Vaccinated people infected with the Delta variant may spread the virus, the CDC said, citing a recent outbreak that prompted its new guidance on mask wearing

A Covid-19 outbreak on Cape Cod helped prompt the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to

, the agency said, because it demonstrated that vaccinated people infected with the Delta variant could spread the virus.the Delta variant during the outbreak appeared to carry as much virus as 84 unvaccinated or partially vaccinated people who become infected. The report referred to an outbreak in Barnstable County, Mass. Local officials there have said that at least 430 confirmed Covid-19 cases have been linked to one cluster following festivities over the July 4 weekend in Provincetown, on the tip of Cape Cod.

“High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said Friday. “This finding is concerning and was a pivotal discovery leading to CDC’s updated mask recommendation.”

An internal CDC slide presentation earlier this week described the Delta variant as infectious as chickenpox, which used to sicken some four million Americans a year before a vaccine became available in the mid-1990s. The Delta variant is more transmissible than the common cold, seasonal flu and smallpox, but less contagious than measles, according to the presentation, which was first reported in the Washington Post.

Remember when everyone just pretended it was all over & then acted surprised at the Delta variant 🤪🧬

this is terrible news

This happened over July 4th wkend. A tourist town of 3000, swelled to 30,000 with people crammed into bars. It does not represent life as most of us know it. Cherry picking an event to incite fear is really tiresome. This is not a valid 'study'.

Should the borders be shut down? I don’t understand is it an emergency or not?

It was always premature to end mask mandates. It was a politically motivated decision.

It wasn’t just somewhere on Cape Cod. It was in Provincetown.

People who are unvaccinated without medical exemption should be taxed, pay higher healthcare premiums, and lose the right to vote. 🇺🇸

horrible

Kind of odd given how long this plume has been going throughout the Southern US

Hardly a news flash & a tightly held secret at CDC & NIH until recently. A naive public was allowed to believe vaccinated & symptom-free meant virus-free.

I warned of this 4 months ago... [==*==]

The shot wasn’t totally worthless. Many people were given free goodies such as beer, marijuana and hamburgers.
