As the bars reopen, Dr. Faisci warns of "higher risk"
Bars and restaurants "give you a higher risk of transmissibility."
As hoping that a vaccine takes the title stem, the reality is as follows: there is none. Still. SoDr. Anthony Fauci, the main infectious infectious expert of the Nation continuedAll in with Chris HayesTo discuss, yes, the vaccine, but also how you can stay safe today, right now. Read to hear its essential advice and protect your health and health of others, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.
Dr. Fauci says that bars should remain closed
About closed-stayed bars, says Dr. FaCi: "I totally agree." Yet they now reopen in states such as Florida, an old Hotspot of Covid. "In fact, the CDC has just released - if you go to the website of a figure, it really says that it shows the chances of risking different types of situations that give you a higher risk of transmissibility and which you divert from the figure is restaurants, bars and gymnasiums. When you have restaurants inside in a situation where you have a high degree of infection in the community, you do not wear mask, It's a problem. And that's why we have very clear when we make a recommendation, depending on the level of infection in the community, you have to look very carefully in things like Bars are a very important place for spreading infection. There is no doubt about it. And it becomes particularly important if you are in an area with a high degree of spreading the community. So it's things that are crystalline. "
Dr. Fauci stated that the comparison of masks and vaccines is a false comparison
Director CDC Robert Redfield said masks can be more effective protection against coronavirus than any potential vaccine, but Fauci clarified: "I think there was a misinterpretation about it. What Dr. Redfield said that until we have a vaccine, masking, physical distance and avoid crowds is the way health is the way of public health. I would not like to compare the effectiveness of a vaccine against a mask. There are two independent ways we want to syner with each other. "
And he added: the masks are great
"It's really important that people wear masks. And when we see big crowded events and that people not wearing masks, it's not good. I was crystal for a long time. Yes. And what I said, I do not say that there is an ambiguity of what I said. The masks are important. They are effective combined with physical distancing, avoiding crowds and washing their hands . And it works. End of history. "
Dr. Fauci said when we would return to "normality"
With regard to the vaccine, Fauci said who would obtain it first: "You want to get the people who would benefit most and who need it most like health workers, such as those who have conditions under -Jace like those with the elderly .... there will be enough doses in the first quarter that if you have vaccinated everyone, you would be able to do it ... what we know about what happens when you deploy vaccines, that people often hesitate, right? And even if the vaccines are there to be able to administer, people can say, well, you know, I want to wait for a number of millions of people to be vaccinated before deciding that I want. What does it mean from a practical point of view is that when we speak, when do we have enough of America vaccinated that we can start feeling that we will come back to a form of normality. It's most likely ... somewhere at third and at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2021. "
Dr. Fauci says he will take the vaccine
"Yes," he replied when asked if he would take the vaccine. "There are multiple safe measures that will be quite transparent. And let me just take a quick time to explain that. There is what is called the data monitoring commission and security associated with the test. vaccination, an independent group to be held by the government, not at the FDA, not to the pharmaceutical company, not to me. They will examine the data, they will analyze it and they will determine there sufficiently Statistically to say that this is effective? and obviously security problems arise. When you get an unwanted event, once this information becomes available, the company will go to the FDA and say, we would like to apply to a request vaccine license or emergency authorization. "
"The FDA will make the judgment as to whether, according to their criteria that should be done," he continued. "And it will be advisory bodies and they will be people like me, like the director of NIH, who will look at that. And I can tell you that there will be a degree of transparency. No, of course, there is obviously a lot of Talking about political pressure, but the only thing we need to rely on the FDA has made clear clearly explicitly that they will not be influenced by political considerations. We with the scientific community and the scientific community are very adorable about it . So, if in fact, it seems that the vaccine is safe and effective. I can tell the American public that I would take the vaccine when making sure of me. And I will recommend to my family they take. "
Dr. Fauci does not comment on politics but shared a message intended to reassure
"The only thing I can say is that there are many people are ... animated by the truth. And I think the American people should have confidence in this, that many people look at that very, Very carefully to make sure it does not contain political things that should be scientific considerations. I am one of them. And I have a number of colleagues who are with me, which adds to we delete the virus.
