lambda, lambda, lambda

Lambda is the newest, baddest, more likely to kill us all Covid variant.

With the delta variant some vaccinated people get sick.

That is out of 4% that the vaccine doesn’t cover.

But you don’t get AS sick.

And then lambda busts in the door.

And laughs at the vaccines.

And is resistant to the vaccines.

Or as my husband puts it, ‘Delta is the forward team to take out some of the unvaccinated population.

And lambda is the clean-up crew.’

What’s next?

The variant that will raze humanity and salt the ground?

Pfizer and Moderna can keep churning out boosters and will because it is a profit leader.

But if the unvaccinated people aren’t reached, all they are doing is slowing down the unending march to the end.

To quote H.G. Wells’ novel War of the World, “For so it had come about, as indeed I and many men might have foreseen had not terror and disaster blinded our minds. These germs of disease have taken toll of humanity since the beginning of things–taken toll of our prehuman ancestors since life began here.”
