Meet the Canadian scientist who paved the way for groundbreaking mRNA COVID vaccines | CBC Radio
I wasn't worried about the Delta variant when SSG brought it up but now that Fauci said he's not worried about it.....I'm worried. Dude is always wrong.
Dr. Anthony Fauci on Thursday said he is not worried about the impact the Delta variant of the Chinese coronavirus will have on vaccinated individuals, contending unvaccinated individuals, rather, are “at risk of getting infected with the virus that now spreads more rapidly and gives more serious disease.”
Speaking on NPR’s Morning Edition, the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director spoke about the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) determination to elevate the variant to one “of concern.
... your Breitbart article misrepresented who Dr. Fauci is referring to.
Dr. Fauci is referring to people who have rec'd two vaccinations with the 2nd vaccine being preferably Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccines.
Individuals with only one vaccine shot are approx 33-50% protected against COVID-D.
... when asked if the United States will see “another surge” in coronavirus cases — due to the fact that travel is increasing but just over 50 percent are vaccinated — Fauci said, “not among vaccinated people.”
“You know, we have a disparity throughout the country. Certain states have low level. They will be at risk,” he added.

Y'all remember when SSG said that vaccine lottery & prizes would help get folks vaccinated? I remember it, too. I tried to tell him.

SSG is the only man I know that's wrong more than Fauci.
Million-dollar lotteries fail to cut through vaccine apathy
Prizes and giveaways appear to offer diminishing returns as the number of persuadable adults gets smaller.
State efforts to juice Covid-19 vaccination rates through million-dollar lotteries haven’t reversed the steep decline in adults seeking out shots when many pockets of the country remain vulnerable to the coronavirus.
While Ohio did see a two-week bump in adult vaccination rates last month after becoming the first state to offer sizable cash prizes, the pace of vaccinations there has already fallen off. And states that followed its headline-grabbing example made some small gains without showing evidence of any comparable surge, a POLITICO analysis of federal and state data shows.
“It’s just not working,” said Irwin Redlener, who directs the Pandemic Resource and Response Initiative at Columbia University. “People aren’t buying it. The incentives don’t seem to be working — whether it’s a doughnut, a car or a million dollars.”
States launching the lotteries hoped they could nudge a persuadable group of holdouts to get vaccinated and reduce the risk of new waves of infection in pockets of the country with less protection against the coronavirus. Even as the nation slowly approaches President Joe Biden’s goal to vaccinate at least 70 percent of adults, public health officials have increasingly warned that these areas face a greater threat from the highly transmissible and more severe Delta virus variant, which was first identified in India and now accounts for at least 10 percent of total U.S. cases.
“I certainly don’t see things getting any better if we don’t increase our vaccination rate,” said Scott Allen, co-administrator of the county health unit in Webster, Mo., where an outbreak spurred by the Delta variant has caused daily infections and hospitalizations to nearly double in the last two weeks.
