Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical adviser to President Biden, said on Thursday that “even if it is not supported by data”, if two vaccines want to come together, they can, “although the risk zero is not. ” He added, “My professional judgment is that if my daughter wants to come in here and she’s been vaccinated double, I’m going to have her over the house, and I’ll give her a big hug that I could not do for a year. So “I mean, you have to use common sense.”
Fauci said: ‘What we are saying now, even if it is not supported by data, is supported by common sense that if you have two people who have been vaccinated and they want to get together, whether family members or friends you know are vaccinated , you can start getting as individual people, even though the risk is not zero. ”
These statements come during an exchange with CNN’s Chris Cuomo. Fauci said the vaccines being administered are not the only factor responsible for the decline in cases. “I do not think that is the single factor,” he said. ‘I think it’s a combination of a number of things. We really had a very steep bend upwards. You can not last that long, because the factors you found there may no longer be present, namely the holiday period and things like that. So there is a natural reversal. ‘
“Well, I think what you’re really going to see soon, we’ve had some serious conversations with our colleagues at the CDC, is that what happens when you get two vaccinated people?” Fauci said.
“I have been vaccinated, my wife has been vaccinated, my daughters have been vaccinated,” he continued. ‘Before they were vaccinated, they would have to be quarantined for a while, tested, wear a mask if they wanted to visit you. What we are saying now, although it is not supported by data, it is supported by common sense that if you have two people who have been vaccinated and they want to get together, whether they are family members or friends you know, you can be vaccinated if individual people start getting, although the risk is not zero. If you have both parties vaccinated, the risk becomes very low. So we’re going to see people say, ‘Hey, the more people are vaccinated, the more I can have dinner with my family member.’ ‘
Cuomo said: ‘I get it on a personal basis. I get it per household [basis]. But when do you think we’ll start seeing ‘hey, if you’ve been vaccinated, can you go to this restaurant?’ There are no capacity restrictions for vaccinations or travel or work. ”
Fauci replies, “I think you’re going to see a gradual increase in where you can start doing normally.”
“There is a benefit both personally and socially and from the point of view of public health that people are being vaccinated,” he continued. ‘We understand that when people were vaccinated’ said, wait a minute, we’m not really sure about things ‘and that people naturally complained and said,’ Well, wait a minute, why am I going be vaccinated? Why can’t I do things I really want to do personally? ”
Fauci concluded: ‘And you’re going to start seeing, I know I’m going to tell you myself, my professional expert. My professional judgment is that if my daughter wants to come in here and she’s been vaccinated twice, she’s going to have her all over the house, and I’m going to give her a big hug that I could not do for a year. So, I mean, you need to use common sense. ‘
