A clip posted on Twitter of the segment began with a CNBC news anchor asking Fauci if the COVID vaccine is truly as effective as the government suggested it is, pointing out that many ‘breakthrough’ infections seem to be occurring, even offering her own personal anecdote.
“I’m vaccinated but I also have covid and it spread through my entire family in the past few weeks. That’s why I’m doing the show from home today and I just wonder about the public messaging around vaccinations. Three vaccinated people got covid in my house… are you too casual about the limitations of the vaccine?”
“No-uh…” interjected Fauci.
"If you look at the people who have died from COVID-19, overwhelmingly 90% of them are unvaccinated," says Dr. Fauci. "If you get vaccinated and get a break through infection, you are much less likely of having a severe outcome and much more likely you would be without symptoms." pic.twitter.com/gEFsIjTNWj
