SPIN DOCTOR: Biden’s top doc insists ‘the pandemic is not over.’
When asked about these comments, Fauci clarified that he actually does not believe the pandemic is over.
"I want to clarify one thing," Fauci said."I probably should have said the acute component of the pandemic phase. And I understand how that can lead to some misinterpretation. I was talking about the acute fomenting phase, and everyone agrees we’re not there. We’re not getting 900,000 new infections a day."
"Is the pandemic still here? Absolutely," Fauci said."So when I said phase, I probably should have said the acute stage of the pandemic phase. We’re now transitioning, not there yet, but transitioning to more of an endemicity where the level of infections is low enough that people are starting to learn to live with the virus still protecting themselves by vaccination, by the availability of antivirals, by testing. So I really meant the acute phase as opposed to pandemic.
