on Friday urged fellow vaccinated Americans to be on guard about the Covid delta variant, telling CNBC its highly transmissible nature cannot be ignored even by people who have immunity protection.
"The original premise around the vaccines — that they reduce the risk of serious disease and hospitalization — is still intact," the former Food and Drug Administration commissioner said on "We still see in the data that the vast majority of people who are getting in trouble with Covid are people who are unvaccinated.", said the risk to vaccinated people is not zero.
"People who are vaccinated in a setting of this epidemic surge, especially if they're in places where there's a high prevalence of infection, need to take appropriate precautions," he said. "You can't just throw caution to the wind. You can still become a vehicle for spread in your community." The seven-day average of daily new coronavirus cases in the U.S. is 141,060, according to a CNBC analysis of Johns Hopkins University data. That's up 14% from a week ago.
