Fauci: Vaccine might not get US sufficient level of immunity

Dr. Anthony Fauci says he would "settle" for a Covid-19 vaccine that's 70% to 75% effective, but that this incomplete protection, coupled with the fact that many Americans say they won't get a coronavirus vaccine, makes it "unlikely" that the US will achieve sufficient levels of immunity to quell the outbreak.

    1. I agree!!! Some how I feel this is biological warfare and protecting this failed leadership is the top priority

    2. 6 months 0 pregnant mom covid deaths internationally
      6 months 0 aboriginal covid deaths
      0 virus

    1. @Troy DiEdwardo _’The apparent mortality rate is about %.03..’_ The only way you get a rate that low is if you do something truly idiotic like divide the death rate by the entire US population. That’s not how mortality rates work. If you do the same thing with influenza *COVID-19 still has around 4 times the mortality rate* , in *four months* versus a year for influenza. Come on, man…THINK.
      _’Check out Thomas Sowell, Jordan Peterson and David Icke…’_ Sowell is the only one on the list with a hint of credibility and he’s a conservative hack.
      Peterson and Icke are proof that you don’t seem to do much by the way of critical thinking. FFS, Icke thinks we’ve been invaded by shape-shifting lizard people from outer space.

    2. @Time to get huge! Trump will only accept a Vaccine from his beloved Russia, so it’s safe for white men. 🙄

    3. @Cuomo Primetime it’s a little less comfortable yes, but your breathing isn’t hindered… Also, if you’re social distant outdoors, a mask isn’t really necessary as the virus hasn’t been proven to significantly spread in those conditions.

  1. We, 🇺🇸 lack, Discipline, Willpower, and Common sense….something we keep losing generation after generation.

    1. @Felix Carpio The only Salvation we have is, it wasn’t the popular vote. But the majority of 🇺🇸 has to put up with this nonsense.

    1. Did you know that after all this time there is still no vaccine for any coronavirus. not sars not mers but somehow they’ll find one for covid and they are “real close”

    2. @No Name SARS and MERS died out of the population until white supremacists revived it, tweaked and spread it in the US and then China.

    3. @Suzy Q Without a mask: 50/50 chance of getting it.
      With a mask: 50/50 chance of getting it.
      Vaccine: Up to 25% chance of getting it.

    1. @Sonique Cat Good theory, but unlikely. Viruses are fundamentally selfish organisms (they’re not alive i know), which reproduce to sustain their own biological needs.

    2. @Mr. Greatness Well – we should get rid of the Nazis in the White House and at Fox News. Getting rid of the Nazis like you is also a good idea.
      Labeling a right wing media like CNN as communist is beyond laughable.

  2. It seems so strange – I live in South Australia , where covid 19 has been virtually eliminated. The populace were compliant with all the guidelines. Businesses are reopening, including bars, sporting events and schools. An opportunity has been lost in the US and it is difficult seeing a way of putting the “ genie back in the bottle”.

    1. Dawn Bowers omg really? They compare the US to the EU. Now that is very much comparable, the EU was hit much harder earlier, and now they have their cases down, even after reopening… You have got to be a very very slow thinker.

    2. @345k subscribers Virus5g Take your fearmongering and post your comment on a Faux News video! This has nothing to do with Seattle!!

    3. @American Patriot Greetings from Germany. I have a different opinion – not only ‘you’ (the Americans?) but everyone doesn´t know enough about the virus. In my opinion in times of such a pandemic there shouldn´t be an ‘us’ and ‘they’. But in the meantime the scientists know how it is transferred, namely through the air as an aerosol. Also in my opinion it isn’t a weapon but a diesease like the plague, the flu, lepra and so on. Maybe it could be used as a biological weapon like anthrax but there are a lot of other possible ways to kill each other. Back to the pandemic, the biggest problem is that currently there isn´t a vaccine or a medication. The symptoms can be alleviated as good as possible but that’s all.
      Conceded if you weren´t in NYC (or Italy, Spain, Brazil…) and haven’t seen the refrigerated vans with dead people by yourself of course you don’t know if it´s true. But there are families who lost their relatives. Also the question is why should anybody have the goal to tell you or better us(worldwide) the untruth. It needs to be a global conspiracy of heads of states (who partly hate each other, e.g. US, Iran, Russia…), press agencies (who partly dislike their competitors, e.g. FOX & the others), scientists, doctors and nurses, normal people and so on and so forth. Impossible.
      Also who should have any profit of this farce? Neither your government nor their opponents (the Democrats), neither a certain country e.g. Russia, China, Iran nor the US or other countries. In the UN they all together are incapable to agree on the simplest decisions but they agree on ‘a pandemic, numbers and death toll’? Impossible.
      In the same way an agreement between all press agencies from right to left, in every country, worldwide? Impossible.
      I think, the opposite is the case, some leaders of different countries would like to trivialize the reports of the media because bad news are bad for their reelection. But luckily there is a free press (no matter which one you like – CNN, FOX, abc or anything else) and I´m absolutely not sure if e.g. the people in Turkey or similar countries get halfway decent information since most of their press has been forced into line.

  3. We Americans are playing; “Whack A Mole” you hit one mole (cova-19 outbreak) then another one pops up (Florida, Texas, California) and on it goes.

  4. The funniest thing is that trump said everyone wants to go back to work. However, most infections have been because of rise in bar, beach, pool and restaurant visits. So much for Americans wanting to return to work.

    1. Cases aren’t as important as serious harm or deaths – solely due to this novel, lab-built vaccine

    2. That’s not true. There is far more testing being done since people were able to go for routine doctors visits. There also far less deaths. Texas was said to have a surge but had just 27 deaths. The virus is far less deadly than they say.

    3. Mars Boyo: That’s why it’s rising again, fast..opening up, too quick. We’re paying for it. It hasn’t even started to get worse yet.

    4. Tulsa’s spike is already back down. https://www.tulsa-health.org/COVID19 Not a non issue…just stay clean, wear mask where it makes sense ( mainly around elderly ) and don’t be right in people’s faces or hugging all over people you don’t know…. You can fix most of your risk of getting COVID by not being dumb. Btw The regular flu can be asymptomatic too.

  5. There will be no economy if the government ignores the coronovirus– just increased deaths and lots of mental illness.Trump is ignoring the virus.America is not great,it’s a mess.

    1. How can u want yo build the economy with all these sick unemployed ppl. They need to have a vaccine for his stupidity.

    2. @RanGam 74 Wrong. Statistics proove that the protests almost had no effect on the virus spread. Some of the largest protests took place in areas like New York where the infection numbers are falling.
      However – the spikes happen in places where the economy is reopening too quickly and especially in areas where people think it is ok to cramp together in huge crowds with literally no protection on beaches and in bars.
      On top of that businesses do not care for their employees, providing absolutely no protection.
      Besides – every mask helps to reduce the spread of the virus, but maybe that’s beyond the capabilities of understanding facts of racists and white supremicists like you who support killer cops.

    3. Ann P: That’s what I tried to tell my friends voting for Trump in ’16. We were in for trouble if he got in office. Now see what’s happened.

    1. RanGam 74 if protests caused a spike in cases then we would see a spike in every major city in the nation. And that has not happened. The evidence shows that outdoor protests have had little effect on the COVID caseload

    2. @andrew winkenwerder Hasn’t happened *yet, and regardless of that, we’ll never know now anyway: contact tracers were deliberately instructed not to ask people if they attended George Floyd protests. If you don’t happen to believe me, I would advise you to look it up and see for yourself.

    3. stop letting the “leaders” do the thinking for you and start thinking for yourself…it isn’t illegal…yet.

  6. Thank you Dr Fauci for not quitting you job.🙏
    At least with you we know the facts .
    Not like some clowns who want to take us for a ride.

    1. This guy is “throwing darts at this virus”.

      He doesn’t know anymore than “the man in the moon😂💩”!!!

  7. 0:06 Spot on. Sad that hospitals will get overrun before anyone has the _cojones_ to put in place moratorium on activities that violate guidelines and protocols to curb the spread of the virus…

    1. PG1 US HISTORY BOOKS? BOSTON MA?
      DJT said “The media is the enemy of free people” 2/24/17. 3/5/2020 it was 250 yrs NEWS4 free people. Not a word was heard about regular people & BOSTON MEDIA.
      SOME SOLDIERS WERE INNOCENT. (John Adams, lawyer). In a court of law.
      Paul Revere scribed some metal about it. I guess not a massacre after all.
      Just FakeNewZ. PG 1 AMERICAN REVOLUTION. They were MURDERERS EVERYWHERE.
      Media. Enemy of kings.

    1. @Uoeno Ho uh no at its worst it will only simply be inneffective. do you even understand what vaccines are or the process of making them?

    2. And Who the hell knows what the Gates crowd will put in that frigging vacine?Maybe nano virys to Kill us off Georgia stone wants world population at 500 million.
      But dont think RF andPRC will fall foe it.Just sheeple Amerikanski

    3. @john leber The GATES CROWD…🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You’re psychotic and paranoid, and you don’t even know it. sad.

    4. @Kaliani K Healthcare workers get the first round (because they’re dropping like flies. Masks are faulty at best.) The rest follows or perhaps all of the above at once.

  8. It’s not the vaccine that’s the problem. It’s the idiocy of the Trump voting population. 🙂

    1. Says the dumb liberal who thinks democrats care or make change. Which they haven’t. The last 20 years of democrat presidency have been a domestic policy failure. The last 20 years of republican presidency have not been a failure and actually helped minorities.

  9. The moment the government realized most of the fatalities would be elderly and people of color(many with health issues)..the decision was silently made to go with the herd immunity strategy.

    1. @Andy but many who r healthy nd has no past medical history died due to corona virus in my country . And they r quite young also

    1. @Waypoint “Ever had polio? Ever met anyone under 50 who has? No? Then the vaccine was good enough when enough people actually fucking took it.”
      If corporations have their way, it will cost literally everything you own.
