    The Delta Variant: A legitimate concern or a way to maintain control?

    We've all seen how so much of the population can be influenced and controlled with propaganda and false narratives.

    What do you think? Is all the hype about the Delta variant legitimate, or just the powerful trying to keep control?

    Control. Fear mongering to get more ppl to want to get vaccinated and it’s an awful strategy.

    Yep, people are getting too frisky with everything back to "normal". Time to pull the masses back in...

    24hr News cycle, which trickles down into the local news stations. it's pretty amazing to watch how people just fall in line like zombies.

    Up here they have hyped it. It's a way to get more people scared and run to the vaccine. Even with it being widespread in the UK deaths are very low and they are realizing that now. Every time there is a hope of normality they will bring in some other variant.

    Ioc don't care. Japan is going to a full lockdown with no bars or restaurants open because they have 900 cases a day and less then 25% of the population is vaccinated. Ioc needs it for the tv. 3-4billlion in tv money lost if it doesn't go on.

    Because only a quarter of the population has gotten the first vaccine shot so far.

    No connection.

    When they release the next bio-weapon, no vaccine made by Big Pharma will be able to stop it

    I'm stunned at how Ontario refuses to move forward. Vaccine rates are extremely high here.

    funny how the ones originally adhering to orthodoxy always come around, will still get fooled the next time though and gradually come around again rinse and repeat

    you've got nothing to worry about, as it looks like you, or at least a PART of you, HAS ALREADY BEEN RAVAGED BY THE DELTA VARIANT:






    FROM the looks of that utter devastation, you should have immunity for, say, about 1,000 years.......

    I thought covid was way worse than it actually is. I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong this is bullshit.

    I wonder what would happen if something more severe like Ebola or something similar broke loose in the states. I think we will see something like that in our lifetime.
