Leaked CDC report: Delta variant as contagious as chickenpox

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The document uses unpublished data and outside studies that officials say show that even vaccinated people are able to spread the virus as if they were unvaccinated and that they have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.

More fear-mongering. Seems there are more snowflakes than I had previously thought.

I’m 58 and I’ve never had measles, mumps, chicken pox, Hepatitis, plague, or hoards of locusts. I’ve not had a cold in 15 years and the only time I ever had the flu was AFTER a flu shot. (and that was 35 years ago). Pretty sure my immune system can handle this.

“Vitamin D, C and Zinc. Lots of water. Get sleep. Am I missing any other prep work?”

Avoid vaccinated people, they think they are immune.

Every virus is contagious and we’ve had viruses for decades. Some get them, some don’t.

I think so. High risk groups for the wuhan coronavirus have more stored iron, so keeping blood ferritin at about 70 ng/ml will probably make people less likely to have problems.

Taking too much vitamin D reduces vitamin K, and that might make people weaker for the wuhan coronavirus. If I take vitamin D, I would take 10 micrograms per day.

What this means is that all their data is based on a very limited sample size of WSG tests being plugged into their model.

It’s all projections made with extreme confirmation bias.

Eat low carb, keep your blood sugar low. Colgate Total mouthwash has the active ingredient shown to kill Covid in vitro, Listerine doesn’t. Zicam nasal swabs works on colds and I used them to great effect when I had the alpha variant.

Killing it in your upper respiratory tract is how you keep it out of your lower respiratory tract.

I think it’s insidious the a virus that your body defeats in childhood hides in your nerve cells and comes roaring back, decades later. It almost seems spiteful.

For Colgate, is the ingredient Cetylpyridinium Chloride? Phillips Sonicare mouthwash has it too, and zinc as well

Don’t wear a mask. Get outside. Go to the beach. Get together with Friends. Go to church. Read your Bible. Especially Revelation.

Consider taking quercetin if you don’t have access to hydroxychloroquine.


Groups at higher risk for the wuhan coronavirus have more stored iron. Some claim quercetin removes iron from the body.

Yes, and thank you for the tip on Phillips Sonicare mw. Crest makes one too, Crest Platinum I think, it tastes terrible, imo.

That is what happened to me and my wife @ 1 month ago.

We are unvaxxed. Got tested and was told we had the Gamma P1 variant.

Symptoms.

Sleepy
Intermittent fever not higher than @ 101.4
No appetite. Did not lose taste or smell but food did not taste good. Lost 13 # from this experience.
Some coughing
Headache around the eye sockets but not bad

We wonder if we have some immunity to the Delta or if it is an entirely new beast?

My brother had chicken pox the same time I did. He also got shingles later in life. He’s a doctor and said it sucked the big one.

I’m not an anti-vax zealot. Just don’t think I need the covid jab because I have natural immunity. If they come out with a vax specifically for the Delta variant, I will likely take it.
