Anyone who hasn’t had all their COVID vaccination shots could be in for a difficult time as the colder seasons approach and the virus continues to spread, America’s top doctor has warned.
“There are enough people who don’t fall into [high-risk] categories, that if they don’t get vaccinated, if they don’t get boosted, they’re going to get into trouble,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House’s chief medical adviser, told L.A. radio station KNX’s In Depth show on Tuesday.
Almost 80% of the U.S. population has been given at least one dose of a COVID vaccine, but only two-thirds of Americans have received their second shot and less than half have had their booster dose, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Fauci said Tuesday that while he understood everyone was “exhausted” with the pandemic, studies and statistics clearly showed that vaccines prevented severe disease, hospitalization, and death.
CDC research in June showed that COVID-associated hospitalizations were 4.6 times higher in unvaccinated adults than they were in those who had been vaccinated.
Fauci also emphasized that high immunization rates could help prevent new variants of the virus by slowing its spread, while long COVID was also a factor to consider when thinking about staying up-to-date with vaccinations.
“People say, ‘The risk to me is low, so why get [vaccinated]?’” he said. “It is about you as an individual, but it’s also about the communal responsibility to get this outbreak under control.”
He added: “You don’t want COVID to dominate the lives of people throughout this country or the world, but you don’t want to, by wishing it’s behind us and it’s in the rearview mirror, not do things that would be prudent. We’re not talking about locking down, we’re just talking about common sense, getting the appropriate interventions when they’re available to you—and right now we have boosters that are very effective in diminishing any aspect of the infection.”
Getting vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19 was important as the virus continued to mutate, Fauci told KNX, as it was “doing something that we’ve never seen any other virus do” by continuing to evolve into new variants that could evade the prior immune response.
“The durability of protection against infection is measured in a matter of several months, as opposed to measles, where the durability is measured in decades, if not a lifetime,” he pointed out. “[With] polio, the durability of protection against reinfection once you’ve been infected or vaccinated is measured in decades, not in several months. That’s something we’ve never had to deal with.”
On Aug. 2, the U.S. recorded 659 deaths from COVID-19 and 161,225 new cases of the virus, according to the CDC.
This week, the CDC said it was tracking a new “variant of concern” dubbed BA.4.6, which made up 4.1% of U.S. COVID cases last week and was particularly prevalent in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska.
So far, there is little data on whether BA.4.6 is more transmissible than previous Omicron subvariants.

Well, I guess I’m going to be in trouble……
It is pretty hard to contain the righteous anger I feel toward this demonic man. It is unbelievable, with all the evidence, that he isn’t in prison, awaiting execution, as one of history’s worst violators of the Nuremberg Code.
I am not a person who would get a tattoo but if I did, it likely would be Romans 12:19:
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
There are so many situations that come up daily where I must remember this verse. Like Lot, my soul is vexed.
Listening for a trumpet!
Great comment and I agree with your every word!! MARANATHA!
I think Anthony Fauci is a deep state LIAR! He had a part in the develoopment of Covid-19 in the Chinese Wuhan Lab. He also benefits from the patents he has on the vaccine. He needs to be fired from his position and go to jail for the deaths that occurred in this country and all over the world. Our son has been fully vaxed with shots and two boosters and he has had the virus three times.
fauci is SO FULL OF **IT!!!
Pure evil! Judgment is coming soon! I do not believe there plan will survive much longer. As time goes on they are slowly getting set back. If the Lord doesn’t intervene soon then we will have big trouble in their nation. I know people don’t want to hear it but civil war is coming! We are not going to bow down to this charade again.
I thought it was the vaccine producing the variants. He’s been caught in so many lies he has lost reality. I once saw a church billoard saying something to the effect of when you lie you have to create another lie to back it up; eventually, forgetting the truth. He and his wife have profited off of the American people for decades, it’s shameful.
Most of my family are vaxed and all have had Covid and my daughter-in-law twice. I chose not to get vaxed much to the consternation of our family and friends. God has blessed me with good health. My sister has had adverse reactions and has been writing politicians etc to inform and nobody acknowledges it. My feeling is that we are living in a plandemic of the vaxed. God have mercy on the human race.
Well that’s just amazing Doctor Death. We must be an anomaly here in New Zealand, because over 90% of the hospitalisations and deaths here, are with the Pfizer injected/boosted.
I will take my chances. I am never going to take that vaccine even if it means my death.
There is ample evidence that “vaccinated” people are more likely to get covid and to get sicker with it than thos who had the sense to stay away from the experimental shots.
Money hungry bastard! Sorry but God forgive me for yelling at this asshole!
Me too. Better to be in trouble with man than God.
Read “The Real Anthony Fauci” by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., for the whole truth about this wicked and evil man!
