Fauci Warns Dangerous Delta Variant Is The Greatest Threat To U.S. COVID Efforts
NPR ^ | 06/29/2021 | Rob Stein

The dangerous Delta variant of the coronavirus is spreading so quickly in the United States that it's likely the mutant strain will become predominant in the nation within weeks, according to federal health officials and a new analysis.

At a White House briefing on COVID-19 on Tuesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health said 20.6% of new cases in the U.S. are due to the Delta variant. And other scientists tracking the variant say it is on track to become the dominant virus variant in the U.S.

"The Delta variant is currently the greatest threat in the U.S. to our attempt to eliminate COVID-19," Fauci said. He noted that the proportion of infections being caused by the variant is doubling every two weeks.

The variant, first identified in India, is the most contagious yet and, among those not yet vaccinated, may trigger serious illness in more people than other variants do, he said.

“is more mild than the original Covid.”

I have read that in numerous articles. More like a cold.

One suggested exposing kids to it because it’s way safer than these experimental vaccine in that age group

I did.

Ignoring information posted by a FReeper you don’t like is ignoring the real source of the information. That’s conflating the credibility of one onto the other.

It made you go full retard. I guess you're stuck on that setting now.

No one has more to lose than fascists Fauci come election 2022. The last thing he wants is Repubs running the Congressional initiated investigations. Well in theory that is...Turtle, McCarthy = worthless.

Laughing even more.
I addressed that.

Lying about it now doesn’t help you.
It just makes you look more desperately silly (if you could).

Add lying to dodging and projecting. You didn’t address it.

I don’t talk to liars.

The mistake that killed the most in Murica was failing to treat covid cases before they showed up in ERs.

Anyone that doesn’t know how, doesn’t need to. Yeah this is an ugly statement, but I’m tired. 15 months ago was a different era and many failed our society and the people that needed protection.

Got a point there. People should have been treated with “whatever”- as long as it had some chance of helping.
Instead they were sent home with nothing and told to come back when it was worse.

Still, I think the failure of the early tests was HUGE.

Oh yes, Congressional hearings led by Republicans are so intimidating. /s Please stop taking hallucinogens.



That guy has landed on his feet and is a hero in the "elite" circles. Republicans sure clean up corrupt government/crimes. /s

Fauci is the "light-bearer" in all of this because he caused all of this by being a mad scientist at first, then an outright criminal later. He is safe because he is one of the few people walking this earth that sort of understands what was unleashed. Heck, this could be a part of his plan which means he is protected on high.

He should be held down and forced to take the real vaccine, then watch him scream.

In England they were tracking ~4,000 vaccinated people and ~25 of them died of Delta. They were also tracking ~35,000 unvaccinated, and ~32 of them died from Delta.

Those stats fit earlier mNRA studies done with COV1 where the vaccinated animals were more susceptible to the variants later on.

On Father’s Day I went down to see my old man A great day we played golf and he beat his age by four strokes. Anyway, back at the house my ultra smart/liberal brother and nephew ganged up on me and started making fun of me for not getting the jab. After that they started making fun of the Arizona audit. Unfortunately I ended up telling them to go F themselves. The good news is that the old man gave me a high five as I was leaving.

” the old man gave me a high five as I was leaving.”
Beautiful!

I argue a lot with people who post lies about the vaccine, but any anti-vaxxer who just says: “I don’t trust the government!” is just showing good sense IMO.

Thank you for running away.

Maybe you’ll have something intelligent to say in the future on some other subject.
