Dr. Peter Hotez: Parts of U.S. Are ‘Deeply Dug In in Ideological Grounds’ and Refuse To Get Vaccinated

EXCERPT:

HOTEZ: "It’s going to be necessary in areas where you’ve got a lot of transmission, again, from low vaccination, high Delta. Because what happens is, the vaccines are great, make no mistake about it. Over 90 percent protective. But they’re not 100 percent. And for some immunocompromised people, they don’t take as well. For those individuals we’re going to have to think about wearing masks when you go indoors. If we could get everybody vaccinated, then we don’t have to go this route anymore. But we have whole segments of the nation that are deeply dug in in ideological grounds who refuse to get vaccinated."
