As a result of the high amount of coronavirus circulating in the U.S., largely among unvaccinated people, we could be 'just a few mutations away' from a COVID variant that can evade our vaccines, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky warned this week.

July 30, 2021 -- The CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, MD, made a dire prediction during a media briefing this week that, if we weren't already living within the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic, would sound more like a pitch for a movie about a dystopian future.

"What we've mostly seen this virus do is evolve to become more infectious," says Stuart Ray, MD."That is the remarkable feature of Delta — that it is so infectious."-CoV-2 has evolved largely as expected, at least so far."The potential for this virus to mutate has been something that has been a concern from early on."

If this occurs, he says,"we will have an ineffective vaccine, essentially. And we'll be back to where we were last March with a brand-new disease."The flexibility of mRNA vaccines is one potential solution. These vaccines could be more easily and quickly adapted to respond to a new, more vaccine-elusive variant.

And it will be undetectable, have no symptoms, but horribly contagious!!!

Could it be the vaccines are creating the mutants? I believe the medical establishment like Fauc know the answer.

To stop the outbreak of COVID19 and its DeltaVariant or MuVariant, besides keeping masking on and getting fully vaccinated, please follow CDCgov guidance by disinfecting high-touch shared keyboard surface covered by a wipeable barrier.

bullshit lies fearmongering fake propaganda

How do you live with yourself? You are pushing a division between people with the misinformation.

How an unvaxxed may created a virus mutation that evade vaccines? Only the vaxxeds are able to promote mutations that evade it’s own vaccines.

We 'could' be is equal to fakenews

FauciLied

Don't worry, Malaysia is on the case

Covid already evades vaccines. That's common knowledge

So the unvaccinated are under more scrutiny than the meat heads who made the fk'n virus, how ridiculous is that 🤓

Lord send your divine fire on all those enemies of the body of Christ. May it consume all of them and their vaccines and chariots Amen

'The indicated biological mechanism of IVM, competitive binding with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, is likely non-epitope specific, possibly yielding full efficacy against emerging viral mutant strains.' Professor Thomas Borody

Stop posting hypothesis and stick to facts once obtained.

😂🖕🏻

So true—quit being ignorant and get vaccinated people!

More dire predictions....

Reads like a scare tactic. Vaccination should be a choice done freely

🙄

Ick. Hope they make updated boosters soon for the variant already out there. Don't want another lock down.

Some more fake information just to push the deadly experimental drug

Bunch of malarkey. Continuing to use lies and fear to have as many people injected with this concoction. Israel is reporting that 95% of those in hospitals ARE the vaccinated. So stop lying!

You can't stop the plague sent by the most high it's over

Check out dr jane ruby.very informative.

I am confused. Logic would suggest that in order for a mutation to occur that is vaccine resistant some kind of contact with a vaccinated individual would have to occur not an unvaccinated person. How would the virus know what to evade if it wasnt exposed to the vaccine?

Vaccinated people can spread Covid when infected, therefore vaccine evasion has already happened.

Cut out the rubbish and false bullshit you’re feeding these poor people. Vaccinated or not, you are going to catch COVID by design. Scare tactics.

100% correct! I studied virology. It is mutating around the vaccines as your reading this.

More BS, more lies.

Does this change our classification of 'living organisms'? It seems to me this virus hits a new criteria

Who is who in these times? Who knows...read all, keep good.

That's because the true power the true God of the universe is come he sent out the plagues and you can't stop it this is the recompense of what all the other nations outside of Israel done to his people payback time

People that are saying she is lying just don’t know enough about wild type 🦠 viruses that mutates the more hosts for the virus it infects. What will happen is the virus will become more difficult to treat and more people will get sicker! It really is like a wild type HIV virus!

Lies

🙄

Yes that’s science 👍🏼

Fear is a very effective tactic used to control people. Right from a Communist's playbook. Keep up the 'good' work WebMD.

“High” amount? 99% of the country is reporting less then 50/100,000 cases (which seems like are arbitrary number anyways). The same amount that was what was used to open things up. Science doesn’t know math.

STOP . YOUR MEDIA playing OVER Sensationalism😡❗

The vaccinations are poison

Florida's unexpected COVID-19 Delta surge could be prolonged: Infection expertFlorida health officials said that while they expected an uptick in coronavirus metrics over the summer, none predicted the Delta surge to be as significant as it has been across the state. Changes in the death rate is all that matters. All else is political propaganda. Delta was significant in india and uk and now in decline. Read article in ny times about it today. Cases arent deaths. Why get vaccine if you can still catch/spread it and have to follow same vaccine mandates as un vaccinated? Im never getting it.

Biden announces Covid-19 vaccine incentives, mandates for federal workersPresident Biden announced new Covid-19 vaccine incentives including encouraging states to use federal funds to award unvaccinated people $100 if they get the vaccine. He also announced new Covid-19 vaccine mandates for federal workers and contractors and urged other workplaces to follow suit. Baby steps. There's so much more you could do POTUS. Ask major corporations to require vaccinations for their employees and customers. Make it mandatory for the military. Ask governors to do their part. Good deal means if you are family of 3 kids will get $500 not bad At least he is trying to get through to the dumb people
