COVID-19: U.S. could control COVID by spring 2022 if more people get shots -Fauci
The United States could get COVID-19 under control by early next year if vaccinations ramp up, Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Tuesday, one day after Pfizer (PFE.N) won fuller FDA approval for its shot, with more potential approvals coming in the weeks ahead.
Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, said in multiple television interviews and a White House press conference that full Food and Drug Administration approval for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine paves the way for more people to get inoculated, with potential approval for Moderna Inc's (MRNA.O) in the coming weeks and authorization for younger children by autumn. ...
Or, if I may offer an alternative interpretation:
The earliest possible timeframe for control of COVID-19 within the US is April 2022, and it will in all likelihood be later.
Given the current state of affairs, much later.
Welcome to Eternal Covid.
