Fauci: ‘There’s Always a Theoretical Risk’ in People Getting the Booster Shot
‘You want to have some scientific proof, and that’s the reason why, right now, we recommend that people go by the guidelines according to the FDA approval and the CDC recommendations’
EXCERPT:
TAPPER: "But there's not a risk involved? There's not necessarily anything that — bad that will happen to them, or is there?"
FAUCI: "You know, there's always a theoretical risk because the studies have not been done to look at the safety and the immunogenicity of doing that right now for everyone. But, I mean, people who get J&J will be coming in asking to get Pfizer and Moderna, et cetera. Theoretically, if you look at things, it is very unlikely that there's going to be a risk there. But, scientifically, you don't want to go by unlikely. You want to have some scientific proof. And that's the reason why, right now, we recommend that people go by the guidelines according to the FDA approval and the CDC recommendations."
