    You are comparing vaccine risks to risk of "infection only"

    Thats laughable given the fact that 99% of under 12 infected barely have any symptoms
    That is absolutely untrue with the DELTA strain.
    So you wish to be called names again heater?

    It's not yet well understood if the delta variant is more dangerous for young children, or if kids are more susceptible to this strain compared to others who are unvaccinated, but doctors have reported a steady increase of Covid cases in children and medical experts have warned about the ongoing dangers of the virus.

    Is there a test for the "delta" variant?

    ^ No one expects Biden to even know where he is tbh. Everyone clearly sees what a fraud administration this is yet the TDS made all you fools vote for communism to be ushered in slowly or somewhat fast tracked.

    Of course there is.
    Its basically same one as the tests for the two other widely spread variants that were most prevalent and the beginning and the middle of this crap. The virus has not changed that much genetically or in its basic proteins. It is still a coronavirus, its still extremely closely related to all the isolated strains. The changes in its mRNA sequence are minor but enough to follow the changes around the world. And apparently the same proteins that were recognized are still recognized by most tests. But all the testing still has some problems like before. And there are still different ways to test for the presence of the virus.

    Biden is a communist?
    Please define a communist and communism.
    He is a conservative democrat. He is not from the raving lunatic fringe of the red team.

    Show me proof there's testing for specifically the variants. Not a test that covers everything because those have been around from the get go and they're still the same old tests. I want a test specifically calling out the variants or else it's all lip service in my opinion. Everywhere I read it's said the tests are the same and can't necessarily differentiate and isolate any variants.

    Biden is a communist?
    Please define a communist and communism.

    Oh yes.
    The red team made very sure the census was going to be accurate only in being much smaller than it really is.
    How can you forget the sham the red team tried to play games with the Census? It was horribly done, cut off early, and is clearly BELOW the actual number of people.

    It is the same test.

    Regarding variants, I believe they use math to calculate prevalence of which variant. They probably sample a small percentage of all the tests they take. Maybe even 1% and use statistics to calculate the prevalence nationwide.

    This is because you still dont have a clue as to the biology of the coronaviruses. These tests will pick up all the variants. In order to determine exactly what variants we have in a population we take many samples and sequence the RNA. The RNA sequencing shows us that the delta variant is 99% of the current cases. The delta has its own specific sequence that DOES NOT vary in the basic areas of the proteins the tests now test for nor the mRNA sequences test for.

    Again, you march headlong into stuff you have no understanding of and sink in the mud.

    You dont want to go down this road because Joe Biden by any real definition of communism and communist is NOT one.

    What is your definition of the word, lets make this easier... the word, YES? What does yes mean, lets start simple so we can see what your new language actually translates to.

    there is a specific test, they run genomic sequencing tests to determine variants. they dont do this for every person's case because it would be expensive and time consuming. but they run them for some sample amounts to get a figure out how widespread it is. right now from those tests its known that delta accounts for something like 80% of cases in the US

    Yes.
    83% if population who has covid, 97% of severe cases. Slightly diff numbers from diff sources.

    So you think the Census is a correct count.

    oh and lol....

    Knowing how it was carried out you think it was right on or an OVER COUNT.
    Seriously?

    The Numbers Start to Clarify

    . The Israeli health ministry has been placing vaccine efficacy somewhere near 40% against infection – vastly lower than the original clinical trials and much lower than other current measurements.

    A UK study in that went through May and was published in The New England Journal of Medicine on July 21st placed efficacy against the Delta variant at 88%, only slightly less than against the Alpha variant.

    But yesterday
    another UK study was released by the Imperial College London which showed substantially reduced efficacy against infection –

    though apparently not hospitalization and disease.

    This study puts vaccine efficacy against all infection at 49% and

    against symptomatic infection at 59%.

    At the same time though

    efficacy against hospitalization and disease still seems to remain robust, at close to the same levels as the original clinical trials.

    That’s obviously great news if you’re main interest is not dying from COVID.

    efficacy against infection seems to be decoupling from efficacy against hospitalization and death.

    For now it simply seems more clear that efficacy against mild infections is significantly reduced against the Delta variant.
