Here is yet another amazing coincidence brought you by the little weasel who is loved by the media, Dr. Anthony Fauci. The man, who wasn’t so gung ho on vaccines against COVID-19 when Trump said they would come out before the end of the year, is suddenly of the mindset that COVID-19 wouldn’t be a pandemic “much longer.” Instead, the virus will be annihilated by the Operation Warp Speed vaccines, and there still may be a few isolated cases around for years.

COVID-19 won’t be a pandemic for “a lot longer” thanks to rapid progress in vaccine development, says Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease official.
The coronavirus could nonetheless remain endemic for a long time, the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said at an event organized by Chatham House, a U.K. think tank.
“Certainly it’s not going to be pandemic for a lot longer, because I believe the vaccines are going to turn that around,” Fauci said. “Vaccines will help us. What we’ve got to do is just hang on and continue to double down on the public health measures.”
Generally, a pandemic is defined as an infection that puts the global population at risk, while an endemic disease is one that spreads in some areas and not others.
Fauci also said developers should push to make billions of their COVID-19 vaccines to ensure access to all parts of the world, instead of focusing on the rich countries.
