Is it aVVID-19 vaccinesay that you will not beCOVIDagain? Perhaps not, warns of the former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb-who sits on the board of Pfizer, as well as Illumina. During an interview with Margaret Brennan this morningFace the nationHe said he is "still concerned" with a new variant in New York, called B.1.526.

Dr Gottlieb warns against New York has a new variant we do not have enough to know enough about

On the nyc variant, gottlieb says: ... "I am always worried about it, we find cases and hospitalizations diminish through New York, so it's a good sign although the test also tumbled when you look at In some parts of New York, Brooklyn, parts of Queens, parts of Sten Island, the positivity rate approaching 15%. So, you see a lot of infection, the outbreak and pockets of New York, but we do not understand what 1.526 is, or not people are reinfected with it. And if yes or no people who could have been vaccinated are now being infected with this ".

"One of the concerns about this particular variant," he continued, "is that he has this mutation. It is also in the South African variant, variant 1,351 that we know in some cases, is at the origin of the people who have already had coronavirus to get reinfected with her. And the question is, is whether 1,526 is responsible for some of the increases we see in New York right now. And if it's the beginning of a new epidemic in the city-we are simply not very good at the collection of cases and connect it again to the clinical experience. We must therefore not in much more aggressive and start to sequencing cases, especially those who declare either have already been vaccinated had already Covid ".

Who would do that, Brennan asked?

"The CDC-I mean, they need to work with the New York City of Public Health, but the city is not just going to have the resources needed to do it systematically. I think they will intervene and start doing it, but they must be aggressive marketing to doctors, asking doctors to introduce themselves and report where they see situations where people have already been infected with Covid can be reinfer. We do not know what's going on, but incidentally, some doctors report that now, and that could explain why you see a recrudescence of cases ".

Dr. Gottlieb We probably did not say a fourth wave, but beware

"With regard to B 1.1.7, the first variant detected in the United Kingdom, Dr. Fauci said this week, he is about 30% of us infections and that's what, 50% more communicable. It is also potentially more deadly. When you see these images of these Spring Break gatherings in Florida and elsewhat that it makes you think about your projections here and worry about a fourth wave? Brennan asked.

"Well, I do not think we're going to have a fourth wave," Gottlieb replied. "I think the fact that we have so much infection 120 before millions of Americans have been infected with this virus. The fact that we have now vaccinated, we got a one-shot and at least 70 million Americans. Even if you count the fact that perhaps about 30% of vaccinated people are already Covid, we are talking about a certain form of protective immunity and about 55% of the population. So, there is not a kind of safety net here I do not think you will see a fourth increase. I think what you could see as for plateauing a period of time before continuing on a drop down, largely, because B 1.1.7 becomes largely more widespread because we reigst too fast compared to remove our masks and lifting attenuation. But I still do not think it's enough to be enough to create a real fourth wave ".

"Maybe we will see a slight rise in some parts of the country," he said. "The only thing that can be a real game changer is here if we have a variant that hits preliminary immunity, which means that it reinfected people who have either have been infected or have been vaccinated as ... L one in Brazil. We are not knowing right now, we need to better determine these things ".

For now, wear your mask and get vaccinated when it's at your disposal, and to protect your life and the lives of others, do not visit one of these 35 places you are most likely to catch Covid .
