The light at the end of the tunnel? The director of the American CDC assured that the vaccinated people “do not transmit the coronavirus”

The Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Rochelle Walensky, said on Tuesday that people vaccinated against the coronavirus “do not carry the virus.”

In an interview with the channel MSNBC, Walensky assured: “Our CDC data now suggests that people vaccinated do not carry the virus and do not get sick.. It’s not just clinical trials, it’s real data as well. “

The official hinted at a CDC study released on Monday that looked at Moderna and Pfizer vaccines and found that under real conditions, reduces the risk of infection by 90% two weeks or more after the second dose. The CDC said the study showed the vaccines “can reduce asymptomatic and symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections.”

Walensky was optimistic and said that “We can almost see the end” of the pandemic according to the vaccination rate in the United Statess. However, they reiterate their concern over the increase in Covid-19 cases.

At the proposal of the official, that of the Anthony Fauci, Chief Infectologist of the White House, who pointed out that in the coming months, it will be necessary to determine whether vaccinated people are infected asymptomatically and, if they do, whether they are transmitting the infection to other people.

“We have done well to vaccinate the oldest age group in our society, in order to reduce mortality. we have to bet that more and more weapons will receive the injections quickly, not only to slow the spread of new variants, hospitalizations and deaths, but also to reduce the potential for long-term effects of Covid-19 disease, ”Walensky added.

United States topped 30 million positive cases this week. The North American country came to him after the cases will increase by 12% compared to the previous week.

“We are seeing more travel than during the entire pandemic, even on Christmas or New Years. I think people are taking advantage of what they see as a relative drop in the number of infections and are taking the spring break to travel.” , Walensky finished.
