You can’t answer my questions and you blindly follow your preferred source while chastising others for the same. Where’s the aggression it’s only words? You might feel threatened that I’ve challenged your bs, but it’s on you to prove otherwise.
I never said I don’t trust anything, you seem a bit ignorant trying to box me in.
How is the cdc monitoring the variant? Is it aggressive to want to understand their method? why so secretive about it? It’s 101 math to show your work, wait that’s racist now right?
There’s no test for delta yet the cdc is monitoring it...

Why is it so important to know what variant everyone has?
Yet the calls for more vaccinations despite their failings grow, and the need to coerce others into subjecting themselves to an experiment only grows. It seems the pro forced vax crowd are threatened as their precious injections fail to protect them.

I think we are starting to get to the point where the only things left now are clutching at straws.
As time goes by more and more of the predictions fail or get new timelines.

Jesus, what was the question I'm not answering? lol

You said you do not trust the Goverment or CDC, how about the 96% of all doctors who are vaccinated. I can't read your mind, so you will need to help me here.

I said there is no test YOU can take that YOU would know what variant it is.
The CDC and many other labs can take your snot and genetic sequence the virus to see which one it is. They do this by sampling all over the place to get a good idea what variant is active.
I said the sampling is just basic math...For a population of 330,000,000 you need a sample size of 2654 to get a confidence level of 99% +- 2.5%. For a sample size of 384 you would get a confidence level of 95% +- 5%. So you really do not need a huge amount of testing to know what variant is active.

It came from the idea the unvaxxed are super spreaders and somehow harmful to the vaxxed. There was a pretty loud narrative for that. The response was the vaxxed are more likely to be super spreaders as they forgo covid protocol believing they have become immune. Which many were told and believe and still believe.
Where the narrative came up the vaxxed couldn’t spread covid, contract covid, or die from covid came was from the cdc biden and the news cabal. When they changed the narrative to it only lessens symptoms but is still demanded for social norms like having a job is worthy of looking into, don’t you agree?

Do you know what sample group was used for the 96% of doctors? 300 of them? Crap study worthy of dismissal. You don’t care to follow up on how data is derived, just enjoy headlines it seems.
I also did not claim I don’t trust the government, again you put words in my mouth to deflect.
you keep putting words in my mouth. And your math while shown, does not make for a good sample size. Now remember when doctors used to suggest smoking cigarettes? Smoke camels? Surveys are made to “prove” an idea, you’re welcome to live with your idea, which is until you prove otherwise to me, the mainstream vax up and shut up.

I also didn't claim I followed CNN or FOX but you suggest I'm following their talking points too, a few times... I did ask since you didn't trust the Government, CDC, FDA so on and so forth what do you trust since I can't read your mind, and you never replied.
So back to your sampling of 300...
There are about 900,000 doctors in America so 300 sampling is still about 90% accurate, but I would had gone with 663 to get 99% +- 5%
