One of the world’s leading experts on infectious diseases, Fauci has served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984. Since January 2020, he has been one of the lead members of the Trump administration’s White House Coronavirus Task Force addressing the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
From Market Watch:
“Whether a vaccine is effective — or not — will also depend on what role the public plays.
“That’s according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and an expert in infectious diseases for the last four decades, who was speaking to the Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council in a remote interview.
“One of the things you need to understand, it’s the combination of how effective a vaccine is and how many people use it,” he said.
“This is all the more important if the vaccine developed for COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, is moderately rather than highly effective. ‘If the vaccine is moderately effective, enough that you definitely want to use it, then you’re going to have to get a lot more people to get vaccinated to get that veil of protection in the community,’ Fauci said during the Thursday event.”
