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.

A report published by the UK government agency Public Health England showed that individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine are more than three times more likely to die from the Delta variant than unvaccinated people!

“Delta is like 50% more infectious”

Sounds like a selling point to me! I hope that’s what Fauci paid for with the Gain of Function research he funded. I can hear the TV ads now...

“COVID 19 DELTA variant!! Now with 50% more killing power to take out those hard to kill Americans!”

and, in all probability, LESS lethal (more contagious, less lethal are corollaries).

MAYBE more people - of a particularly narrow range of comorbidities - will die off quickly, as MORE people carry and spread the largely LESS LETHAL variant(s) but THEY NEED TO ISOLATE, not the rest of us.

BASIC tenets of infectious disease, epidemiology have been ignored for the Lysenkoism which is Faucism.

This is the continuation of the plan. COVID-21 was stated on a slide Fraud Fauci used a few years ago along with COVID-19.

“and, in all probability, LESS lethal (more contagious, less lethal are corollaries).”

Well, we just don’t know yet,
Indications from the UK so far are good, but it’s just too soon to say.

The fact that he gives such a precise percentages exposes his incompetence. Such precise figures are impossible given the accuracy of the raw data. But this is a game all lying propagandists play.

I call BS on the Delta variant if it was “so scary” as they have been saying - why didn’t they close borders or limit interstate travel? Instead they push the vax and masks again.

So it looks to me to be just another fear tactic.

I assume that thread was posted by someone who has proved to me that they lie- a lot.

Another week of data will be decisive with me.

Before the “Delta variant” was it the “Charlie variant” or the “Gamma variant?” I’m trying to figure out the naming convention to see exactly how many more there are to go. Is Echo or Epsilon next?

Yeah, I noticed that, too. So many variants. I guess they keep naming new ones because the old ones haven't lived up to the hype. And hype is what this is.

When this first started, they were giddy about cases. Now, it is variants.

I guess Fauci hasn't realized, yet, that his 15 minutes are over. No one trusts him, and with good reason.
