The COVID-19 vaccines will never be perfect; fully vaccinated people can still get infected, though they’re much less likely to be hospitalized or die from the disease. Yet, the Delta coronavirus variant first discovered in India has some experts concerned.
The World Health Organization suggested on Friday that fully vaccinated people still wear face masks whenever possible, citing the Delta variant’s increased transmissibility and risk of serious COVID-19 across the globe.
“People cannot feel safe just because they had the two doses. They still need to protect themselves… vaccines alone won’t stop community transmission,” Dr. Mariangela Simao, WHO assistant director-general for access to medicines and health products, said during a virtual press conference on June 25. “People need to continue to use masks consistently, be in ventilated spaces, hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette, the physical distance, avoid crowding.”

“I personally think this is very wise advice. The #DeltaVariant is enormously contagious with even fleeting exposure of just seconds. This indicates clearly fast airborne transmission,” Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding, an epidemiologist, health economist and senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists in Washington, D.C... “You need to keep masking, especially premium masks if possible,” Feigl-Ding added.

“We are already starting to see some consequences of these events with increasing transmission again. The Delta variant will make that epidemic curve exponential,” Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, an infectious disease epidemiologist and the WHO COVID-19 technical lead, said during the press conference. “So, please, do what you can to keep yourself safe and make decisions individually about what [you] need to do every day.”

Oh, noes!!!!
Nope.
No sale, Dr DC Hack Dingleberry.
If you think that porous face diaper will “save” you I have some waterfront property in Floriduh that will interest you.
“Feigl-Ding”
Is that like Feigl-Ding and Fecal-Dong?
More masks.....more lockdowns.....more magic vaccines !
More Big Brother !
They need to be gagged and quarantined for a few yrs. Just to be safe.
17 June: CNBC: The fast-spreading delta Covid variant could have different symptoms, experts say
by Holly Ellyatt; CNBC’s Rich Mendez contributed reporting to this story.
But the delta variant appears to be provoking a different range of symptoms, according to experts...
Tim Spector, a professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London, runs the Zoe Covid Symptom study, an ongoing U.K.-based study which enables the public to enter their Covid symptoms on an app when enables scientists to then analyze the data.
“Covid is also acting differently now,” Spector noted in a YouTube briefing last week. “It’s more like a bad cold in this younger population and people don’t realize that and that hasn’t come across in any of the government information.”...
“Since the start of May, we have been looking at the top symptoms in the app users and they are not the same as they were,” he said. “The number one symptom is headache, then followed by sore throat, runny nose and fever.” More “traditional” Covid symptoms such as a cough and loss of smell were much rarer now he said, with younger people experiencing much more of a bad cold or “funny off feeling.”...

Whenever a scientist or MD says people “need” to do something, their advice comes from a position of authoritarianism rather than science.
I for one am much more willing to listen to “experts” who appeal to the reason of individuals to do the right thing based on the evidence presented.
I assumed it was a doctor named Fielding who wanted people to think he was half Jewish and half Chinese.
WHO gives a flying f....?
these corporate quacks are getting on my nerves
More than a year ago Fauci admitted the mask does not protect
So if it’s only “like a bad cold” now,
then there’s no need for lockdowns or masks anymore ... people deal with colds all the time, BFD
so the panic’s over, despite all the desperate attempts by Big Media to keep it going
Perhaps he's Jewish, and just identifies as Chinese.

26 June: news.com.au: Australia’s ‘fleeting’ virus spread claim disputed
The word “fleeting” has been used to describe the way the Delta covid variant is spreading in Australia. But WHO experts say that might be wrong.
by Rohan Smith
As reported by The Sydney Morning Herald, World Health Organisation officials are not convinced there is enough evidence to say covid can spread within five seconds.
Dr Mike Ryan, director of WHO’s Health Emergencies Program, told a news conference from Geneva on Saturday morning that more work needed to be done to analyse the speed of spread.
“How much virus do you need to be contaminated by or inhale before you reach a dose that causes you to have an infection?” Dr Ryan said.
“That’s not even known for the previous strains and it’s not fully understood for these newer strains — Delta strain included.”...

Doctors Risch and McCullough on “Ingraham Angle” today (hosted by Ben Domenech).
both say Delta is the weakest of the variants so far. virtually no deaths. just bad flu or cold symptoms. both criticise the alarmist propaganda.
Risch says it’s important Delta spreads through the population as fast as possible to build on immunity.
sounds right to me.
lots in the following about this charlatan:
