Dr. Anthony Fauci says he would “settle” for a coronavirus vaccine that’s 70 percent to 75 percent effective – but warned that the US may not achieve herd immunity to the contagion if too many people refuse to be vaccinated, according to a report.
“The best we’ve ever done is measles, which is 97 to 98 percent effective,” the top US infectious disease expert told CNN. “That would be wonderful if we get there. I don’t think we will. I would settle for [a] 70, 75 percent effective vaccine.” (Snip) A recent CNN poll found one-third of Americans said they would not try to get a vaccine — even

Why anyone listens to Fauci, explains why America is in this situation. He is a government bureaucrat fraud with a license to lie.

So, let's whiz away billions to develop a vaccine for a virus that is come and hopefully gone, and which will continue to evolve in any case. It's not about the money...

“May not.” Right up there with “somebody said.” I want a job where i can just tell people what may or may not happen.

Dr. Fauci 'misoverestimated' the seriousness of the virus thirty times. Is anything he says worth spending a second on?

Wait..... democrats are insisting that we maintain the lockdowns until a CURE is found. And a vaccine in NOT a cure.
We have exactly zero cures for viruses.

As incurious as the CDC has been about how this disease transmits, whether asymptomatic people are infectious and if so when and for how long, how long immunity is maintained post recovery, how mutagenic this virus is, and scores of other vital bits on info, why exactly should we trust these government bureaucrats statements concerning anything ti do with a vaccine? It is pretty sad when you have to rely on foreign sources for valuable!e scientific and medical information because everything here has degenerated into partisan politics in a lab coat.

Doesn't a vaccine prevent herd immunity, ipso facto. You can't get immunity if you don't get the disease. And why would we need herd immunity if we have a vaccine?

Yes, if not enough people are vaccinated, this is exactly correct.
Personally, I'll take the vaccination, once it is ready.
Let the antivaxxers and other conspiracy folks rail away.

I understand you can’t target a virus strain with a vaccination as it mutates constantly. The vaccine will work only for that long gone strain.

Dr. Often Wrong speaks again!
After 8 years there is still no vaccine for MERS - another COVID virus. They lied when they said 12-18 months for a vaccine for COVID 19. Creating vaccines for a virus is a complicated, difficult process. Look at how many decades it took to create a vaccine for chicken pox, mumps, measles, and other deadly viruses. Dr. Often Wrong needs to be sidelined, now.

Fauci has been out there stirring the COVID-19 pot since the get-go. More and more people are realizing that he is a big time politicized bureaucrat who has through his many off the cuff statements caused a lot of confusion among the general population. You have to ask why has one bureaucrat like Fauci been allowed to continue on in that manner without any qualified medical or scientific pushback?

#18: Winner of the day for saying the most truthful thing. Herd immunity happens when people are out around various viruses, and hse been happening since mankind has been on earth. Vaccines are so full of toxins and not necessary at all for herd immunity, and I don't trust Bill Gate''s attitude of both wanting a massive depopulation and demanding that a vaccine be mandatory worldwide.

In case the younger crowd isn't aware, Fauci was the darling of the gay crowd when he was put in charge of the AIDS epidemic back in the Reagan era. He promised a vaccine then too. So where is it Dr.? It has been 34 years since you made the promise. Given the history of how the Gates ghouls sicken third world children with their vaccines, I would not be in a hurry to use any product associated with Bill or Melinda. Especially since they never bothered to vaccinate their own kids.

Your comment is not totally inaccurate, #21, but the time scale of mutations is such that it is likely that a vaccine will still be effective. The vaccine replicates a portion of the external structure of the vaccine, and while there is no doubt that RNA viruses drift steadily, the odds of the entire external structure changing dramatically in a short time are not high. It is possible that the particular piece of the exterior of the virus that is used for the vaccine may change suddenly, but not likely.
Imagine teaching people to identify a .57 Chevy by external factors...teaching them that they need to look for a specific style of rear fins and a chrome edged contrasting color swoop area down the side at the rear. The engine may change, or the interior, or the wheels, or the windows, but as long as the tail fins and chrome edged contrasting swoop are there, people will see it as a 57 Chevy.
