Coronavirus restrictions still apply, not even to fully vaccinated Americans, and “some vaccinated Americans may want to travel, eat inside restaurants. What is the scientific reason that it is not safe for vaccinated Americans to do those things?” This is the question that many Americans have in mind, and it was asked by CNNs this morning. State of the Union hosts Dana Bash Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the president and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Read on to see what dr. Fauci said – and to ensure your health and the health of others, do not miss this urgent news: Here’s how to catch COVID even if you’ve been vaccinated.
Yes, it is possible to get COVID after your vaccination, although it is rare – the CDC recently estimated approximately 5,800 breakthrough infections, out of the estimated 77 million people vaccinated. “Although it is uncommon, we see breakthrough infections,” said Dr. Fauci said. How can this happen to you? There may be a primary vaccine failure, ‘when for various reasons the body does not actually produce an adequate immune response’, he explained, referring to it as ‘immune status, health status, age-related medication you are using, or something wrong’ with the delivery composition of the vaccine . “This is another reason to keep wearing a mask and taking social distance after your vaccination. Keep reading for more reasons.
“The first thing you need to realize is that when you are vaccinated, your risk of becoming infected decreases dramatically and it is very low. The obvious question then is why are there any restrictions?” asked dr. Fauci on CNN, ready to answer his own question: ‘Because one can be vaccinated in a certain situation, have no clinical disease at all, but that you become infected and do not even know it and that the virus repeats in your nasopharynx and accidentally send it to someone else who may not be vaccinated and get sick. This is why you want to wear a mask. ‘
“Then the other reason for wearing a mask is that there are variants that circulate.” Fauci calls these variants ‘a little disturbing … Fortunately for us, the 1.1.7, which is the variant that originated in the UK, our vaccinations are effective against it.’ but others may be more insecure.
Is it ‘safe’ to do things after vaccination? “The problem is that it depends on what you mean by safe and its relative risks,” said Dr. Fauci said. So if people say, well, why can I not go? [here or there]? You can travel. Your risk is really very low. “Why does the CDC discourage travel?” What the CDC says is that it depends on your level of risk that you want to take. The one thing you want to do is be careful that you do not accidentally infect anyone else, or that it is a precarious situation, as we have 70,000, 60 to 70,000 new infections in the community. That’s the point. So we do not want people to think that you do not dramatically reduce the risk of being vaccinated, you absolutely do. The risk is very low and people will make decisions about what they want to do, and that is a relative risk. What risk am I willing to take? ‘
