Eisen is hinting at the research surrounding the virus and its effects, as well as the a Delta variant that is now the dominant strain in the United States, and is more likely to be contagious. According to a Yale Medicine study from last week, unvaccinated people are at most risk to contract COVID, as is the case with other strains, butalso said the Delta variant has to lead to “hyperlocal outbreaks.”ore is still being discovered about the deadly variant.

Eisen later added the following on his IG post: “Every health care professional I’ve come across in the last few days tell me the two shots of Pfizer I got in February are what’s keeping a 52-year-old like me from a far worse experience than the awful one I’m having. So, be careful if you’re vaccinated and, if you’re not vaccinated, don’t wait another second.”

Eisen’s post, and experience, is a reminder that the pandemic is still ongoing, and just because people are getting vaccinated doesn’t mean the worst is over. After all, no vaccines have a 100 percent effectiveness rate, but they, especially the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, do increase your likelihood of immunity, or ability to fight off the disease if contracted, studies continually show.
