According to the CDC and Director Rochelle Walensky, ALL people who have previously been "vaccinated" should be tested after any future exposure to the Wuhan virus, as "even vaccinated people who are infected by Delta may carry large amounts of the virus and transmit it to others."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has revised its COVID-19 testing guidance for fully vaccinated people, recommending tests after exposure even if they don't show any symptoms. The agency previously said that fully vaccinated people did not need tests after coming into contact with an infected person unless they experienced symptoms.
The agency also clarified that masks should be used regardless of the level of the level of transmission "if you have a weakened immune system or if, because of your age or an underlying medical condition, you are at increased risk for severe disease, or if a member of your household has a weakened immune system."
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky clarified that the change was prompted by new data that suggests "that even vaccinated people who are infected by Delta may carry large amounts of the virus and transmit it to others," the New York Times writes.
"If you’ve been around someone who has COVID-19, you should get tested 3-5 days after your exposure, even if you don’t have symptoms," per the CDC's updated recommendation. "You should also wear a mask indoors in public for 14 days following exposure or until your test result is negative. You should isolate for 10 days if your test result is positive."
This inoculation is not a vaccine in any traditional sense. It isn't. And the CDC has beclowned themselves so many times now, it is a wonder that anyone still pays attention to them at all.

I'm just a smart layman, but it seems to me maybe the inoculations aren't working as well as we were led to believe. We should probably vaccinate some more snow leopards and make sure unvaccinated people can't go to the grocery store, that should fix everything.
Good luck with that. People around my area are not going to put up with contact tracing, masks, and lockdowns for another 2 years, much less another entire winter. Covid is here to stay. The nanny state authoritarians need to get over it and accept it. If I need a booster shot, better get one ready. I've heard no news stories saying they are working on one.

The specter of this sort of emerging variants has been drilled in ad infinitum.
Maybe you mean 'as well as we were hoping'.
