Dr.Fauci Confirms a Crucial Fact Everyone Needs To Know About The Corona virus
Despite the widespread of COVID-19 vaccinations in the U.S., there are still pressing questions about whether or not someone who receives the vaccine can still spread the virus to others.
Recall, some experts mentioned you can still test positive for the novel COVID-19, even after receiving the vaccine.

However, the simple answer to the question about a vaccinated patient transmitting the virus to another is that it’s too early to tell.
Speaking on this issue, in a recent appearance on Today, Dr. Anthony Fauci explained that more time is needed to conduct studies and to observe transmission rates over the next few weeks and months.
“One of the things that we don’t have enough information about,and we have to be humble and modest enough to recognize and admit is that we do not know the duration of the durability of protection from yourself to get reinfected as well as spreading to others.
“We’ve gotta be able to, and we are, doing studies to answer those kinds of questions,” Fauci said.
Excerpts from a CDC statement on this topic reads;
We also don’t yet know whether getting a COVID-19 vaccine will prevent you from spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 to other people, even if you don’t get sick yourself.
Given this, a COVID-19 vaccine is not a license to stop wearing a mask and ignore social distancing rules, which means, it’s necessary for people who have been vaccinated to adhere to the strict coronavirus protocols and safety rules.
In respect to the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, Dr. Fauci remains optimistic that the U.S. can start vaccinating 1 million Americans once the president-elect, Biden assumes office which is sooner than later.
Fauci said;
“You know I really do think so. I mean, we’ve discussed this with the Biden team and we think it’s quite feasible that we can do that. Right now, even now, we’ve gone from half a million a day to 750,000 a day.”
“I believe strongly that it’s doable and if we do it, stay on target to get the overwhelming majority of the country vaccinated.
“We’ll likely get to that umbrella of herd immunity that you’ll start to see a serious turnaround of infections.” He added
Speaking on how long it will take to reach herd immunity, Faucihad earlier said that herd immunity may not be reached until late September or October. He stated it will likely take several months before life returns to normalcy.
In regards to what Biden can do to accelerate the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, Fauci said;
“There a lot of things that can be done. I think one of the things that President-elect Biden said is that there will be a greater degree of coordination, interaction, and support on the part of the federal government interacting with the states.
You don’t want the federal government to take all the responsibility of doing this. You don’t want the states to be left on their own. You need to have a good degree of interaction, and I think that’s what we’re going to see more of, where states will have help in regards to resources, but also more of a general coordinated plan about how to do this.”
One fact that should help the spread of Covid -19 vaccine is access to additional vaccines.
Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine may be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a few weeks.
