Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, listens as President Joe Biden speaks Feb. 25 at the White House. | Evan Vucci/AP PhotoAnthony Fauci on Sunday said President Joe Biden's prediction that coronavirus vaccines can lead to relative normalcy by July Fourth is "quite reasonable" — as long as states don't prematurely pull back public safety measures.
"If you wait just a bit longer to give the vaccine program the chance to increase the protection in the community, then it makes pulling back much less risky," said Fauci, the nation's leading infectious diseases expert, on "Fox News Sunday." "But if you do it prematurely there really is a danger of triggering another surge.
"If the surge back up comes, that would endanger the goal of getting people much more toward normal in the beginning of the summer," Fauci said on "Fox News Sunday." "It's not going to influence the vaccination program or the vaccination rate, but it could influence how soon we get back to normal."and moved to fully reopen businesses, a move Fauci called "risky and potentially dangerous.
Only if everyone puts on their big boy pants and does what is needed
Great news and we don't have to share it with that smirking bastrump.
This Fauci seems to be a slick to keep the highest salary in America .. It would be almost impossible to meet Biden’s July 4th deadline ..
Well then I guess it’s not happening since the mitigation is no longer being required and people are having mask burning parties......
0scar1709 He's talking to you, TX, Florida ....
Sooooooo that means we're perpetually fucked then, I suppose? DestinationFucked
Yeah... look at Texas
Too late, Texas already did.
Unfortunately some states are which shouldn’t be
Any of y’all been outside lately. America is open. Might as well join the rest of the country.
Dr Fauci needs to follow the data...
Of course Fauci is going to warn against lifting restrictions “too soon”! If states did then they would lose control of the American people.
Fauci needs to fuck off
Fauci is a narcissistic power hungry height challenged dictator!!! The man should be taken out of his position. The Flip-Flops so often I really think he manufactures Flip Flops
DrMcKinn Unfortunately, that’s the rub. If!
Wrong
Hey, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, Idaho, etc. Please protect the rest of us by mandatory masking! It works.
I’m sick of the Doctors back and forth.
Daily new confirmed COVID19 deaths per million people *Shown is the rolling 7-day average. Limited testing and challenges in the attribution of the cause of death means that the number of confirmed deaths may not be an accurate count of the true number of deaths from COVID-19.
And the GQP will encourage people to ignore the safety measures just to sabotage Biden’s plan. Doesn’t matter to them that it will endanger their own constituents. Damaging Biden matters most.

July 4th, return to normalcy? I love it.
....Cuz FL was way too successful easing restrictions 6 months ago.

Attention Citizens! Paging DrFauci !
😜States are already doing that!
Don’t forget the hundreds of potentially COVID-19 positive migrants flooding the Southern border. They could impact our mask 😷 free BBQ 🍗.
States already have and more and more will be doing it soon. Americans are tired of the gloom and doom, vaccines are here, millions are receiving them daily, people are ready to get back to normal
So were screwed by the Red States again
