If more Americans don't get vaccinated, there is 'ample chance' for a more dangerous variant to emerge, Fauci says

If more Americans don't get vaccinated, there is 'ample chance' of another coronavirus variant emerging, one that could be more aggressive and more pervasive than the Delta variant, Dr. Anthony Fauci warned Wednesday. 'If another one comes along that has an equally high capability of transmitting but also is much more severe, then we really could be in trouble,' Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert, said. 'People who are not getting vaccinated mistakenly think it's only about them. But it isn't. it's about everybody else, also,' said Fauci.
