Faucie: Coronavirus cannot be eliminated

During an interview for Fabio Fazio in Che tempo che faé, Fauci added that “we can control him”.

I don't think Coddy can be eliminated. We can control it. We will have to continue strengthening vaccines every year or every year and a half. But we can stop this pandemic, we can reduce infections so that it is no longer a public concern”.

Fauci recalled that only one pathogen agent so far has been eradicated, the oak one.

“Vaxina Covid that will be taken into the pills is not yet a reality, but we are working on it together with Pfizer. In the United States, we're vaccinating teenagers aged 12 and up with Pfizer, and I believe that the green light for vaccines from this age will be given very quickly in Italy and elsewhere, because the data we have is very safe”, he said.

He added further:

We still haven't defeated the coronavirus. But unlike last year, we now have vaccines. If the majority of the population is vaccinated, we will be able to reduce security measures”.

Asked whether there would be new closures due to the pandemic, the American Immunologist said:

There is always this possibility if we don't do the things we have to do. After vaccinating most of the population, we must take careful steps”.
