"We have known for a very long time since the viruses mutied, and when they mute, they mutate to an advantage of the virus," she explained. "If this advantage thinks is increased transmissibility, that many of them have shown, whether it is increased morbidity and mortality, increases virulence, which we start trying to understand, or if it is is because they can escape our therapy or vaccines, our immunity. We start to see them. "

And the motivation for those who do not do it, who could be a hesitant vaccine will be diminished. At one point, there will be a point of 'Inflection of, there will be more vaccine when we have people who want to take it. And at this point, we still have to increase vaccination. "
Dr. Walensky says when we come back to "normal" depends on us
In the end, what does the pandemic in terms of gravity look like will depend on how people respond and respect the suggested fundamental principles. "How does it depend on 330 million people: will they continue to wear their mask through that? And will they roll their sleeves and get vaccinated through that? Because I really hope it could happen in March and April, I really know it could go bad so fast. And we saw it in November. We saw it in December. We saw what could happen. "
