Oh my God, the Delta Variant is going to kill us all!
American Thinker ^ | 1 Aug, 2021 | Jack Gleason

To hear the propaganda media, the new “Delta Variant” of COVID is going to kill every man, woman and child in America – at least by the end of the week.

We should all run to the nearest vax center and roll up our sleeves right away. Our employers are right to be mandating vaccines and those who refuse are just “science deniers” and should be held down and forced to get their shots. Otherwise they’re going to kill us all with their virus. This new variant is more contagious than smallpox, polio and measles combined! Our colleges are right to force returning students to get their shots. Babies should all get their shots the day they’re born. We don’t need their parents’ permission. This is a crisis! Just look at all the new cases, up to 63,608 on July 31, up from 11,363 since July 1st. That’s a 459% increase in just 30 days! If you want to control people, just scare them and tell them what to do, and scaring them about dying from a mysterious disease is definitely the way to go.

The remaining members of the general public aren’t getting their shots like they should. Vaccinations have declined significantly since the peak on April first. These “resisters” need a new push and the “Delta Variant” has arrived just in time to justify new draconian measures from governments, corporate employers and colleges.

There’s only one problem with all the fear mongering and widespread panic: few are dying. In the entire United States, 295 people died from COVID on July 31st despite the fact that 62,735 “new cases” were reported the same day.

The “Delta” variant will do nothing of the kind. Consider this version to be a bad spate of somewhat worse than normal “common cold” and it all moves back into perspective.

Coronavirus variants all respond the same to treatment with Zn++ ion and an effective ionophore. The zinc ion enters the the coronavirus particle, and prevents it from replicating, stopping the propagation and giving the natural immune responses of the body sufficient capability to eliminate the threat.

This whole case number increase is next to meaningless. Where is the data that shows these tests even detect the delta variant? Mass testing under slipshod conditions in places like parking lots and super markets with a test that is questionably accurate and then using the results to whip up panic is folly. The only numbers that should count are confirmed deaths and hospitalizations due to actual COVID infections. We already know that the COVID death numbers have been ginned up to include deaths where COVID was only a tertiary cause or wholly unrelated. In Minnesota a state legislator who is also a medical doctor looked at a sampling of COVID death certificates and found an individual killed in an auto accident was deemed a COVD death.

I hope enough of the American people are sick of the lies, distortions and fear mongering and will rebel against another round of masks mandates and lock downs. Pray God our country does not become the COVID police state we are seeing in Australia.

Occasionally I still see some Karen (male, female, it don't matter -- they're Karen's) driving alone in their car with their windows up and wearing a mask, or walking across the parking lot going into/coming out of a store ... and I just openly laugh when I go by them.

I'm about ready to just start pointing them out, mocking them and openly laughing at them...

Hey, I just had an idea: start up a website where their pictures get posted and openly mocked on the internet. Kinda like the People Of Walmart website. We can call it "The People of the Mask"

The Delta mutation is not going to kill everyone. Neither will Lambda, which has had a worse impact on Peru.

Viruses mutate, and most mutations, the vast majority of mutations, are less dangerous than the previous iteration. The problem is the definition of “vast majority”. It could be 99.99%. Probably even more decimal places.

But there are trillions upon trillions upon trillions of novel Covid virus particles replicating around the world. It’s becoming guaranteed that the .00001% is going to occur. Is that one going to kill everyone?

It is conceivable. Is the obsession with vaccine going to stop that? No.

There are about what, 100 million Americans still not vaccinated? There are probably about five and a half billion people who are not Americans around the world who are not vaccinated and who are generating those replication events that feed into the math above.

#1 How are these novel Covid viruses replicating being as to how they die upon surfaces within minutes and in sunlight?
#2It is definitely NOT conceivable they will kill everyone. I'll stake my life on it.

They had chairs lined up for people to sit in for 15-20 post jab at walmart. That’s in case you end up being allergic and do into anaphylactic shock. Of course I don’t know what the walmart jabber can do for you then aside from call an ambulance. You can die pretty quick from anaphylaxis. I doubt the jabber has an epipen handy.

I never saw anyone in the vax area at our walmart. Trusting them with eye examinations and glasses prescriptions and having a pharmacist seems to be the limit to trusting walmart in the medical field.

295 ÷ 62,735 is 0.0047

It is 99.9953 % survivable.

100% facepalm. The first line is right. Then you messed up the percentage conversion. 0.0047 = 0.47%. The survival rate of those who were sick enough to get tested is 99.53%.

The unsurprising thing is that the delta variant is what was predicted early on: viruses naturally tend to become better at spreading but less deadly. Delta spreads more easily (beyond the cold to the chickenpox level of spread) but we are warned that more people will be spreading it either asymptomatically or with minor cold symptoms like sniffles.

It turns out that even those death stats were ramped up. Florida only reports its stats once a week, and I am sure there are other states that do likewise. So it’s essentially the Friday data dump, not that these people all died then.

Be that as it may, it’s still a very small number. I hope the hysteria machine is making itself look ridiculous.

but pay special attention to bit about the 15 to 30 minutes you have to stick around after vaccination for "observation".

Anyone ever have to do that for a vaccination?

Yes. Every flu vaccination. Every steroid shot for an allergy. The only shots I haven't heard that is for local anesthetics, but usually they take longer than the 15 minutes for the initial numbness and the treatment so you are being watched for that time.

Most of the time I blow it off and leave right away, but I was told to sit in the waiting room in sight of the reception window during that time.

“I have read that 73% of the Delta cases are in fully vaxed people. So why the rush to get the vax?”

That statistic is at least true among partying homosexuals with deficient immune systems.

Best estimate of virion total present in a human at peak infection is 10^9 - 10^11 virions in an adult. From a Nov 2020 study out of Univ of Cal.

Midrange would be thus, 10 billion virions (virus particles) per infected adult.

There have been 200 million cases worldwide. Some not adult, many recovered, but there have been 200 million opportunities for 10 billion virions to replicate.

2^16 virions replicating. Trillions upon trillions upon trillions.

Now you know why the new CDC director was crying in her press conference that day.

The chicomms will hit us with the zeta variant just in time for the Dems to steal the congressional 2022 election.

Any answers yet?(/sarc).

When was the “Delta” variant test developed?
What makes it a variant?

Silence.

Yes, she's paid to. She's been indoctrinated the same as you. Ever hear of the Hong Kong influenza? It was deadly. It burned out as herd immunity overcame it. The same as all of the other influenzas.

I haven’t seen our usual pro-vax suspects weigh in yet.

Well, there has to be physical meaning to “burn out”.

Smallpox didn’t burn out. Neither did polio. And those were natural pathogens, not artificially designed.

Trillions upon trillions of opportunity for Captain Tripps.
