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.'
Fauci's comments put a damper on America's hopes that forthcoming vaccines will bring the pandemic to its knees, highlighting the ongoing importance of other infection prevention methods like masks and social distancing.

What the hell...how stupid is that...
If it only treats symptoms then its NOT A VACCINE YOU STUPID IDIOT.
We call that a therapeutic... you know... like HCQ.
Thats why cough syrup is NOT A VACCINE
Thats why Sudafed (the real stuff - not that fake garbage they push today) is NOT A VACCINE
Like I've said right along...Fauci is into creating stats...and we're his lab rats.
Top.
Men.
“...COVID-19 vaccines will be focused on preventing symptoms of the virus,...”
Since some of the symptoms are disability and death, that sounds OK to me.
17 YRS STILL WAITING ON HIS HIV VACCINE.
Technically, he is correct.
The Vaccine is a small dose of Flu that builds your immunity.
The Vaccine will NOT block the virus from entering your body.
The Vaccine MIGHT eliminate the worst sympton, death
Blah blah blah shut up fakey.
So, if this ‘vaccine’ doesn’t prevent the illness, it only mitigates the symptoms, then it sounds like you would still be contagious. That would mean wearing masks and all the protocols until a real ‘vaccine’ is available.
Whatever Fauci says they will do, you just can't gove them the title "vasccine."

I like that and I believe it would work, so I will simply drive around in my Corvette with the top down.
Dr. Doom & Gloom
He claimed the President could suffer a relapse of the virus. He must be very disappointed it hasn’t happened.
OFGS, every other day Dr. Doom has a new downer to talk about - he must be getting an under the table Soros/Gates bonus for each negative proclamation.
I am laughing so hard because he is such a royal pain. He is never happy unless he can keep everyone afraid. Unfortunately, the negative result is that his stupid pronouncements will keep Democrats shaking in their masks and prevent us from returning to normal life.
