Fauci: Delta strain is a 'nasty variant'

Anthony Fauci characterized the delta strain of the coronavirus as a "nasty variant" during an interview on Sunday.

Appearing on ABC's "This Week," Fauci said Americans who are not vaccinated against the coronavirus should be concerned about a spike in delta variant cases.

"It's very clear that this is a nasty variant. It has a much greater capacity of transmitting from person to person," Fauci said, adding the vaccines that are being used in America to fight the coronavirus "are working very well" and do protect against the delta variant.

"The bad news is that we have a very nasty variant. The good news is that we have a vaccine that works against it," Fauci said.

The nation's leading infectious diseases expert also voiced concern about what he called a "schism between some states and some areas that have a very low level of vaccination."

President Biden last week renewed a call for all Americans to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, saying his administration is prepared to be more aggressive in fighting vaccine misinformation and eliminating barriers to inoculation for all citizens.

"It’s never been easier, and it’s never been more important," Biden said. "Do it now for yourself and the people you care about, for your neighborhood, for your country. It sounds corny, but it’s a patriotic thing to do."

Fearmongering Fauci at it again.

The variant is even less harmful than the original (even if you believe the official stats...).

What do we think, Freepers?

Is it his professional opinion, as a scientist, that this variant is “nasty”? Does Janet Jackson concur?

If you read through European virus experts....they all say it’s easier to pass around, but the level (intensity) of the disease probably doesn’t match up to first original version.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The only 'nasty variant' is Fauci.

Here's Fauci, mutating as our immune systems try to fight him off.

I'm no expert, but I think that's standard and expected. Virus mutations typically weaken the disease. And by becoming more contagious but less fatal, we get herd immunity more easily. Hopefully, this Delta Variant will spread like wildfire, give everyone a mild flu-like illness for a few days, and grant massive levels of immunity throughout society. Sounds like great news.

Fear is a powerful motivator. I wonder how many people see the story of “The Boy Who Dried Wolf” in Fauci?

I agree with you!
....I know 7 who were unvaccinated ...( as this is anecdotal, 4 for sure, possibly all 7) in a small church in our community recently contracted Covid......2 more contracted it even after their first ( but had not received their 2nd) jab

All are recuperating nicely although one described it as an awful flu with spiking fever for 2 days......2 others are in the hospital

This church had taken all precautions and was just fully opening again when this happened

Not so. The 1918 influenza when it first started infecting people it was bad, but many recovered. But when the US troops fighting in Europe started coming home, they brought back with them a much deadlier strain, the 2nd wave. By they 3rd and 4th waves the virus had weakened but that was little comfort to the families of the estimated 500,000 who died.

He’s racial profiling. Deltas just want to spread around and feed off people. They don’t want to hurt anyone. Racist.

That did it. I’m de-jabbing myself. I’ll have a vampire suck out all my blood, and then rise from the tomb un-dead, but at least I’ll be free from this f@#$ing vaccine! It sounds corny, but patriotism is the first refuge of scoundrels.
