美国急诊医生：阿拉斯加已被德尔塔变种病毒吞没
海外网10月29日电美国《华盛顿邮报》27日发表题为《疫情初期阿拉斯加表现良好 如今却乱象蔓延》的文章，揭露美国医疗系统漏洞。阿拉斯加州首席医疗官在文中指出，该州疫苗接种工作停滞不前，已被德尔塔变异毒株吞没。新冠疫情恰恰暴露了美国医疗系统令人震惊的缺陷——对公共卫生及预防项目投资不足。 “我最近接诊的一位中年男性患者原本身体健壮，却感染了新冠病毒，而且没接种疫苗。他喘不上气，脸发青。之所以不接种疫苗，是因为他害怕副作用，且没足够了解新冠病毒的危险。生病后，他还花了不少钱在网上问诊。”阿拉斯加首席医疗官、执业急诊医师安妮·曾克（Anne Zink）向《华盛顿邮报》介绍了自己最近的接诊情况。
