This 900-person delta cluster in Mass. has CDC freaked out--74% are vaccinated
An analysis of a COVID-19 cluster of around 900 people in Massachusetts—74 percent of whom are vaccinated—is among the alarming data that spurred the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to reverse course on masks this week.
According to an internal CDC document first obtained by The Washington Post, data on the Provincetown, Massachusetts, cluster showed that vaccinated people carried surprisingly high levels of the delta coronavirus in their noses and throats. More importantly, vaccinated people were found to be spreading the dangerous virus variant to other vaccinated people. Nationwide, the CDC estimated that there are 35,000 symptomatic breakthrough infections per week among 162 million fully vaccinated Americans.
The CDC document overall highlights that delta is extremely contagious—much more so than previous versions of the virus, as well as the common cold or even the seasonal flu. Delta is more in line with the contagiousness of chickenpox, the CDC document said.
US officials should acknowledge that with delta dominating the country, "the war has changed," the document read. Officials who spoke with the Post say that the analyses and the urgency the document contains are what prompted the CDC to reverse its masking guidance earlier this week. The CDC now recommends indoor masking, regardless of vaccination status, in schools, in areas with "high" or substantial" COVID-19 transmission, or when there's contact with vulnerable people, such as unvaccinated children or immunocompromised people.

This gem is the latest hair on fire, we need masks forever or we all gonna die freak out from the DUmmies. Of course, none of them seem to quite know exactly what happened here and it's amusing :panic:

Interesting that vaccinated people are more susceptible to delta variant than unvaccinated people

The city slicker DU keyboard Warriors are afraid to come out and play.

We knew about the delta variant for MONTHS before it got here. Why didn’t Biden take action and keep it out?
Isn’t that what the DUmmies claim Trump should have done?
We’re all going to die and it’s Biden’s fault. He let the most contagious variant in.

Yup. The leftists don't want approval (or at least that's what they'll say); they want your OBEDIENCE.

This 900-person delta cluster in Mass.
another large delta cluster is coming to Massachusetts this weekend...
Former president Barack Obama turns 60 on Wednesday — and he’s celebrating the occasion with a celebrity-studded birthday party this weekend at his family’s oceanfront estate on Martha’s Vineyard.
Axios reported Sunday that 475 guests — including friends, family, and former Obama aides — are expected to attend the party, in addition to upwards of 200 staff who are working the event.
