That is going to happen,\u201d Fauci outlined. \u201cThe issue is that people need to understand that even with that, the likelihood of a vaccinated and boosted person of getting seriously ill from the infection is getting very, very low. It is the unvaccinated people who are the most vulnerable \u2014 not only to getting infected but to getting a serious outcome. So, I understand how there could be some confusion.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>He continued, \u201cYou tell people, please get vaccinated, get boosted. Even if you do get infected, you are largely protected against getting seriously. And that\u2019s the thing people need to understand. They shouldn\u2019t throw up their hands and say, \u2018Well, if you can get infected even if you\u2019re vaccinated, why get vaccinated?\u2019 There is a very big difference \u2026 between a vaccinated and an unvaccinated person when they get infected with regard to the consequences of that infection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fauci was asked by co-host Nate Burleson if there could become enough spread of the virus and population immunity to the point where coronavirus is like the common cold or the flu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s entirely conceivable and likely, as a matter of fact,\u201d Fauci replied. \u201cWe are not going to be in a situation of this degree of intensity indefinitely, for sure. And we are hoping when we get through this Omicron wave, that we will have enough people vaccinated and\/or having been infected and recovered well that there will be a degree of immunity in the community such that you don\u2019t have a situation where it is dominating your life where the level of infection and control is very low. We hope to get there soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci advised that it was \u201centirely conceivable and likely\u201d that the coronavirus would be much like the common &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"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-1138857","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\/1138857","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\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1138857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1138857\/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=1138857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1138857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1138857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
