While CDC Director Rochelle Walensky and Dr. Anthony Fauci insist that Americans must get vaccinated to protect “the children” from the delta variant (although the vaccines can’t offer a guarantee of protection against it), it’s refreshing to hear from another public health expert who disagrees with the official approach. Often since the start of the pandemic, former FDA chief (and Pfizer board member) Dr. Scott Gottlieb has shared his often divergent views on what’s appropriate with CNBC and its competitors.
“The bottom line is, the vaccine does not make you impervious to infection,” Gottlieb said during an appearance on CNBC. “There are some people who are developing mild and asymptomatic infections even after vaccination.”
Although he acknowledges that the vaccine “does not make you impervious” to infection by delta, Dr. Gottlieb questioned whether the general guidance on mask-wearing is a smart strategy, claiming that returning to indoor mask-wearing in some areas would have only a “negligible impact” given the vaccination rates, even in the areas with lower vaccination rates and higher hospitalizations. Cases have been falling in UK and Europe, which many say portends a drop in the US as well.
