Summary

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also reported Friday that more than 97% of people entering hospitals with symptomatic COVID-19 hadn't received shots.The US is now dealing with a "pandemic of the unvaccinated," CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said at a press briefing."We are seeing outbreaks of cases in parts of the country that have low vaccination coverage because unvaccinated people are at risk, and communities that are fully vaccinated are generally faring well," Walensky said.But disease experts worry that allowing the virus to spread among unvaccinated people could give it more opportunities to mutate. Already, the Delta variant — now the dominant strain in the US — appears to be more transmissible than any other version of the virus detected so far."The worst-case scenario is if Delta mutates into something completely different, a completely different animal, and then our current vaccines are even less effective or ineffective," Vivek Cherian, an internal-medicine physician in Baltimore, told Insider last month.Experts also worry that increased transmission could result in more severe breakthrough infections — cases of COVID-19 diagnosed at least two weeks after someone is fully vaccinated — among older people or those who are immunocompromised, since vaccines may already be less effective among these groups.People over 65 represent about 75% of breakthrough cases that result in hospitalization or death, according to the CDC.Disease experts worry that the US could soon follow in the footsteps of the UK, where average deaths have more than doubled in the past two weeks, from 17 to 40 a day.
