Rand Paul Expertly Counters the Hysteria Over the COVID 'Delta' Variant
By Bonchie | Jun 30, 2021 1:15 PM ET

It’s been apparent for a long time that those who have benefited the most from COVID hysteria are not going to suddenly let it go now that cases and deaths are waning. Because of that, despite the immense ground gained by vaccinations and the prevalence of natural immunity, the “Delta-variant” of COVID has now taken center stage.

There was always going to be a “next” thing for people like Dr. Anthony Fauci to latch onto. Those magazine spreads don’t write themselves, obviously.

Quote

    Dr. Anthony Fauci on the Delta variant: "If you are not vaccinated you are at considerable risk …"

    "…What you are gonna see among under-vaccinated regions … you're gonna see these individual types of blips. It's almost like it's going to be two Americas." pic.twitter.com/0CEbqsxiAQ

This is reminiscent of Fauci’s failed predictions that Florida would end up an outsized COVID hotspot while at the same time he was praising New York. Florida, which largely ignoring Fauci’s advice, ended up with the 27th ranked COVID death rate in the country despite having the largest total at-risk population (i.e. seniors) by far in the nation.

Of course, Fauci is never made to answer for his prior failures and contradictions. Thus, he’s back on TV fear-mongering about the Delta variant now. The problem is that the things he’s saying aren’t back by scientific data, and for the fact-checkers, being a government bureaucrat does not denote scientific truth.

For example, Fauci claimed a few days ago that the Delta variant is “deadlier.” That’s simply untrue, and Sen. Rand Paul provides the data to prove it.

Horowitz: The Delta deception: New COVID variant might be less deadly

DANIEL HOROWITZ - June 23, 2021

...However, if people would actually look at the data, they'd realize that the Delta variant is actually less deadly. These headlines are able to gain momentum only because of the absurd public perception that somehow India got hit worse than the rest of the world. In reality, India has one-seventh the death rate per capita of the U.S.; it's just that India got the major winter wave later, when the Western countries were largely done with it, thereby giving the illusion that India somehow suffered worse. Now, the public health Nazis are transferring their first big lie about what happened in India back to the Western world.

Fortunately, the U.K. government has already exposed these headlines as a lie, for those willing to take notice. On June 18, Public Health England published its 16th report on "SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and variants under investigation in England," this time grouping the variants by Greek letters.



As you can see, the Delta variant has a 0.1% case fatality rate (CFR) out of 31,132 Delta sequence infections confirmed by investigators. That is the same rate as the flu and is much lower than the CFR for the ancestral strain or any of the other variants....
