While the new omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus has not yet been detected in the United States, it will 'inevitably' arrive, Dr. Anthony Fauci told ABC News.

"So, you've got to take that into the equation when you're trying to figure out where this virus is really going and what its impact is going to be," Fauci said.

He said U.S. scientists spoke to their counterparts in South Africa on Friday and plan to meet with them again later Sunday"to try and find out if the cases they have identified that clearly are caused by this variant, what is the level of severity in that."Stephanopoulos also pressed Fauci on how susceptible vaccinated people are to the new variant, asking what is known about how resistant omicron is to the currently available vaccines.

"The way you find that out is you get the virus and you put it either as a whole virus or as what we call a pseudovirus, and you take antibodies or serum from people who have been vaccinated, and you determine if those antibodies can neutralize the virus," Fauci said.

When Stephanopoulos broached the possibility of returning to the lockdowns due to the new variant, Fauci said it's"really too early to say."

Spoiler alert . . . there will be another one after this one!!! Oh . . . the person that caught it in Africa and went to the UK had had 3 shots! 😂😂😂

We need 10,000,000,000 more shots now ?

We have no doubt the American government will deliver it to us here.

Almost like he wants it to.

Yeah with the next load of immigrants they are letting pass through again .

No crap.

The virus won't quit until the sick are isolated from the healthy.

no how many variants you make people wont get vaccinated.

That's the same thing they said about Delta and then randomly one day they said 80% of our cases were Delta. I suspect the same will happen here, more fraud. This time also a vaccine injury cover up.

How does he know , makes you wonder doesn’t it?

Democrats present themselves as “new Victorians,” standing for “responsibilities over rights, safety over freedom, constraint rather than counterculture.”

Could not care less…

Good news. The virus seems to have become more transmissible and less pathogenic. This could be the last important variant before the pandemic is over. It’s about time! 👇🏼

I assume it going to morph in the blob and consume us all next, IDC, 2022 vacations are still on

Omicron variant is possibly already in the US, Dr. Anthony Fauci saysThe US, European Union and other major destinations have moved to block flights from African countries following the discovery of an aggressive mutation of the Covid-19 virus. Follow for the latest news updates. A Trump fan probably has Omicron already 😂😂😂😂 really? Science moves TOO slow. The mutations are faster than the science. Sometimes common sense and intuition has to dictate. Are we supposed to wait the months scientists need to do their lab tests and confirm their hypotheses? Starting to get a little annoyed by slow science.
