The immunology expert was one of the main speakers at the “Congress of the Future”, an event that is organized every year in Chile and brings together experts from around the world to talk about the world’s challenges.
Fauci said he believes it is possible to control the virus “at a certain level, through vaccination” and by the effect “of a population that has already been infected and has sufficient low-level immunity,” the AFP news agency reported.
In this way, it will be possible to learn to live with the coronavirus, “without this posing a threat” to health, hospital systems and the economy, added the expert.
For this, he marked booster vaccines as essential, which generate a notable increase in antibodies.
“We know from studies that the rates of hospitalization, serious illness and death are much lower in those who received the third booster dose compared to those who received only two doses,” Fauci said.
He also added that booster doses “work against Omicron,” the variant “that is currently challenging the world.”
“What’s happening with Omicron in a number of countries is a vertical rise, quite radical compared to the Delta (variant),” Fauci said.
“Keep in mind that South Africa seems to have already peaked and is falling sharply. We are seeing signs of that in other countries like the UK and the US,” he said.
