Dr. Anthony Fauci on Friday said it’s possible that Americans could eventually carry around certificates of immunity to the coronavirus once proper testing is widespread enough.
“That’s possible,” Dr. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on CNN’s “New Day.”
“It’s one of those things that we talk about when we want to make sure that we know who the vulnerable people are and not,” he said. “This is something that’s being discussed. I think it might actually have some merit.”
Sen. Bill Cassidy, Louisiana Republican, has pitched the idea of an immunity registry to document people no longer believed to be at risk of infection.
Federal and state officials have said that antibody testing to try to determine whether someone had the coronavirus is one of the next major fronts in the battle against COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus.
Dr. Fauci said that within about a week, there will be a “rather large number” of tests that are available but that validating them is key.
“Other countries have gotten burned by this,” he said. “They need to be validated. You need to make sure that they’re consistent and that they’re accurate.”
“It’s very likely that there are a large number of people out there that have been infected, have been asymptomatic, and did not know they were infected,” Dr. Fauci said. “If their antibody test is positive, one can formulate kind of strategies about whether or not they would be at risk or vulnerable to getting reinfected.”

On top any other concerns (for which there might be safeguards) it would create a false sense of security.
Trump knows firing Fauci now would cause the commie media to spew peas..he is gonna wait til the country is back up and running then he will fire his a@@
Sort of like a yellow star on a black armband? That kind of carry?
Agreed. He’s a little fascist in my opinion and is doing everything in his power to extend this situation indefinitely so he can continue be in the spotlight and give daily briefings. When this all over I want to see him hanging from a lamppost by his heels.
Fauxi is living large and in charge. He is going to fall soon, he has already failed. Within 14 days this idiot will be sidelined by Team Trump-Kudlow-Meadows who will get Trump re-elected and no Fauxi-Birx will be getting in their way. (Mark Meadows the new Chief of staff for Trump)
For Fauxi - “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall”
Like the vaccine this is just another carrot to tempt us to further submission because “it will be over soon and we will come roaring back”.
Certificates won’t happen because they will be unfair. One moves forward when we all move forward. Not fair for the certified Corona elite to be able to lead their lives as they see fit.
No doubt the vaccine will be doled out based on Prog political priorities.
Another reason they will not happen is because massive amounts of people will deliberately expose themselves so as to gain immunity and get the certificate. Cant have that level of civil disobedinace.
Remember we are SLOWING the spread NOT Stopping the spread. So get it and get your certificate.
How Nazi of him.
yep
This guy should be in a senior citizens home... And we all know what’s happening in our senior citizen homes right now... I’d give him a week or two before he catches it and, survives it... I’m not that heartless.
Go to Hell with your mark of the beast.
Talk is cheap. There will be no shooting. People will roll over house by house, street by street, community by community. Frogs in the pot...
No papers! No work!
“Fng Nazis still out there. Unbelievable.”
They never left, just went underground, like American communists did after Sen. McCarthy.
I think the Fourth Reich dream is very much alive.
Oh, a TRAVEL PASS, like “essential” workers have now.
Papers, please!
Win-win for our domestic enemies, who can call Trump gestapo in time for the election.
Who are the ladies sitting? The one in the middle looks like Roselyn Carter, have no idea who is on the left, and the lady on the right looks disturbingly like Margaret Thatcher.
and Fauci would NOT have banned flights from China, the flights would still be coming in..according to Fauci, hey the virus was gonna end up here anyway so mind as well give it a big hug and enjoy
Fauci should take a hike!!
President Trump, PLEASE fire his ass yesterday and send him to GITMO.
