The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Tuesday that fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors in areas with high transmission as COVID-19 cases continue to rise and vaccination rates wane.
CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said new data shows the delta variant, which accounts for more than 80% of the new infections in the U.S., behaves uniquely differently from its predecessors and could make vaccinated people infectious. Information on the delta variant from several states and other countries indicates that in rare occasions some vaccinated people infected with the delta variant after vaccination may be contagious and spread the virus to others, Walensky said in announcing the new guidance, a reversal of what the CDC recommended in May. This new science is worrisome and unfortunately warrants an update to our recommendation.
pastors who have followed COVID protocols, calling them: ‘A bunch of pastors talking about how much they want to see people heal, and they’re afraid to baptize people because of a Delta variant – I’m sick of it.
‘I don’t need to be a jerk for Jesus, but I’m not going to kowtow down to a wicked godless culture.’

In Louisiana, where just 36.5 percent of residents have been vaccinated for COVID-19, the state’s Department of Heath held a noon media update yesterday to announce 4,032 new cases of the disease had been reported in the state within the last 24 hours. Think about that; it s incredible. Further, 20 died on Monday alone as a horrifying “perfect storm” is spreading across the South after slamming Florida.
The recipe? Mix one part of the delta variant, then slowly stir in the states with the lowest vaccination rates in the country. Lastly, apply the abandonment of social distancing, hand washing and masks. While the South has been as steady as a big rock in a shallow pond, the cry “enough is enough” is a symphony to evil ears.
