Dr. Anthony Fauci Provides Data Showing Effectiveness Of COVID Vaccine
Dr. Anthony Fauci has been going from one interview to another speaking about the need for Americans to get vaccinated. He is trying his best to convince people to get vaccinated. In a recent press briefing, he showed some data to convey the effectiveness of the COVID vaccine in the US. The data was particularly based on the delta variant which is spreading very fast in the US. Furthermore, he said, “This is COVID-19 data over the past 30 days, essentially Delta data. People who are not fully vaccinated, are eight times more likely to test positive, 41 times more likely to be hospitalized, and 57 times more likely to die, compared to people who are vaccinated.”
Vaccine For Children Between 5 And 11 May Come Soon, Says Dr. Anthony Fauci
Fauci revealed that Pfizer and BioNTech have shared the results of their trials on children with the FDA and CDC. The data is showing promising results among children and there is a possibility that children between 5 and 11 would soon become eligible for the vaccine. Moreover, Fauci said, “Pfizer and BioNTech submitted their data to the FDA from their phase 2/3 trials of their vaccine in children five to 11. The N was over 2,000. The company’s report that the vaccine demonstrated a favorable safety profile and elicited robust neutralizing antibody using a two-dose regimen of 10 microgram doses.”

Booster shots have been proposed in the US for people above 65 and those who are at the risk of getting exposed to COVID in their day-to-day lives. Fauci also showed data that proved the effectiveness of booster shots. He said, “Twelve days or more after of the booster dose, the rate of confirmed infection was lower in the booster group than in the non-booster group by a factor of 11.3, and the rate of severe illness lower by a factor of 19.5.”
