Delta Variant Spreads as Easily as Chickenpox

8. Next shoe to drop will be CDC backtracking on the need for a booster shot

I'm not surprised to hear that the Delta variant is more contagious than originally thought as well as more serious. The anecdotal stories out there of so many breakthrough infections--people talking about every member of their family getting infected even though all are vaccinated, or everyone in an office being infected, including those vaccinated--it just seems there were a lot more breakout infections than "rare". I think symptoms are more severe in both vaccinated and unvaccinated too. It's just that if you are vaccinated you will avoid the hospital, and if you aren't vaccinated then god help you.

I can guarantee you that the CDC will reverse their initial stance that booster shots aren't needed. I think they know already that booster shots are needed but are holding back out of concern that there won't be enough shots for those still unvaccinated. I say screw that...if people aren't going to get the vaccine don't punish those who did the right thing and want to remain protected.
