It will be available for use once there's a hopefully positive vote from CDC. So, it could be as early as November fourth or fifth, that you can go into some locations and get your child vaccinated.

You never want to get ahead of the FDA in their regulatory decisions, nor do you want to get ahead of the CDC and their advisers on what the recommended would be, but if you look at the data that's been made public and announced by the company, the data looked good as to the efficacy and the safety.

Anthony Fauci

The mix and match really gives a good deal of flexibility to people in whatever it is that they want to choose, and the CDC, I am sure, will come out with some pretty clear recommendations depending upon what category you fit into.

In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic? Many ask reasonable questions: given the possibility of such a scenario – however remote – should the initial experiments have been performed and/or published in the first place, and what were the processes involved in this decision?, scientists working in this field might say – as indeed I have said – that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks.

Anthony Fauci

Much of the world, and in some respects including ourselves, are still in the pandemic phase.

Anthony Fauci

It is going to be very difficult, at least in the foreseeable future and maybe ever, to truly eliminate this highly transmissible virus.

Anthony Fauci

We can get to control without a doubt, it is within our power and within our capability.

Anthony Fauci

We've obviously been trying very hard, we try to get trusted messengers out there and try and get this away from being an ideological or political statement, get back into the realm of pure public health, and try to convince people.

Anthony Fauci

But we know that Read MoreEmployer vaccine mandates work.

Anthony Fauci

It is very important that this now must go through the usual process of careful examination of the data by the Food and Drug Administration both for effectiveness, but also for safety, because whenever you introduce a new compound, safety is very important.

Anthony Fauci

We have to just be careful that we don't prematurely declare victory in many respects. We still have around 68 million people who are eligible to be vaccinated that have not yet gotten vaccinated.

Anthony Fauci

There will be temptations, for example, for people who recently got vaccinated to not wait for the six month period of time.

We really don’t know what the real number is. I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent. But, I’m not going to say 90 percent.

Anthony Fauci

We have to concentrate on continuing to get those numbers down and not try to jump ahead by weeks or months and say what we’re going to do at a particular time.

Anthony Fauci

It is just too soon to tell, we have to concentrate on continuing to get those numbers down and not try to jump ahead by weeks or months and say what we’re going to do at a particular time.

Anthony Fauci

Prevention is always better than treatment, it’s great that we’ve got treatments now but prevention is always going to be the priority, especially with safe and effective vaccines like we have in this country.

Anthony Fauci

So the idea that people right now are not listening to what I'm saying, what I'm saying is the truth, i actually agree.

Senator, with all due respect, I disagree with so many of the thingsthat you've said.

This connection may just be too much to bear.
