Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country's top infectious disease specialist who funded controversial coronavirus research in Wuhan, China - and is now managing the coronavirus pandemic response for the US government, says the country could be "in trouble" unless everyone who hasn't been vaccinated gets the jab.
"What we’re seeing, because of this increase in transmissibility, and because we have about 93 million people in this country who are eligible to get vaccinated who don’t get vaccinated — that you have a significant pool of vulnerable people," said Fauci, who added that delta variant cases are rising in a "very steep fashion" and may hit 200,000 cases per day. "And so when you look at the curve of acceleration of 7-day averages of cases per day, it is going up in a very steep fashion." No stats from Fauci on who's dying, who's getting hospitalized, or who's the most vaccine 'hesitant' of course.
Scientists in Iceland found 40 mutations of the coronavirus among people with the deadly bug in the country — and that seven infections came from people who attended the same soccer match in the UK, according to a report.
***Oh I wanted to add this in***
“It is interesting with the 40 specific variants that fall into three clusters that can be traced back to specific sources of infection,” the professor said. “Coronavirus is known as a virus that can mutate reasonably violently. We have seen reports of variants from China already. That way, it fits well with what one expects.”

When the 2020 Olympics are finish, then we will have the variant called " 2020 Olympic Variant ".

Makes me wonder, the way Fauci is always talking about this virus mutating to a more lethal form, is it a result of gain of function research?
The likelihood of viruses doing this is much lower than them mutating into something less lethal so that they can live large amongst their host population.

Is this the one from South America? Don’t worry, we already trained for this one and it went really well in the practice scenario at John Hopkins. Event 201, I forgot about that.

As we all know by now, a mutation is a variant. So why are we only focusing on three so far while the people of Iceland have had 40 different fear... I mean variants since last year?

From the same article as above:
“It is interesting with the 40 specific variants that fall into three clusters that can be traced back to specific sources of infection,” the professor said. “Coronavirus is known as a virus that can mutate reasonably violently. We have seen reports of variants from China already. That way, it fits well with what one expects.”
I would say they should just "cut the crap" at this point, but I'm will to bet that a new "Fecal Variant" would be found if Fauci and friends profited I mean did that.

So are they calling the adverse effects and death from the jab, Delta or Lamda? It's getting kinda silly and old now.
