“As we move from late autumn to early winter, the numbers are really worrying,” said Fauci.

“With hospitalizations above 120,000, we are really in a critical phase,” he said, before adding the Christmas parties: “Even if we advise you not, it will happen.”

He predicted that with the distribution of Pfizer and Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines in the coming months, US health experts are expected to see the general population achieve significant herd immunity by the end of next summer.

“I think it will probably be between the middle and the end of next summer, so I hope … until autumn we reach this critical percentage of people,” said Fauci.

His comments came in response to a question about Biden’s comments about the pandemic during a press conference last Tuesday, in which Biden urged Americans to remain vigilant with social distance and other measures during the Christmas holiday to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

“Experts say things will get worse despite the vaccine,” said Biden. “Our average mortality rate is almost 3,000 a day. This means that we will lose tens of thousands of lives in the coming months, and the vaccine will not be able to prevent that.”

“So we still have to remain vigilant,” he added.
