Does the Delta Variant of COVID scare you?

[Qdbrown]

The media is making out this is some scary form of the virus we have never seen, and should fear it? Do you?

[Starrisunset]

I think the media is hyping it up and trying to make it seem really scary. They acted like original covid-19 was going to kill anyone and everyone who caught it. Now this comes along and it's way easier to catch. But they said in order to stay safe from original covid we needed to wear masks, preferably gloves and not get any closer than 6ft apart. What's the new standard for this one 12ft is too close or you'll catch it? Then what happens when the next strain comes along. No more than one person in a room together?

[Qdbrown]

Seems like the media is hyping big time. Like all these Midwest cities are being overran with Delta, but the local governments are not locking down.

The media then ends with how irresponsible it is that Americans are not getting the shots, to risk causing another variant, but all these variants are from abroad, where other countries want shots, but can't get supplies.

It's not a real tight plot, or well thought out.

[Starrisunset]

Exactly. I'm not buying it one bit. They want everyone scared. I've been seeing lots of new studies that say the "covid vaccination" is keeping people from getting this new strain. I think it's still about pushing fear and pushing people to get the vaccine. So many people haven't gotten it, they need to find new ways to trick people into taking it.

[Starrisunset]

which frankly I'm not interested in taking anything the government is trying so hard to push people into taking. 9/10 times it seems the side effects are worse than the actual virus. Let alone potential side effects that'll be linked back to this vaccine 5 or 10 years from now

[YOLOIFIC]

4 million dead in 18 months if you think that’s “hyping it up” can say I think that rational. Plus who is “they” today they is now some boogie man when people can’t make a rational argument against something.

I don’t trust them, they push x. If you can’t even bother to at least spend a millisecond online to figure out who is irrationally coming after your without any proof at all why should anyone take anything you spew out about “they” seriously?

The side effects of the vaccines are already know, soreness at the injection site, minor fatigue, light fever, possible allergic reaction to specific people. So if the vaccines has a small risk of blood clot or stroke in certain women but it’s very low less than hormonal birth control pills.

Maybe you meant the unintended health consequences down the road that might or might not exist. The same goes for air, water, food, cosmic radiation, and everything else in life.

Why choose one thing to irrationally fear despite no proof but be okay with exposing yourself every second of sever day to things that are causing unknown health problem that won’t be discovered for year or maybe even decades.

That’s a piss poor excuse nothing more, you walk across the street who knows how many times a day. Yet you can be sure a meteor won’t fall and hit you in the head suddenly which is far more plausible than a unknown health problem from any vaccine including the COIVD-19 vaccines.

Meanwhile the actual short term and long term side effects of COVID-19 are far worse than a potential and entirely speculative false narrative of “vaccine side effects” are know. Respiratory problems, respiratory failure, death. On top of that you got the numerous cases of long term neurological and physical effects on patients that’s just being discovered since it’s a novel virus.

It’s like people saying “what about the person who burns to death in a car crash because the seatbelt get’s stuck”. SMH

[YOLOIFIC]

It this kind of abjectly absurd and irrational nonsense that almost makes me wish people didn’t have the right to make health decisions for themselves when it also affects the public.

Sadly such broad authority is too much for any person or government to wield but the consequences of that is millions upon millions of innocent and preventable deaths out of pure stupidity.

It’s one thing to question authority and be skeptical. It’s another to irrationally question authority and refuse to listen to any objective facts you dislike or disagree with.

#rant done, get fucking vaccinated asshole.

[Starrisunset]

@YOLOIFIC lmao why do you even care? 🤣🤣🤣why am I an asshole if I choose not to get vaccinated? If you get it you're protected right? What's the point of even getting it if it doesn't protect you from the virus? I should be allowed to roll the dice and take the chance if I don't want to inject my body with something I don't know a lot about yet

[YOLOIFIC]

Why do I care? It my kids or family you can’t kill with you’re irresponsibility. Possibly even myself, less likely but possible.

Plus why is this becoming a “I got to validate my feelings” you can’t refute what I said?

Sorry you don’t understand medicine, vaccination build immune response by creating antibodies for a virus that causes communicable disease. It does provide protection, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to contract, spread, or even die from the disease. Just lowers these risks significantly.

Plus again COVID-19 is a novel virus ebb if I’m asymptomatic vaccinated or unvaccinated there are medically identified long term medical complications that have arisen.

So yeah, you’re an asshole for endangering the lives, health, and economic stability of millions if not hundreds of millions of your fellow citizens/subjects depending where you’re ignorant ass lives.

You can roll the dice with your life as much as you want. You have no right to roll the dice with mine or anyone else which is what you’re doing.

You don’t want a proven safe injection authorized the FDA for emergency use to protect all of us from a lethal and contagious virus.

I don’t want you killing me with the virus you way or may not even know you ever contracted and pass on to me and others.

You’re talking temporary inconvenience verses losing human life. Glad yo know you value your ignorance over other people’s lives. You’re either obtuse to the point of senility or one of the most selfish mass murders in modern times.

Same with the shutdowns, I disliked them. I though my Governor overstepped his legal bound under our states laws. He didn’t get the continued consent of the Council of State as required under state law but at the end of the day they made a call to save lives.

It suck, it wrecked havoc on many people economically but you can make money you can’t bring people back from the dead. Same here, individual discomfort can’t justify placing everyone else in mortal peril.

[YOLOIFIC]

This is like a drug addict saying it’s a victimless crime and they should be able to do with their body as they wish. My ass that selfish asshole is victimizing every single one of us by abusing drugs which being violent drug gangs and cartels into our communities to feed their chosen criminal lifestyle.

I’m not with sympathy for addict, just like I’m not without sympathy that you’re unsure what to do for whatever reason. The problem for but the addict and you the vaccine denier. We have proof, tangible irrefutable scientific proof that you both can get the help you need to stop victimizing you’re self and everyone else around you you’re irresponsible behaviors are harming every second of every day.

You’re right end at your nose, live out the rest of the pandemic in full medical isolation or inside some suit that ensures only you’re exposed to whatever you’re breathing or coughing out and I’m sound as a pound as long as you’re paying for those expenses out of pocket.

Just liken if a drug addict gets themself into rehab and becomes a productive member of society no longer using illicit drugs. Welcome back into the fold with open arms and absolutely zero animosity at all.

[Starrisunset]

Lmao are you seriously comparing not getting this vaccine to being in a violent drug gang, wtf 🤣 I'll give it to you, you're pretty entertaining. My selfish ass got up and worked everyday during this "pandemic" I didn't take an unemployment or milk the government for free money. I was in a factory, wearing that mask in 100 degree heat putting myself at risk by being around my coworkers everyday. I can almost guarantee I've been exposed to this virus already and I was lucky and didn't have any serious issues from it. But now... after being around a bunch of people for the last year and half i get to take this vaccine the government is trying so hard to push on everyone. No thanks.

[YOLOIFIC]

Yes, both are behaviors asshole say doesn’t hurt anyone but them and both are lies that get innocent people needlessly murdered.

If you can’t follow that, may take a logic refresher so something.

Do you want a gold star you went to work lien myself and tens of millions of other adults that don’t murder people out of ignorance? You don’t get a reward for doing what’s morally expected of you.

You are not at risk by working in 100F best with a mask liar. Try 130F with 200 lbs of body armor and you’re not in a factory but a desert battlefield.

You want sympathy for risking you’re life actually risk your life asshole. Especially to someone that spend a year literally going out on the highway to hell 7 days a week to keep our men and women armed and feed. Victim card denied.

Doesn’t matter if your can guarantee you’ve been exposed or not (which if only possible it an antigen test) you still need a vaccine per the CDC and WHO to ensure full immunity to the stain you might of alters had AS well as the delta and other variants thou HAVE not had yet asshole.

Your right to refuse, for now and hopefully it can stay that way but who knows with so many like you killing people. That’s 100% irrelevant no matter how polite you’re disrespectful ass pretends to be out of your misguided self righteousness, you’re still an ignorant mass murdering asshole.

Now again, show me FACTS not your incoherent ratings and opinions based in your personal delusions. Show my the CDC recommendation that you’re fine because you think you had COVID-19 last year or this year.

Do that I’ll apologize and admit I’m the asshole here. Even better 2 for 1 find a since peer reviewed medical study that any (it even all just one, even though you have no rational resin to refuse even if there is one safe vaccine) of the existing COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe abs wouldn’t be administered to people.

I’ll again apologize. Show facts, please asshole.

[YOLOIFIC]

@Qdbrown

The 4 states that never locked down were in the mid west IIRC plus the CDC hasn’t called for lockdowns or mask mandates like it did last year because it’s not the same as last year.

We lack herd immunity because of vaccine denial but we’re still not going to see the same surges we say before especially since our most densely populated areas have much higher rates than rural.

Again a stupid arbitrary and irrational piece of nonsense that people have decided to take public health and make it into a red verses Blue political issue.

[Starrisunset]

@YOLOIFIC Whatever dude. I don't have time to argue with you. I'm not trying to play victim. I'm just stating the facts. I worked with 500 other people for over a year before the vaccine became a thing. I would guarantee if this virus spreads as easily as we've all heard that it does I've already had this virus. Your body makes antibodies too. I'd rather use my body's natural defense against this thing. Go ahead and be mad tho. If you've had the vaccine and still manage to get it, it isn't suppose to be life threatening or even severe. That's the whole point. So calling people an asshole because you could get a cold seems pretty ignorant to me. If you have the vaccine and you're still in a life threatening situation from this virus, what was the point of the vaccine anyways? Call me crazy but that's the way I see jt.

[YOLOIFIC]

Sorry if you’re upset, you don’t have facts you have “pity me” because lord forbid you had to WORK! Like 70% of adults and your job wasn’t risking your life. That’s a victim card and a really stupid one to play too.

I guarantee and unlike your guarantee mine actually mean something befuddle it’s based in science not arrogance. Unless you got a positive antibody test you didn’t contract COVID-19 at any point and again if your job was following CDC guidelines and state regulations you’re risk to exposure with masks and social distancing was moderate to low.

Again science backed up by data not trying to claim adulting means your immune to criticism.

I agree calling an asshole an asshole isn’t warm and fuzzy at all. Never said I’m here to kiss your ass, I’m here to help you fix you’re malfunction caused by self imposed ignorance about the irrefutable medical facts toe still refuse to accept.

Seatbelts can guarantee you can die in a collision, so by your logic what it the point of seatbelts anyway?

If a fire extinguisher can’t guarantee guarantee to put out a fire what is the point of having one in the kitchen?

Same reason getting vaccinated despite the fact it’s only 90% effect matters. Without out it the odds are much further against you and more importantly maybe the first in your kitchen is small but it spread to someone else’s house and they all burn to death.

Now you’ve negligently cause the preventable deaths of other people. Maybe that doesn’t matter to assholes like you. That’s what your seem to be saying if you read between the line.

You’re not crazy, just an asshole. What you see is your own colon because you refuse to pull your head out of your ass and breath for a second.

It would be like going to the ER with a deep cut. They doctor saying, we need to stitch this up so your don’t bleep to death and you saying. I’ll take my chances. At lest then it’s just you killing yourself and no one else. Darwinism at work.

[Starrisunset]

@YOLOIFIC oh ok, that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up. I completely agree with you now 😊 I'll just sit here and do exactly what the government and people like you tell me to do. Thank you sir this has been really eye opening 😊 have an amazing day. Best of luck to you and all of your future endeavors.

[YOLOIFIC]

Why not you do what uneducated people on the intent say to do why not listen to someone that actually dedicated their adult life to studying medicine and virology and immunology instead do a guy or call selling herbal medicine in the internet.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Disclaimer: Yes, I’m being facetious as shown just like you. I mean if you’re insisting you’re completely free of any outside influence at ALL and have rationally came to your point of view based in evidence not opinions I’ll eat my shoe.

You’re just an asshole who doesn’t give a single duck about anyone but yourself it appears. For whatever reason hopefully ignorance not this idiotic partisan rhetoric out there that many are citing.

But doing it you’re give the talking point like Biden or Trunp and his teleprompter

I wish you would stop being fake and stop being obtuse. You’re future is irrelevant

[blank_expression]

Nope, before covid went mainstream, I was sent into a hot spot, Jan 2020 and caught it. It was at its strongest and I suffered moderately and now I have the anti-bodies. I was a bit concerned when I realized I was sacrificed to do a job, but I developed an attitude. Now I say it isn’t bad, all you do is die, pfft. The constant worrying is worse than the death itself, F-it. I believe the covid, vaccines and now the variant are all a fraud to keep us in fear and have control over us. Yes, it kills and so does the flu. I do not believe anything on the media so much so, that I cancelled all feeds and now that Fox is doing weather, I wouldn’t trust the weather at all either.

[Gomezaddam51]

No what scares the crap out of me is the shots. Instead of the 12.5% chance of miscarriage that the government tells you about, the real number is actually 82% of pregnant women who get the shot miscarry. And then there are all the other side effects that no one tells you about. There is a FB group of several thousand people who have had family suffer severe damage from the shots. I could post a bunch of links to articles that the government wants to keep silent about the shots and the damage they do to the human body.

[AcadiaJ]

I just lost my cousin in the States she had a massive stroke and died the next day. She was healthy and a nurse but she did smoke. I feel the shots killed her.

[midnightmoon05]

No. Not at all.
ad long as we follow the basic rules since child hood from our parents - wash hands. Don’t put it in mouth. Follow good hygiene, build a strong immune system... you’ll be fine.
They are trying to scare people and blame those who are not vaccinated to get it ASAP.

[TwoowT]

Didn’t even know about it until now. I don’t waste my time watching the news because these lies will never end any time soon. So, instead of getting depressed from the news repeating the same thing over and over again 24/7 and make people sick. I do believe in the virus because my family got it but media needs to chill out a bit about these things and let people live their lives with taking precautions instead of scaring them day & night.

[midnightmoon05]

It’s call brain washing.
Haven’t own a tc over 20 years. don’t need it. Like you said, wasted of time watching no nonsense.

[TwoowT]

@midnightmoon05 And they did it now almost 60% people around the world are brain washed and they’re trying with the remaining 40% of people.

[Chthou95]

No. Even with the orginal covid 19, i said it was overhyped. The media loves fear mongering and of course sheep that don't think about things critically rush to get the vaccine. And of course there's a new strain and how convenient that now if you have the vaccine you'll be safe. Fuck outta here

[genericname85]

no. it just makes me wonder at which point people will finally realize that this entire bllshit is just a huge scam. of course corona viruses exist and of course people will die. there's no need for the govenrment to kill the economy for that. i'm shocked that people have gone as far as they did without rioting and shutting down the government by force.

[Levin]

The most frightening thing is the oncoming tyranny, and the levels of stupidity humanity is capable of sinking to, which hasn't even started yet.

I'm not scared of a fucking virus, an alleged variant, based on extremely dubious scientific methods.

[Jaumet]

Since I am fully vaccinated with Comirnaty and since that currently has the best percentage overall of making sure that I would not even get sick enough to have to be admitted into a hospital... Nope, I did not get those two jabs for nothing and thus I am not in the least bit scared of the Delta Variant of Covid. Now, those of you who decided not to get vaccinated... so sad too bad.

[YOLOIFIC]

Define “scare” is it concerning yes, is it causing me to ignore the CDC and/or WHO out of irrational fear? No, stick with the CDC and/or WHO. They’re not perfect but it’s the best credible source you can get at this time unless someone can provide compelling credible evidence to the contrary that’s their data isn’t accurate.

[Bee-Hatch]

Nope. It's the lunatics that can see such a huge death toll, a global pandemic and the scientific advise and date, yet they start spreading dangerous lies that scares me.

[goaded]

It spreads quicker, that's all, so it's important to get vaccinated as soon as possible (which was probably last month).

Vaccinations map

2020 Election Map

[420Rachel]

Not really no. Unless it turns people into The Thing. 😱 Now that would be a scary virus.

[MCheetah]

Not if it turns them into the Fantastic Four hero.

[BeMuse]

Delta Victor huh... Sounds like someone's boat is sinking... I wounder if the captain will go down with the ship...

[JDavid25]

No more than some new Flu strand.. The media is doing the work of the medical beauracrats.. Like, when they said that according to the CDC mask worked.. When if you look at the actual CDC study mask hardly did anything..

[Smashingdoozy]

I am fully vaccinated so I have less of a chance of catching it and having servere symptoms so I'm not too worried though I'm still cautious.

[Alyssa11]

Yeah it’s spreading like crazy around here... I’m vaccinated but I hear you can still catch it. I don't know I’m also sick and tired of this damn virus. I just want to live my life.

[0112358]

It's more transmissible among people with one dose. Based on that they stepped up second dose speed in my area which had some delta. Like most things covid related it calls for prudent risk management, not panic or ignoring.

[PinkMichae]

No. From what I've heard on it is it may be more contagious but weaker than the other covid-19 strains. So most won't get bad symptoms.

Also I'm vaccinated and the vaccine is protecting people against the Delta Variant.

[Sabretooth]

not really: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJKWhUOJR50

[ShineDJJ]

I wasn't scared of the original Sars-CoV-2, and I'm not scared of this one.

[JoeyRock]

What I'm scared of is people thinking they are immune or being reckless when there's a pandemic going on.

Whatever the virus mutates into it's all because of them.

[Anonymous]

No because I can see through the bullshit and I understand the hidden agenda. Im also not a pussy

[RealMarek]

Sounds like a great opportunity to shut down small businesses so global corporations can gobble up even more marketshare.

[Surely]

Since the current administration is allowing COVID-19 to walk in across our southern border unchecked. Either they want to reduce the population or it really isn’t as bad as they would like us to believe.
Tired of hearing the doom and gloom!

[Wade8888]

It doesn't scare me.

However, It should definitely scare the fools who haven't been vaccinated yet.

[Paris13]

I am Not hearing as Much About this as the Other One from last Year, Dear----Covid. Just mask it!!! xxoo

[Anonymous]

Not me directly, but the world in general, especially places where not sufficient people are vaccinated yet (like parts of the US unfortunately). It is more contagious, so can spread quicker with higher change of mutating into something even worse.

[EmbraceThePain]

Well, realistically, no, I don’t feel fear from it as i don’t think I will acquire it based on my lifestyle and where I live.

[Ryfyle]

Not in the fucking slightest. Absolutely choice pic to use though.

[InferiorElegy]

If death is a risk from something, I tend to not have any fear in it because I have made my peace with death long time ago, however it seems as though even death does not want me.

So no I'm not afraid of the Variant Or the original strain.

[Andres77]

Hell no.
Contrived bs to keep the public in fear.

[Massageman]

Not all that much. We'll just keep what we have been doing - use common sense: don't suck other people's noses, bring your own sanitizer, no halfsies on sandwiches, etc. ;- )

[SmokinAces2000]

I’ll have to do some more research on it but from what I’ve heard it’s not spreading very much

[higheredge274884]

No, very few unvaccinated people die, about as deadly as the flu at that point

[Kaneki05]

Nah i am young and fine, If those are my last words let it be.

[hellacray]

Honestly they really shouldn't give a virus such a cool name.

Delta plus sounds like an airplane or a spaceship.

[tallcuck]

No. Covid kills 1 in a 1000. Hepatitis type C scares me... Ebola scares me... Deadly diseases scare me not covid...

[UnknownGagsUser]

There is a lambda variant strain that even more dangerous than the delta

[Anonymous]

Resistant TB, Hantavirus, Necrotizing fasciitis, Bacteria Meningitis, Histoplasmosis, Leprosy, Clostridium difficile infection, Hepatitis deadly and prevalent diseases and have been around for ever. Short answer, no I'm not worried about any of it.

[friendzoned4life]

You get the shot in your delta muscle

And now there is a delta variant

How do you People still belief it

[msc545]

It's the DELTOID muscle. How stupid can you be?

[bulletbob555]

It does concern me. As being much more catching I think it may cause a big problem for the non vaccinated

[Anonymous]

No but the gamma varient will soon come and be vaccine resistant then would be the omega varient with ultra high transmission and mortality rates of say 80%-90%

[bamesjond0069]

Nope. They lied so much i dont care what they have to say.

[crazy8000]

Not really.
Just like with the first acknowledged version.

[SunflowerCrown]

Yes. Because the world is ready to open back up and pretend like thousands of people didn't just die.

I'm terrified.

[JDavid25]

Most of the deaths were in states that had the most strict rules.. Not to mention many deaths were not even tested for Covid.. So yeah..

[SunflowerCrown]

Not true. At all. People. Living human beings with dreams, goals, and ambitions died. They're not here anymore. They're not just numbers. And it saddens me when people just say stuff matter-of-factly as if these people were just objects.

[JDavid25]

It certainly is true.. We could look at it like that and I agree that they are person and not just numbers, but people die all the time.. And most of the people who died weren't very healthy individuals so how much goals and ambitions they had... We don't know..

[MCheetah]

@SunflowerCrown
Thousands of people die literally everyday... Especially old people. Why are you pretending like COVID has made that a new thing?

[SunflowerCrown]

Honestly, yikes.

[maulstrum97]

No but covid itself doesn't scare me. What scares me is panic from the public

[jirwin7979]

not one bit the first covid just felt like the flu to me

[Pterodon]

Nope I’m fully vaccinated with the Moderna which is 80% effective against Delta

[Anonymous]

Not even the normal covid scared me. All Covid did was waste my time.

[Anonymous]

Yes..."vaccinated" people who are spreading WHO KNOWS WHAT. concern me greatly

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

It's stronger, and easier to catch, so, yes, I do fear it

[taboomaster]

Covid doesn't scare me.

[malik_nyc]

oh fuck now i know i smoked 2 much weed, that pic scared me 😂

[jimmy2]

Its much worse than the COV19 its 60% faster to catch and kilks 50% ftom 19 to 99

[MCheetah]

Can't tell if sarcasm or you're serious. (Some people really are that foolish and not joking.)

[lycanthrope3]

yes, but not nearly as much as people that have no respect for covid

[Anonymous]

No. I think we need some months more until spider head mutation. lol

[pink_and_inlove]

No I think I’m fine I got the two dose shots

[blondfrog]

you won me over with thre thing reference

[MCheetah]

No. I don't watch the news.

[Bhandj]

You don't watch the news... but, you do read it right? I hope that you are not like getting what you know about what is going on in this World... from Social Media! I sorry, I just find that to be odd...

[MCheetah]

I find the downvotes from sheep to be hilarious.

And to reiterate, my comment was meant to be "I don't let mainstream media propaganda scare tactics control me." Not that I don't literally keep up to date with current events. (Although I literally don't watch the news.)

[Bhandj]

Enjoy!

[exitseven]

No, I have been vaccinated.

[loveslongnails]

I suppose we'll find out just how scary it is.

[Iron_Man]

So it turns people into that

[moviedude714]

Not as worried as before since I got both doses

[JesseJayNeak]

No, it's fearmongering
