The Hill's Morning Report - High-profile COVID-19 infections spark new worries
The Hill ^ | 07/21/2021 | ALEXIS SIMENDINGER AND AL WEAVER

The dynamics of the delta variant of COVID-19 represent both the best and worst of times for a pandemic that’s far from over.

On the plus side, vaccines are keeping most inoculated people out of hospitals and out of morgues. But the delta variant can still infect vaccinated people, startling those with no symptoms or mild illness who test positive for the virus, including at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.

In official Washington, relaxed behaviors began to change on Tuesday following the discovery that vaccinated aides from the White House and Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) staff, along with vaccinated legislators from Texas visiting the nation’s capital, plus Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.), who was fully vaccinated early this year, all recently tested positive for COVID-19 with mild or no symptoms. Their infections are met with self-isolation, contact tracing to determine whether senior elected officials might be exposed, and lots and lots of testing. The infected-but-vaccinated can transmit the virus to others, including children and adults

it’s all about the “infected” now

not deaths anymore, not hospitalizations, not even people sick at home ...

just “infections” and “cases”

anything to keep the control-thru-fear-agenda going

They are just using them as props to justify lockdowns and masking.

Oh. I get it. People vaccinated for COVID-19 aren’t getting the Rona, they are getting the DELTA VARIANT.

So, the jabs ARE working against the original bug, but the NEW bug, the DELTA VARIANT they aren’t protected. /s

BOOSTER SHOTS FOR ALL.

NEW mRNA jabs/vaccines for the DELTA VARIANT are on the way at WARP SPEED.

BILLIONS AND BILLIONS AND BILLIONS more bucks for Big Pharma.

Now, I get it. /s

It’s about *detections*.

Detections of viral particles, not even whole genomes. These are not living virons. They are cellular debris and could be from any number of viri.

Detection is not infection.

Makes perfect sense to me:

Get the first shots which lead to the Delta "variant".
The Delta variant "booster" will lead to the Echo "variant".
The Echo variant "booster" will lead to the Foxtrot "variant".
The Foxtrot variant "booster" will lead to the Gulf "variant".
The Gulf variant "booster" will lead to the Hotel "variant".
...and so on.

July 16, 2021 In Missouri

“Those ICUs are also filling with younger patients, in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, including many with no underlying health problems. In part, that’s because elderly people have been more likely to get vaccinated, leaving Delta with a younger pool of vulnerable hosts.”

Covid is also spreading in Arkansas, Texas, LA County and parts of Florida.

Of ADE were occurring the vast majority of critical and dead infected would be the vaccinated. The exact opposite is the reality.

“According to an analysis carried out by Public Health England, two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine appeared to be about 88 percent effective against symptomatic disease and 96 percent effective against hospitalization with the delta variant.”

“A study in Israel was more of an outlier and found that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine did not offer as high protection as previously estimated. The study suggested the vaccine was about 64 percent effective against preventing infection with the delta variant and 64 percent effective against symptomatic illness after two doses.”

“Pfizer-BioNTech is seeking FDA approval for a booster to address waning antibody 6 months following full immunization, with particular concerns for protection against new variants.”

Dr Robert Malone (inventor of mRNA vaccines has expressed great concerns that we are seeing the first waves of ADE. This opinion is based on the fact that the MOST VACCINATED countries are currently experiencing the greatest COVID surges. Please review the following censored statistics posted by Dr Robert Malone on Twitter…
