Why is Will Ferrell in the middle of the COVID 19 Delta Variant controversy?
What do college fraternities, the film Elf, and the COVID 19 Variant have in common? Will Ferrell is involved in all of them. The Delta Variant of COVID 19 is on the rise. The fear of a second wave and lockdown is the first thought that jumps into most peoples heads. Many are also left wondering, where did this variant come from? Why won’t my vaccine protect me from it? Is it more deadly than the last strain of COVID 19? Why do frat boys chew dip?
We can only answer one of those questions for you. We know exactly where this variant came from.
Fraternity Delta Tau Delta and Will Ferrell, the new Bonnie and Clyde?
Each year, college Fraternities and Sororities have a rush, where new recruits are introduced into the fraternity. Once selected, each recruit faces an initiation to become official members of the organization.
One Fraternity, Delta Tau Delta, had shockingly low numbers of recruits last year. With the entire future of the fraternity at stake, they took extreme measures. Will Ferrell, Celebrity Alum of Delta Tau Delta, had the capital and power to help with this world changing tactic.
Knowing that COVID 19 has been the most discussed headline since 2019, piggy backing on coronavirus would help their fraternity grow. If they could spread a new strain of this virus with “Delta” attached, people would be more familiar with Delta Tau Delta by word association.
The Science behind the Delta Variant
Will Ferrell spent hours researching how the Wuhan bat cultivated the old strain of COVID 19. Eventually, he realized that if you caught a single pathogen of COVID 19 and fed it nothing but Red Bull, it became far more lethal. This is the Delta Variant we know today. Ferrell bred many pathogens, then released his large reserve of the Delta Variant.
Will Will Ferrell farewell?
No one knows if Will Ferrell plans to show his face again after this stunt. The 25 new recruit Delta Tau Delta got this year does not balance out the number of lives taken by this new Variant.
