Ex-Trump COVID Czar Giror to Unvaccinated Fox Viewers: 'You Will Get the Delta Variant'
Brett Giroir, who served as former President Donald Trump's COVID-19 testing czar, warned unvaccinated Fox News viewers on Thursday that they "will get the Delta variant" of the novel coronavirus if they are not vaccinated.
The Delta variant, which originally surfaced in India, has led to a surge in new COVID-19 infections in the U.S. over the past several weeks. While public health officials and doctors continue to assess that vaccinated individuals have substantial protection against the variant—especially against severe cases, hospitalizations and death—they have expressed growing alarm for the unvaccinated.
During a Thursday interview with Fox News, Giroir, the former assistant secretary of health in the Trump administration, raised those concerns as well. He predicted that all unvaccinated Americans would inevitably catch the Delta variant, as it is significantly more contagious than the original COVID-19 virus.
"Let me tell you. If you have not been vaccinated and you have not had COVID before, you will get the Delta variant. This is so infectious that you will get it. If you have had COVID before, we don't know exactly but it's looking like prior immunity is not so good against Delta and I'm really concerned that the evidence is mounting that even natural immunity will not protect you against Delta," Giroir warned during an interview on Fox News' America's Newsroom.
