What are your thoughts on the Delta variant and the media hoopla surrounding it? Any concerns? Or is current vaccine regimen adequate defense?
Brady Bunch meme... “Delta, Delta, Delta!” 40 or 60% more transmissable, tearing up the UK, but falling in India.
Doesn’t seem to be more harmful. Lots of US vaxxed -which work good- and previously infected- which also works good.
The media is awful on anything to do with covid.
I don’t believe that many people are vaccinated.
If I had to guess, then it’s more like 32%.
Guess we can all ways do polls?
RE: My comment on good protection ( though this may be too old to reflect on Delta variant)...
https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/new-data-suggests-low-risk-of-covid-19-reinfection-in-population-uk-body-2468245
“The current data shows that there is a low risk of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2. There were 15,893 possible reinfections with SARS-CoV-2 identified up to May 30, 2021 in England throughout the pandemic, out of nearly four million people with confirmed infections. This is equivalent to around 0.4 per cent cases becoming reinfected....”
Infection ≠ hospitalization.
Spin the PCR enough times and even your coke glass can indicate “infected”.
Delta, Foxtrot, all a part of the fear campaign to get more poison into arms. How about the Jab Variants? No one is saying anything about people just keeling over after the lethal injections.
Delta (Indian) variant is a bigger problem for the UK and Canada, because it can pretty strongly breakthrough a single shot of AstraZeneca (as most of the vaccinated in the UK are - almost half their population).
One shot of AZ may be as little as 35% effective against that faster spreading variant.
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines seem significantly more effective against that variant, and we have a much smaller percentage of our population with only a single shot (less that 10%).
Although more transmissible, Delta is not more deadly.
Our risk in the USA, is for it to muster a few relatively rapid flare ups in unvaccinated populations, but so far, not much of a problem. It is about 10% of US cases now. When you add those unvaccinated who previously had COVID to the vaccinated, we may already have enough resistance to dampen the spread of Delta on a National basis, but there are still niches where it could flare up.
An antivaxxer near me, in her 40s, was ill with the coronavirus today. She coworkers that she was coughing up blood during the two weeks that she was at home. She said that she wouldn’t have her father get the vaccine, because he is a cancer patient. She complained at work—a business with many thousands of crowded customers per week—that she was still sick and exhausted.
It’s a psychopathic death cult.
Far fewer people are vaccinated here than in most places, by the way. Maybe we’ll see whether or not there’s a difference for them between taking the other cautionary measures and not doing so (masks, distancing, etc.).
You should make sure she understands about the monoclonal antibodies treatment and that she is not just trying to wait for her infection to clear on its own.
Probably caught it from a vaccinated sheep
Two doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine should do it.

Vaccination failure and Delta variant push Russia toward catastrophic coronavirus third wave
The Bell
June 21, 2021
https://thebell.io/en/vaccination-failure-and-delta-variant-push-russia-toward-catastrophic-coronavirus-third-wave/
Official unwillingness to impose unpopular coronavirus restrictions ahead of September parliamentary elections, distrust of Russia’s vaccines and a new coronavirus variant combined last week to put Moscow at the epicenter of a new wave of the pandemic.
What’s happening?
The coronavirus situation in Moscow has lurched from worrying to verging on catastrophic in just a week. On June 10, City Hall recorded 5,245 daily infections. By Friday this had risen to 9,056 — an absolute record for daily cases. All together, the number of people infected in Moscow has tripled in less than two weeks. As in previous waves, Moscow leads the way. But the rest of the country is catching up and nationwide week-on-week infection rates were up 34.4 percent last week (in Moscow, the increase was 54.4 percent). Deaths were up 14 percent.
Why?
The main cause of the new surge in infections is the so-called Delta variant (also known as the Indian variant), which was officially recorded in Russia for the first time just a month ago. According to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the Delta variant is being found in 89.3 percent of new infections.
This new strain might not have been so dangerous were it not for the failure of Russia’s vaccination programme. Despite Russia being the first country in the world to register a coronavirus vaccine, Russians have been deeply unwilling to get jabbed. There are many reasons for this — people are generally suspicious of vaccines, television channels have been insisting for months that coronavirus has been defeated, prompting many to wonder why they need a vaccine against a vanquished disease, and the hasty registration of the vaccine put people off amid fears about insufficient trialing.
According to official data, about 16.1 million Russians are fully vaccinated. That’s about 11 percent of the population, fewer than in any European country except North Macedonia. It’s one third less than the European Union average and a fifth of the rate in the U.S. or United Kingdom. In Moscow, where vaccinations are available in almost any shopping mall, the rate is pretty much the same as elsewhere in Russia. According to Sobyanin, 1.5 million people have had both jabs – 11.8 percent of the city’s population.
The situation is an “anti-vax catastrophe” that looks almost impossible to fix, according to Pavel Brand, a doctor and medical director of one of Russia’s biggest chains of clinics. “A situation where only 10 percent are vaccinated is arguably worse than if we vaccinated nobody at all. It increases the risk of new mutations while meaning there is no chance of the herd immunity that could protect against all this,” he said.
The official response
The response of the Moscow authorities has included ordering the compulsory vaccination of 60 percent of workers in the hospitality sector. Five other Russian regions, including Moscow and Leningrad regions, followed suit. In St. Petersburg, the authorities have ordered all public sector employees to get the job. Businessmen who spoke to The Bell are split on the benefits of compulsory vaccines: some are supportive, believing their employees are willing to get injected. Others, such as the head of prominent chain Dodo Pizza, said 70 percent of his staff are opposed to vaccines and, if obliged to get a jab, are likely to quit their jobs.
The issue of migrant workers is another question altogether. There are many migrants working in hospitality but, according to Russian law, they are not eligible for a vaccine. A source close to City Hall admitted to The Bell that they are hoping migrants make up less than 40 percent of the workforce (since only 60 percent need to be vaccinated). However, businessmen have already told officials that many of them employ a higher percentage of migrant workers. Sobyanin is considering allowing migrants to get vaccines, but a decision depends on “how bad it gets,” according to the City Hall source.
Attempts at containment
Apart from compulsion, other measures in place to encourage people to get vaccinated include lotteries (in Moscow, if you are vaccinated you could win a car, in Moscow Region, an apartment) and restrictions on routine medical care for the unvaccinated.
There are also plans for ‘COVID-free’ restaurants open only to vaccinated people who have downloaded a QR code from a government website. In addition, only people with this QR code would be allowed into restaurants and bars between 11pm and 6am. Right now, all such venues are closed at night — but this doesn’t stop huge crowds of people gathering in downtown Moscow outside bars and shops selling alcohol and takeaway food.
Black market vaccines
Russia wouldn’t be Russia if there wasn’t a lively black market in vaccination certificates. Media outlets Forbes and Baza have described how key players in this market recently redoubled their efforts. According to Forbes, in the first two weeks of June there were 500 newly-registered domain names for selling vaccination certificates (in addition to 360 that registered in May). Certificates are also sold on messaging app Telegram and on darknet forums, which are, in normal times, usually engaged in hacking and cashing in on data theft.
False vaccination certificates are mostly obtained in the same way. The seller of the fake certificate contacts a medic with access to vaccine shots who opens a dose and pours it away (crazy as it sounds) then records the details of the jab in the state system. The ‘recipient’ can even use their personal account to record details of imaginary side-effects. Three weeks later, the same thing happens for the second shot and the buyer is handed a certificate. The whole process costs a few hundred dollars.
Forbes journalists reported the story of a person from the southern city of Orenburg whose local doctor offered him a fake certificate for free because, even though people don’t want the vaccine, medical staff have targets to meet. He thanked her with a box of chocolates.
A few days after the stories in Forbes and Baza, independent media outlet Meduza quoted an anonymous City Hall source saying the city is cracking down on fake certificates.
Why the world should care: There is evidence of a link between propaganda designed to crush critical thinking in Russia and the widespread, irrational fear of vaccines. There is also an obvious connection between the authorities’ refusal to introduce unpopular lockdown measures — that could save lives — and their fear of losing support ahead of the upcoming elections.
On severity of the delta variant, here’s an excerpt that agrees with a few other articles that I’ve read. True for unvaccinated people in the U.S.? I don’t know, and the reports were from India. Note “among the symptoms” and “some cases.” So maybe, but...I don’t know.
Delta Variant and COVID-19 Vaccines: What to Know
By Ralph Ellis

“The variant appears to cause alarmingly severe symptoms, scientists say.
Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, hearing loss, and joint pain are among the symptoms now being seen in India, according to six doctors treating patients across India, Bloomberg News reports.
Ganesh Manudhane, MD, a cardiologist in Mumbai, India, says some patients develop small blood clots that are so severe they lead to gangrene. Manudhane says he has treated eight patients for blood clots during the past 2 months and two required amputations of fingers or a foot.
Indian doctors also report that COVID-19 is now affecting more young people who haven’t been hospitalized and infecting whole families at the same time, rather than just individuals.”
A vaxxer nutcase near me, in her 40s, was ill with myocarditis today. Her coworkers said that she could barely breathe or walk during the two weeks that she was at home since her 2nd Pfizer shot. She said that she wouldn’t have anyone else in her family get the vaccine, because she doesn’t want the vaccine to kill them too. She got the Pfizer despite previously having cv19, and since recovering from that, taking steps to raise her vitD blood levels to 60 ng/mL because of peer pressure from brain-dead co-workers.
Cv19 is Phase 1 of the bioweapon. Cv19vx is Phase 2 of the CCP bioweapon. A psychopathic death cult promotes the vax.
My story is more plausible than yours, but also made up like yours.
And the FLCCC I-MATH+ protocol, which is the best hospital treatment for cv19

Unvaccinated Americans are at risk of a possibly more dangerous Covid-19 variant. These are the most vulnerable states

[Excerpt:]
In Springfield, Missouri, the low rate of vaccinations combined with the Delta variant has led to a six-fold increase in hospitalizations at CoxHealth, a health care system there, according to its CEO, Steve Edwards.
Over the past four and a half weeks, the number of patients has risen from around 14 to 83, Edwards told CNN on Monday, adding that the patients are younger and have more severe disease than previously — and almost all are unvaccinated.
The Delta variant made up about 10% of cases that were tested three or four weeks ago, he said. “As of last week, it appeared to be 90%.”
“I think it is the Delta variant, and there is a lot of kindling with low vaccination rates, so it’s spreading very rapidly.”
This influx has put new pressures on his staff, Edwards said, compared to previous outbreaks.
I would try to suggest that to her, but even her coworkers do all that they can to get away from her.
...but even her coworkers do all that they can to get away from her. <-——— That’s nothing to do with the virus, by the way. It’s a situation that’s been ongoing for years.
