latin America.

So yes, mutations can be worse than the original.

There are many suspicious things about the covid virus. I think we all know that it very likely is an artificial virus created by the Chinese. Because it is artificial, it makes no sense to expect natural immunity to have power over it. It was designed to resist such things. It was also designed to mutate and dodge vaccines.

The only real question about its design is whether or not the Chinese discovered some difference in lung cells for Asians versus other nationalities or races. And designed accordingly. The deaths per million in Asian countries is a tiny fraction of the deaths per million elsewhere in the world caused by the virus. This is very suspicious.

It must be repeated that the term ‘Herd Immunity’ means exactly what it says - the herd becomes immune. Virus illnesses can only continue if infected individuals pass the virus along to someone else while they are contagious. If, on average, each infected person passes the disease on to more than one recipient, the disease will grow swiftly.

If, on average, each infected person passes the disease on to LESS than one recipient, the disease will eventually die away forever. At some point, the last infected person will not come in contact with anyone who is capable of getting the disease, and the virus will be gone forever. That happened with Smallpox.

It does a virus absolutely no good to kill its host. If the virus’ host dies, it dies. A deadly virus which attacks through the digestive system has little means of mutating to decrease its lethality, but a deadly virus which attacks through the pulmonary system is ripe for weakening.

Exactly.

Dr Lee Merritt - a Naval surgeon and private practice doc - explained and warned us, last year, about these ‘variants’, and what TPTB would try to do, to push fear with these nothing burgers.

She’s been pretty much spot on with her analysis and warnings, so far. Yet, she’s often smeared as a kook, by those that are pushing these shots.

The delta mutation does have a documented ability to break through the Mrna vaccines. My spouse is a teacher two of her students are quarantined and the whole classroom is as well. Due to one of those students parents being not only positive for covid 19 delta V but also symptomatic. The other spouse tested negative the children get their results tomorrow. Both parents had both doses of the Mrna vaccines and are weeks past the 14 day minimum from the second doses. Now we all have to be tested before returning to the school or contact with any children. The delta variant is nasty it has a much higher RT0 number and as is evident in this case the ability to infect and also sicken a fully vaccinated person. Who is not old or immune compromised the sick parent is a woman in her mid thirties in good physical condition.

Is this a case similar to the original virus where one of a couple would get sick and the other wouldn’t?

In the current case, I wonder what the difference is in the person who tested negative; do they take medicines or supplements, what is their blood type, etc?
