I mean, we are doing better,\u201d Fauci <a href=\"https:\/\/transcripts.cnn.com\/show\/sotu\/date\/2021-12-19\/segment\/01\">said<\/a>&nbsp;during an appearance on CNN\u2019s <em>State of the Union<\/em> when asked if the state of testing is currently \u201cacceptable\u201d in America.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIf you look now compared to what we were a year ago, it\u2019s extraordinarily much different in the positive sense. We now have multiple, multiple at-home tests available, when we virtually had none a year ago. But we do need to do better,\u201d he said, expressing the need to&nbsp;\u201cflood the system with testing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to have tests available for anyone who wants them, particularly when we\u2019re in a situation right now where people are going to be gathering,\u201d he continued, suggesting that vaccinated and boosted Americans should still seek out tests.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.3684210526316\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FULL INTERVIEW: Fauci warns of record-high cases, hospitalizations and deaths<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HIwytOHOUT\">https:\/\/t.co\/HIwytOHOUT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 State of the Union (@CNNSotu) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CNNSotu\/status\/1472643394337968137?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 19, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cEven though they are vaccinated and boosted, they may want to go that extra step, that extra mile to know that, when we have people coming into the home, where they are going someplace, that you can know in 15 minutes whether or not you\u2019re positive,\u201d Fauci said, later adding that vaccinated individuals should still exercise caution and \u201cwear a mask\u201d when traveling in indoor congregate settings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is going to be tough. We can\u2019t walk away from that, Jake. We can\u2019t, because, with Omicron that we\u2019re dealing with, it is going to be a tough few weeks to months as we get deeper into the winter,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci also argued that the U.S. does not yet have a proper \u201cveil of protection\u201d because 50 million eligible Americans are still unvaccinated.&nbsp;However, the public health official admitted that it would not end there. Masking and testing, he added, is still crucial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we have got to realize that it is more than just getting vaccination. Vaccination is an absolutely essential part of this process. But there are other things. And that\u2019s the reason why we stress the idea about masking and testing,\u201d he said, once again contradicting what public health officials said at the start of vaccine rollout, where they presented vaccines as the way out of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople think that vaccine is the answer to everything. We can\u2019t do it without vaccines, Jake, but we can do a lot more with other things, and testing, for example, both yourself and your family when you\u2019re getting ready to do something, go out into the community, or when you\u2019re going to have people over your own house,\u201d he added, stressing testing as \u201cpart of the president\u2019s winter plan.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested on Sunday that fully vaccinated Americans who received a coronavirus booster shot should still do more, wearing masks and undergoing a coronavirus test before gatherings in &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1134588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1134588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1134588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1134588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1134588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1134588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1134588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
