A reader recently asked us: "How do you say delta variant when there is no test for it?" Routine individual tests don’t reveal whether COVID-19 was caused by the delta variant. Scientists use genomic sequencing to determine what percentage of cases were caused by the variant. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden recently said "Ten thousand people have recently died. 9,950 of them, thereabouts, are people who hadn’t been vaccinated."That’s correct based on preliminary data. https://t.co/2KZARSZTFE — PolitiTweet.org

Going deep on the delta variant, one expert told @KHNews: "Having half the population vaccinated and half unvaccinated and unprotected — that is the exact experiment I would design if I were a devil and trying to design a vaccine-busting virus." https://t.co/ESPk0jMqYC — PolitiTweet.org

The Jan. 6 Capitol Riot wasn’t a tourist visit. We fact-checked U.S. Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga, on his claim “if you didn't know the TV footage was from Jan. 6, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit.” Pants on Fire! https://t.co/cvqrTXwmiy https://t.co/WCC1bO4RH9 — PolitiTweet.org
