Dr. Fauci: I trust scientists in China, "they have been in good faith"
Joe Madison, host: Wuhan's laboratory is the whole debate now. Why is it important to Dr. Fauci, that we, and if we focus on this controversy on the laboratory in China? I know we can chew gum and walk at the same time, but on a scale of, I do not know, one to 10, what is the importance of what we are pursuing this controversy or this discussion?
Anthony Fauci: Well, you want to make sure that you have lessons learned if you know the origin, which, right now there is a lot of discussion about the idea of better understanding the origin of this particular epidemic. Many of us, myself, always felt that it is much more likely that it was a natural occurrence of a species of jump, an animal host to a human. But we can not say that we are one hundred percent some. And it is important to determine to prevent these types of things in the future. And for this reason, this hypothesis, that she could have escaped from a laboratory, is something you want to see if you can investigate that in a fair, impartial manner scientifically sounds, and I guess it's What's going on now. Unfortunately, it becomes a little politicized if not much politicized, but it is important to know the origin because if you do it, you may be able to prevent things like this one to happen in the future.
Madison: Do you trust scientists, your colleagues? You have to work with them in China. Do you trust them to be honest and coming?
Fauci: Well yeah. Yes, I think you have to have a difference between scientists in China and the Chinese government. I do not have a lot of insight in the latter. We have worked with Chinese scientists for decades and decades collaboratively with influenza, with avian influenza, with a variety of other diseases. And our experience with scientists has been that they have been in good faith, they are talented, many of them have made major achievements in science, and that's why we worked with them.
Dr. Anthony Fauci says we should not get too comfortable "until we crushed the epidemic"
Madison: And the only concern we are talking about here on the show Joe Madison is, let's get too comfortable now? I have been vaccinated. I find myself wear a mask. Sometimes I do not know when wearing it, when not wearing it and the concern we have often among our appellants is that we have too comfortable? Is it too early to be too comfortable with where we are now with this pandemic?
Fauci:Well, we should definitely ever feel comfortable about it until we crushed this epidemic. We are going a lot in the right direction. We have 50% of the adult population is fully vaccinated and more than 60% of the adult population had at least one dose. The number of cases per day decreases, but you do not want to be complacent. We must continue to vaccinate people. And those who are not vaccinated should continue to follow the CDC guidelines. So, I totally agree with you and encourages everyone who listens to we can not be complacent about it until we basically got the level of infection in a spectacular way that it is now., Even if it goes in the right direction, we did not want to prematurely declare victory.

Dr. Fauci says that children of all ages can probably get the vaccine at the end of the year
Madison: Let me customize it. I soon have a 15-year-old grandson and I have big babies who are - his four and the other is seven. So should I encourage their parents to vaccinate them?
Fauci:Well, you will have to break it in the age group. So let me explain to you. At present, we have 12 to 15 years who are able to be vaccinated by the Pfizer, and now Moderna has also shown that, aged 12 to 17, because their clinical trial went to 18. Clinical Trial of Pfizer decreased by 16, but now both went from 12 years and over. So now, is it your 15 year old grandchild that you said?
Madison: Yes. Soon to be 15, right.
Fauci: This young man is able to get vaccinated now. The youngest of your family's group, we are currently being called an age de-escalation study to blink to ensure that the vaccine is safe and effective in these people, which we have all the reasons To believe that will be - these studies are underway now. And I imagine that younger members of your family, clearly that the 15 years can be vaccinated at this time, but younger members of your family arriving in the coming months, as these types of studies continue. And I hope that, as we arrive at the end of this calendar year, that children of all ages can be vaccinated, but you do not want to do that before having enough data to feel comfortable. But we have every reason to believe in view of the extraordinary trace of these vaccines, which we will be able to vaccinate children of all ages before arriving at the end of the year.
