Fauci says COVID-19 vaccine unlikely to bring sufficient herd immunity with many Americans saying they wont get vaccinated.
Fauci says he would settle for a COVID-19 vaccine thats 70% to 75% effective, but that this incomplete protection, coupled with the fact that many Americans say they wont get a coronavirus vaccine, makes it unlikely that the US will achieve sufficient levels of immunity to quell the outbreak.
with government support, three coronavirus vaccines are expected to be studied in large-scale clinical trials in the next three months.
The best weve ever done is measles, which is 97 to 98 percent effective, said Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. That would be wonderful if we get there. I dont think we will. I would settle for [a] 70, 75% effective vaccine.
A CNN poll last month found one-third of Americans said they would not try to get vaccinated against COVID, even if the vaccine is widely available and low cost.
In an interview Friday, CNN asked Fauci whether a vaccine with 70% to 75% efficacy taken by only two-thirds of the population would provide herd immunity to the coronavirus.
No unlikely, he answered.

The virus doesn't need us to live very long, only long enough to spread it to others
