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.

He ought to know. His, Biden’s, and the rest of the sleazy traitorous Democrat leadership’s comrades in communist China probably cooked that up too.

there’s a thread posted on FR today showing the mortality rate for the Delta variant was .8% for the unvaccinated.

Oh Nos! Not the Delta Variant!

The Zulu Variant will literally dissolve us into puddles of goo!

Yes, this is likely true but it will simply, for the most part, extend individual immunity to more individuals who do not yet have individual immunity from either vaccination or previous COVID-19 infection. It will be an inevitable crawl toward a higher population immunity threshold caused by the variant’s higher infectiousness. This is INEVITABLE whether people are required to wear ineffective masks or not.

They went to a letter system after they couldn’t explain why anyone who mentioned that the virus came from China got cancelled but it was okay for them to have a Brazilian variant, an Indian variant, etc. It’s more about placating their Chinese masters.

"Delta is like 50% more infectious- and that’s all we know about it so far."

And I should trust this claim because they've been so honest with us so far? A sucker is born every minute - don't be one.

This is all about snake oil and money and an experimental gene therapy and the largest gene therapy trial in history. People need to stop calling this a “vaccine”. This is GENE THERAPY. And it’s experimental and non-FDA approved. Faucci should be in jail by now. I think they are about to throw him under the bus and i’ll be laughing all the way. Leftists see people as a means to an end and not a living being with a spirit. These lemmings are just stepping stones to $ and control. Reference Stalin and his purge and every other POS leftist who got control.

The WHO decided that it was badthink to refer to the location where each variant was first detected, and decided that they would use the Greek alphabet to name them. So out with the “Kent variant”, and in with Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta.

Getting ridiculous, and will backfire on the “pro-vax” people.


Well, you’re one of the biggest ‘pro-vax’ people, here, Mith....so you best brace for backfire.

~~~~~~~

Delta is like 50% more infectious- and that’s all we know about it so far.


We know that Delta has a 3.25 time higher death rate, in VACCINATED people.

Variants are as boring as your guy, FRAUDci, other than that.

The mistake that killed the most Americans was the failure of the CDC covid tests early in the pandemic- when we needed them most.
Media doesn’t want to acknowledge that- to protect a disastrous establishment, including Fauci.

We’ll need another week of data from the UK to know enough about Delta.
Most info is coming from them, but their concentration on vaxxing the old and frail- and not vaxxing the young skews their data.
IE: myth that Delta attacks the young more, and myth that it’s worse for vaxxed.

No problem. I just saw the other thread myself and went back to check it.
Since .08% is ten times less than .8% I thought it was worth a correction. :)
