CDC Director Now Says ‘New Data’ Shows Breakthrough Cases in Vaccinated People Can Spread as Much Virus as Unvaccinated

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky is now saying that “new data” shows breakthrough cases in vaccinated individuals can spread as much virus as an unvaccinated person.

The CDC has now changed course yet again and is now calling for fully vaccinated Americans to wear masks indoors in places with “substantial or high” transmission — including “universal masking” in schools.

“In rare occasions, some vaccinated people infected with a delta variant after vaccination may be contagious and spread the virus to others,” Walensky said during a press briefing on Tuesday. “This new science is worrisome, and unfortunately warrants an update to our recommendation.”

Walensky claimed that “new information” gathered last week shows that those infected with the delta variant could carry the same viral load as unvaccinated, infected people, according to a report from ABC News.

Despite giving these new recommendations, the CDC director continued to demand that people go get vaccinated.

“Getting vaccinated continues to prevent severe illness, hospitalization and death, even with delta. It also helps reduce the spread of the virus in our community. Vaccinated individuals continue to represent a very small amount of transmission occurring around the country,” Walensky said.

The CDC had issued guidance earlier this month that suggested vaccinated students and staff were fine to go to school without masks.

“CDC recommends localities encourage universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to schools, regardless of vaccination status,” the CDC wrote in a summary of the new guidance. “Children should return to full-time in-person learning in the fall with proper prevention strategies are in place.”

Walensky claimed that the news that vaccinated people will still have to wear masks “weighs heavily” on her.

“This weighs heavily on me. I know at 18 months through this pandemic, not only are people tired, they’re frustrated,” Walensky said. “And I know, in the context of all that, it is not a welcomed piece of news that masking is going to be a part of peoples lives who have already been vaccinated.”

She claimed that vaccinated people will have to wear masks again due to people who opted not to take the jab — continuing to pit the nation against each other.

“This moment, and most importantly, the associated illness, suffering and death could have been avoided with higher vaccination coverage in this country,” Walensky said.

Walensky added that if more people don’t get vaccinated, the virus could mutate to “potentially evade our vaccines.”

The vaccine isn’t a virus. There’s no virus to “shed”. The doctor is an idiot.

Well they just negated that last sentence. IMHO if the vaccine does not prevent spread, just “lessens” the severity, then the risk/reward decision rests on prophylaxis vs experimental mRNA jab with NO long term studies. Gee, which way to go? /sarc

Surprise! The vaccines are worthless and the criminal democrats are still demanding people take them. Now the question is, what harm will these vaccines be proved to have caused?

Of course, when they find that out, this information will quickly be spiked by the criminal, democrat party news media.

Re: 4 - So what is considered an actual reliable source?

Do you have specific names or sites?

So it makes no sense at all to be giving the ‘jab’ to those who have Narutal Immunity, and thereby deplete the herd immunity.

So the vaccinated are the super spreaders.

Good grief what a major dumpster fire this whole thing is.

Wow. I mean, how is that possible?

They are all different. It is really difficult to compare trial results from 2 different ‘drugs’ without running a head to head trial. But data out of the UK and Israel seems to indicate the Pfizer and the AstraZeneca (AZ not available in the US) don’t have lasting immunity effects. Some have said the AZ vaccine is the least effective and it may be considering the UK is 70% vaccinated and still doing various forms of lock down and isolation (they have a tracking app and send you an alert if it appears you were near someone infected, requiring you go to quarantine). Some have said the J&J vaccine is the least effective in the USA, but J&J claims theirs is very strong against the Delta variant. Israel says the Pfizer is only 39% effective against Delta but prevents about 90% of serious illness and hospitalization (which means, 10% of vaccinated will get very sick even after PFE vaccine if infected with Delta).

Bottom line, I don’t think we will ever know. After the fact we can look back and see the relative risks and rewards but it would just be a post hoc study and not reliable. But these “breakthrough cases” are more and more prominent suggesting the immunity doesn’t last and/or that it may be causing ADE or that the virus mutations, in Darwinist fashion, circumvent the vaccines. Now in the USA we have the Colombian variant on the rise.

Most unvaccinated people do not get severely ill, hospitalized or die...even with delta. Thus they help reduce the spread of virus in our community.

Making up stuff as they go along, to fit whatever Falsie and the administration want, and vice versa? They’ve lost what little credibility they had. I haven’t trusted them since the AIDs crisis.

Not according to our beloved governor, Don Cuomo.

Do you mean the man who said “I have told you the facts on COVID from Day One... I told you the truth.”
