Fauci Says 100 Million Vaccinations in 100 Days "Absolutely a Doable Thing"
[All this for a really bad case of the flu - now it's a mutant, an alien]
President-elect Joe Biden's goal of delivering 100 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine within the first 100 days of his presidency "is absolutely a doable thing," Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on Sunday.
Fauci, speaking to NBC, said two new vaccines under development by AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson could "very soon" be presented to U.S. regulators for approval, which would increase the pace of vaccinations. "We're weeks away, not months away, for sure," he said.
He said more vaccinations—coupled with mask-wearing and avoiding crowds—would be the best way for the United States to tackle a new, more infectious strain of the coronavirus.
"If we can get the overwhelming majority of the population vaccinated, we'd be in very good shape and could beat even the mutant," he said.
