Fauci in 2004: You don’t need a shot if you’ve had the disease
As the nation’s most influential health authority, Dr. Anthony Fauci has insisted during the pandemic that immunity produced by a COVID-19 vaccine is superior to natural immunity derived from an infection.
Many immunologists have pointed out that the claim violates basic science and appears to be motivated by the need to support the political policy of universal vaccination in response to COVID-19.
Now, a clip of a C-SPAN interview with Fauci from 2004 has been unearthed, showing him declaring that a person who got the flu doesn’t need to get a flu shot.
Responding to a question from a viewer who said she had had the flu for 14 days, “Washington Journal” host Peter Slen asked Fauci if she should get the flu shot.
“Well no,” Fauci responded. “If she got the flu for 14 days, she’s as protected as anybody can be, because the best vaccination is to get infected yourself. If she really has the flu, if she really has the flu, she definitely doesn’t need a flu vaccine.”
Slen asked if the woman could contract the flu again.
“She doesn’t need it,” Fauci said of the shot. “The most potent vaccination is getting infected yourself.”- READ MORE
