'We were anticipating that there would be challenges, but there are a lot of conflating issues that made this a very, very complicated year,' Fauci reflected on 2021.

If you get "a combination of enough people vaccinated and boosted together with people who are infected and recover and have a degree of immunity — hopefully they'll wind up getting vaccinated too — and you have a virus, a variant, that has a lesser degree of pathogenicity" and it isn't disrupting society, then and only then can it be considered endemic, Fauci said.

"I think virtually everyone thought, when we had a vaccine as effective and safe as the vaccines we have now, that we would get enough people vaccinated that we would ... have a diminution of infection not only in the United States, but ... also essentially get our arms around, as it were, the pandemic globally," he said.

Fauci says FDA could authorize Pfizer's Covid vaccine for kids under 5 in the next monthFauci said younger children will likely need three doses, because two shots did not induce an adequate immune response in children 2- to 4-years-old. Fauci is a 🤡 That is weird, how can he say that? Isn't it decided by FDA by themselves? Why would they? It has clearly been shown that kids are at an infinitesimally low risk of even being hospitalized. It has shown that the vaccine hasn't stopped people from contracting Covid. And the FDA/CDC refuses to publish the real risks of the vaccines & side effects.
