Fauci: Based on the Data Available Now, a Booster Isn’t Recommended

RUSH EXCERPT:

FAUCI: “No — well, let me state something pretty clearly, and I think it’s a clear message, Chris. First of all, the vaccine is extraordinarily effective in real world effectiveness. 99.5% of all the people who died from Covid were unvaccinated. Only 0.5% of the people who were vaccinated died from Covid. The vaccinations and the vaccine work spectacularly well. What we’re talking about is not necessarily how good they are, because they are unquestionably terrific. It’s the durability of the response that’s in question, which is a perfectly reasonable thing when you’re dealing with a vaccine. You don’t know how long that extraordinarily high degree of protection is going to last, and that’s what we’re talking about. Idea to say, if you might ultimately need a booster that the vaccine isn’t any good is like apples and Oranges. It doesn’t have one thing to do with the other. It’s an excellent vaccine that may need a boost for the durability of the response.”
