20 September 2020For Christmas 2021, perhaps it will be the beginning of a return to true normalcy, and it depends first of all on vaccines.

This was explained by the chief immunologist of the US task force anticovid Anthony Fauci in an interview with the newspaper La Repubblica.

Fauci believes that - to fight the new coronairus - we can get vaccines that are effective even at 70-75%: "it will not protect everyone but the majority and so the virus will not have the opportunity to defend itself", he explains.

Italy, adds the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is now on the test bench, the restart must be gradual.

"I have no doubts: we will do it. And we will do it thanks to a combination of safe and effective vaccines and adequate health policies."

Everything "depends on a number of factors. First of all, the vaccine and its effectiveness: we will have it quickly and it will be distributed in the course of 2021.

So:" if people continue to behave appropriately and are vaccinated, from here to one year we will begin to be out of it.

Maybe not entirely, not all over the world: but this cannot happen for four years. "

Can we hope for a normality for Christmas 2021?" I hope so.

There is no guarantee.

But there are many vaccines being tested all over the world.

Eventually, a safe and effective one will be there.

So, yes: I hope that by Christmas 2021 we will be able to return to some form of normalcy. "But, warns President Trump's chief advisor on Covid," I do not think "that we will be completely covered by the virus once vaccinated:" there are many vaccines that protect 95-97%, such as measles which is one of the most effective.

But I doubt we'll ever be able to develop such an effective vaccine against covid-19.

I hope so, but I would be satisfied if we had a 70-75% effective vaccine or so.

It won't protect everyone, but it will protect the majority.

And so the virus will not have the opportunity to spread "

The things to do while waiting are:" wear masks, everyone.

Keep a safe distance of 180 centimeters or more.

Avoid gatherings of any kind.

Try to do everything outdoors.

And wash your hands as often as possible ". And for our country the test is now:" Italy must be careful - he observes - the restart of activities must be cautious and gradual ".
