New COVID-19 cases outpace vaccination rates, raising risk of more dangerous variants

The Delta variant continues to fuel a surge of COVID-19 cases. Dr. Michael Osterholm joins “CBS This Morning” to explain how the spike could affect plans for booster vaccines.

Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs.

If a restaurant had a sign in front saying: " WE ARE NOT MEDICALLY, FINANCIALLY OR CRIMINALLY RESPONSIBLE IS IF OUR FOOD INJURSE OR KILLS". Would you eat there?

Why are they not worried bout the millions flooding across out boarder that are very sick? Where is the talk bout that?

Meanwhile at the border, people who's health status is a mystery continue to pour in.

Once you have had covid, you are naturally "vaccinated". Natural immunity has been shown to be very strong from South Korean medical studies. They believe it will last for years in most cases.

Well they had to stop asking patients if they are vaccinated or unvaccinated. Because they are getting more vaccinated in.

So what about the rest of the world, even if 100% of the people were vaccinated in the USA, we have an open southern border where new variants can come in from all over the world.

These "medical professionals" have such a small view of the world.

The media needs to be dismantled at this point.

If this is such a bad pandemic maybe they better start handing out more stimulus money.

I didn't get covid for a whole year before I got vaccinated (forced to by my job). Still didn't get it months after vaccination, so I guess this highly contagious deadly disease that keeps mutating just doesn't like me. I never stopped working or eating out, going to stores etc.

[kilroy]

Wait, you're projecting more variants? They were more likely when COVID was spreading without any vaccinations.

Just came for the comments. Wanted to see who is going to give the “I’m so sorry. I wish I had listened. My family did not deserve this” speech next.

This is called "setting up the narrative"

Imagine a vaccine so safe, that the manufacturers needed to be given total legal immunity.

Enough of reporting on a cold with a different name...
