With the coronavirus back on the front page again, after taking office, you have a right to worry: we have lost 400,000 Americans to the virus, and the distribution of vaccination seems delayed. As a result, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s leading infectious disease specialist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is appearing with messages about the vaccine. Keep reading to see when he feels we’re going to “get our lives back” and what you need to do – and to ensure your health and the health of others, don’t miss these Certain signs that you’ve had Coronavirus.
“Get vaccinated”, Fauci begs
“As someone who grew up in Brooklyn, the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority has a special place in my heart,” he said in a message to the MTA. “The New York subway system is built into my brain. I took the subway every day to get from my home in Brooklyn, to get to and from Regis High School in Manhattan, I would do the BMT – what was then called West End line. When I lived in Bensonhurst, or what was then called the Sea Beach line. When I moved to Dyker Heights, I would go from there to 14th street in Union Square, where I would take the Lexington Avenue IRT express – 86 with Lex to get to Regis on 85 between Madison and Park, and so I can warmly relate to you guys who played an important role in my young days as a New Yorker.
“And so, as I care about all of you,” he continued, “I strongly encourage all MTA employees to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. This pandemic has cost us a lot and vaccination is the best way to fight and help restore our lives. The vaccines against coronavirus authorized in the USA, one made by Pfizer, the other by Moderna, are safe and free. And they are about 95% effective in preventing the illness of adults of all ages. The sooner you are vaccinated, the the sooner we can get our lives back and our country back on track during the pandemic in the United States, you kept New York City’s public transport moving, which is why you are essential workers on the front lines to get a vaccine against coronavirus. Take advantage of it. Get vaccinated to be fully protected. You need an injection plus an injection, an injection a few weeks later. This can save your life. I wish you all the best, take care. And even after being vaccinated, stay safe by continuing to follow public health g limitations of wearing a mask. “
When will we be back to normal then? “Fall,” predicts Fauci.
