Fauci: vaccine only prevents symptoms, doesn’t block the virus
Yahoo ^ | 10-26-20 | https://www.yahoo.com/author/anjalee-khemlani

At least four candidates are near the finish line in the U.S. coronavirus vaccine race, but how well they will work remains a question. A key point to note, however, is that the vaccine isn’t an end-all solution to the pandemic. That’s in large part because any inoculations developed now are focused on simply preventing symptoms from arising, rather than blocking out the virus altogether.

Depends on if he was naughty or nice?

Are you disagreeing with America’s top epidemiologist (Since the 80s) when he says vaccines don’t prevent disease? What is your pedigree compared to his?

The question about preventing infection and preventing infectivity hasn’t been answered in the negative - it just can’t be answered at all, right now.

Yeah, its the same thing for contracting the disease. They STILL won't say (don't know) if you are effectively immune from future exposures after an initial exposure and effective immune response, but most likely you are.

Even though I disagree with him, Fauci has been right about this crisis in terms of waves and areas that will be hit hard. Are you saying we should disagree with America’s top epidemiologist (Since the 80s) when he says vaccines don’t prevent disease? What is your pedigree compared to his?

Anthony is not an epidemiologist, never has been.

His expertise is the biology of the T lymphocyte and its role in orchestrating human immune responses.

Well first of all Fsuci no longer practices clinical medicine and hasn’t for many years. I do. We both have the same degree o I am qualified to comment on the errors of his interpretations. I am not really part of the swamp, he is. I am boarded in critical care, he is not. So I am pretty sure that I can comment the surge we saw was no worse than the one I. July with higher numbers of positives ergo we can conclude that we see over testing or the disease is simply not as bad as originally thought.

I could go on but holding an MD qualifies me to comment on someone with the same trainings opinion.

Are you saying Fauci is stupid? Or is he a liar? Why would America’s Medical Leadership put a stupid person in charge? Why would they put a liar in charge?

Are you saying Fauci unqualified to lead America in this Covid crisis? Or is he a liar? Why would America’s Medical Leadership put an unqualified person in charge? Why would they put a liar in charge?

He’s not a liar. He is just wrong. If you want to date Fauci check out his tinder. Early on in the pandemic he said we need to lock down and wear masks but tinder hook ups were ok. Sounds like you are infatuated with him.

Hey, go for it.

Has Fauci found the 25 million Americans who died of AIDS yet?

FRAUDci hasn’t gotten anything right.

You do realize this guy has NEVER treated patients of his own, in his ‘doctor’s’ office, right?

He went straight to a gov’t job, right out of school.

He’s nothing but a career, gov’t hack.

He was also VERY wrong, on AIDS....of which he also kept insisting on a vaccine....that never came to pass.

The guy is a tool.

So Fauci is either in error, unqualified, or he is lying. The next question is Why would America’s Medical Leadership put an unqualified, erroneous, or a liar in charge of this Covid crisis? Why would they put him in charge of the HIV crisis? Why should Americans trust our Medical Leadership when they put such erroneous, unqualified, Liars in charge?

That’s my point. Why would I trust a Medical System that puts Fauci in charge?

You like to put words in people’s mouth. America’s medical leadership is nonexistent as you portray it. FAuci as head of NIAID is pretty much a political appointment. He does not actively practice and is not an epidemiologist. He has a pretty good publicist. He is federally paid so he also has his biases

I am happy you are in love with the guy. In my equally qualified opinion as a physician, in my judgment he is inconsistent and incorrect on a lot of things. But since he is not my boss and I don’t work for him I don’t have to agree with or follow his advice.

Thus is it NOT a ‘vaccine’:

It is a PROPHYLAXIS.
