Fauci admits that COVID-19 vaccines do not protect 'overly well' against infection

White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci conceded that COVID-19 vaccines do not protect "overly well" against infection Tuesday on "Your World."

DR. FAUCI: One of the things that's clear from the data [is] that even though vaccines - because of the high degree of transmissibility of this virus - don't protect overly well, as it were, against infection, they protect quite well against severe disease leading to hospitalization and death. And I believe that's the reason, Neil, why at my age, being vaccinated and boosted, even though it didn't protect me against infection,

I feel confident that it made a major role in protecting me from progressing to severe disease. And that's very likely why I had a relatively mild course. So my message to people who seem confused because people who are vaccinated get infected - the answer is if you weren't vaccinated, the likelihood [is] you would have had [a] more severe course than you did have when you were vaccinated.

they protect quite well against severe disease leading to hospitalization and death

This is a completely unverifiable statement.

[know.your.why]

More news like this please!!!

[Kartographer]

I like to hear a response form the many FR Pro-Vaxxers, but I am betting all we will hear from them are crickets

[Migraine]

“Overly-well”: now THAT’S a follow-the-science term if I ever heard one. Sounds more like ordering steak in a restaurant.

[Kartographer]

What happened to: Frist do no harm?

My 82 year old uncle had the vaccine, got myocarditis, blood clots and died.

[semimojo]

This is a completely unverifiable statement.

”Data from Los Angeles County during the omicron surge showed that the COVID-19 hospitalization rate was 23 times higher among people who were unvaccinated compared with people who had received a COVID-19 vaccine series and booster.”

There are dozens and dozens of studies showing the same thing. The vaccines’ effectiveness against severe disease isn’t in question any longer.

“There are dozens and dozens of studies showing the same thing. The vaccines’ effectiveness against severe disease isn’t in question any longer.”

Riiiiight. In the words of the immortal Ernie Anastos, “Keep ****ing that chicken!”

[the OlLine Rebel]

Sorry, but your statement does not follow that study.

That is comparing unvax vs vax.

It does not compare this variant to another.

It won’t be shocking if more unvaxxed are more sickly - the question still, as always, is how many really go to the hospital at all.

(Of course, again, one cannot prove the negative, being that “I’d be sicker if not for the shot”....THAT is impossible to prove, especially when the entire virus was so survivable.)

[Allegra]

There are dozens and dozens of studies media reports showing the same thing. The vaccines’ effectiveness against severe disease isn’t in question any longer.

Vladimir Lenin called people like this “useful idiots.”

My aunt (elderly 82 but very healthy) got the clot shots....and she got not just myocarditis but “itis” in every organ in the torso after her 2nd shot. She survived, thank God, and no thanks to the asinine by-the-book protocols we strangely must follow regardless, since COVID hysteria.

My cousin (totally unrelated, other side family), very healthy 55, had just the 2 shots in Germany. After her 2nd she got myocarditis! She said never again.

BTW, aforementioned aunt got COVID last month, as did my German cousin.

So much for that protection.

Either way, they said never again - COVID better than clot shot.

[BenLurkin]

But...but...Fauci said it is “highly effective”...

Well, yeah. That’s the point. The unvaccinated are much more likely to get severe disease (be hospitalized). And it isn’t just Omicron.

[bray]

The clot shot does what it was designed to do.

[bray]

Did you MIL have remdesavir?

[Cobra64]

The shot (not a vaccine) is a gimmick. Most people are immune, yet are forced to be subjected to an experimental drug that kills people.

[D Rider]

I am glad they both made it. Have they researched any of thx Detox protocols? Of course, the myocarditis scars the heart, so detox will not fix that.

[taxesareforever]

Hey it is effective. However, effective in killing and maiming people.

[Secret Agent Man]

Of course you can prove a negative.

Prove you are not dead. I can.

I can prove I am not doing a certain thing right now when I can show I am doing something else right now instead.

I can prove I am not a female by physical examination and dna tests.

I can prove I am not a child by physical examination.

I can prove I was not in a certain place and time by surveillance footage, my phone cell tower records and receipts marking me at another place at that time.

I can prove my car isn’t non-functioning or empty, by turning it on and driving it.

I can prove I am not without money by buying something with cash.

I can prove I am not 6 foot 3 inches by a height measurement.

I can prove I am not homeless by showing the deed to my house.

My husband recovered from covid quickly, but is counted in your chart because he had an MI with a pos covid test. I wonder if they counted each positive test he took for work n return to work dr appointment as a pos test without hospitalization. The test stays pos a while. How convenient. Working in lab, I watched the very first people test positive for six weeks. A nice bump to your chart early on is they were tested weekly.
