The following report is from McClatchy DC Bureau:
Coronavirus cases driven by the delta variant are rising in a “very steep fashion” across the United States and may double in the coming weeks to 200,000 cases a day, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday.
The country could be “in trouble” entering the fall unless a large portion of unvaccinated Americans decide to get the shots, with the real possibility a new variant emerges that challenges the effectiveness of existing vaccines, the chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden said in an interview with McClatchy.
What we’re seeing, because of this increase in transmissibility, and because we have about 93 million people in this country who are eligible to get vaccinated who don’t get vaccinated — that you have a significant pool of vulnerable people.
And so when you look at the curve of acceleration of 7-day averages of cases per day, it is going up in a very steep fashion.
Fauci said
As of Aug. 2, the 7-day rolling average of daily COVID-19 cases was 84,389, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The highest number of cases recorded in a single day was 295,880 on Jan. 7. By June 14, reported cases had plummeted to 8,069.
Remember, just a couple of months ago, we were having about 10,000 cases a day. I think you’re likely going to wind up somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 cases.
The Biden administration has referred to the current outbreak as a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” as the vast majority of people hospitalized with COVID-19 have not taken the shots.
Walensky Warns Of “Unvaccinated Pandemic”
But recent data shows that vaccinated people who still get infected with the delta variant also have high viral loads and can spread it to others, even when they aren’t showing symptoms or are experiencing mild disease. “We’re now dealing with, really, a different virus,” he said.
Fauci is hopeful that full approval of Pfizer and Moderna’s two-dose vaccines by the Food and Drug Administration, expected in a matter of weeks, will lead to a “bump” in vaccination rates.
Vaccines take time to work — the two-dose shots are spaced out, and a person is not considered fully vaccinated until two weeks after their second dose — and so the impact would not be immediate to blunt the current surge, Fauci said.
Even if we vaccinated everyone today, we’re not going to see an effect until the middle to end of September.
Risks To The Vaccinated
Fauci said that data shows people infected with the delta variant have viral levels “about 1,000 times higher in quantity” than were recorded in people who were infected with the alpha variant, also known as the U.K. variant, which earlier this year became predominant in the United States.
Studies have emerged in recent weeks indicating that vaccinated individuals are at risk of “long COVID” — a series of conditions associated with infection such as fatigue, shortness of breath and loss of smell that can last for weeks or months — even if they are largely protected from severe illness and death, Fauci said.
We already know that people who get breakthrough infections and don’t go on to get advanced disease requiring hospitalization, they too are susceptible to long COVID. You’re not exempt from long COVID if you get a breakthrough infection.
Despite the extraordinary contagiousness of the delta variant, it can still get worse, Fauci said.
He fears the virus is being given “ample” opportunity to morph even further into a deadlier strain that could diminish the effectiveness of vaccines. Continued spread provides the virus more opportunities to mutate, he said.
If we don’t crush the outbreak to the point of getting the overwhelming proportion of the population vaccinated, then what will happen is the virus will continue to smolder through the fall into the winter, giving it ample chance to get a variant which, quite frankly, we’re very lucky that the vaccines that we have now do very well against the variants — particularly against severe illness. We’re very fortunate that that’s the case. There could be a variant that’s lingering out there that can push aside delta.
If another one comes along that has an equally high capability of transmitting but also is much more severe, then we could really be in trouble. People who are not getting vaccinated mistakenly think it’s only about them. But it isn’t. It’s about everybody else, also.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This morning, Thursday, Fauci also warned on ABC’s Good Morning America, that there is now a spread of “Delta Plus:” a slight deviation of the reported Delta variant. You can see that in the video below. He also dispels the studies that claim a flu shot is effective against Covid.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27
Not with “St. Fauci,” who makes boo-koo bags of cash scaring the snot out of people who have not an ounce of faith.
Regardless, regular WinePress readers know what I am going to say (and I have said it so many times over to the point of ad nauseum, but it must needs be repeated):
The so-called original strain has never been isolated, therefore there can be no variants. Moreover, just a couple of weeks ago the CDC admitted that the PCR test cannot differentiate Covid from the flu properly, and are now alerting clinicians to transition away from that test. You can read about both below:
Fauci, I believe, is giving a nod to what The WinePress has been saying feverishly for a while now: the people that took the vaccines are going to get gravely ill and drop dead as we head into the cold and flu season. I am not going to repeat myself for the sake of time, but the proof of that claim has been documented across many other reports already.

Is God Warning America With The Rapid Death Of Songbirds?
It is NOT because of some non-existent variant: it is because the natural cold and flu season (that has always claimed lives every year I might add) coupled with masses that have had their DNA and cells hijacked and reprogrammed to attack artificial spike proteins, that are in all parts of the body, effectively creating an autoimmune disease.
I cannot be dogmatic, as I still have reservations based on some contingencies I have discussed before, but the entire system of America (and some other nations) could be extremely strained or collapse from too many healthcare workers, police, military, etc., getting vaccinated. Time well tell.
A Hidden Fortress For Rough Times
[1] To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. [2] Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: [3] Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: [4] That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. [5] They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? [6] They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. [7] But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. [8] So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. [9] And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. [10] The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.Psalms 64:1-10
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Vengeance is the LORD’s. But man I would like to punch Fauci right in his face
Fauci needs more than that, Daniel! Even better: a cruel messenger is sent to him with a pistol and blasts so many holes into Fauci’s chest and abdomen he looks like a salt shaker, just as Mark David Chapman did with John Lennon.
(Continued) However I do agree with you, Daniel. Fauci looks like a rat!
