Fauci: 'Possible' Americans will be wearing masks in 2022 to protect against Covid-19

Fine. The vaccinated people can take ALL the other measures they want.
They just can't make health decisions for others - especially about getting vaccinated. It ain't their health, their body, or their choice.
Anyone who tries to make my health decisions will be told exactly what they can kiss.

A health decision should be left up to the person unless it affects others health in which this is becoming an issue. Sure there are protective measures that can be taken that have already been spoken that the vaccinated person can do such as wearing a mask and Social Distancing. We also have to look at the larger picture as to this never fully going away until everyone gets on the same page to tackle the problem. Sadly I don't think this will ever happen.

Exactly - it will never go away. There is way too much profit in keeping Covid alive. But that doesn't justify desperately blaming the unvaccinated.

As long as it mutates it will never go away and the unvaccinated can't control a viruses intent to mutate. Neither can the vaccinated!

The more people that get vaccinated against the virus not just within the United States , but World Wide the more we become protected against the virus and it mutating. That is why they are urging all people to get vaccinated. The more people that become vaccinated the less chance of mutation and spread. This has been preached since the beginning of the vaccine.

Vaccinated people are still being infected with Covid. Vaccinated people can spread Covid. Covid mutates that's what a virus does. It mutates in vaccinated people just as it does in unvaccinated people.

So vaccinated or not its possible we all will still need to wear masks in 2022.


Fauci: 'Possible' Americans will be wearing masks in 2022 to protect against Covid-19

Washington(CNN)Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday that it's "possible" Americans will still need to wear masks in 2022 to protect against the coronavirus, even as the US may reach "a significant degree of normality" by the end of this year.

Asked by CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" whether he thinks Americans will still need to wear masks next year, Fauci replied: "You know, I think it is possible that that's the case and, again, it really depends on what you mean by normality."

The comments from Fauci come as the US Covid-19 death toll approaches 500,000 and the country nears a full year in its fight against the virus. And though the US is now steadily rolling out vaccines to fight the pandemic, the nation's top infectious disease expert underscored the importance of mitigation measures to fight the aggressive virus and its emerging variants as many Americans express pandemic fatigue.

predict when the US might return to operating as it did before the pandemic told hold, he thinks that by the end of this year "we're going to have a significant degree of normality beyond the terrible burden that all of us have been through over the last year."

"As we get into the fall and the winter, by the end of the year, I agree with (President Joe Biden) completely that we will be approaching a degree of normality," said Fauci, who serves as Biden's chief medical adviser.

Mask-wearing is critical to slowing the spread of the virus, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which says they can help protect both the people wearing them and those around them from transmitting the virus.

The Biden administration has been pushing mask-wearing more aggressively than the Trump administration did, with the President signing an executive order last month mandating interstate travelers wear a mask and requiring masks on federal property. Biden also challenged Americans to wear masks for the first 100 days of his presidency to reduce the spread of the virus.

Fauci also weighed in Sunday on suggestions by researchers in Israel in Canada that just one dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was needed to protect against the virus, saying "the science points directly towards continuing with what we know about from the clinical trial," which is that two doses provide the most protection against the virus and the emerging variants.

"We know for sure that when you give a prime with the Pfizer followed by a boost 21 days later that you get a 94% to 95% efficacy and the difference between the level of antibodies after one dose versus two doses is about tenfold higher," he said.

"And that is really important because when you have that high a degree comparable to the single dose alone, that's the cushion that you would like to have when you get a variant that isn't as well-protected against by the antibodies induced by the vaccine, but you have enough level to be able to prevent at least severe disease."

Great news, if that's what it takes! I'm glad responsible governance is back in place now.

I am not denying that vaccinated people are still getting Covid. It is also been reported by many sources that vaccinated people are much less of a chance of getting infected and if they do get infected it is a much less severe case of Covid then those who are unvaccinated. It has also been reported from the beginning of when the vaccines started that the more people got covered by getting vaccinated they less chance the spread of this virus would be to spread and mutate. Like I said this is not just a United States effort this is a World Wide effort to get this done. A much more bigger task then just thinking of the United States or the UK or Canada.

Yes, it has been preached.
Preaching doesn't make it true.

When they touted the benefits of flu shots, & thinking people asked, "Why do so many people get the flu after they've had a flu shot," they said the same thing - "Uh....well.....the flu shot may not work, but you won't get as sick."
Just BS to sell something useless.

Every year when they come out with the Flu Shot they state that they do not know if the strain of the flu with be covered by the flu shot. The Covid Vaccine has not been the same until this new variant has come out and that has led the vaccine companies to start doing immediate research on the vaccine and this new variant.

Not common sense, nor common humanity.

And do you remember all the problems that occurred then? Transportation of vaccine at those extreme temps, not enough vaccine in some areas to give to those waiting and waiting and waiting to get vaccinated, I remember all the trouble members had here in getting an appointment to be vaccinated.

Some countries not even having a vaccine for months, and still flying all over the world? Its out of control and mutating and being vaccinated isn't stopping the spread.

And what about in the beginning remember how the elderly were to be protected and vaccinated first? And guess who fully vaccinated started dying? The elderly. And to cover up that happening, the CDC said it was to be expected! Really? They expected it?

They were old, they had a number of health problems. Yeah and that's exactly why they said they had to be vaccinated because they were older and had health problems.


Its out of control and the unvaccinated are being blamed.

I certainly have no issue with wearing a mask until hell freezes over at this point. I have considered continued masking even after they lift the requirement provided they are able.

For a while after I got Covid and then got vaccinated I ceased wearing a mask, except where mandated(medical,dental offices). But, with my recent diagnosis of 'mild' emphysema I resumed wearing a mask when going to high volume public places.
Some people forget the old saying- "better safe than sorry"...still relevant more now than ever, with so many people in society under the influence of wild-eyed fake media.

And I doubt your understanding of the replication of viruses and the way the immune system works when a vaccinated person becomes infected. Basically statistics is about probability.
