The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in a new interview celebrated data suggesting that those who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 largely "do not carry the virus."
CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Monday that "our data from the CDC today suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus" or get sick.
"It's not just in the clinical trials, but it's also in real-world data," she added.
Her comments seemed to be in reference to a CDC study released earlier on Monday that examined Moderna's and Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccines and found that in real-world conditions, they reduced the risk of infection by 90 percent two or more weeks after the second dose was administered. The CDC said the study demonstrated that the vaccines "can reduce both asymptomatic and symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections."
Though Walensky expressed optimism over this finding and said "we can kind of almost see the end" of the pandemic based on the rate of vaccinations in the United States, she also reiterating her concern about COVID-19 cases ticking up.
"What I really would hate to have happen is to have another oncoming surge just as we're reaching towards getting so many more people vaccinated," she said.
Walensky had previously expressed similar concerns on Monday about a potential fourth surge in COVID-19 cases, saying in a briefing she has a feeling "of impending doom" while urging Americans to "please hold on a little while longer."

CDC director: Data suggests vaccinated people largely 'do not carry the virus'

In YOUR OWN 2nd paragraph you have the ANSWER to YOUR own thread, "the CDC said that those who are vaccinated, LARGELY do not carry the VIRUS. The word LARGELY means most but not 100% do NOT carry CV. In fact, 90% of those vaccinated do not carry CV but 10% can carry it. You may be vaccinated but you or 10% like you CAN carry and infect others. It is 90% unlikely that you DO carry it (that is the LARGELY WORD). But with a 10% likelihood that you infect your friends, children, or grandchildren - are you WILLING to take that risk. Probably NOT. Do your grandkids feel lucky? That abundance of caution is why the CDC is saying to REMAIN VIGILANT by masking and distance EVEN AFTER getting the vaccine. Certainly, we owe that to our grandkids and others. Also, the 15% that have been vaccinated need to act as model LEADERS to help the other 85% keep from spreading the Pandemic. The CV cases are increasing in the US and Florida. Florida is one of the worst!
