"We really don't know what the real number is," Fauci said in an interview with The New York Times. "I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent. But, I'm not going to say 90 percent." This month, the US Food and Drug Administration authorized both Moderna and Pfizer and BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine for emergency use which have been rolled out across the country.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is not having Thanksgiving dinner with his family this year. However, contrary to media reports, the 79-year old scientist is not "canceling Thanksgiving." Fauci said his decision not to have Thanksgiving is not a mandate against the gathering. "That doesn't mean everybody should be calling Thanksgiving off." He stated that many should consider it. Fauci and the CDC's Dr. Robert Redfield have already warned small gatherings are driving an uptick in coronavirus cases around the country. "That's the exact scenario that you're going to see in Thanksgiving," he said Ultimately, people have to weigh the risks of coming together for Thanksgiving this year for themselves.

Fauci is the world's leading infectious disease specialist. He and the President are arguing as the pandemic begins the feared fall & winter spike. Trump has slammed Fauci repeatedly. Early in the pandemic Fauci said mask wearing was not necessary. "Let's see if we could put this to rest once and for all," Fauci said. "Cloth coverings work."
