Unvaccinated people don't only risk their own health: Their bodies become 'variant factories'

People who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 not only risk their own health but are "variant factories," an infectious disease expert told CNN.

"Unvaccinated people are potential variant factories," Dr. William Schaffner, a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told CNN.

"The more unvaccinated people there are, the more opportunities for the virus to multiply," he added.

Variants evolve in the body of a person who is infected with the coronavirus.
