Fauci Warns We May Not Get Herd Immunity If Too Many People Refuse Coronavirus Vaccine

Fact checked

"We have a lot of work to do” to educate people on the truth about vaccines....and “It’s not going to be easy”

Dr Fauci

Dr Anthony Fauci said that while he’s “cautiously optimistic” that a coronavirus vaccine will be available by the start of 2021, he thinks it unlikely the U.S. would reach herd immunity if too many people refuse to take it.

The top infectious disease expert told CNN he would settle for a vaccine that was 70 percent to 75 percent effective but warned it was “unlikely” that the U.S. would be able to quell the outbreak if 30 percent of the population refused to be vaccinated.

Fauci’s concerns echo those of Bill Gates who also warned last week that the “final hurdle” for a new Coronavirus vaccine will be ensuring that the public actually takes it.

NY Post reports: Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, noted that the incomplete protection and the fact that many people say they will skip the vaccine makes it “unlikely” that the nation will achieve sufficient immunity to stem the outbreak.

A recent CNN poll found one-third of Americans said they would not try to get a vaccine — even if it is widely available and low cost.

Herd immunity is achieved when a sufficient percentage of a population is immune to an infectious disease, either through prior illness or vaccination.

In the next three months, three vaccines are expected to be studied in major clinical trials — but “there is a general anti-science, anti-authority, anti-vaccine feeling among some people in this country — an alarmingly large percentage of people, relatively speaking,” Fauci said.

Given the influence of anti-vaxxers, he added, “We have a lot of work to do” to educate people on the truth about vaccines.

“It’s not going to be easy,” said Fauci, a member of the White House task force on the pandemic.

“Anyone [who] thinks it will be easy is not facing reality. It’s going to be very difficult.”

He said the government has a vaccine education program to spread the message.

“We have a program right now that’s going to be extensive in reaching out to the community,” he said.

“They may not like a government person in a suit like me telling them, even though I will tell them. They really need to see people that they can relate to in the community — sports figures, community heroes, people that they look up to.”

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which runs multiple federal health education programs, referred CNN to the US Department of Health and Human Services, which runs the White House effort to develop a vaccine.

HHS spokesman Michael Caputo did not confirm the existence of a vaccine education campaign, adding in an email that “I’d hate to see CNN put out [a] wildly incorrect story.”

  1. Pigs ar*e.They want the trillions of dollars the vaccines will cost taxpayers .You can bet that little crew are all shareholders. And they can sell that vaccine over and over as every new child gets born anywhere on earth for decades

  2. Q talked about this B.S. Second Wave a few months ago -all of this so Soros can push Cheat By Mail, it’s the ONLY way Dems can win anything going forward.

  3. Quit targeting people with 5G micro wave radiation which activates the virus. Take the towers down. Corona virus is fake and man
    made. “any death or disease pattern can be induced”. “specifically
    tailored attacks on the body can be created”. made by emf scalar eaves
    targeted at individual.. “In addition, evidence exists that such
    transmitters, utilized in the scalar transmission mode, may have been
    used to cause earthquakes and to control the weather”. The Tom Bearden

  4. This is the same fraud that claimed during the aids epidemic that there would be a vaccine within two years. As of today, still no aids vaccine. Stick your vaccine where the sun don’t shine.

    • My husband worked in the field and knows about Fauci, see my comment above, he’s guilty of alot of crimes.

  5. “Herd immunity is achieved when a sufficient percentage of a population
    is immune to an infectious disease, either through prior illness or
    vaccination.”
    WRONG, DEAD WRONG! You can’t achieve herd immunity with a vax, you only get it thru people strengthening their immune system thru exposure – otherwise you don’t have natural immunity and everyone still needs a vaccine. With herd immunity, most folks develop immunity to the disease; those who don’t can get vaxxed. Right now, we are testing everyone we can in America and most are showing they have antibodies to this virus, meaning they have herd immunity. They have been exposed and are now immune to it or they have it; but alot fewer people are now getting infected. We’ve probably reached herd immunity a month ago or so as infection rates are falling alot.

    Dr. Fauci knows nothing about vaccines, he is an idiot a moron and probably guilty of crimes against humanity. He kept back testing of people when AIDS first came out, just so his friend could finish copying from someone’s research paper and take credit for it. Because of that, probably thousands of people died of AIDS who didn’t need to. He is a crook, plain and simple and that’s only the start.
