Good. I hope those fuckers shut down and ruin themselves.

So… just trying to math here…
185 million caught it world wide.
Let's pretend the real cases are 5x that number, so 925 million.
And let's even err on the side of all 925 million getting it and having it at the same exact time and all have even odds of catching it...
That's 12% infected.
If the vaccine is 95% effective, of those 12% that caught it, 95% wouldn't have caught it had they had the shot. You go from 12% chance of infection to .6% chance of infection. Under this new variant and a 50% efficacy... that number is now a 6% chance of catching covid.
It's an absolute maximum 5.4% change in odds of catching covid assuming completely unreasonable assumptions about age and stage of life.
You really want to get crazy, the mortality rate is 1.5% of infections. So the odds of dying go from .009% to .09%. If I were in the press I'd say epsilon covid is 10 times more likely to kill you.

Based on all the athletes who test positive despite being vaccinated, no way the vaccine actually works. Add in the UK has 80 percent vaccinated but still has covid in their country, if the vaccine was actually working that shouldn't be possible.
I'm just waiting a month or two when people start figuring it out.
The vaccine doesn't appear to be effective or safe at all and they write that stupid lie everywhere.

It’s just saline solution.

Saline didn't make my one friend super sick, gave another one shingles and probably sterilized another friend.
I wish I didn't get it but thought I would be forced to for work. That said, my entire house got it last week, except me.
However if they can name it greek letters why can't we just start naming it after actual houses. The Delta Delta Delta variant really goes down easy. The Delta Gamma variant is a bit snobby and attacks rich men. Pi Beta Phi attacks only those who smoke a lot of weed. Would be awesome.

Epsilon variant did not kill itself
Same shit the politicians got during their photo ops. It's amazing we've not heard of any bad results of any politician that took the jab.

Fitting they are using Greek letters since they fucking people in the butt (and arm) with the Wuhan charade.
