And what\u2019s going to happen is that we\u2019re going to see that each individual is going to have to make their calculation of the amount of risk that they want to take in going to indoor dinners and in going to functions,\u201d Fauci <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/week-transcript-10-22-white-house-national-security\/story?id=83984068\">said<\/a> Sunday on ABC\u2019s \u201cThis Week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re at that point where in many respects \u2026 we\u2019re going to have to live with some degree of virus in the community,\u201d he said. \u00a0\u201cSo you\u2019re going to make a question and an answer for yourself, for me as an individual, for you as an individual. What is my age? What is my status? Do I have people at home who are vulnerable that if I bring the virus home there may be a problem?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The doctor also said the best way to mitigate the virus is to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re not, to get boosted if you\u2019re eligible to be boosted. If you\u2019re in the certain group like the CDC\u2019s recent determination about people 50 and older, and individuals with underlying conditions, get that fourth boost, which, by the way, we really need to concentrate a lot more on that, about getting new tests, getting drugs, getting vaccines which I hope the Congress comes through and gives us the resources so that as we get into what might be another surge that we\u2019re prepared with the \u2014 all of the tools that we need to address it,\u201d Fauci said.<\/p>\n<p>Back in March 2020, when the World Health Organization (WHO) was telling everyone COVID-19 was mostly a surface transmission virus, Fauci declared, \u201cThere\u2019s no reason to be walking around with a mask.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it\u2019s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is,\u201d the doctor said on CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>While experts didn\u2019t know early on in the pandemic exactly how many Americans would need antibodies to reach herd immunity, experts put the number ranged from more than 50% to upwards of 70%. Early on in the pandemic, Fauci put the number at 60% to 70%, but in December of 2020, he started upping that number, saying in an <a class=\"css-1g7m0tk\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/12\/16\/cnbc-transcript-dr-anthony-fauci-speaks-with-cnbcs-meg-tirrell-live-during-the-cnbc-healthy-returns-livestream-today.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interview<\/a>\u00a0with CNBC News that it would be \u201c75, 80, 85 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople were getting confused and thinking you\u2019re never going to get the infections down until you reach this mystical level of herd immunity, whatever that number is,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/nation-world\/reaching-herd-immunity-is-unlikely-in-the-u-s-experts-now-believe\/\">told<\/a> The New York Times at the time. \u201cThat\u2019s why we stopped using herd immunity in the classic sense. I\u2019m saying: Forget that for a second. You vaccinate enough people, the infections are going to go down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent, and ran the Drudge Report from 2010 to 2015.
