Dr. Fauci says that the first vaccine will not kill the virus
The release of a vaccine will not automatically end the coronavirus crisis.
Everyone is looking forward to the release of a coronavirus vaccine, hoping it will eliminate the virus and restart the pace of normal life.
Not so fast, suggestedDr. Anthony Fauci, the best infectious expert-infectious disease of the nation, Monday. He stated that vaccines under development are designed to prevent symptoms, do not kill the virus.

What did Dr. Dempi say about the vaccine?
"The main thing you want to do is that if people are infected, prevent them from getting sick, and if you prevent them from getting sick, you will prevent them from becoming seriously ill," said Façi during a finance event Yahoo on Monday.
"If the vaccine also allows you to prevent initial infection, it would be great," he added. "But what I'm going to content myself, and all my colleagues would be content, is the main criterion to prevent clinically recognizable diseases."
Fauci previously stated that he would like to see a coronavirus vaccine from 70% to 75% effective, but the first vaccine can only be effective by 50% to 60%. This incomplete protection, associated with the reluctance of many Americans to obtain the first version of the vaccine, means that the vaccine alone may not end the crisis.
Face masks: here to stay for a moment
Fauci and other health officials have warned that even after the publication of a vaccine, the Americans should continue with certain current public health measures (such as wearing face masks and social distancing) for Protect for a moment.
"Face masks are the most important and important public health tool we have, "said Robert Redfield, the CDC leader in September." I could even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against Covid than when I take a Covid vaccine ... when I take a Covid vaccine because immunogenicity can be 70%, and if I do not get an immune response to the vaccine, it will not protect me. This facial mask will be. "
Four vaccines in final studies
Four companies have developed coronavirus vaccines that are now in first ordeal:Astrazeneca, Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. Pfizer may be able to report on the effectiveness of its vaccine by the second half of November. If everything goes well, it could receive an emergency authorization by the end of the year.
Some United Kingdom companies carry out "challenge tests" that intentionally infect participants in a virus to see how effective a potential vaccine for the fight. But Fauci said that because the coronavirus infection is so widespread in the United States, the general public is the best sample of study.
"Although you can get good information about a challenge test, the real world information you want to appear on the ground when someone is being exposed to a natural infection and determine if the vaccine prevents against that, "said Fauci. "At the moment, we do not plan any challenge study because we have so much infection."
