That’s what he says today. Tomorrow he’ll say the coronavirus vaccine will be 99.9% effective. Then the day after that he’ll say the vaccine will only work if you’re wearing a mask when you get it.

White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Friday that the chances of scientists creating a highly effective vaccine — one that provides 98% or more guaranteed protection — for the virus are slim.
Scientists are hoping for a coronavirus vaccine that is at least 75% effective, but 50% or 60% effective would be acceptable, too, Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during a Q&A with the Brown University School of Public Health. “The chances of it being 98% effective is not great, which means you must never abandon the public health approach.”
“You’ve got to think of the vaccine as a tool to be able to get the pandemic to no longer be a pandemic, but to be something that’s well controlled,” he said.
The Food and Drug Administration has said it would authorize a coronavirus vaccine so long as it is safe and at least 50% effective. Dr. Stephen Hahn, the FDA’s commissioner, said last month that the vaccine or vaccines that end up getting authorized will prove to be more than 50% effective, but it’s possible the U.S. could end up with a vaccine that, on average, reduces a person’s risk of a Covid-19 infection by just 50%.

Go jump in a lake already ahole.
He needs to shut up and go away NOW!
The Swamp Creature said *exactly* what his masters at Rat Party Headquarters wanted him to say.
who cares about 1A? and the constitution? covid19 masks forever!
Will it be better than your AIDS vaccine, Fauxcy?
From Fauci’s perspective, better a $3000 pill that doesn’t work as opposed to one that works and costs a dollar.
Gotta get used to Covid 19 as a flu bro, because it is not going away from us and we still gotta eat bro.
Even with a flu “Vaccine” the flu killed 80k in the US in 2018. 144k is a lot but the death rate is is still falling.
More accurate numbers might change things.
In this case he appears to be speaking the truth.
They were never going to get 98% effectiveness.
Personally I doubt it will be anywhere near 50%.
They’ll throw some near-placebo out there at 30%, pat
themselves on the back till their arms break and schedule the victory parade.
Of course not.
Someone out a muzzle on him.
The Dr., like many others in the Swamp, can get a lot of inside information. They can make big $$$ on put or call option trades of the big vaccine companies, whether the vaccine works or not.
Why are they listening to this Yo-Yo? Because he’s been working in govt for 50yrs? A govt that we know we cannot trust to be straight with us? And then we get it all through a media that we know for sure lies to us on a regular basis.
Why hasn’t everybody just flipped the govt and phony Tony Fauci the bird yet?
quack lies matter
Does anyone care what this twerp has to say?
Sounds like they are moving the goal posts again.
Does anyone care what this twerp has to say?
About what is estimated with the flu shot.
That’s what he says today. Tomorrow he’ll say the coronavirus vaccine will be 99.9% effective. Then the day after that he’ll say the vaccine will only work if you’re wearing a mask when you get it.
Fauci‘s decision-maker:
Somebody needs to launch a major investigation into Fauci’s personal financial stake in vaccine companies. It’s vital.
