    It isn't. They just grab whatever Greek letter sounds cool and use that.

    There is no 'delta variant'. It is not possible to have a variant of a variant.

    The Midterms are coming up. Need to scare people away from the voting booths and send in millions of bogus mail in ballots.

    Yep...they milked six months out of Delta, but they have 11 1/2 months to go until the midterms.

    There will be this new “variant” and probably another after that.

    Gotta keep the sheep nodding their heads and smiling when they see a ballot dropbox on the corner. “It’s so much SAFER this way! Yay!”

    Not to mention all the vaccines we’ll be paying for in the meantime.

    The Chinese ain't playing along with that bullshit, so I'd say definitely not.

    It's a fact the climate changes. As for what man can do about it, that's debatable.

    This is alarming:

    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    The fuck. I’m overdue for the original booster.
    Then I get the delta variant booster.
    Now I need the omicron booster.
    I can’t keep up!

    Well apparently the Chinese think it is. They don’t seem too concerned about it.
