Fauci says it’s ‘conceivable’ we’ll know if a safe and effective vaccine is coming by November

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and an expert in infectious diseases for the last four decades, said this weekend: “The way the pace of the enrollment is going on and the level of the infections that are going on in the United States, it is likely that we’ll get an answer by the end of the year.”

But Fauci cautioned against rushing a vaccine for political purposes without first knowing it was safe. At the mostly online Republican National Convention, President Donald Trump said, “We are delivering lifesaving therapies, and will produce a vaccine before the end of the year, or maybe even sooner. We will defeat the virus, end the pandemic, and emerge stronger than ever before.”

AstraZeneca AZN, -0.74%, in combination with Oxford University; BioNTech SE BNTX, -2.42% and partner Pfizer PFE, +0.13% ; GlaxoSmithKline GSK, -0.37% Johnson & Johnson JNJ, +0.43% ; Merck & Co. MERK, ; Moderna MRNA, -0.79% ; and Sanofi SAN, +4.03% are among those currently working toward COVID-19 vaccines.

“There are two elements that need to be clarified,” Fauci told the podcast’s hosts J.J. Green and Chris Core. “One: The likelihood that African Americans will get infected versus whites or others and, when and if they do get infected, the likelihood of their getting a serious outcome more so than whites. The answer is unfortunately, ‘Yes,’ to both.”

We don’t give a fuck what he says anymore

Who? Haven’t doctors, scientists, big data and statisticians been working out whether, OR NOT, natural antibodies are protective against re-infection? Isn’t this the first step?

Fauci said so it must be true! 🤣

“Conceivable” and “likely” are two very different words. Check a dictionary if you don’t believe me. Oh, wait, everything’s virtual now and dictionaries have all but vanished.

The markets have priced in a vaccine next month.
