US President Donald J. Trump has repeatedly undermined Dr. Anthony Fauci's assessments and guidance about the coronavirus pandemic. Now, Business Insider reports Fauci admitted Tuesday that his experience serving in the Trump administration has been 'somewhat awkward.' It's not a happy day when you have to get up in front of national TV and contradict something that the President of the United States says. I take no pleasure in that at all. Dr. Anthony Fauci Interview, Harvard Business Review Fauci has been the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984. He's worked with every US president since Ronald Reagan. But Trump has repeatedly contradicted Fauci's assessment of the pandemic and pushed back against necessary public-health measures.
The U.S. could soon be giving at least a million COVID-19 vaccinations a day. This would be a major shift from the current speed which has been described as a sluggish start. Dr. Anthony Fauci warned of a dangerous next few weeks as the coronavirus surges. The slow pace is frustrating health officials and a desperate public alike, says HuffPost. Only about a third of the first supplies shipped to states have been used as of Tuesday morning. This is just over three weeks into the vaccination campaign.
The vaccination campaign against the novel coronavirus COVID-19 is rolling along--but very, very slowly. While the FDA has approved two vaccines for distribution, experts say it will be many months before all Americans who want a vaccine can receive one. An NBC News analysis says that at the current pace, it'll take nearly a decade to vaccinate enough Americans to bring the pandemic under control. And according to Business Insider, Brown University's Dr. Ashish K. Jha knows why. He says it's because the Trump administration has bucked the responsibility of vaccine distribution to already overwhelmed state health departments.
The Transportation Security Administration screened 1,284,599 people in airports nationwide on Sunday. That is the most since the COVID-19 pandemic's start, says Business Insider. Sunday was also the sixth day in the last 10 that the TSA screened more than 1 million travelers. More than 63,000 Americans died of COVID-19 in December. December 2020 is now the deadliest month of the pandemic. Anthony Fauci said the pandemic will most likely get worse over the next few weeks due to high holiday travel.
