On the one-year anniversary of the last exclusion before Covid Late show, The dr. Anthony Fauci visited with Stephen Colbert on Friday to discuss America’s path back to ‘normal’. During the interview, host Fauci asked to choose his favorite between the vaccines Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.
“I would choose the one that was most readily available to me,” Fauci said.
“All three are very effective. They have different properties: cold storage, one dose versus two doses, but when I walk into a clinic and I want to get vaccinated and someone says, ‘You can get this vaccine now, or wait a few weeks for the next one’. the most important thing is to be vaccinated as soon as possible to protect yourself, your family and the community. ”
The immunologist added: ‘So I have no favorite. I happened to be taking Moderna because in the clinic at the NIH [National Institutes of Health] where I am, it was the one they sent to us, but if they had sent another, I would have easily taken it. ‘
Colbert then jokes and mocks the conspiracy theorists: “Do you know which one Bill Gates’ brain-controlled microchip produces the best?”
Fauci replies with a smile, ‘Well, there’s a couple. One microchip of mine, one microchip of Bill. ”
While Fauci is not sure if America will ever eradicate Covid-19, he ‘guaranteed’ and was ‘absolutely certain’ that things would eventually return to normal in America, thanks in part to the Biden’s scientific approach to the coronavirus. . .
“In every aspect of the effort, before – in the past, during the previous government – a lot of discretion, a lot of decision-making, a lot of authority was left to the states themselves,” Fauci said.
‘What we have more now is a collaboration, cooperation and what I would call a synergy between the federal government and the states to get things done … I have always felt over the past year that there should be interaction in the sense of synergy. to say, ‘Here’s what you do, and go do it. If you succeed well, then this is your problem, if this is not the best way to do it. ”
Colbert also asked Fauci some practical questions, such as whether people who have been vaccinated can still spread the virus and whether they should wear masks and whether they can go to the club. “No, you should not hit the clubs until we get the virus level so low that there is no threat to the clubs,” Fauci said.
