Whenever they want to sell more masks, medical supplies, vaccines, or test kits, they try to scare people all over again, you can tell by the news you see and hear about how the next mutation is always just a little bit more dangerous than the last, if not much more dangerous.
Life was beginning to return to what some considered dull (pre pandemic) again, and because that would make the people that would otherwise remain in their lines wake up and fight the people looking to make money off anything related to the medical field pretended to get angry and started trying to scare the rest of the population all over again to get them back in line, and unable to think for themselves yet again. The delta variant was just the excuse they needed to shut people's thoughts down all over again.

The latest deadly Covid-19 mutant, suspected to be from Moscow or Crimea, is thought to be more infectious and transmissible than the Delta and the Omicron variants—the Russian “variant of concern” that some scientists in WHO had unofficially christened the “Pi variant” has apparently bypassed most of the protection offered by Sputnik V.
Unverified reports claim that dozens of dead and injured Russian soldiers in Ukraine were already infected with the Putin variant while on their way to invading their neighbor a second time.

A “very dangerous” hybrid of the two highly transmissible Indian and UK Covid-19 strains, whose infectivity, transmissivity, and lethality levels have yet to be unveiled by Vietnam's health ministry.
