Anthony Fauci
Anthony FauciObama calls for Americans to be vaccinated in a tweet aimed at misinformation. Health officials warn that eradication of COVID-19 is unlikely to result in a modified AstraZeneca vaccine targeting the South African strain expected for the autumn., the director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, has predicted that achieving herd immunity against coronavirus may require vaccination of 90% of the population. Earlier, he estimated that the herd’s immunity could require more than 75% of the country to be vaccinated.
“When polls said only half of all Americans would get a vaccine, I was saying that the herd’s immunity would take between 70 and 75 percent,” Fauci told The New York Times in December. “Then when the most recent polls said 60% or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can do a little more of that,’ so I went to 80, 85.”
More than 33 million people in the U.S. have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, which represents more than 10% of the country’s total population.
The survey surveyed 1,055 adults in the U.S. between January 28 and February 1. It has a margin of error of about 3.8 percentage points.
