@WomanVoter What is Delta plus? Is anyone else reporting on this outside of Florida and the Sun Sentenile?

They (U.S. doctors) say they ‘don’t know’, but in India 🇮🇳 doctors seemed pretty panicked about the 3 mutations on the Delta Variant. Delta Plus has been detected in #Florida & in the Bay Area (Santa Clara County) in California.
The American Academy of Pediatricians is sounding the alarm in pushing for emergency approval of the #Pfizer vaccine for children age 5-11. Children 0-4 years of age will have to be protected as if they were premies until their vaccines are approved.
