There is no evidence that it is deadlier. There is no evidence that the vaccine doesn't protect against it. There is minimal and circumstantial evidence that it spreads faster. If anything, a more contagious but less severe variant is a GOOD thing.

Yet the media is using it to scare us like they've been doing for 2 years.

The medias reaction to it has caused us to bring quarantine back already. Lets hope the same doesnt happen for lockdowns.

The vast majority of the country is vaccinated, the two biggest states are living life as per normal. The biggest story of the century that the media have been sucking off for 2 years has been pitering out, now they're latching onto whatever they can to keep it going.
