Dr. Fauci says that the immunity of the flock "will kill a lot of people"
Incorrectly infecting the population with coronaviruses would result in unnecessary death, he says.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the concept of immunity from flocks infected much of the population with a virus to achieve mass protection against the virus - has been launched. However,Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Key Member of the Working Group on the Coronavirus of the White House, clarified his reflections on this subject. During a discussion Thursday withYahoo NewsChief Editor Daniel Klaidman and Chief Correspondent of the Inquiry, Michael Isikoff, Mr. Faisci said it would result in unnecessary death of too many people.

Why is Dr. Fauci against the immunity of herds?
Mr. Fauci was asked about the Barrington Declaration, organized by experts from infectious disease, Dr. Martin Kulldorff of Harvard University, Dr. Sunsetra Gupta from the University of Oxford and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of the Stanford University and signed by more than 9,000 scientific medical and public health care from around the world - and reportedly approved by the White House. The declaration opposes the speakers and encourages the spread of the most vulnerable virus of young and healthy individuals, while protecting the elderly and vulnerable.
While Dr. Faisci agrees that "we must protect the vulnerables" and "do not want to lock or close in the country", the immunity of the flock is not the solution, he says, mainly because of the high percentage of The population with pre-existing conditions.
"If you just let someone enter and everyone is infected, do not do itmasks, let the children be infected, let everyone be infected and protecting the vulnerable to be very careful in retirement homes and places like that - it does not work because in our community, there may be Being a third of the population, depending on how you understand it, which are vulnerable and would be likely to get serious complications from Covid-19 disease, "he explained.
"It's impossible and we have never protected these people from the community. They are not in retirement homes where you can do things in retirement homes. You have the elderly, obese people, the People with underlying conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and other conditions, "he continued.
Allowing it would happen would be deadly, it feels.
"If you let infections will tear, as it was and said, let everyone be infected, it will be able to be infected, then we will have a flock immunity, frankly, it's a nonsense "," He said. "Anyone who knows that epidemiology will tell you that it is a nonsense and very dangerous, because what will happen is that if you do that when you arrive at The immunity of the flock, you would have killed a lot of people who would have been avoidable. "

The debate on the immunity of the flock continues
Fauci added that people who have praised flock immunity are not trained in an infectious disease and that "the standard inhabitants of the whole country that include infectious diseases and include epidemiology with the exception of the few. Known, who are talking about everyone totally disagree with this idea of just letting everyone get infected. "
He also pointed out that Dr. Deborah Birx, "a very experienced person of infectious disease" and coordinator of the Coronavirus Working Group of the White House, as well as Dr. Robert Redfield, Director of Disease Control Centers and prevention, all agree with him. "All three of us are very clear against that," he confirmed.
Others disagree, especially those on the right. "If the Democrats really want to follow science - rather than politics - in the fight against Covid-19, they may want to consider more closely" The Great Declaration of Barrington ", writes Andy Puzder onFoxnews.com. "It recommends to allow people to live normally despite the virus while protecting the most vulnerable elements of the population to avoid the physical, mental, economic and educational shocks" devastating.
Traditional media have essentially ignored the statement, but to date more than 5,500 medical and public health scientists and 11,000 medical practitioners have signed it. These figures continue to grow. "
