Gottlieb: US will be through delta wave in 2 or 3 weeks
The Hill ^ | 07/28/2021 | DOMINICK MASTRANGELO

Posted on 07/28/2021 6:47:31 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb predicted early Wednesday that the United States could get through the worst of the delta variant surge of the coronavirus in a few weeks.

"The bottom line is, the vaccine does not make you impervious to infection," Gottlieb said during an appearance on CNBC. "There are some people who are developing mild and asymptomatic infections even after vaccination."

After acknowledging the delta variant of the coronavirus as "much more transmissible" than the first strain, Gottlieb questioned whether that fact should "translate into general guidance" on mask wearing and vaccine requirements in the United States.

Doesn't matter. Fauci and blue state governors are itching to lockdown again in the fall or sooner.

His failure to anticipate the imminent arrival of new science consistent with the long running narratives surprises me.

LOL, that’s what we were told with Covid. 15 days to flatten the curve, 1.5 years later.

This is exactly correct

1. Delta is far more transmissible and therefore will go through more quickly

2. Vaccination breakthrough occurs rarely but vaccination prevents critical illness or death

3. At the conclusion of this there will be here immunity as the number of vaccinated plus natural immunity will stymie further transmission

This is what I have been saying as well as delta has taken hold and this is exactly what we are seeing in hospitals.

This is the real science and leads to logical and data driven conclusions. At this point masking is political. I do not believe in mandatory vaccine. People have the information. They can roll the dice either way but this pandemic will come to a conclusion as all pandemics do. Vaccination has made a difference in accelerating herd immunity and preventing death.

My wife and I had the P1 Gamma over July 4th. Last time I checked my sweetheart, she wasn’t green.

Ummm.... Wake Up!

When you've been thru one cycle, okay... you can take/rationalize a second cycle. Three cycles? That's iffy... but whatever. What cycle are we on now, 18 months later?

You’ve been warned before about reasonable posts!

Now get back into the corner with a dunce cap until you can post more hyperbole, with comments by doctors about how metal spoons stick to people foreheads that have been vaccinated!
