This was a year of figures-18.8 million coronavirus cases, 326,000 deaths, which can numb. Behind everyone is an American who is-or try to spend, just like you. That's why this last issue is so surprising: 90%. This can take 90% of all Americans to get the COVID vaccine before reaching the immunity of the flock and return to normal, according to a new interview withDr. Anthony FauciThe first infectious infectious expert of the nation and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. According to the census office, there are 328 million Americans. 90% of this represent 295 200,000.

So far, one million people have been vaccinated. Long way to go.

Fauci had previously declared 70% or more would work. Read to find out why he has revised this number - and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.

"The actual range is somewhere between 70 and 90%"

Fauci admitted that he had deliberately lowered the number so as not to encourage undue fear. "When the polls said that only half of all Americans would adopt a vaccine, I said that the flock of immunity would take 70 to 75%," said Dr. FaisciNew York Times. "Then, when the most recent surveys said 60% or more would take it, I thought," I can push it a little ", so Igone to 80, 85."

"We have to have a humility here," he added. "We really do not know what the actual number is. I think the actual beach is about 70 to 90%. But I will not say 90%."

Fauci defined the immunity of the flock, recently, saying on the podcast of FivethirtyightPodcast-19: "It means that until you get a degree of immunity, that the level of infection is so low in the population, that there is not really a threat of a person who is infected. " Then we could stop with public health measures - contrary to what we need it most. "Because when you get the virus right now, we have a vast expanse of the community in the United States. If you go down to a very, very very low base, you could start withdrawing things like a mask bearing and gather. You can start going to the restaurants and go to a movie or go to a theater, but until you get this level of really low virus by vaccinating a substantial proportion of the population, you must always have some measure public health. What do you implement. "

Reach 70 to 90% is all the more the reason to be vaccinated, say to doctors

Darren P. Mareiniss, MD, Facece, Clinical Faculty of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Einstein's Medical Center in Philadelphia, got his vaccine this week and urges you to do the same. "We can not allow the continued propagation of this deadly virus with the hope of running his course," he says. "There is a quick and effective option that will achieve the objectives of the immunity of herds without unnecessary death: immunization. By mass vaccination, we can end the terrible and destructive pandemic without the carnage of the immunity of flock through uncontrolled viral propagation. "

Fuci hopes that people will be convinced. In polls, some say they think the vaccine has been precipitated and therefore not safe. Others are anti-vaccines.

"If you look at the anti-vaxxeurs as a whole," said Fauci in October, "there is a hardcore group that no matter what you do, you're not going to change your mind, but there is also a group against vaccines because they have absorbed misinformation. And if you could, in a non-confrontal manner, give them the correct information, you may be able to win them if they were open enough to realize that the information on which the information on which They did. Their judgment not to want to be vaccinated is actually incorrect. And you could give them the correct information. There are a number of other people who are not vaccinated because they do not have time, But they are not fully appreciated the importance and severity of it. If you can facilitate vaccination, you can win at least one segment of people who for one reason or another do not want to be vaccinated. "
