Fauci warns dangerous Indian COVID variant could become dominant in US

Dr. Anthony Fauci warned Tuesday that the dangerous Indian COVID-19 variant could become the most dominant strain in the US — as the mutation has rapidly spread among younger people in the UK.

The White House chief medical adviser said he feared that the so-called Delta variant, B1.617.2, could overtake the highly contagious UK variant, known as B117, in the country — an alarming prospect we should prevent.

“We cannot let that happen in the United States, which is such a powerful argument … to get vaccinated,” Fauci said Tuesday at the White House COVID-19 task force briefing.

“Fauci warns.”

What else is new?

What?

Has someone invented time travel so we can know the long term results of these so-called vaccines already?

Yeah, that way we can keep reusing them and don’t need to buy Chinese biohazard junk ones.

"Sorry but 10+ years for a new vaccine has been typical until there was a major breakthrough in 2020/2021"

That seems to be the narrative some have spun, but reality is quite different.

Work on the polio vaccine began in the 1930s and it took until 1955 for a viable vaccine to emerge. So ~20 years for that one. It took 9 years for a viable pneumonia vaccine that started in the late 1960s and ended in 1977 with the first successful one. By the 1980s, it was down to 7 years for a Hantavirus vaccine which debuted in 1990. For SARS2003, there was a viable vaccine candidate developed in 1 year 8 months. In 2014, a viable vaccine candidate was developed for Ebola in 7 months. That came down to 6 months for Zika in 2016. COVID-19 took about 2 months.

In other words, this has been a gradual progression. We've gotten better and faster at vaccine development. Most of the work used to be in simply isolating the causal agent and then trying to figure out the best way to present its antigens to the immune system. Those problems are solved. We can now genetically sequence a new pathogen in hours. Within days, we know every protein and how they fold. We can model receptor binding on a supercomputer in hours. And with the mRNA platform, you simply plug in the nucleotide sequence for the desired antigen and out comes your prototype ready for testing.

The Moderna team had their initial prototype finished over a weekend. But that didn't come out of nowhere. It came out of a century of working on this problem and getting better at it incrementally over time. It's just that nobody was watching it until just now so everyone assumes it still takes a decade to produce something new. It doesn't. It hasn't for a long time.

The evidence we have to date is that the vaccines cause minimal disruption in the vast, vast majority of people’s bodies. The disruption with COVID-19 is severe enough that 5% of cases require hospitalization, 3% require admittance to the ICU, and somewhere between 0.65% and 1% of people will not survive infection. And within those who have mild symptoms or no symptoms, there’s plenty of evidence of damage to the heart and lungs.

So you tell me: what’s the long term result of catching a disease that causes scarring in the heart and lung tissue?

Sure mRNA “vaccines” are fast to produce. Bing. Bang. Boom. Testing for what they actually do in the wild wild west of an actual person takes time. You can’t tell what the effects of them in five years will be in 6 months. No computer program model know. Massive beta tests are irresponsible.

My head is spinning. I don’t get it. The Indian variant is supposedly ravaging the UK. But their 7-day moving average of covid deaths is 8 deaths/day. I feel like I’m in the twilight zone.

Keeping up the fear and the virus.
