US scientists caution that vaccinated individuals experiencing breakthrough infections may carry similar viral loads to unvaccinated people, potentially making them dangerous carriers and necessitating a re-evaluation of transmission theories.
English scientists warn of a strong possibility that a new COVID-19 variant, worse than Delta, will emerge and could render current vaccines useless, leading to a 'vaccine failure' scenario.
The global pandemic situation is worsening, with rising infections and significant alarm across various regions including China, Russia, Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia, indicating a progressively gloomy future.
Both US and English scientific reports highlight a shared concern: the coronavirus is evolving to better evade existing vaccines, suggesting a potential return to square one in the fight against the pandemic.
