The Variant "vanquishes all variant rivals","has knocked the Biden administration.."
Caution, source is MSM and report is still using WHO assigned controversial name that overlaps with name of the second largest US Airline.
'The Variant' apparently also "has knocked the Biden administration back on its heels" :
‘Goldilocks virus’: Delta vanquishes all variant rivals as scientists race to understand its tricks

The variant battle in the United States is over. Delta won.
Angus Mordant/Bloomberg News An ambulance Aug. 4 in Joplin, Mo. The state has been a hot spot for covid-19 cases as the delta… Since late last year, the country has been overrun by a succession of coronavirus variants, each with its own suite of mutations conferring slightly different viral traits. For much of this year, the alpha variant — officially known as B.1.1.7 and first seen in the United Kingdom — looked like the clear winner, accounting for the majority of cases by April. In second place was iota, B.1.526, first seen in New York City. A few others made the rogue’s gallery of variants: gamma, beta, epsilon.
Then came delta — B.1.617.2. It had spread rapidly in India, but in the United States, it sat there for months, doing little as the alpha advanced. As recently as May 8, delta caused only about 1 percent of new infections nationally.
Today, it has nearly wiped out all of its rivals. The coronavirus pandemic in America has become a delta pandemic. By the end of July, it accounted for 93.4 percent of new infections, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The speed with which it dominated the pandemic has left scientists nervous about what the virus will do next. The variant battles of 2021 are part of a longer war, one that is far from over.
Delta is sending thousands of people into hospitals every day and has knocked the Biden administration back on its heels. In a few short weeks, the delta variant changed the calculations for what it will take to end the pandemic.

Delta Air Lines refuses to use the name of the delta variant: 'We just call it the variant"
