The Delta Variant of Covid?

racocn8 comments on Jul 17, 2021:

Delta is a mutated Covid 19. Covid 19 has many dozens of mutated versions, but most of these have been out-competed by the more effectively spreading mutations, i.e. Delta. So far, the vaccines confer immunity that is effective against Delta and the other variants. While the vaccines were developed to act against the original Covid 19 spike protein, the immune system develops receptors to attach to various parts of the spike protein. Thus, mutations in the spike protein reduce the effectiveness of the immune response, but enough immunity remains to quickly recognize incoming virus and mount a defense. New vaccines can be developed against the variants, but as long as the virus is mutating, it is a moving target.

What is not so clear is how the main stream media distort reality in their presentation of the news, mostly by omission and by ridiculously stories that create needless anxiety and prevent meaningful engagement of the public with their government. The character of our media suggests the public is being ruthlessly controlled in what they are allowed to see or think.

racocn8 comments on Jul 10, 2021:

While it is an interesting theory, they don't seem to have any evidence it is true yet. (the theory that covid is being spread asymptomatically by those who are vaccinated). However, for that to be true, the claim is that a vaccinated person can have a sufficiently active case of covid that they can spread it, but without being hospitalized and perhaps not even symptomatic. That seems unlikely. Vaccinated people with immunity are likely to mount a defense too quickly to allow the virus to attain the capacity to spread. Hard to say... The problem is that the Republicans have hyper-politicized the subject (flooded the media with bullshit). It is extremely hard to distinguish factual truths because of the dysinformation. If only justice could prevail against the irresponsible. Nah...
