USA: Even though Dr. Anthony Fauci, who became the voice of comfort and political polarization during the pandemic, is leaving the government in December, he still has a lot to say.
Joe Biden, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical adviser to the vice president, said in an interview with USA Today that even as the world begins to reopen, the pandemic is still not over.
In discussing the "new normal," Dr. "I think you have to focus primarily on COVID," Fauci insisted. Infectious diseases appear more often than most people realize. Many of them are comparatively insignificant on a global scale.
Fauci noted outbreaks of Zika and Ebola in Brazil and West Central Africa, which had a much lower geographic spread than the Covid-19 outbreak.
“You have to keep in mind that even though the pandemic is in its third year, it is still going on. The third anniversary of a historic pandemic that we experienced unexpectedly, but sadly, many types of increases will be in January 2023. For Fauci. "It's really historic,"
Fauci has devoted his career to researching new viruses and directing the US government's response to public health emergencies such as West Nile virus and the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 1980s.
"The underlying cause of Covid, Sars CoV-2, can we really eradicate it? I can say unequivocally that the answer to that question would be no. Because only one important pathogen, smallpox, has been completely eradicated from the planet. It's done, Fauci says." We did this because smallpox doesn't vary much, and when you get infected or vaccinated with it, you get immunity that lasts at least decades, and probably lifelong."
According to Fauci, widespread vaccination is the best defense against COVID-19 in the US.
According to Fauci, widespread vaccination is the best defense against COVID-19 in the US. "The immunity you get from earlier infection as well as from vaccinations lasts literally months to a year, not a lifetime, as we see with smallpox, for reasons that we still don't fully understand. Therefore, we must reduce the virus. The level we have not yet reached as long as it does not disrupt the social order at present.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are an average of more than 88,000 new cases in the US and just under 400 deaths per day.
"Now, this is going to be the new normal. Covid will not go away; rather, we will learn to live with it on a level that won't bother us, according to Fauci.
While Fauci disagrees that masks should be worn outdoors, he recommends doing so indoors if the area has a high incidence of Covid-19 cases. In his opinion, the best defense against the virus is more vaccinations and booster shots.
With all the resources needed to immunize everyone and give booster shots for a wealthy nation like the United States, we are doing very poorly as a nation in vaccinations and booster shot ups. Our global situation is bad.
According to Fauci, by August 2022, 67% of Americans will have received all recommended vaccinations.
When it comes to the proportion of young children who are vaccinated, the nation is performing "very poorly," he continued.
According to the CDC, only 37% of American children ages 5 to 11 have received at least one dose. Only 6% of children aged 6 months to 4 years experience this problem.
According to Fauci, the scientific community has given developing a universal coronavirus vaccine - one that can treat all variations - top priority.
The outbreak of monkeypox was declared a public health emergency by the Biden administration this summer, which he further clarified.
According to Dr. Fauci, monkeypox and smallpox are closely related. "Many years ago, when smallpox was a major threat to the world and everyone, including me, got the vaccine, there was no monkeypox in humans."
According to Fauci, monkeypox was not common in humans at the time, but it is likely to be present in some animal species.
Because of the widespread use of smallpox vaccination, which provided protection against the disease. Simply put, we missed out on human monkeypox. However, anyone born after that period is not safe from smallpox because we have eliminated the disease and vaccination has been stopped somewhere around the world in the late 1970s. And in fact, there is no immunity to monkeypox, by definition.
According to Fauci, it is impossible to predict whether pandemics brought on by newly discovered viruses will be more frequent.
It is noteworthy that zoonotic infections account for about 75% of all newly emerging infections. They appear from animal stores. The flu causes this. AIDS causes this. Ebola does this. Covid makes it happen. And when it does, sometimes it's a curiosity that doesn't spread far, but sometimes it's an epidemic, and then it spreads to the whole world. And with covid, we are present as witness.
