US’ top infectious disease official, Dr Anthony Fauci assures lawmakers that once coronavirus vaccine is approved as safe and effective, Americans should have widespread access
Dr Anthony Fauci testifies during the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis hearing in Washington, DC, US, July 31, 2020.
“I believe, ultimately, over a period of time in 2021, that Americans will be able to get it,” the director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases said, referring to the vaccine. Fauci clashed with Representative Jim Jordan at a hearing of the US House of Representatives Subcommittee on the Coronavirus, after the Ohio Republican demanded Fauci's opinion about whether protests should be curbed or eliminated to control the pandemic.
Trump, who appeared to be watching the proceedings, weighed against his Democratic critics on Twitter: "Our massive testing capability, rather than being praised, is used by the Lamestream Media and their partner, the Do Nothing Radical Left Democrats, as a point of scorn. This testing, and what we have so quickly done, is used as a Fake News weapon. Sad!"
The latest government data shows about 75 percent of testing results are coming back within five days, but the remainder are taking longer, Giroir told lawmakers. “There are certain fundamentals,” he said, “the staples of what you need to do ... one is universal wearing of masks.” The US also knocked back the initial spread, but it never got the background level of new cases quite as low. And the resurgence of Covid-19 in the Sunbelt in recent weeks has driven the number of new daily cases back up into the 60,000-70,000 range. It coincided with economic reopening and a return to social gatherings, particularly among younger adults. Growing numbers of emergency room visits, hospitalisations and deaths have followed as grim consequences.
