Enough. Enough. Yes, there are variants when it comes to viruses. We all know this. There are variants of the flu. This is not news, and yet, the media cannot stop fearmongering over the new Delta strain.
This isn’t the Andromeda Strain. And yet again, the vaccines ARE effective against it, and there's no evidence that it makes you sicker. Is it more transmissible? Yes, but again, we have three vaccines. We've reached herd immunity in many parts of the country. It's a strain that's not likely to cause more death, either, so I couldn't give less of a sh** about this strain.
I had COVID. I still got the vaccine when it became available. Many others have been vaccinated as well. This pandemic is over. Axios nixed their weekly COVID map due to the low levels of infection. The only people who honestly care and are scared by this Delta variant are liberals. The same slice of the country that wants to remain in the bunker.
Prior to the Delta hysterics, some 71 percent of Democrats wanted to remain afraid. Why? Who knows? While liberals ooze moral superiority, they're grossly misinformed about COVID. Granted, we all are since the experts decided to become political during the pandemic. Remember mask wearing? Yeah, emails from Dr. Anthony Fauci, the liar in the lab coat, admitted the store-bought masks liberals have been hoarding do jack sh** against curbing the spread.
And this is exactly why Delta is a thing. Liberals on Twitter dominate the very areas where the same quasi-Democratic operatives who parade as journalists live. And alas, we've arrived at the echo chamber that has peddled lies about Trump, COVID, and Ron DeSantis, which is protected and further magnified by their allies in Big Tech. Meanwhile, those who were right about everything, like the many people who said COVID resulted from a lab leak, were smeared as conspiracy theorists. Not the case.
This is going to be a test. Will we remain scared, or will people say screw it? From what I've seen at the Jersey shore alone, people are living their lives. The beaches are packed. Everyone is outside. The pandemic is over. The Fourth of July is this weekend. In Washington, DC, the celebration is still a go. The summer of freedom is here—and no one cares about COVID anymore.
Getting the vaccine is a choice. Millions have already do so. If you're vaccinated, you're good. If you choose not to, then your risk is still low given the rates of vaccination. We were never going to reach that 70 percent benchmark that liberals have ingrained in their heads. As if COVID will vanish if that happens. It discounts the tens of millions who already had and recovered from infection; they've acquired natural immunity.
The point is there will be variants. None of them have proven to make you sicker. None of them are deadlier. And the vaccines offer protection against every single one of them. Don't panic. Live your life. Summer is here. Enjoy. And for the love of God, mute Dr. Fauci.
