The Delta Covid Variant... How Concerned Are You?

Interesting. A woman I work with in her mid 30's who had COVID and temporarily lost all sense of taste and smell says now she's not thinking as well as she used to, although I haven't noticed it. That's worrisome, if this actually causes a permanent loss of brain function.

It looks like Britain is starting on a 4th wave because of the Delta Variant. Hopefully they'll be able to get people vaccinated quickly enough to smash it out.

Places like Brazil haven't been so lucky with the variants, because they don't have as good of access to vaccines. Incredibly there are now 500,000 COVID deaths in Brazil, and they're probably undercounting. And there's no end in sight - new cases are close to the March peak.

It's ironic that President Trump's administration ramrodded Operation Warp Speed, which got the vaccines out fast and will probably save us from the worst of the carnage from the variants. But many strong Trump supporters are afraid to get the vaccine. Originally Posted by Tiny

Boy that sounds like a scientific term arrived at through loads and loads of research.

Just what you you base your conclusion that the Moderna vaccine PROBABLY offers very strong protection??? lol


I can only imagine if Trump were still in office and he stated that a vaccine would "probably" offer strong protection, you libs would blow a fucking gasket. lol

Yeah, probably. Why is that a term worthy of assault?

If it can't be 100% proven, I will refuse a vaccine.

Makes perfect sense to me.

The "loss of sense of smell" is laughable. I've asked this question before and didn't get an answer: "Is there a scientific test that measures one "sense of smell?" I've never heard of it.
Trump "ramrodded" the vaccine thru? Biased much?
I'm not scared of the vaccine. It's 1) Approved for emergency use 2) not critical to my health risk. Like the flu, I'll take other medicines and treatments if I get it. Have you gotten all your HPV and Hep shots?

I wonder what the US COVID vaccination rate is by race, region, age and income levels. Anybody got any data?

... I am going to be best off by doing "Absolutely NOTHING" right now. Originally Posted by GaGambler

BTW, India and Brazil can be shithholes. I'm confident population density has something to do with the spread which is why it spread so quickly in the NYC area.

So because data isn't perfect, you will refuse the vaccine?

If big pharma wanted to make more money with the vaccines, they would not have given the M-RNA instructions to make multiple antibodies for possible multiple variants. You have the Alpha mutant from Great Britan, Beta mutant from South Africa and the Delta mutant from India. The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines offer protection against all of three of these mutants. That does not mean that a mutant could evolve that the first release of the vaccine will not have protection for. I don't think that is a premeditated plan on the part of big pharma.

There was no money in a vaccine for the SARS CoV2 virus until it developed an strong affinity to latch onto a surface protein found it lung cells. Until it (SARS CoV2) developed this physical characteristic it was not much different than seasonal flu.

Keep in mind that Moderna had to find an investor that was willing to fund them until they produced a revenue generating product. Moderna did not have anything to generate revenue for years. Moderna was one division company, the M_RNA vaccine. Pfizer in comparison had other divisions that had revenue generating products like viagra.

The counter there was encased in a hard plastic shield. You didn't know until March, but observant Folks were easily two months ahead of you.

Anyone who hasn’t watched this should, a very well spent couple hours. *cue speedy bashing the doctor’s qualifications and/or the website*

Fuck. I heard about the ching chong lab virus in December, and I never thought it would ever be here, but sure enough, it became a fucking lockdown lovers ass raping paradise in only a few months time. I was like "Hell yea! I get to work at home! :sunglasses:" in around March. Shortly after that, no one was laughing anymore. It all went to hell.
