　　 Collins previously stated that if more people are vaccinated when the vaccine is widely available, the fourth wave of epidemics caused by the delta mutant strain may be alleviated.

　　 He said on the ABC program: "I'm afraid we really shouldn't get where we are now." "In this regard, yes, we failed... Now we are paying a terrible price."

　　 Collins also pointed out that the new crown vaccine can play a role in slowing down the rapid spread of the new crown epidemic. He also admitted that political factors have led to the polarization of the American people's views on the epidemic mitigation strategy.

　　 Due to the spread of the delta mutant strain and the stagnation of the vaccination process, the US epidemic continues to rebound. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the 7th is the fourth consecutive day in the United States that there are more than 100,000 new cases of new crowns. On the 6th, the United States reported more than 120,000 new cases of new crowns, setting a record of the highest single-day new cases in 6 months.

　　柯林斯此前表示，如果在疫苗广泛普及的时候有更多的人接种，目前由德尔塔变异毒株引起的第四波疫情可能会得到缓解。

　　他在ABC节目中说：“恐怕我们真的不应该取得现在的局面。”“在这方面，是的，我们失败了……现在我们正在付出可怕的代价。”

　　柯林斯还指出，接种新冠疫苗可以在减缓新冠疫情的快速蔓延方面发挥作用，他还承认政治因素导致美国民众对疫情缓解战略的看法出现两极分化。

　　由于德尔塔变异毒株的蔓延和疫苗接种进程的停滞，美国疫情持续反弹。根据美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的数据，7日是美国连续第四天新增新冠病例超过10万例。6日美国报告超过12万例新冠病例，创下6个月来最高的单日新增病例纪录。
