Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told reporters during a teleconference on Tuesday that her biggest concern is that the CCP virus may be “just a few mutations” away from being able to evade vaccines.
“The largest concern that I think we in public health and science are worried about is that virus and the potential mutations. We have a very transmissible virus which has the potential to evade our vaccines in terms of how it protects us from severe disease and death,” Walensky said.
“Right now, fortunately, we are not there. These vaccines operate really well in protecting us from severe disease and death. But the big concern is the next variant that might emerge, just a few mutations potentially away, could potentially evade our vaccines.”
[ZH: Remember just a few weeks before she lifted the mask mandate, Walensky warned the world of a sense of “impending doom.”]
Walensky advised that the threat of a variant that is immune to the current vaccines is the reason more Americans should be vaccinated in a bid to contain the virus and its mutations.
[ZH: read that sentence again and consider what the nation’s (if not the world’s) leading health official is saying!]
More than 163 million Americans have been fully vaccinated as of Tuesday, according to the CDC.
The CDC issued new guidance on Tuesday advising fully vaccinated people to wear masks indoors if they are “in an area of substantial or high transmission.”
More than 63 percent of the counties in the United States had substantial or high COVID-19 transmission rates as of Tuesday, according to the CDC.
COVID-19 is the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
The guidance issued on Tuesday is a reversal of the advisory the agency issued in May which said fully vaccinated people don’t have to wear masks indoors and in most other settings.
The latest surge in COVID-19 cases in the United States has been driven by the spread of the Delta variant of the CCP virus. The variant comprised more than half of all new infections by early June and has become more prevalent since, according to the CDC’s strain surveillance program.
“We are dealing with a much different strain of this virus than we were even earlier in the spring, back in May, when the masking guidance was done — provided by the CDC at that time,” White House press secretary Jenn Psaki told reporters on Tuesday, addressing questions about the variant and the new CDC guidance.
“Their job is to look at evolving information, evolving data, an evolving historic pandemic, and provide guidance to the American public.”
[ZH: And finally, another conspiracy theory seems more likely to be about to become fact.]
JUST NOW: “That may very well be a path forward. “@CDCDirector on European-style health passes allowing extra access for people who are vaccinated.pic.twitter.com/K3GN9DuIg6

Land of the free, indeed?
Does anyone besides me find it strange that in the last 30k years until the year 2000 there have been only 4 strains of coronavirus that cause disease (minor colds) in humans.
Apparently there was there after 2000 there was a virus called sars that killed a few people and would have died out naturally, except a bunch of bioweapons labs jizzed themselves and started modifying it.
Suddenly we have Pandemics, Forced gene modification, etc
I agree. The other possibility is they already know the vaccines are worthless -- against Covid in general -- and they'll blame mutations/variants for the ineffectiveness. That's much easier than admitting they were wrong all along, and wasted all that time and money.
What the left predicts and warns us about, it is planning.
See? They were right. They are such good prognosticators.
Exactly.🤔
Supreme.🤔
The fake vaccine doesn’t work as a true vaccine and is not safe maybe marginally effective but the lie must never be in doubt.
Well, what the Hades good is a vaccine then?
When is the government going to go after Dr. Fauci for his part in creating Covid 19 and this pandemic?
well the fearpers here pught to be dancing at the thought of health passes
its just another way to say vax passport
i am sure they are chomping at the bit to hand over their papers every chance they get to a helpful govt official to do normal things like work and get food
Fact check: Probably True
See Mereks disease, and why the leaky vaccines has made it so deadly that all chickens must now get one.
