“I’m not sure if it would be the worst-case scenario but it’s not going to be good,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “We’re going in the wrong direction.”
Pfizer Inc.’s Covid-19 vaccine was just 39 per cent effective in keeping people from getting infected by the contagious delta variant in Israel in recent weeks, according to Israel’s health ministry, but provided a strong shield against hospitalization and more severe forms of the virus.

Fauci also defended the decisions by Los Angeles and St. Louis to reimpose mask orders regardless of vaccination status. Local governments have the discretion to assess and introduce rules that fit the situation on the ground, he said, adding that the cities’ actions aren’t incompatible to what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending.Article content
