Across the US, millions of Americans are planning on scaled-back
Thanksgiving dinners, with only members of their immediate family
“bubbles” invited. Mayors of some of America’s large cities,
along with the governors of California, Oregon and Washington
State, have asked residents to limit travel over the holidays.
As angst about the spoiled Thanksgiving holiday simmers, Dr.
Anthony Fauci acknowledged Sunday during an appearance on CNN’s
“State of the Union” that American families should probably
prepare to skip Christmas dinner, too.
While Dr. Fauci has repeatedly praised Pfizer and Moderna, and
assured the American public that the FDA’s first vaccine
emergency-use authorization could be handed down within days, he
cautioned during Sunday’s interview that people should continue
to wear masks and observe social distancing even after they’ve
been vaccinated.
It’s just the latest unsettling hint that social distancing
requirements could be here to stay.
“I would recommend to people to not abandon all public health
measures just because you’ve been vaccinated,” Fauci said
during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union. “Because even
though for the general population it might be 90% to 95% effective,
you don’t necessarily know for you how effective it is.”
Later in the interview, Dr. Fauci agreed, with some trepidation,
with Jake Tapper’s assessment that Christmas “is probably not
going to be possible.”

Dr. Fauci responded that people “can’t abandon fundamental
public health measures” until the vaccine has been somewhat
widely distributed. That might not be until the second or third
quarter of next year.
As the interview turned toward the “models” calling for
massive numbers of COVID-19 deaths over the winter, Dr. Fauci
claimed that calls for another 200,000 deaths in the US over the
coming 4 months (a rate many times higher than where we are
currently) could come to pass if people don’t obey new COVID-19
restrictions (exactly what he said last time). At this time, Dr.
Fauci said that while a national lockdown doesn’t seem to be
imminent, if the situation continues to worsen, anything might be
possible.

“There is light at the end of
the tunnel. Help is coming and that should…motivate people to
just say, ‘We’re going to double down and do this uniformly.’ Those
are the tools we have.”

Finally, Dr. Fauci also discussed the importance of making sure
the vaccines appear safe, an issue
we touched upon earlier today.
