Will Biden Use the Delta Variant to Restore COVID Restrictions?
I really hope this isnt the case, but recent events have me wondering. Earlier this week, Joe Biden blatantly lied when he claimed that the delta was deadlier than the original virus in a tweet. Heres the deal: The Delta variant is more contagious, its deadlier, and its spreading quickly around the world  leaving young, unvaccinated people more vulnerable than ever, Biden tweeted. Please, get vaccinated if you havent already. Lets head off this strain before its too late.  The tweet included a video of Dr. Anthony Fauci speaking about the delta variant.

Last week, he called the delta variant the greatest threat to the nations efforts to eliminate COVID. The delta variant is more contagious, that much appears to be true, but more deadly it is not. The World Health Organization (WHO) announced last Friday that fully vaccinated people should continue to wear face masks and practice social distanciing in order to stop the spread of the delta variant of COVID-19. At the local level, were already starting to see people panic about this delta variant. Los Angeles County health officials are now strongly recommending all residents wear masks indoors and in public settings regardless of vaccination status. Its not a mandate yet. As I pointed out despite the fact that in the UK, where 95 percent of new COVID cases are caused by the delta variant, there has been no spike in COVID-related deaths. In fact, the data shows that the delta variant has a much lower case fatality rate (CFR). Dr. Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins told Fox News that he believes that the fearmongering is meant to scare people into getting vaccinated. The Israeli government has now reimposed an indoor mask mandate and quickly expanded its vaccination program to include children ages 12 to 15, reports HuffPost. Roughly 90 percent of new cases in Israel are said to be linked to the delta variant, yet so far, theyve only had a minor increase in cases, and no increase in COVID deaths. On Monday, the Washington Post reported that countries worldwide are reimposing lockdowns and other restrictions because of the delta variant. Im sure thats part of it, but when were starting to see lockdowns happen again despite vaccinations, I think were seeing the groundwork being laid for new COVID restrictions on the horizon. That wasnt a careless mistake. Something is brewing, and I dont trust the Biden administration one bit.
