In September, Fauci appeared on CNN and was asked about an Israeli study that suggested people who have recovered from COVID-19 should get two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine compared to Has got more protection from viruses.
In light of the findings, Fauci was asked how public health officials should try to convince people with natural immunity after becoming infected to be vaccinated.
Fauci said, ‘I don’t really have a concrete answer for you on that.
‘This is something we have to discuss about the sustainability of the reaction.
‘The Israel paper won’t tell you one thing about whether the protection is as high as with natural infection or not, what is the durability compared to the durability of the vaccine.’
“So it’s possible that you got infected, you’re safe, but you can’t be safe indefinitely,” Fauci said.
‘So, I think this is something that we need to sit down and discuss seriously because you have very aptly pointed out, it is an issue and what you said could be an argument.’
Fauci’s remarks are in line with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation that people who have recovered from the virus should still receive a vaccine.
