Dr. Faisci has just said the four words you were waiting to hear
It's been months of bad news with Covid epidemics. Now, Fauci has a little hope.
It feels like anotherTurning point with the covid pandemic. After weeks of falling coronavirus case numbers at the national level, we had a change of luck andCases are now climbing In 32 states of the United States,The New York Timesreports. But it's not all bad news, according toAnthony Fauci, MD. In a conversation withCable large publisherSteven LevyPosted on September 30,Fauci actually sounded optimistic, especially when you discuss the Covid vaccine. In fact, Fauci said the positive words you were probably waiting for:"This epidemic will end."
He added, "We will have a vaccine. And then if we combine a vaccine with conservative public health measures, we can put this epidemic behind us."
Levy said to Fauci that he has among the majority of Americans who aresuspect that a vaccine could be precipitated before the election of November. This statistic to which it refers is likely from 17 September of the PEW Research Center, which found that 77% of Americansbelieve that a vaccine would be approved Before it can be proven safe and efficient and 78% think that the process moves too quickly. As a result, only 21% of US adults surveyed reported that they certainly plan to get the vaccine, a drastic fall of May when 42% said they would be vaccinated.
"Fear is understandable, but if I give you the facts, I hope you would see that it was not reasonable," said Fauci, adding that he fully confidence in the process. "How the system is configured, it [are] independent bodies that have access to data that no one else has access to. And they make the decision on the basis of scientific data,If the vaccine is safe and effective. "This data monitoring board and security, composed of clinicians, vaccinologists, statisticians and ethicologists, are" the only ones ... who examine the data intermittent and they can come to a number of conclusions ".
With five vaccines now in the final phase of the tests,Fauci reiterated the chronology of the vaccine He has already discussed. He believes "it is likely that we know if we have a safe and effective vaccine somewhere around November and December". He added that there will be about 100 million doses by the end of the year for those who need it most and up to 700 million doses by the end of April for the rest of the population .

Fuci has tried to regain public confidence with respect to a coronavirus vaccine in recent weeks. In an interview with Vox ReporterSean Rameswaram On September 25, he said, "Everyone is worried about what someone will make a finish revolving around that andTry to get a vaccine for political reasons. Well, that will not happen, but if that's the case ... it will be really transparent. Because scientists will see the data. The FDA has publicly committed several times that they will not approve of vaccine unless they have established that non-political scientists agree that it is safe and effective. "
Similarly, during an interview with Texas Tribune Festival on September 29, Fauci said: "I feelPrudent optimism, as a scientist, that we will have a safe and efficient vaccine. I think that will happen, and this will probably happen at this end of the calendar year. "
But in his conversation withCableFauci clearly indicated that the perspective of a vaccine is not the only reason why it is optimistic. Just put, he says that looking on the right side is the only way to cross this pandemic.
"We should not despair," cause despair makes you throw your hands and say, "No matter what I do, what will happen will happen," said Fuci. "It's incorrect. HeIs No matter what we do. And if we do it for a moment longer, we will look behind us and the epidemic will be behind us, not among us. And for something the immunologistisworried about,Dr. Fauci says that this state is "demanding trouble."
