Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the nation's leading experts on infectious diseases, warned Sunday that it's 'unlikely' the U.S. will achieve herd immunity to the coronavirus if a portion of the population refuses to get a coronavirus vaccine.

June 29, 2020 / 2:52 PMDr. Anthony Fauci, one of the nation's leading experts on infectious diseases, warned Sunday that it's"unlikely" the U.S. will achieve herd immunity to the coronavirus if a portion of the population refuses to get a coronavirus vaccine.

But when asked by CNN senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen whether the U.S. can get to herd immunity if 25% of the population refuses to get a coronavirus vaccine with that rate of effectiveness, Fauci said,"No, unlikely.

Fauci, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, said the federal government has"a lot of work to do" in encouraging Americans to get inoculated once there is a coronavirus vaccine available to the public. "There is a general anti-science, anti-authority, anti-vaccine feeling among some people in this country, an alarmingly large percentage of people relatively speaking," he said.

Fauci says Covid-19 vaccine may not get US to herd immunity if too many people refuse to get itDr. Anthony Fauci says he would 'settle' for a Covid-19 vaccine that's 70% to 75% effective, but that this incomplete protection, coupled with the fact that many Americans say they won't get a coronavirus vaccine, makes it 'unlikely' that the US will achieve sufficient levels of immunity to quell the outbreak.
