King Fauci on Monday night told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that if the majority of Americans would just get vaccinated, Covid would be under control by Spring of 2022.
Fauci said the US could return to a degree of normalcy if the majority, or 90%+ Americans get the Covid jab.
Fauci also warned that new variants would spring up because of the unvaccinated people which could really complicate things.
“If we keep lingering without getting those people vaccinated that should be vaccinated, this thing could linger on, leading to the development of another variant which could complicate things.”
Anderson Cooper pressed Fauci: “What percentage of people would need to be vaccinated?”
“We don’t know,” Fauci said. “Could be 85%, could be 90%”
