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?"

What is most disturbing is Trump’s seeming indifference to the widespread loss of freedom in this country and his forebearing tolerance with the loose cannons Fauci and Birx. Trump is abdicating too much authority to them and its irreparably damaging the country and our lives.

Much of his base is very frustrated with his allowing unelected bureaucrats to establish policy and effectively rule us. He seems tone deaf to it.

....

Very much agree! Did they threaten his family or something?

And I could give a rats rear-end if I’m labeled a “NeverTrumper” for my criticism of Trumps inaction on this!

[[Yes, he said even rural counties should not open until ALL federal guidelines have been met and everyone is completely healthy.]]

The mega rich, telling the working class folks they can’t work- yet offering no viable solution for the out of work folks to carry on with life financially- all because the mega rich want to control the population-

This is not about safety- this is about relinquishing control over one’s life, back to the people- which the government is fiercely trying to prevent-

He is a deep state Soros/Hillary hack that sucked the government teat his whole life. If Trump wasn’t a germaphobe himself he would have dumped this clown already.

Right now we’re at those beautiful. Where we defeated the virus nationally that happened on April 16 and we have the good states versus bad states red states versus blue states Democrats versus America narrative this is going to go on for the next month or two

it’s gonna be really fun

And you can already see the other narrative developing which is the avalanche of information showing that the entire Russia thing was a hoax that the Democrats are liars on me to the entire Ukraine impeachment thing was a giant hoax and the Democrats are completed and other liars can go on TV and say one thing and then say something else when they’re on the road

Trump does play the long game and of course he’s going to let this narrative play out because it’s a very good benefit for Republicans in the kids Democrats as Democrats piss off their own constituency

Then when it’s summer the virus is long gone everything’s opened up then we’re going to get the Durham indictments of all the players and have them be on trial all the way through the fall and all those revelations and all that evidence come out it’s going to be absolutely fine and beautiful to watch

In the late eighteenth century a French doctor invented a 100% effective cure for all headaches. His name was Guillotine. Fauchi and the DemonShits intend to use the same cure on the on the American economy to deal with the Chi Com Virus.

How about all these elitist powers that be, be forced to put all their money in a bank, and not be allowed to touch it- till AFTER they think the country is safe- and be forced to try to survive in the meantime, like we the people are forced to, without hardly any money?

I bet they will change their tune right off quick and reopen the country!

Fauci is kneeling in the yearbook photo so it's hard to tell how he compared to the rest of the team heightwise.

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

Well, he keeps empowering Fauci and providing ammunition to those who intend to destroy the economy. That does not seem like a good strategy to get reelected.

Isn’t it way past time for the time honored statement by the President to this hack? You know, “You’re Fired”?

***************

It is but Fauci, the 35 year career bureaucrat and crafty Swamp creature, has boxed Trump in. Got to give grudging credit to the little tyrant for worming his way into an unassailable position. Trump misunderestimated Fauci and now can’t get rid of him. A couple weeks ago he probably could have reorganized Fauci and Birx out of their high profile positions but its probably too late now.

Hey Fauci, how has the attempt to make an AIDS vaccine been going across the last forty years or so?

Did you get desperate enough to try an experiment straight out of a nightmare in a Wuhan China laboratory?

Asking for the entirety of humankind that is paying the price for that experiment.

Isn’t it possible that this hearing is deflecting the news about the Obama link to General Myers case?

You can have a vaccine that is:

quick to market
safe
effective

Choose two of the three.

Lib governors are already using it as an excuse to keep businesses closed almost indefinitely....see the state of Oregon.

I'm hoping some of these folks can scrape together enough resources to just get the heck out of those states. Drop their electoral college numbers, get to a red state, and leave any blue voting habits behind them.

What exactly is Fauci good for? First it’s “wait for the vaccine,” then “there may never be an effective vaccine.” May up your mind, boy!!
