Leading immunologist Dr. Anthony Fauci warned that a coronavirus vaccine might not be effective in providing herd immunity if enough people refuse to get the inoculation.
While speaking with CNN about the potential vaccine for COVID-19, which experts say is essential in returning back to normal pre-coronavirus life, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases warned that unless more than tw0-thirds of Americans get the vaccine, it won’t be effective.
CNN asked Fauci about the fact that a recent poll by the network showed that one-third of Americans wouldn’t want to be vaccinated against the disease, even if it was provided at a low cost.
Assuming that the coronavirus vaccine has a 70-75 percent efficacy, if one-third of people didn’t get vaccinated, the country wouldn’t see the herd immunity necessary to protect the population from the virus.
