Speaking at an event hosted by the National Press Club on Friday, Dr. Anthony Fauci explained why he believes “we’re not going to get classical herd immunity” with the pandemic.
Video Transcript: JEN JUDSON: Does the study published by the CDC on morbidity and mortality indicate the US has reached the herd immunity threshold? If not, when will we get there? Is that sooner or later than you expect?
ANTHONY FAUCI: Well, I recently wrote a paper a few weeks ago how the concept of how we classically think of herd immunity is likely unattainable in COVID-19. So I think we have to realize that, because herd immunity was the examples that I gave on the slides a few minutes ago when I showed what happens, what we did with measles, what we did with polio.
