During an <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FaceTheNation\/status\/1467519841682739209\">interview<\/a> Sunday, he said there\u2019s reason to believe developed vaccines won\u2019t work well against the full component of different variants.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">\u201cWhile <\/span><span class=\"r-18u37iz\">Omicron<\/span><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\"> may become a threat in U.S., the absolute risk from it right now is very low,\u201d Gottlieb noted. \u201cMany people will still become infected by Delta and may find that delta natural immunity doesn\u2019t protect well against Omicron.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This comes as Omicron cases have reached at least 15 states in the U.S. and the CDC announced FDA officials are in talks of rushing to authorize a Omicron-specific vaccine.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cSo, the question right now is whether or not this is re-infecting people who have Delta immunity and haven\u2019t been vaccinated, or whether it\u2019s going to also infect people who have who have been vaccinated,\u201d Gottlieb stated. \u201cThere\u2019s some reason to believe that vaccines could be more protective than just immunity acquired through natural infection from Delta. That\u2019s going to be a critical question we need to figure out in the coming weeks because we have some important policy decisions that we need to make, depending on the answer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, CDC Director Rachelle Walensky said conversations remain ongoing and the number of probable Omicron cases will likely rise.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/bidens-political-deception-on-ports\/\">Biden\u2019s Political Deception On Ports<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Scott Gottlieb, then-commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), testifies during a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing concerning federal efforts to combat the opioid crisis, October 25, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1089887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1089887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/79"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1089887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1089887\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1089887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1089887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1089887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
