I just saw a video of Fauci on CNN with Elizabeth Cohen at 8:15 PM EST.

I am completely computer illiterate so I can't show you. I hope someone can bring it up. It looks like it was last night. One of the things that were brought up was a vaccine. He is hoping that they might have a vaccine by the end of this year or the beginning of next year. The problem he brought up is he hopes it would be 70-75% effective. Then they talked about how many people would get the vaccine and that was 70-75%. That would mean that only 162,190,000 to 186,187,500 people would be helped by the vaccine. If anyone wants to give me a quick course on putting up a video, I would appreciate it.

3. "That would mean that only 162,190,000 to 186,187,500 people would be helped by the vaccine."

Not exactly. If EVERYBODY gets the vaccine, and it works for 75%, we are all greatly helped. That is high enough to give herd immunity. The catch is, you have to get everybody to take the vaccine.

5. Even Fauci thinks that only 70-75% will take the vaccine.

That's the problem. If only 75% take it, it had better work for over 90% of the people that do. This is, of course, if there is a vaccine. This is a novel coronavirus. There is still a lot they don't know about it.

4. I am not a medical professional, but would that mean anyone who got the vaccine was protected?
