[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people fearmongering about the Delta variant? The majority of people in the US have received the mRNA vaccines which are very effective against this mutant. Do people want to stay locked down forever?[/quote]

And horrors, if you do get it, it’s like a cold!

Doctors are beginning to notice Covid-19 cases that look more like a very bad cold, especially in areas of the country where the highly contagious delta variant is quickly spreading.[/quote]

"Indeed, in the United Kingdom, where delta is implicated in more than 95 percent of new cases, researchers say the most common symptoms of Covid-19 are now that of a bad cold: headache, sore throat, runny nose and fever."

Oh no, fear the Delta. Let's prepare to move goal posts to outlaw colds.[/quote]

It’s interesting that there have several threads in recent weeks trying to move goalposts for schools. Last year the argument was elementary students should be in school because young children were not very impacted by COVID and needed in person instruction. Now some are arguing the opposite that they should be virtual because they are not vaccinated.it’s all based on panic and hysteria not data.[/quote]

The Delta variant IS moving goalposts. Here’s some data:

Health officials in Israel reported that about half of the new cases were in adults who had been fully vaccinated.

But it’s only dangerous for unvaccinated adults. Being in that category is a choice in the US.[/quote]

The subtitle of the article is: The delta variant has made Covid-19 more dangerous than ever for unvaccinated people. This forum is just panic porn.[/quote]
