Fauci Tells Congress: ‘No Guarantee That Vaccine Will Be Effective’
cnbc.com ^ | MAY 12 2020

Posted on 05/12/2020 9:40:06 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Fauci delivered the somber warning Tuesday to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions during a hearing about the road to reopening businesses across the nation. U.S. officials have pointed to the development of a vaccine as a key turning point in the Covid-19 pandemic, even though it will take a at least 12 to 18 months.

As experimental vaccines are created, they will also need to be mass produced to be administered to the more than 7.6 billion people around the world. In the meantime, there are not yet proven treatments for virus.

Fauci’s comments highlight another complexity in the path to a vaccine.

“You can have everything you think that’s in place and you don’t induce the kind of immune response that turns out to be protective and durably protective,” Fauci said of a vaccine. “So one of the big unknowns is, will it be effective?"

Bill Gates has long indicated he’d he’d feel safer if a billion or two people suddenly disappeared.

Well, in fairness, so would I, but I suspect Bill and I would not disappear the same people.

It is exactly correct.

I think the probability of a successful SARS CoV 2 vaccine is less then 20%. People are talking about it as if it’s just a matter of time - no one is quite sure how much time - but the fact is, no successful CoV vaccine has ever been developed, and success with this one is unlikley.

Well, I have read that they actually had a vaccine, but they didn’t test it because SARS-CoV disappeared.

Fauci didn't cause this and who knows what may have happened if the President never listened..

Same thing that happened in South Dakota with ZERO lockdowns? Only 9 deaths as at last week?
Or Sweden? Faf lower deaths than the UK Spain Italy Belgium and France when Sweden had no lockdowns?
Fauci should be hanging for the grief, pain, suicide and other deaths and suffering he was wrought.

He comes across as the classic "scientist" the lefties love. Every action he addresses seems to be addressed by "We can't do this because..."

We need a positive "go to" guy that wants to solve problems not analyze the snot out of them.

ome things we'll never know but them screw models (that I scoffed at along with the best of the scoffers) are being approached as far as deaths approaching the 100K mark despite our actions.

So what happened to the 2.2 million dead model that Fauci and Birx were pushing before? Which they used to force lockdowns and help destroy the best economy we ever had?

Odd, just like the cure for the common cold that we have been waiting for for over 70 years now. For those of you who you who do not know, it is different types of coronavirus behind most of the 450 varieties of common cold that we all have to deal with. There will not be be a vaccine anytime soon for COVID-19, just like there isn’t one for all the other colds out there.

The Establishment and it’s flying-monkey mass media hyped up a bad cold to destroy the economy and America.

We are ruled by criminals and idiots.

OMG he went to Regis. Now I know where he gets his attitude. A bunch of self entitled twits who had a hot day on the entry exam to the tuition free Jesuit school. Guys from Xavier, Fordham Prep and Brooklyn Prep, the other NYC Jebbie schools, had one thing in common. We hated Regis and the condescending attitude of its students. Yep Fauci has Regis written all over him.

Don’t worry. When the vaccine does not work then they will just try another one. And so on.

So I asked myself how many vaccines for other coronavirii exist? And this is the answer I got:

According to Rachel Roper, a professor of immunology at East Carolina University who took part in efforts to develop a SARS vaccine, the FDA has never approved a vaccine for humans that is effective against any member of the coronavirus family, which includes SARS, MERS, and several that cause the common cold.

“And the flu maybe kills a few hundred to several thousand a year.”

You are flat-out out wrong. The flu kills tens of thousands per year just in America and hundreds of thousands globally every year.

“Overall, the CDC estimates that 12,000 and 61,000 deaths annually since 2010 can be blamed on the flu. Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the flu kills 290,000 to 650,000 people per year. ”

source: https://www.health.com/condition/cold-flu-sinus/how-many-people-die-of-the-flu-every-year

By believing that ‘the flu only kills hundreds to maybe thousands a year’ you are buying into the propaganda that this lockdown is justified because roughly 30K have died due to Covid-19.

All of the Karen FReepers who have been dumping on me for weeks for saying the EXACT SAME THING may apologize at any time.

This is becoming really stupid. Waiting for 12-18 months doesn’t make any sense. Plan B is necessary: Tell people to normalize their level of vitamin D. I have read that 42% of Americans are vitamin D insufficient or deficient. There are studies that show that most Covid-19 critical cases are vitamin D insufficient or deficient. The slogan should be “Take vitamin D and avoid the ICU.”

Thank you for your excellent post. The level of hate by people including those in this discussion board on this one doctor is crazy.

Bill has also expressed concern that he wants a clause freeing him from lawsuits over his global vaccine. By his own estimate there could be 700,000 cases with bad effects. But everyone would need to take it.

What was the point of convening this hearing today? To give Fauci a platform? They knew what he would say if given the floor. Could they not have done something positive for the people, like confirming some judges?

“Takeaway: There will be multiple vaccines and they will be MANDATORY for every person on earth.”

And what is to stop our ‘benevolent’ dictators from one day deciding to add in a sterilization drug in their mandatory vaccines in order to save the earth from the plague of human population?

In America, staring in the beginning of the 20th century eugenicists were sterilizing Deplorables.

In 1927 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in Buck v. Bell that laws mandating the sterilization of the mentally handicapped did not violate the Constitution. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes made an explicitly eugenic argument in writing for the majority:

“It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind.”

Please note that the black robed tyrants of the Supreme Court have never expressly overturned Buck v. Bell.
