American infectiologist Anthony Fauci has warned of new virus variants in an interview. In regions with few vaccinated people, where the virus can continue to circulate freely, there is a good chance that there will soon be a variant that could be more problematic than the delta variant, Fauci said in an interview with NBC News. Every infectiologist is aware, he said: a virus can only mutate if it is allowed to replicate. Currently, vaccinations still protect well against the delta variant, but a new variant could affect not only the unvaccinated but also the vaccinated, he said. Those who don’t protect themselves will eventually become infected, he said. Fauci also favors when mandatory vaccinations are introduced regionally. He recommends booster vaccinations for immunocompromised individuals.
