The top expert in infectious diseases simply explained a cultivable point on coronavirus transmission.
More than 123 million people in the United States arefully vaccinated Against Covid, according to disease control and prevention centers (CDC), and this means that people are becoming more and more hope that the pandemic will end soon. But there are still causes of concern about the virus, including the increased attention onCase of covidation in those who are entirely vaccinated, known in the medical community as "revolutionary infections". But all cases of COVID are not created equal, it turns out.

During hisFace the nation Maintenance, Fauci was asked about how infected vaccinated persons but do not develop symptoms of COVIDs comparable to non-vaccinated asymptomatic covidant patients. He explained that "even if there are revolutionary infections with vaccinated persons, almost always people are asymptomatic and the virus level is so low, it makes it extremely unlikely, not impossible, but very, very low probability that They go to pass it. "
Fauci noted that the virus level found in the nasopharynx of the vaccine person, the upper part of the throat between the nose is "considerably lower" that a non-vaccinated person with the virus. "While when the infected people, who were without symptoms, which are not vaccinated, generally the title or level of virus, relatively speaking, are higher than in vaccinated individuals," said Fauci.
This means that a vaccinated person with COVID is much less likely to transmit the virus on a non-vaccinated person, even if both have symptoms.
According to CDC data in mid-April, vaccinated people have only 0.008%chance to get Covid. The reason it is possible is that vaccines are not 100% efficient to prevent infection, but they are almost successful in preventing serious cases or death. Moderna andPfizer vaccines were about 95% effective atPrevent symptomatic covidationand 100% effective against a serious illness in clinical trials. Meanwhile, the Johnson & Johnson's unique dose vaccine is72% effective When preventing COVID infections and 85% effective in preventing serious cases, the company stated in a statement.
In the end, Fauci explained, vaccines are the key to the end of the pandemic. "When you are vaccinated, you do not just protect your own health, that of the family, but also you contribute to community health by preventing the spread of the virus," said Fuci. "You become a stalemate to the virus. And when there are a lot of deaths around, the virus will not go anywhere. ... The more vaccinated you are, the more vaccinated you are, the more the whole community is. "
