Fauci asks Americans to prepare to get vaccinated as states plan for distribution

CNN

As the US prepares for the first round of vaccinations to tackle Covid-19, infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci called on the public to “be part of the solution” and get vaccinated once it is available.

“Say, ‘I’m not going to be one of the people that’s going to be a steppingstone for the virus to go to somebody else. I’m going to be a dead end to the virus,'” Fauci told Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Monday.

The virus has been spreading quickly, and November set records 20 times for the number of coronavirus hospitalizations, according to the Covid Tracking Project, the most recent Monday with 96,039. All the while Johns Hopkins University data reports that the US has reached more than 13.5 million total cases and 268,045 deaths. And the impacts of Thanksgiving travel still won’t be felt for weeks, health experts say.

Holiday gatherings — like Thanksgiving and upcoming Christmas and Hanukkah — are the “perfect setup” for people who have no symptoms to “innocently and inadvertently” spread infections to their loved ones.

With that in mind, officials are preparing for the first wave of vaccine distributions.

Vaccine candidates from Pfizer and Moderna are both awaiting emergency use authorizations (EUA). States have until Friday to request the number of doses for Pfizer’s vaccine, Executive Director of the Association of Immunization Managers Claire Hannan told CNN Monday.

Once the US Food and Drug Administration grants EUAs and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention makes recommendations on which groups will get the vaccines first, they will be ready to be shipped out, Dr. Moncef Slaoui, Operation Warp Speed chief scientific adviser, said Monday. And that very day or the next, the first immunizations can be administered, he said.

US still battling a surge

But even after vaccines start to be distributed in December, there won’t be enough for the wider public to be immunized until April or May of 2021, Fauci said. Until then, the US is still contending with an unprecedented spike.

In Minnesota, more than a third of counties are 10 times over what would be considered a high-risk threshold for infection rate growth as the state is in “the worst spot we’ve been in since March,” Minnesota Department of Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm said Monday.

“When there’s this great increase in the number of Minnesotans needing hospitalization for Covid, that can have some really serious implications for the availability of hospital care for other critical issues as well,” Malcolm said. “And the number of people being admitted for Covid is far overshadowing what we saw back in May.”

To manage the risk of reopening, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced a new “Red to Green” system that tiers counties by their risk of spread. The data will be updated biweekly, and if a county fails to meet the metrics, it will begin operating at the most restrictive level within 48 hours.

Nationally, Monday marked the 28th consecutive day that the US reported more than 100,000 new cases — a number that far exceeds the records set in the spring and summer surges which both stayed below 60,000.

  1. I ENCOURAGE EVERY SOB WHO BELIEVES ANY OF THIS SHIT, OR THESE SMILEY FACE KIKE ZIONIST ASS LICKERS (INCLUDING YOUR TRUMP GOD) To please make sure you get out and be first in line to get that wonderful savior love shot from your Globalist, Eugenics proponent masters.

    Gonna be real nice to watch the people who line up and take it (The real ones-not the fake ones they’ll pretend to take on camera) start to get sick as dogs and start dropping dead.

    As I have said even if it was 100% perfect, safe and well understood technology (which it isn’t by any stretch of anyone’s imagination)
    We as American Nationals can not in any way be made to be obligated, mandated, ordered or even shamed into taking any foreign substance into our bodies.

    If it is forced then you will have your response. If you use our jobs and ability to engage in the free market public commons by using as surrogates our employers, the local DMV’s, or even the grocery stores etc. It is the same result.

    Unfortunately my brethren here, this is exactly where they are going to take this and I see no signs of pulling back (so be it).

    Let’s be ready and get your mind ready more so. I trust many will rise, even after our own demise from this global hegemony. Henry is right this will the most vicious, horrible, terrifying war ever seen on this earth.

    And it is at our doorsteps.
