It only took ONE YEAR for people to turn fascist. One. Freaking. Year.

This phrase "breakthrough cases" needs to go away. No anti-viral vaccine stops infection. It's not like an antibiotic. Christ, that's high school biology right there. And I never disagreed that vaccines prevent symptoms from becoming deadly. In fact, I've maintained all along that the only thing vaccines do is stop you from dying. That means that if you continue to run around like it's not there, *you're going to catch it.* Period. Full stop. There will be a period of time where you are spreading it but you likely won't know it. There's a word for that: super-spreader. Further, in one of those sources: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/delta-infections-among-vaccinated-likely-contagious-lambda-variant-shows-vaccine-2021-08-02/ >The Lambda variant of the coronavirus, first identified in Peru and now spreading in South America, is highly infectious and more resistant to vaccines than the original version of the virus the emerged from Wuhan, China, Japanese researchers have found. >In laboratory experiments, they found that three mutations in Lambda's spike protein, known as RSYLTPGD246-253N, 260 L452Q and F490S, **help it resist neutralization by vaccine-induced antibodies.** Two additional mutations, T76I and L452Q, help make Lambda highly infectious, they found. In a paper posted on Wednesday on bioRxiv ahead of peer review, the researchers warn that with Lambda being labeled a "Variant of Interest" by the World Health Organization, rather than a "Variant of Concern," people might not realize it is a serious ongoing threat. It's vaccine resistant. Delta is tearing though all kinds of places and lambda is about to make massive waves and this lambda variant is going to mutate and become even more resistant, possibly more deadly with a shorter incubation period (lambda's incubation period is already the shortest yet).
