Fauci: If the vaccination rate does not increase, the world may appear more dangerous new crown variants

Overseas Network, August 9th. According to US media reports on the 8th, American infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci recently stated that if the populations of various countries cannot be fully vaccinated, then the unvaccinated population will cause the epidemic to continue, and even more dangerous mutant viruses will appear. .

　　 CNN reported that Fauci said in an interview released on the 8th that if the vast majority of the population in a country is vaccinated, the epidemic will disappear. However, if only part of the population is vaccinated, the high infection rate will continue into autumn, and the case may be misdiagnosed as influenza in winter, which means that the new crown virus will strike again in the spring of the next year. He pointed out that if the global population cannot be fully vaccinated in the next few years, the continued spread of the new coronavirus may lead to the production of more mutant viruses.

　　 Although the impact of the epidemic in the United States has increased again, there are still people who continue to gather activities not recommended by health agencies, such as the Sturgis motorcycle rally that will be attended by hundreds of thousands of people. Fauci said that such activities are likely to lead to a surge in new crown cases. US media said that US states are currently busy responding to the rampant "Delta" variant strains. According to data from Johns Hopkins University, the average number of new cases in at least 47 states in the United States has increased by 10% in 7 days, and the epidemic prevention situation is still severe.

福奇：若接种率不提高 世界或出现更危险新冠变种

　　海外网8月9日电据美国媒体8日报道，美国传染病专家安东尼·福奇近日表示，如果各国人口不能实现完全接种，那么未接种人群将导致疫情持续，甚至是更危险的变异病毒出现。

　　美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）报道称，福奇在8日发布的一段采访中称，如果一个国家的绝大多数人口完成接种，那么疫情将可以消失。然而，如果只有部分人口接种，高感染率将持续到秋季，病例在冬季可能被误诊为流感，这意味着新冠病毒在下一年春季会再次来袭。他指出，如果全球人口不能在未来几年完全接种，新冠病毒的持续传播或导致更多变异病毒的产生。

　　虽然美国受疫情的影响再次加重，但仍有人继续进行卫生机构不建议的聚集活动，例如将有数十万人参加的斯特吉斯摩托车集会。福奇对此表示，这种活动很可能导致新冠病例的激增。美媒称，美国各州目前正忙于应对“德尔塔”变异株的肆虐。约翰斯·霍普金斯大学数据显示，美国至少47个州的7天平均新增病例数出现了10%的增长，防疫形势依然严峻。
