The Delta variant's message to anti-vaxxers: It's your funeral
Yahoo ^

Posted on 07/15/2021 8:14:27 AM PDT by MNDude

The Delta variant is here. It's now responsible for the majority of COVID-19 infections in the United States and is driving a rapid rise in cases, not only in red states like Arkansas but in true blue New York City.

But while the Delta variant is much more contagious than either the original strain or the Alpha variant that first appeared in Britain, and has shown greater ability to infect vaccinated individuals, all the vaccines approved for use in the United States have so far proven highly effective in preventing severe disease and death.

So it's understandably maddening that much of the American right has decided this is the time to double down on making opposition to vaccination a central front in our endless culture war.

It's maddening — but it is essential not to take the bait. The fact that vaccines have become a focal point at all should be the final proof that the culture war is a self-sustaining process largely untethered from substantive grievances. Republicans believe that on balance fighting helps them politically, and I suspect they are right. But it's not a war that either side can actually win by fighting, even though individual politicians and media stars can advance their own particular fortunes. For the country as a whole, the only way to win is not to play.

Just a fraction of a year ago. But that doesn’t matter.

I just was reading the Daily Mail (London) whose lead story is something along the lines ‘that 47% of the new cases of the dreaded Delta variant are of people who have received the vaccination”. Hum, seems that kind of info is missing from the scare articles.

On top of this almost no one is going to the hospital or dying as a result of this deadly flu.

Folks, it has been a ‘phyop campaign’ from the start.

The boogie, woogie, BOO! is over.
A rabbit turd in the woods has more credibility than Fauxi and his ilk.
With a 99.9% survival rate, I’ll take my chances with the alpha, beta, gamma, delta, zeta etc..., or whatever these commie azzholes can dream up next, versus their experimental gene therapy any day.

Since when did our gov’t ever care about saving lives?

They are mad-crazy bent on destroying as many as possible - hence their vax push evangelism with a dose of inquisition.

I thought the original COVID was our funeral.

Is anyone in the government and media familiar with the concept of “crying wolf?” I won’t believe a word they say even if they are telling the truth about this or the next ten or twenty or fifty variants (however long they plan to keep this going).

I got my immunity the old fashioned way - I EARNED IT!

Studies have shown that people who had recovered from SARS (sars-cov-1) had T cell immunity from Covid-19, 17 years after recovering.

SARS is 78% identical to Covid-19 and T cells were able to provide immunity, yet we are supposed to believe that variants with 99.7% in common with the original Covid-19 will get by natural immunity created from Covid-19 infections?

I'm not against vaccinations for those who were never infected, but forcing vaccinations on those who have recovered from Covid-19 or are at no risk, such as those under 18, is simply asinine!

Since NYS was mentioned, a link to our dashboard...

https://forward.ny.gov/percentage-positive-results-region-dashboard

Meh.

BTW, for those who hadn’t heard, NYS counts probables and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases. And don’t get me started on the cycle threshold BS.

Our stats are crap.

Will the “Delta COVID Cold” kill everyone like the “COVID Cold” did!!!??? I am so scared that my mangina is literally shaking.

Anyone that believes this leftist agitprop is an idiot who deserves what their enemies plan to do to them.

Uh, sure, I suppose those who are not vaccinated are more likely to get sick from it. But maybe only slightly. Some data out of Israel recently that 42% of all new hospitalized cases of Delta variant are among those vaccinated. Israel used Pfizer mRNA vaccine for most of their population.

J&J recently put out 2 pre-print studies saying their 1-shot vaccine is effective against Delta.

But when Lamda and Kappa and Iota come along... only the shadow knows!
