Chief US epidemiologist Dr. Anthony Fauci believes that further mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus could completely destroy the created vaccines.
The expert believes that the situation may change in the fall, as a result of which the virus will finally overcome the protection provided by vaccines.
Dr. Fauci’s concerns stem from a new surge in coronavirus cases despite the country’s mass vaccination efforts.
The number of new diseases per day already exceeds 90,000 people. At the same time, mortality is also increasing.
Local media, citing the assumption of Dr. Anthony Fauci, write that the United States, epidemiologically, is moving along the path of Great Britain, which has already experienced three waves of the pandemic.
But what the epidemiologist fears most is the increasing danger of the virus and the decreasing effectiveness of the vaccine.
The epidemiologist says that one of the next mutations may be resistant to the created vaccines.
If the outbreak in the US is not brought under control, then within a few weeks the daily incidence rate will again increase to 200,000 cases.
The country is already preparing for the fourth wave of the pandemic caused by the “Indian” strain of coronavirus.
Over the past month, the incidence in the United States has increased by 350%, despite the fact that 70% of Americans have already been vaccinated.
