WASHINGTON - Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Dr. Rochelle Walensky expressed concern over new data that shows that vaccinated and unvaccinated people infected by the delta variant of the novel coronavirus carry viral loads that "are actually quite similar.""We are actively conducting outbreak investigations of what’s occurring in places that are having clusters...
What we’ve learned in that context, is when we examine the rare breakthrough infections and we look at the amount of virus in those people, it’s pretty similar to the amount of virus in unvaccinated people," Walensky said.
The news comes as the CDC announced new recommendations on Tuesday that vaccinated people return to wearing masks indoors in.
