If only they had vaccinated 100% of the world all at once, including all animal reservoirs, these variants never would have emerged in the first place!

> Among regulators, the US Food and Drug Administration is believed to receive the most raw data but does not proactively release them. After a freedom of information request to the agency for Pfizer’s vaccine data, the FDA offered to release 500 pages a month, a process that would take decades to complete, arguing in court that publicly releasing data was slow owing to the need to first redact sensitive information.

Well, at least this article didn't do the usual thing of just completely ignoring the vaccine mandates, which are working far better to reduce the levels of hospital staff than they are to reduce nosocomial COVID infections.

Test positivity rates are through the roof, and wastewater sampling also indicates a huge surge of infections. I don't think this can be that easily dismissed as an artifact of testing.

To add some context to this number, France recorded new confirmed cases (there may be quite a bit more that went unreported) in 0.7% of its total population in one day.
