Between vaccination and prior infection, many Americans now have some antibodies to the virus, Fauci said.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, said Tuesday that the United States is out of the “pandemic phase” of COVID-19.
“Namely, we don't have 900,000 new infections a day and tens and tens and tens of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands of deaths. We are at a low level right now,” Fauci said. “So, if you're saying, are we out of the pandemic phase in this country, we are. What we hope to do, I don't believe — and I have spoken about this widely — we're not going to eradicate this virus.
As of Tuesday, nearly 70% of those ages 5 and up are fully vaccinated, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC also noted that an estimated 58% of Americans had been infected with COVID-19 by February, based on research released by the agency on Tuesday.
