    Yes but the Delta variant has evolved so it's more resistant to our immune systems.

    Ooops sorry. I forgot those people don't believe in evolution.

    Abbott tests positive for COVID-19 breakthrough infection

    Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, his office announced.

    The governor's office said it got the positive result after Abbott, who is fully vaccinated, underwent his routine daily testing. He is currently asymptomatic, but is receiving Regeneron's monoclonal antibody treatment,
    which is the same regimen former President Trump was given when he tested positive COVID-19 in October.

    Question: If he's asymptomatic why is he on Regeneron?

    I wonder if the kids who likely tested positive are now in the care of the grandparents?

    I've never wished a man ill, but I have read some positive test results with great satisfaction.

    Must be lovely to be a Patrician. From your throne, you can obfuscate, dissemble, propagandize, and flat-out lie like a rug, doing everything you can to facilitate the spread of a pandemic infection among your fiefdom which you so disingenuously vowed to protect and defend. Then when you actually contract it, your peasants, who you have sheltered from the evils of 'socialized medicine', collectively get the honor and privilege of paying for you to go to the front of the line and get five-star medical treatment, while they languish on gurneys in hallways of overcrowded understaffed hospitals overwhelmed by the disease you've worked so tirelessly to promote.
    You really are one evil son-of-a-bitch.

    Hopefully this variant will burn itself out in a few more weeks like it did in India

    I'm curious as to how vaccinated people are to blame for the Delta surge. But with so many people clinging to conspiracy theories these days it's no big surprise they'd come up with something like that. And it doesn't help that people like Marjorie Taylor Greene are saying that the vaccine isn't very effective. It doesn't matter that 99% of new covid deaths are among the unvaccinated, she and they believe that if you can catch covid after getting the shots then it's ineffective. It also doesn't matter that the vast majority of the vaccinated who catch the Delta variant have mild or no symptoms, if you can still catch covid then the vaccine is ineffective. This is the rigid mindset we have to deal with.

    The U.S. makes up 4.25% of the global population, but is now #4 in the world for Trump Virus orphans.
    1.5 million kids have lost their parents to the Trump Virus. Of those children, nearly 114,000 are from the U.S, which ranks fourth with the most kids orphaned by Trump Virus deaths, behind Mexico, Brazil and India.

    Dead at 35 and 41 years of age because they didn't believe in vaccines...

    In 12 hours Florida mom loses 2 sons who didn't get COVID jab

    A Jacksonville mother is now urging people to get vaccinated after the tragic loss of her two sons to COVID-19

    Lisa Brandon's two sons Aaron and Free Jaggi, 35 and 41, died only 12 hours apart on August 12 and 13. They contracted the virus and double pneumonia, and died 12 days after being admitted to the hospital. Free was reportedly put in a medically induced coma to help him with his symptoms.

    Neither was vaccinated. Brandon and her sons lived on the south side of Jacksonville and said 'everyone got sick in late July.'

    Unfortunately, the two men got severe cases and when she took them to the hospital, both were admitted to the ICU and put on ventilators.

    Breakthrough cases are rare but when they do happen they make big headlines


    Three senators test positive for COVID in breakthrough cases

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Three senators said Thursday they have tested positive for COVID-19 despite being vaccinated, a high-profile collection of breakthrough cases that comes as the highly infectious delta variant spreads rapidly across the United States.

    Sens. Angus King, I-Maine, Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., all said they have tested positive for the virus. Almost every member of the Senate spent long hours together on the chamber's floor last week in an all-night session of budget votes before leaving town for August recess.

    A dear friend of my fathers died yesterday of a breakthrough infection.
    Our county has a population of 10,946.
    There are 1,055 positives.
    Of those, 31 were vaccinated; a breakthrough rate of 2.94%; 97% of the folk testing positive were unvaccinated.

    The vaccines work. Get them.
