Coincidentally, Fauci's comments on the need for a broader COVID-19 vaccine were immediately met with the news that an"It should be in the clinic in the coming weeks," Moderna CEOsaid while speaking on the same discussion panel."And we're hoping in the March time frame we should be able to have data to share with regulators to figure out the next step forward," he said.
Even as we move past the pandemic, experts on the panel predicted that it would be nearly impossible to remove the virus from public circulation altogether. In some cases, this could cause issues down the line. "Omicron has moved very, very rapidly, behaving exactly like an acute pandemic, and the virus is going to retain that capability in the future, and that's something I think should be quite concerning to all of us,", the CEO of Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness and Innovations, said during the panel.
But despite the virus's potential threats, Fauci said he hoped the coming years could be better thanks to the shared experiences of the pandemic."It is very difficult to predict what the new normal would be like," he admitted."I do not think the people would be walking around with masks on forever, but one new normal I would hope for is greater solidarity with each other. I also hope the new normal would include a strong memory about what a pandemic can do to us.
