Frustrated Fauci warns of pandemic 'wrong direction'

WILMINGTON, Delaware－The United States is in an "unnecessary predicament" of soaring COVID-19 cases fueled by unvaccinated people and the virulent Delta variant, the nation's top infectious diseases expert said on Sunday.

"We're going in the wrong direction," said Anthony Fauci, describing himself as "very frustrated".

He said recommending that the vaccinated wear masks is "under active consideration" by the government's leading public health officials. Also, booster shots may be suggested for vaccinated people with suppressed immune systems.
