As states battle a surge of the COVID-19 delta variant, an internal document from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been leaked that shows that the variant spreads from fully vaccinated people at the same rate as unvaccinated people.
CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky confirmed the authenticity of the document, which is a slide presentation, CNN and The Washington Post reported.
The document states that officials must “acknowledge the war has changed,” the Post reported.
“I think people need to understand that we’re not crying wolf here. This is serious,” Walensky told CNN.
“It’s one of the most transmissible viruses we know about. Measles, chickenpox, this — they’re all up there,” Walensky added.
The New York Times reported that the document states the delta variant is more transmissible than MERS, SARS, Ebola, a common cold, seasonal flu and smallpox and is as contagious as chickenpox.
The leak comes as the CDC reversed course earlier this week and now, once again, recommends that fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors in areas of the country where transmission is high, CNN reported.
The document shows that the agency knows it must get a new message out to the public that pushes vaccination as the best defense.
Officials say the delta variant is acting like a different novel virus that is moving faster than Ebola or even a cold, The Washington Post reported.
The document uses unpublished data and outside studies that officials say show that even vaccinated people are able to spread the virus as if they were unvaccinated and that they have similar delta variant viral loads as those who are not vaccinated, the Post reported.
Planted, not leaked.
Yeah it’s contagious. So what?
What they don’t tell you is that it’s half or less deadly than the version we had a year ago!
NOT A PROBLEM!
Scare tactics from liars.......
Disinformation, Right on time!
Ok it’s contagious- so are colds and flu’s. But it has a 0.08 fatality rate.
but less lethal than V1.0 right?
What does that mean - “as contagious as chicken pox” - practically speaking?
Someone sneezes on you and you are infected?
It’s those sorts of statements by the CDC and experts that mean essentially nothing, if they can’t quantify such a statement with real world examples.
LOL!!!!
This super contagion should be actually called the “mid-term” variant.
Barn door’s open and they want all the critters back inside instead of living free liberty.
so the planned Trans-Humans (void of rights, per SCOTUS)
are nothing more than PETRI DISHES planned by Pfizer and
the rest with WHO, Gates, Soros, and Fauxi, to leak
viruses requiring even MORE pseudo-”vaccines”.
a lot of vertical genocidal planning in their Biz Plan.
The epsilon variant is next. But just wait until the chi variant comes out.
They just rat-shitting up the propaganda.
If its that contagious than masks won’t help much except as a feel good measure.
But it’s not that deadly. I’d rather get it than the flu.
Chicken pox spreads as an aerosol and has an R-value of 10 - 12 and a herd immunity threshold of about 90%, so pretty contagious. However, as several posters pointed out no mention of the virulence of the mutated SARS-CoV2 virus.
I haven’t looked for more up-to-date reports but in most countries (like the UK and Sweden) where the Indian variant is taking over, the number of hospitalizations, ICU-patients and deaths have not increased. Could mean that the virulence of the mutated virus is lower, or the fact that most people in the risk groups have been vaccinated, and are protected at least to some extent.
The fact that younger and healthier people get infected is really no problem. On the contrary, the immunity in the “herd” builds up and soon this plague will be nothing but a memory, just like the Russian flu of 1894 (which probably also was a Corona virus).
Oh my stars and garters!!!! Not chicken pox!!!! Doom, doom, and thrice doom!!!!
The CDC is now officially gone mad. Stark raving its. Lock em up.
