"I don't think we can eliminate Covid. We can control it. We will have to continue booster vaccinations every year or year and a half. But we can stop this pandemic, we can reduce infections so that it is no longer a public threat."
This was stated by the American immunologist Anthony Fauci, interviewed by Fabio Fazio at 'Che tempo che fa'.
Fauci recalled that only one pathogen has been eradicated so far, that of smallpox.
The Covid vaccine to be taken in pills "is not yet a reality", but "we are working on it together with Pfizer".
"In the US we are vaccinating adolescents aged 12 and over with Pfizer, and I believe that the green light for vaccinations from this age will be given very soon also in Italy and elsewhere, because the data we have is very safe".
