The COVID-19 vaccines will never be perfect; fully vaccinated people can still get infected, though they’re much less likely to be hospitalized or die from the disease. Yet, the Delta coronavirus variant first discovered in India has some experts concerned.
The World Health Organization suggested on Friday that fully vaccinated people still wear face masks whenever possible, citing the Delta variant’s increased transmissibility and risk of serious COVID-19 across the globe.
“People cannot feel safe just because they had the two doses. They still need to protect themselves… vaccines alone won’t stop community transmission,” Dr. Mariangela Simao, WHO assistant director-general for access to medicines and health products, said during a virtual press conference on June 25. “People need to continue to use masks consistently, be in ventilated spaces, hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette, the physical distance, avoid crowding.”

“I personally think this is very wise advice. The #DeltaVariant is enormously contagious with even fleeting exposure of just seconds. This indicates clearly fast airborne transmission,” Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding, an epidemiologist, health economist and senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists in Washington, D.C... “You need to keep masking, especially premium masks if possible,” Feigl-Ding added.

“We are already starting to see some consequences of these events with increasing transmission again. The Delta variant will make that epidemic curve exponential,” Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, an infectious disease epidemiologist and the WHO COVID-19 technical lead, said during the press conference. “So, please, do what you can to keep yourself safe and make decisions individually about what [you] need to do every day.”

I just searched for delta in keywords. I’ve been hearing about it in the media as well, but they do want to hide successes with cheap meds that they do know work.
