Basically that he thinks the SA variant is more worrisome than the UK variant, and that it's not proven to be here yet. But that he's confident that the existing vaccines will still be effective against them but perhaps with reduced efficacy. Believes 100 million vaccinations in 100 days is realistic. Will be completely open and transparent. Science and evidence-based.

Thanks for posting. Some good information there from Fauci.
Hopefully the vaccines we have will continue to show a high degree of efficacy. If not, at least we can quickly tweak the mRNA vaccines. I'd imagine that would be bad news for vaccines that aren't of the mRNA platform though. |

Yeah, it was decent. Slap him down as another person who has no idea why were vaccinating slower than expected. A little frustrating, tbh. How are we supposed to fix the issue if noone can point out the issue consistently?

It didn't. The recent release was a reminder, not new information.

If you actually take the time to read the actual source: https://www.who.int/news/item/20-01-...-users-2020-05 Product type: Nucleic acid testing (NAT) technologies that use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection of SARS-CoV-2 Date: 13 January 2021 WHO-identifier: 2020/5, version 2 Target audience: laboratory professionals and users of IVDs. Purpose of this notice: clarify information previously provided by WHO. This notice supersedes WHO Information Notice for In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device (IVD) Users 2020/05 version 1, issued 14 December 2020. Description of the problem: WHO requests users to follow the instructions for use (IFU) when interpreting results for specimens tested using PCR methodology. Users of IVDs must read and follow the IFU carefully to determine if manual adjustment of the PCR positivity threshold is recommended by the manufacturer. WHO guidance Diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 states that careful interpretation of weak positive results is needed (1). The cycle threshold (Ct) needed to detect virus is inversely proportional to the patient’s viral load. Where test results do not correspond with the clinical presentation, a new specimen should be taken and retested using the same or different NAT technology. WHO reminds IVD users that disease prevalence alters the predictive value of test results; as disease prevalence decreases, the risk of false positive increases (2). This means that the probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with SARS-CoV-2 decreases as prevalence decreases, irrespective of the claimed specificity. That's how, bro.
