[Michael Osterholm, director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy told NBC] on Sunday the current vaccination rate just isn’t fast enough to stop the spread of the new variants. Osterholm said the U.K. variant has grown from 1% to 4% of all U.S. cases about a month ago to about 30% to 40% now. “What we’ve seen in Europe, when we hit that 50% mark, you see cases surge.”

Fauci said the U.S. is on the right track, though. “Every day that goes by that we keep the lid on things will get better and better, because we’re putting now at least 2 million vaccinations into the arms of individuals each day. … So we’re going in the right direction. We just need to hang in there a bit longer.”
