The Delta variant is 40% more transmissible, the health secretary says, adding that protection against it is just as good with two doses of a vaccine

Matt Hancock says the variant, first identified in India, makes life more challenging, and the government is "open" to delaying England's 21 June unlocking if needed

Asked if measures such as face coverings and working from home could continue in the long term, he says he "wouldn't rule that out"

Our overseers want to keep this pandemic show going for as long as possible. Why? Power and money. Control over the peons and uncountable billions in vaccine profits.

It is our fault, not China’s... this is what the police state fudds of health care support in saying, not seeing the forest for the democrat communist tree.

Speaking of vaccines...

Brits to get different third 'booster' vaccine as 'mix and match' could beat variants Officials plan to give people different jabs to maximise protection, according to a leaked memo. And by the time the booster programme begins this autumn, two new jabs should be ready for use

It pretty much over in Florida. Two weeks ago going into Publix would result in seeing one or two people without masks. Yesterday,, I saw two people with masks and it was crowded on Saturday afternoon. It was also my first time going in without a mask. Liberating. Lol.

We have already accepted a flu shot every year.

Now we can expect a Wuhan shot at least once a year: money.

Masks and passports: Power.

It’s both China and the globalist Western Deep State here in the US and elsewhere.

Yep, that and I have been saying for years that funding non profits with federal dollars was a violation of political free speech, but we render unto Ceasar what is God’s in the British Roman church like way. Fighting 1776 for this betrayal...

40% more transmissible

more transmissible than what?
the original Wuhan virus?
the more transmissible Italian variant?
the more transmissible Brazilian variant?
the more transmissible South African variant?
the average of all the previous variants put together?

It's plain they simply make these numbers up
Because science

Than the "original" strain? The WuFlu?

Ivermectin and HCQ are viable defenses. They work with the immune system to combat the virus. The spike proteins in the mRNA injections have unfortunate consequences. The adverse reactions are under reported. The next few years will reveal the truth.

The secret is in the flavor crystals.

Went to a Home Depot in Danbury, CT this morning to get some wood screws. Almost every Home Depot employee was maskless. However, the majority of the customers still submissively donned their useless face diapers.

Shaking my head. Even in the supermarket, many of the workers are going maskless but most of the customers are still wearing them and I do get a "dirty look" every now and then from the sheep. But since the mask mandate was lifted here May 19, nobody has ever confronted me about it.

This is Connecticut after all. I'm convinced that people here are afraid of taking them off, lest they be confused with one of those radical freedom loving conservative patriots.

Now you can choose your own flavor and the scent you will exhale while shedding spike proteins 😊
