How close are we to the end of this pandemic?\u201d Woodruff asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, that\u2019s an unanswerable question for the following reason, and I don\u2019t want to be evasive about it, but let me tell you why I\u2019m giving you that answer,\u201d Fauci began. \u201cWe are certainly right now in this country out of the pandemic phase, namely we don\u2019t have 900,000 new infections a day and tens and tens and tens of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands of deaths. We are at a low level right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, if you\u2019re saying if we are out of the pandemic phase in this country? We are. What we hope to do, I don\u2019t believe I\u2019ve spoken about this widely, we\u2019re not going to eradicate this virus,\u201d Fauci continued, saying that keeping the level low might require <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/spectacular-and-deadly-failure-msnbc-host-blames-biden-for-low-covid-booster-rates\/\">additional vaccine boosters<\/a> over time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat might be every year, it might be longer in order to keep the level low. But right now we are not in the pandemic phase in this country,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that assessment, however, <a href=\"https:\/\/view.newsletters.cnn.com\/messages\/16510303831227820c4875e4e\/raw?utm_term=16510303831227820c4875e4e&#038;utm_source=cnn_Reliable+Sources+-+April+26%2C+2022&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;bt_ee=8qqKKvrHJ68vjOm8u8QM7gdIR1dQdFJx81VwJuq%2B4IZDpskI6P1lU93P3S0CdV52&#038;bt_ts=1651030383125\">CNN reported<\/a> that Fauci has backed out of plans to attend the upcoming White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner \u2014 which he was scheduled to attend as a guest of ABC News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe recently decided to abandon those plans and inform ABC that he would no longer attend because of an individual assessment of his own personal risk,\u201d CNN\u2019s Brian Stelter and Oliver Darcy reported.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
