We "have" to do it now to stop Covid

Dr. Faisci called Covid-19 vaccine administration when so many people die "Bittersweet". "We should celebrate the fact that science has crossed, but it's not over yet," he said. "We have ways to go there.We must respect the public health measures we talk about all the time. It will not just turn around overnight. We have ways to go there. And public health measures are the bridge to get to the vaccine, which will come out. "

King asked Fauci: "What do you think [that] will take now to have a real impact to slow the spread of this virus?" "What we will see is an increase in the number of people who finally become vaccinated. When you reach a certain percentage of the population to be vaccinated, you can really have a significant and profound impact on the dynamics of the epidemic. So it will take a few months to do that, "revealed Dr. Faisci.

He explained that the first level of people to be vaccinated includes health care providers as well as those who occupy retirement homes and long long-term facilities. "And then, you will start to see other priorities upcoming," he continued.

"The challenge is acceptance on the part of various elements of our society and we work very hard and that minority populations have naturally some skepticism," he said. "I came out there, my colleagues were there trying to sensitize this group of individuals and explain the things that make them skeptical."

One of the reasons why some are hesitant to do with "the speed with which it happened". However, fauci retains the speed is actually "a very good thing" because "speed is a reflection of the extraordinary scientific progress of the technology of the vaccine platform that allowed us to get here quickly and also the huge investment that has been done to develop and produce doses of vaccine.
