The COVID panic porn peddlers are still at it again with this Delta variant that no one should really fear, but the experts and the media are still treating like the Andromeda Strain. It is more contagious, but it’s not more lethal and it doesn’t make you sicker. Instead of peddling images of body bags, it’s being used to ensure we vaccinate everyone. No doubt the Democrat-media complex is going to use this to push for mandator vaccination, even suggesting door-to-door measures to ensure the nation reaches that 70 percent threshold. Oh, wait—that’s already been tossed around by some folks.
As we debate the ‘ver are your papers’ protocols about vaccinations, let’s check in with the New York Times who reported the new symptoms of the Delta variant. I’m sure you’ll have a good laugh (via NYT):
The spread of the super-contagious Delta variant is prompting new lockdowns around the world and spurring new warnings from public health officials.
The World Health Organization, citing the rise of Delta, the dearth of vaccines and high rates of community transmission in many parts of the world, has encouraged fully vaccinated people to continue wearing masks.
[…]
Does the Delta variant cause different symptoms?
It’s not clear yet. “We’re hurting for good data,” Dr. Osterholm said.
In Britain, where the variant is widespread, reports have emerged that Delta may cause different symptoms than other variants do. Researchers conducting the Covid Symptom Study, which asks people with the disease to report their symptoms in an app, have said that the most common symptoms of Covid have changed as the variant has spread through Britain.
“What we’ve noticed is the last month, we’re seeing different sets of symptoms than we were seeing in January,” said Tim Spector, a genetic epidemiologist at King’s College London, who leads the study.
Headaches, a sore throat, and a runny nose are now among the most frequently reported symptoms, Dr. Spector said, with fever, cough and loss of smell less common.
These data, however, have not yet been published in a scientific journal, and some scientists remain unconvinced that the symptom profile has truly changed. The severity of Covid, regardless of the variant, can vary wildly from one person to another.
So, nothing has changed. We’re acting as if sore throat, headache, and runny noses are new ailments never seen in medical science. There is nothing peculiar about these symptoms. Nothing. First, all three have been around since the time of Hammurabi’s Code. Second, they’re the same freaking symptoms when COVID first escaped from a Chinese lab, I mean—they’re the same when this virus first appeared.
ALL THREE vaccines are effective, including the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. If you’re vaccinated, keep going outside and live your life. If you’re not vaccinated, the choice is still yours, but it’s readily available for everyone now. We have three options to kill this thing. This pandemic is over. Plus, again, we’re not considering natural immunity. Tens of millions have already had and recovered from the infection.
We’re done, guys. And a new round of lockdowns isn’t going to work. They never did. What it will do is wipe out Democrats in the 2022 elections, so tread carefully lockdown clowns.
Russia has three vaccines, one of which is made from whole, inactivated COVID-19 virus. I think at least one other country has a similar vaccine, so the idea that the whole virus has not been identified/isolated is a myth. If they can systematically grow enough for a vaccine, I’d that that counts.

Won’t be pretty if that gets out all over the country, ya think? Could be a Fort Sumter moment in history.”
Didn’t they already inject disabled folks against their will?
Was it in the US or overseas?

Which airline mandated that you get the shot?
biden and the demonrats don’t have any reason for even considering lockdowns to contain the spread of anything since biden opened the border and continues to spread thousands of “disease carrying invaders” across our country during a “global pandemic”...
I didn’t know the virus had been isolated.
Just horsing around!
The day after she got back she felt so bad she went to the ER...She was having a heart attack .
Related? I don't know
“Headaches, a sore throat, and a runny nose are now among the most frequently reported symptoms, Dr. Spector said, with fever, cough and loss of smell less common.“
According to Dr. Spector, I’ve had this Covid Delta variant about 3 times EVERY YEAR of my life.
Come on all you “science experts”.. flame away! LOL
I will NEVER worship at this phony altar of fear.
When the money gets big “The People” get hurt.
This, in order to avoid overwhelming our hospital facilities, and to avoid deaths due to ventilator shortages, we were asked to remain in our homes unless absolutely necessary. We were to either work from home, or if we lost our jobs we would have a supplemental unemployment payment that would help make up our economic shortfall in the short term.
President Trump launched an unprecedented effort to manufacture and distribute additional ventilators, construct temporary critical care facilities, and to spearhead an effort to temporarily waive traditional testing in order to allow industry to create and manufacture a vaccine.
We have done all of this. Hospital beds went unused. Ventilators remained idle. Multiple companies created and tested vaccines, and produced hundreds of millions of doses in record time.
Now that we have excess ventilators, ample hospital bed capacity, and effective (and presumably safe) vaccines, we are now getting back to our lives.
If the goal is zero COVID positive tests, then that goal is unobtainable and unrealistic. The hysterics among world leadership must end, and this madness must stop.
Thanks for the info, but I have moved on to Lambda. Headache is what I get when a storm front is coming. Runny nose is what I get from seasonal allergies. Sore throat is what I get when I talk to much and don’t drink enough water, or snore too much at night. Maybe I had Delta and didn’t know it.
I don’t think they’d be that blunt.
What they’d do is “incentivize” your employer to make life impossible for you if you don’t get it.
They’ll also incentivize as many businesses as they can to shut un-vaccinated/non-compliant rabble right out of THEIR society
This is how they do it in the 21st century to avoid Ft. Sumpter moments.
So now any similar symptoms, or let’s just say it, the common cold, will be reason for these power nazi’s like Faucci to scream for lock downs. We head into flu season soon. Common flu will be enough to lock down. Endless media screaming 100 people have the flue, 3 people died.
Hard to see when this will end.

I believe that the 2022 "elections" have already been counted. It is only a matter of announcing the results in a suitably dramatic show.
Spoiler: The Democrats win by a landslide.

My wife and I are seniors, and rarely go out, preferring to stay at our home. When we do go out, we always wear an N95 mask, wipe our hands with antiseptic wipes, and keep our distance from others.
Last week I caught what seemed to be a cold - slight headache, itchy throat and runny nose and sneezing. Couldn't figure out how I could catch it. It passed in two days, and my wife didn't catch anything from me. I'm over 70, and it didn't slow me down from shoveling dirt and heavy lifting. Maybe it was the common cold, or maybe a covid variant? Still not going to take the vaccine shot.
I blame this all on Ah Choo.
“Did your doc’s, back East, require that you take these shots?”
Clarification. It was the facility that requested I was vaccinated, not the airlines. My apologies.
You do realize the mask has zero protection from viruses.
Hear, hear! Worth repeating! Kudos to both of you!
HB: *** Sounds like a cold. Oh yea a Corona virus.***
AFIP: *** They never counted asymptomatic cases of H1N1 and they even stopped counting cases of H1N1 at all in 2009 and moved on to estimating the number choosing the middle guess between their high estimate and low estimate.
This is unprecedented.***
