Fauci estimates US won’t return to normal before fall
Dr. Anthony Fauci estimated on Thursday that the United States wouldn’t return to normality before the fall next year, mostly due to the “lagging” rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine.
In an interview with MSNBC, Fauci said that “it’s going to take several months” for the vaccination to start producing results. “It’s not going to happen in the first few months” of 2021, he noted, adding that “hopefully, as we get into the end of the summer, the beginning of the fall of 2021, we can start to approach some degree of normality.”
Earlier in the day, he criticized the vaccine rollout process saying that just 2.8 million doses were administered in the US out of 12.4 million distributed jabs. Initial forecasts suggested around 20 million Americans would be inoculated by the end of 2020.
