The Delta variant of the coronavirus overwhelmingly remains the dominant strain in the United States, but the Lambda variant has started getting attention in recent days.

Like the Delta variant, Lambda is highly infectious and thought to be more resistant to vaccines than the original version of the virus. Though much remains unknown about the strain, there have been some alarming characteristics detected by researchers.

At the moment, the Lambda variant has been mainly spreading through South America after first being identified in Peru in August 2020, but cases have been seen in Texas and South Carolina. Fewer than 700 cases of the Lambda variant have been sequenced in the U.S. out of more than 34 million coronavirus reported cases, according to one estimate.

“..the Delta variant, Lambda is highly infectious and thought to be more resistant to vaccines than the original version of the virus.”

They just make stuff up.

There no evidence and no reason to believe any of the variants are any more resistant to vaccines that any other.

This is moving along according to script. There’s a picture making the rounds of a visual from a WHO conference where they have dates and variants listed. This is by design.
