We’ve heard a great deal about the new “Delta variant” of COVID-19, which is being hyped around the world as a major threat. It’s said to infect even people who’ve been vaccinated, and has even led some areas to reimpose mandatory masking and other precautions.
Trouble is, the symptoms of the Delta variant are indistinguishable from plain, ordinary, seasonal hay fever. The fact that the Delta variant was identified precisely during hay fever season in the northern hemisphere makes me suspicious, to put it mildly. Is it possible that the powers that be, desperate to hold onto their illegitimate emergency powers seized willy-nilly during the first COVID-19 outbreak, have invented the whole Delta variant schemozzle? If not, is it at least possible that the Delta variant is a less harmful variant than earlier ones, and is being hyped up as a political excuse? One writer went so far as to describe it as “panic porn dressed up as science“.
I simply don’t trust the authorities any longer to be straight with us about this disease and its ramifications, mutations and variations. They’ve been caught lying so many times, and the consequences of their decisions have been so disastrous for our economy, that they’ve clearly departed the plane of reality and are living in cloud cuckoo land. As was pointed out some time ago:
The only demonstrable result of government-imposed COVID-19 lockdowns has been the destruction of national economies, the crippling of domestic and cultural life, the suffering and death of multitudes due to untreated prior medical conditions, and the drastic rise in suicide rates. The lockdowns themselves have seemed to do little to prevent the onset of the disease, hence one lockdown after another has led to no discernible effect … A recent graph charting the effects of repeated lockdowns in the province of Ontario would appear to indicate that the lockdowns themselves are super-spreaders. Texas Tech professor Gilbert Berdine sums up: “After taking the unprecedented economic depression into account, history will likely judge these lockdowns to be the greatest policy error of this generation.”
The same applies, mutatis mutandis, to the mask mandate, somewhat less destructive but equally absurd … In fact, masks do not screen out (or keep in) viral microns averaging 100 nanometers in size; the weave of all masks, with the partial exception of the medical N-95, is far too large to repel the coronavirus particle, which varies between 60nm and 140nm. Further, masks may cause hypoxia and consequent immune deficiency through the ingestion of one’s own CO2. It gets worse. A 50-state-wide controlled study showed that there is no correlation between mask mandates and fewer cases. On the contrary, there is a reverse correlation: non-masking states and counties did better than their masking counterparts.
Well done, our leaders – NOT!
We’ve seen that the official death toll due to COVID-19 has been so grotesquely falsified that it’s completely untrustworthy. The response coordinator for the White House coronavirus task force stated for the record that “The federal government is classifying the deaths of patients infected with the coronavirus as COVID-19 deaths, regardless of any underlying health issues that could have contributed to the loss of someone’s life.” There was the classic case in Florida where a person who died in a traffic accident was initially classified as a COVID-19 death, because the virus was found to be present in his bloodstream during the autopsy. If the Governor hadn’t queried it, it might not have been noticed or corrected. In Portugal, the death toll turned out to be less than 1% of what had been officially claimed. Does anyone else get the feeling that we’re being played for suckers?
One can’t help but suspect that the current brouhaha over the Delta variant is yet another attempt by the powers that be to scare us into obeying them yet again, despite our having seen very clearly that they’re not worth obeying. They don’t know what they’re doing, and it shows. The unmasking of Dr. Fauci as a serial liar, and the authorities’ deliberate refusal to allow the spreading of information about the (very real) success of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin in treating COVID-19, make me a whole lot less trusting of their motives and intended outcomes.
I can only suggest that we read up about the matter for ourselves, and respond accordingly. My response is likely to be a middle finger, raised as elegantly as possible in the direction of those who are trying to panic me over the COVID-19 cliff.

Fool me once… (they didn't).
"The fact that the Delta variant was identified precisely during hay fever season in the northern hemisphere makes me suspicious, to put it mildly."
Yes. Exactly what I thought. Unexplained sneezing, now a symptom of COVID-19
Pull the other one.

Oh, SURELY they wouldn't do THAT!!!! (sark, off.)
SSDD – I thought the same thing when I saw the chart of 'symptoms' during the first-go-round. Reads like an asthma attack and/or upper respiratory allergies. And who dreamed all this up? Some guy associated with U.S. National Institute of ALLERGY and Infectious Diseases. What's his name? Aha…Fauci, that's it; that dishonest individual, to paraphrase Barry Goldwater.
And I'm not dismissing any virus but getting hysterical about it doesn't help. There needs to be a dramatic cultural shift about being in public when honestly sick.
Video blogger Ivor Cummins, an Irish biochemical engineer who spent many years in the pharmaceutical industry, did a video in the last week that showed that as the number of cases went up due to the "Delta Variant" the numbers of hospitalizations and deaths have continued to decline. It may be more infectious, but it's less serious than the first waves. Which really weren't that serious.
Data from the UK but the trends should apply anywhere.

I would point out that there was a correlation between mask/no mask and urban/rural settings, and disease spreads less easily in rural areas than urban ones.
Cities are not healthy places, one of the things that the rabid urbanizers do not seem to grasp.
Anyone who believes a word coming out from our commie "government" is somewhere way below the moron level. I would trust Russia or the CCP more than Fraudci or Biden.
My aunt is listed as a "COVID-19" death.
She was 93 years old, and had been in a full care nursing home for almost 3 years.
In Sydney, a delta variant infection leapt a full metre from one person and infected another as they were merely passing by, according to our health experts.
I'm betting that the epsilon version will be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Watch the recent interview with Dr. Michael Yeadon on rumble. Fantastic explanation of why the variants are a fraud, the virus is an exaggerated scam and the experimental drugs are too dangerous to give to anyone below the age of 80.
Hey Peter;
When I see that the "Delta Variant" is dangerous to the unvaccinated and to those that have had covid but not the ones that have been vaccinated , my B.S detector starts to redline…..
Any more restrictions will get a middle finger from me, and a notice to suck my dick. I'll buy a special one for the occasion, and dip it in distilled ghost pepper juice.
Yup, suspicious here too…
Remember the hype about the South African/ British variant a few months ago? That turned out to be nothing? I assume this will be the same…
