"We are in a very difficult situation" despite news of potential vaccines, he said.
Despite the good news of this week on a potential coronavirus vaccine,Dr. Anthony FauciThe top expert on infectious diseases of the nation warned that the world is "in a very difficult situation" heading towards the holiday season.

(This report has not yet been examined by peers and the Company has not yet requested the authorization or distribution of the vaccine).It was a light glow at the end of a pandemic tunnel almost throughout the year, but Fauci said the trip is far from over. "I want people to understand in the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom, we are in a very difficult situation," he said in an interview during theConference of the World Council of Financial Time Room Wednesday. "We see important cases in the United States."

Dr. Faisci said we had to "intensify" public health measures
Fauci pointed out that the United States had seen more than 100,000 new cases in the last 10 days, and more than 40 states had reported an increase. "Help is on the way, because vaccines will come," said Fuci. "But rather than relaxing our public health measures because we believe we have a vaccine, we should intensify them."
In the spirit of Fuci, we have to "all work globally to intensify our control efforts, because the vaccine begins to move," he said. "That's what we really need to do, rather than declare victory. We are very far from victory. We really need to double public health measures "such as the universal mask, and avoid crowds and gatherings.

News of the vaccine hope, he says, but not 100% guaranteed
The Pfizer vaccine has been developed from MRNA (messenger DNA), similar to certain cancer therapies that require the immune cells of the body to produce viral proteins, which the body recognizes as an invader and produces antibodies against. This is different from traditional vaccines, which use an inactivated virus to induce antibody production. An advantage of mRNA vaccines is that they can be produced faster than traditional methods, which require time to create large amounts of viruses.
Another company, Moderna, also used the mRNA method and should report the results of its weekend tests. Health officials have been pleasantly surprised by the results of Pfizer; Some had previously declared a vaccine from 50% to 70% effective would be acceptable.
Due to the similarity between the two vaccine candidates, Fauci is optimistic especially that several treatments will soon be available. "One of the things I learned over the decades, as it was, that I was involved in vaccines: Never be too confidential and do not assume anything," says Fauci. "But that's done A logical sense that if you treat with an almost identical candidate vaccine, in fact, is identical to many ways to the Pfizer product, I would be really surprised if we had not seen high degree of efficiency, it is not -be not 95%. This could be 90 or 96 or 89, but it's going to be up there. "

The recent propagation of the virus is "exponential ... quite disturbing"
That said, "It is very unfortunate that globally and including in the United States, we see unprecedented overvoltages of cases," said Fuci. "It's almost at an exponential level. I carefully looked at the data this morning and it's really disturbing enough."
