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.'

Vaccines don’t prevent symptoms. They work on the immune system to pre-train it for exposure. There is no way to prevent symptoms without providing some immunity.

The big problem we have today is too many people knowing things that aren’t true. And they are not afraid to share their ignorance for all to partake. They read an article and then they repeat it endlessly. The rest of us don’t stand a chance against their insistence that they are smart. One thing about stupid people is they have no frame of reference for how stupid they are. They see themselves doing something clever and they think they are actually smart.

So, if you get it, will you spread it? That is a pretty critical question, because if it doesn’t prevent spread, it is useless.

mRNA vaccines that were never approved by FDA in the past for anything

mRNA vaccines have been used in Oncology for many years.

It’s a graphic in the Pfizer EUA application, I’ll see if I can find a link since I can’t host it myself.

Fauci is a biden supporter, and biden intends to have him stay on under his projected “presidency”.

Therefore, no one can believe anything Fauci says—unfortunately!!!!

If the vaccine is no better than cold medicine there is no point in taking it.

No he isn’t. Not even close.

It doesn’t matter what you and I think of Dr Fauci if the leadership of the entire world treats him as the World’s Most Respected

Then it isn’t a vaccine and it’s worthless.

Furthermore, I truly believe that little prick just can’t let go of his “celebrity” status and will say/do anything to remain in the spotlight.

Interesting approach to create a vaccine for a “disease” that will get rid of symptoms when the disease itself has no symptoms

I think you’ve completely captured the motivations of the good Dr Fauci ! Nothing more needs to be said.

Fauci is a diabolical fearmonger.

May 2021 NOT be kind to him.

Agreed. Many of those co-morbidities aren’t even detected until the autopsy, because in life they weren’t severe enough to manifest symptoms. (Example: some auto-immune disorders.)

Every day, Fauci reminds me more and more of Kevorkian.
