We are not yet out of the wood, says the infectious disease specialist.
With the coronavirus mutant in several variants - including the "more communicable" variant delta - it is clear theCOVID-19 [FeminineThe pandemic is not over.Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Chief Medical Councilor of the President and Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, spoke with Dr. YouTube's Dr.Mike Varshavski, Aka doctor mike, on why it's too early to declare victory, even if it looks like things back to normal. Read 5 tips that can save your life from someone's life you know - and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss these Sure sign that you have "Long" Covid and may even know.
Dr. Faisci warned that cases could reach again
"I think it's very positive," said Dr. FaCi when asked about our progress by far ", but one of the things we are concerned about saying the victory prematurely. Because even if you Watch all the settings, especially most recently in recent months or two, is that the average of seven days of daily business continues to go down and down. One of the questions with it's if we see the numbers come down and that people say, well, why should I getvaccinated? Everything seems to go well - it's a mistake. If you do not really get the very low level, very weak is always the concern and the real concern, not only theoretical, that you could start getting more infections. At least in this country, we are in a very lucky situation that we have enough vaccines to vaccinate everyone. When you look at other countries where they literally die and the figure to be vaccinated because they do not have enough vaccines. I mean, take India has two to 3% of their population is fully vaccinated. And about 11 to 12% received at least one dose. I mean, it's not good. "
Dr. Fauci for that to say to anyone who has not been vaccinated
"First of all, you do not want to point to a finger or make them feel guilty," he said. "You want to try to explain why it's important for them to be vaccinated by giving them two things, giving them all the facts they need to answer. All the questions they have. Was it too fast ? No, we have an answer to that. That's what the culmination of decades of research got us there. Was it not the 11th from January to December, so they ask Well, have you ever tested it? I want to wait and see. Well, hundreds and millions of people have had the vaccine now. So we spent the time of waiting and see it. l 'Another thing is to make it extraordinarily easy to get, because there is sometimes a combination of hesitation and what they consider inconvenience. Do not forget to come back early, people were trying to negotiate computers and make an appointment -You. And this one, a group, only one seat that is, who is left now, it's extraordinarily easy to OB Hold a vaccine. You have 40,000 pharmacies that can do it. You have pharmacies where you do not even need to call and make an appointment. You have just walked around you, I want to be vaccinated. You have community vaccine centers, you have mobile units. It is very easy to get vaccinated right now. "
Dr. Fauci warned that the variants would continue to develop
Mr. Fauci said he was trying to have a good manager on what the right approach would be with the variants, because we will continue to see variations until the rest of the world is essentially well controlled, this Who will not be for a few years, even if we support to have people we want to get the rest of the world vaccinated as quickly as possible. And I think we have, you know, a moral responsibility to do it. Not only because we are a country that has resources, but other rich countries should do so. But it's also when our own personal interest because when you have a lot of viral replication dynamics in any country in the world, it generates variants. And when he does it sooner or later, because of the interconnectivity of the world, we will see variants here. But one of the things we are, we really want to nail, but it seems, as I mentioned, it seems like it looks very good that if you get a high level of immunity against the virus Origin, it makes SP patient protection against many of the variants. "

Mr. Fauci says he felt more confident in the vaccine now than in December
"In December 2020, we had the results of clinical trials, which were very impressive, you know, 94%, 95%," says Dr. Fauci ", but it's often the case, when you enter in The real world of how the vaccine occurs outside the Vierristine conditions of clinical trials, it does not generally seem as good as it looks like clinical trials. On the contrary, we see the opposite. Now we see that when you see that when you Get data, not only from the United States, I mean, when I say data, I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of people followed in potential cohort studies, data are at least as good, if not better - not only Against what we call the wild-type virus, namely who is the standard, but when variants appear, the vaccine seems to do very well against them too. So it's really a very good news. "
Dr. Fauci said that the immunity of the flock is not just a number
With regard to the immunity of the flock: "We do not know what the immunity threshold of the flock," says Dr. Faisci. "We know what it is for measles. We believe that it is between 70 and 85% for" coronavirus "." But we do not know with certainty when you do not know with certainty, the thing to do is Make forward, get as many people vaccinated as possible. And when you get this level of protection, it turns out to be the threshold of flock immunity. You will know it because you will see that infections are almost disappearing when you get it at this level. "And to cross the healthiest life, do not miss theseFirst signs you have a serious illness.
