Rand Paul Expertly Counters the Hysteria Over the COVID 'Delta' Variant

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.
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.
