    Delta Variant: What We Know About the Science | CDC

    On July 27, 2021, CDC released updated guidance on the need for urgently increasing COVID-19 vaccination coverage and a recommendation for everyone in areas of substantial or high transmission to wear a mask in public indoor places, even if they are fully vaccinated. CDC issued this new guidance due to several concerning developments and newly emerging data signals. First is a reversal in the downward trajectory of cases. In the days leading up to our guidance update, CDC saw a rapid and alarming rise in the COVID case and hospitalization rates around the country.

        Masks
        Given what we know about the Delta variant, vaccine effectiveness, and current vaccine coverage, layered prevention strategies, such as wearing masks, are needed to reduce the transmission of this variant


        At this time, as we build the level of vaccination nationwide, we must also use all the prevention strategies available, including masking indoors in public places, to stop transmission and stop the epidemic.
        Vaccines are playing a crucial role in limiting spread of the virus and minimizing severe disease. Although vaccines are highly effective, they are not perfect and there will be vaccine breakthrough infections. Millions of Americans are vaccinated, and that number is growing. This means that even though the risk of breakthrough infections is low, there will be thousands of fully vaccinated people who become infected and able to infect others, especially with the surging spread of the Delta variant. Low vaccination coverage in many communities is driving the current rapid and large surge in cases associated with the Delta variant, which also increases the chances that even more concerning variants could emerge.

            "A recently published study from the Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention (CDC) shows there is no scientific rationale for forcibly masking schoolchildren.

            When analyzing more than 90,000 elementary school students in 169 Georgia schools from Nov. 16 to Dec. 11 last year, the study found that

                          They have proven the shot doesn't have the efficacy they told us.
                          If you get the shot you can still catch AND transit covid.
                          What's the sense of getting a shot IF I can die from it?

                            ... dinosaurs went extinct. Unvaccinated humans will go extinct.

                            No different a public health measure than being forced to get a polio shot in the 70s-80s-90s school systems across North America and the world. Like Polio, when the COVID-19 vaccine becomes manufactured and offered as an oral tablet the pandemic will start to come under control.

                              Not to mention that many of those who do catch the virus after being vaxed are asymptomatic and can remain contagious for more than the usual 2 weeks. Sounds like the vaccine just might be a super spreader.

                                ... welcome to the world of COVID variants. COVID booster shots were just approved for use as protection against variants.
