WASHINGTON (NYTIMES) - A wedding in Oklahoma leads to 15 vaccinated guests becoming infected with the coronavirus. Raucous Fourth of July celebrations disperse the virus from Provincetown, Massachusetts, to dozens of places across the country, sometimes carried by fully vaccinated celebrants.
As the Delta variant surges across the United States, reports of infections in vaccinated people have become increasingly frequent - including, most recently, among at least six Texas Democrats, a White House aide and an aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The highly contagious variant, combined with a lagging vaccination campaign and the near absence of preventive restrictions, is fuelling a rapid rise in cases in all states, and hospitalisations in nearly all of them. It now accounts for about 83 per cent of infections diagnosed in the United States.
