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

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?"

Exactly.

It's like asking your mom if you should take up skydiving as a hobby.

Whatever Fauci's faults, he is going to err on the side of caution when it comes to disease.

Staying locked down until a safe, effective vaccine is widely available and distributed is a fool’s errand. That is moving the goal post WAY too far.

He’s been there for 30 years plus, and now the Dems are looking to blame this administration. The idiots forget that this Fauci turd is part of this administration, but then they thank him.

Mr Fauci, do you plan to force all of us to take an unproven Vaccination? ...And destroy our economy until we have this unproven vaccination?

Fauci runs a fiefdom of five billion dollars a year.

Jet sets around the works to conferences. Has perqs paid for by corporate interests.

36 years of it. Good life.

Quest for a HIV vaccine stared in 1984. Still none in sight. Worldwide 35 million have died from it since 1981

Someone ask that fudgepacker where the mountains of corpses are in Georgia? Where’s the awesome Zombie Apocalypse that was supposed to happen when they opened up? I had my boomstick cleaned, loaded, and ready, and just oiled and gassed up the chainsaw! We were gypped! This Apocalypse sucks! I want a refund!

No vaccination is completely effective. If they were, we would not need a flu shot each year

Agree. His decisions have been awful during this lockdown. Let’s pray that he is reelected despite these horrendous calls.

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