5 Things Dr. Fauci Is Doing Now That He Got the COVID-19 Vaccine
He doesn’t think COVID-19 will just disappear
Overall, Dr. Anthony Fauci is very optimistic when it comes to vaccination and our country’s future in terms of healthcare.
However, there’s one thing we must keep in mind: even if we’ll be able to get herd immunity this fall and some restrictions may be lifted, the SARS-CoV-2 virus will not just disappear. In fact, Dr. Fauci recently pointed out that simply vaccinating people isn’t enough to eradicate the disease.
The thought of a deadly virus not going away anytime soon is scary, especially for those with high risk factors such as age or underlying illnesses. Dr. Fauci insists that we keep on fighting and take all precaution measures because together we can get through this.
As for the vaccination process and a potential optimistic feature, here’s what he advises:
‘To me, that is more of an incentive of, ‘Please don’t give up. Don’t despair, the end is in sight,’ as opposed to: ‘Hey, we are good to go, don’t worry about anything.’ We are not good to go. We have got to continue to double down on public health measures.’
