Oct 2020: Dr Fauci warns that early COVID-19 vaccines will only prevent symptoms from arising - not block infection
UK Daily Mail ^ | 10/27/2020 | Megan Sheets

Dr Anthony Fauci has cautioned that early COVID-19 vaccines will be focused on preventing symptoms of the virus, not blocking it altogether.

Fauci, the nation's leading expert on infectious diseases, made the point on Monday as at least four vaccine candidates near the end of clinical trials and the US reported a record number of new cases in the last week.

While the end goal of the vaccines will be to eradicate the virus, Fauci noted that developers are aiming for a simpler goal in the first round of jabs.

'The primary thing you want to do is that if people get infected, prevent them from getting sick, and if you prevent them from getting sick, you will ultimately prevent them from getting seriously ill,' Fauci said at Yahoo Finance's All Markets Summit.

'If the vaccine also allows you to prevent initial infection, that would be great. [But] what I would settle for, and all of my colleagues would settle for, is the primary endpoint to prevent clinically recognizable disease.'

Assuming for a moment that this is true, and not his usual ignorant BS or outright lies;

Then by definition, it isn't a vaccine; It is a palliative at best.

And at worst, a gene modifying, behavior modifying, eugenic, 'Mark of the Beast' type tracking system like some of us 'tin hatters' suspect.

We are all lost without Saint Anthony Fauci.

Thanks Jim. As usual far more eloquent than anything I could come up with. You reference ongoing divergence between placebo and severe illness. Can you private mail those numbers or put them out on this thread?

” the nation’s leading expert on infectious diseases “

No he isn’t. Not even close.

And if a “vaccine” doesn’t prevent infection, it’s not a vaccine, just a treatment.

In that case, it’s not a “vaccine.”

Don’t believe anyone who has become an “expert” by fiat!

Don’t know if Fauci is deliberately shading the truth or the media is deliberately misrepresenting, or both. Probably both.

True, politicians and health care experts will continue to call for lockdowns and masks mandates. But, even so, more and more will ignore those calls.

Is Fauci suggesting that an effective vaccine will create a magical barrier around everyone and prevent the virus from getting into your body? WTF. Preventing or minimizing symptoms of a virus is what a vaccine does! Does this idiot know anything????

Good evening.
You probably need to have mods put in correction. This article is from OCTOBER 27, Not DECEMBER 27.
