Gunzburg explained why the vaccinated get infected with the coronavirus The

People who are vaccinated against the CORONAVIRUS can become infected with COVID-19, because with the delta strain, the memory cells do not have time to work. About this "RIA Novosti" said the DIRECTOR of the Center. Gamalei Alexander Gintsburg.

"Delta"-strain has changed the nature of interaction with cells and exists inside the cells. The virus has time to enter the cells against the background of a low level of antibodies, ”he said.

According to the specialist, as a rule, after six to eight months, the antibody titer drops in the vaccinated, but memory cells remain. However, they begin to produce antibodies only on the second or fourth day after infection, and this is too late.

Gunzburg said that the virus spreads from one cell to another without leaving them, and accumulates in large quantities. According to him, the level of antibodies in the blood should be constantly high, so every six months you need to undergo revaccination.
