As COVID-19 continues to spread around the United States, and the whole world for that matter, a coronavirus vaccine is highly anticipated and expected sooner rather than later. But according to Anthony Fauci, MD, the pressure to develop a vaccine as soon as possible for the people to use comes with great risk. He explained that developing a vaccine takes time (usually between 18 months and two years at least), and rushing the process might actually be dangerous. Before reaching the market, a vaccine must be safe for use and proven to be effective, otherwise its testing and efficacy can be compromised.
“The one thing that you would not want to see with a vaccine is getting a EUA [emergency use authorization] before you have a signal of efficacy,” Fauci said in a phone interview with Reuters. “One of the potential dangers if you prematurely let a vaccine out is that it would make it difficult, if not impossible, for the other vaccines to enroll people in their trial.”
Loosely translated, rushing the process might actually do more harm than good. According to Fauci, EUA is a must when we talk about treatments that are meant to diagnose, treat, and prevent serious diseases where the benefits surpass the potential downsides.
Fauci is quite concerned about the coronavirus vaccine, and he even reacted when Russia announced in August that their vaccine is available for mass use. Needless to say, Fauci declared in a live video interview with Bloomberg’s QuickTake on Aug. 18 that he will never support Russia or any other country that releases a vaccine that hasn’t been properly tested before because it could jeopardize overall testing and put patients at risk.
“Because that would really impact upon the rest of the world if it turns out the vaccine isn’t safe,” he added. He explained that the concern he and other people have regarding the apparition of an early vaccine is that it’s almost impossible that it has been adequately tested, so it might not be as safe and efficient as some might think.
Now, regarding Russia, Fauci believes that they took a huge risk by developing a vaccine so early, continuing that they’re willing to test the vaccine on people even though they do not know for sure if it’s safe or effective.

Thank you for updated info.
Makes sense. Thank you..
Dr Fraudci
I myself dont believe for a second this virus came from a wet market…this was man made and I hope the bastards that did it rot in hell….thats just my thoughts
I agree. And it may have even been intentionally dispersed when the Chinese Communist Party began to realize that its chances of ever competing economically with the USA were doomed unless the USA could be stopped by “outside forces”. In this narrative, the Chinese would also suffer, but its population numbers compared with those in the USA would, in time, let China dominate all world trade activity.
I believe like you it was man make and I feel the same way my mom got it and die. Someone is going to be accountable for the death of my mom. Plus my best friend.
I totally agree and further more that Fauci is out to make a lot of money over this virus. Better to have real scientists and doctors advise.
Yeah right, just like the 1918 pandemic was started by martians from the future.
Fauci said in a phone interview with Reuters. “One of the potential dangers if you prematurely let a vaccine out is that it would make it difficult, if not impossible, for the other vaccines to enroll people in their trial.”
But yet Fauci himself set the precedent in proclaiming Remdesivir the SOC of care for treating patients who have contracted covid-19 that are too sick to self-quarantine — even though Remdesivir demonstrated serious side effects balanced against little to no efficacy in treatment. Their clinical trials did NOT even reach clinical significance, a standard that any other non-Big pharm company has to achieve, and they now suffer the same predicament that Fauci warns about regarding vaccines — and that is the extreme difficulty of enrolling people in their clinical trials.
Thank you Dr. Fauci, for the the information. Keep us updated.
He is like a roller coaster. Certainly not the only opinion I listen to. Move forward
and get this country back to work. Protect those that need it such as the elderly
for example. Rest of us quit wining and stop listening to so called experts that
are fear mongers.
He is definitely not the only opinion that matters
Vitamin D3!!! 50 IU’s per lb. No flu. No Covid. I’ve been taking 10,000 IUs for 30 years and have never had a cold, the flu, in that time and I was asymptomatic for COVID. I worked with sick kids and a wife who got the flu every year until she listened to me. Hasn’t been sick since.
Dr Fauci is responsible for COVID-19 and should be tried for crimes against humanity! After the DHS ordered him to cease his coronavirus research, due to probability of a pandemic, he gave Wuhan Institute of Virology a $3.5 million grant. Who authorized this grant? In January of 2017 he stated this Administration would see a pandemic. How damn convenient!
Why do people listen to this incompetent, self serving, FAILED physician who is just a government puppet. If Americans want to hold somebody responsible, then this is your man. Can you say MALPRACTICE??
You are delusional. You need to check your facts sir.
Dr. Fauci is an air head, nothing more nothing less.
He’s over reacting!
We have enough humans on the planet to test vaccines until the cows come home!!
thank you for caring about us. I follow all the guidelines you have set .
I agree!
Thank you. Dr. Fauci, for.being the only honest person in.Washington.
Thank you for the information. Will be waiting for the correctly developed, the correctly tested vaccine, and properly evaluated before the release to the population.
Fauci has flip flopped on almost everything. China changed this virus and set it free to ruin us. they should be accountable for the sick and dying people. I think Trump did everything he could knowing what he knew. we need to ban all chinese products (which is a lot). Make our country great again. China should be punished. they knew what they had and they made it on purpose.
Fauci hasn’t treated patients in over 30 years. He is another government talking head. I don’t trust him at all.
I will take the vaccine when Dr. Fauchi and other Covid-19 experts say it is safe to take.
Why would anyone listen to this failed physician. He is it to make millions over this vaccine and is a liar with some of his so called facts. I for one, would never listen to him. Check the facts on this person.
Fauci is responsible for so many deaths…. so so many. He doesn’t give a fig about us… we are his experiments, his guinea pigs, his cash flow… We are cattle to him, really. It sickens me to think people actually believe his BS.
These remarks make it very hard to believe fact from fiction, and the virus marches on and on.
