You’ll feel a lot better about COVID-19 vaccines when you read this from Dr. Fauci

[Andy Meek]

• White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci debunked a handful of myths related to the coronavirus vaccine in a new interview.
• The myths Dr. Fauci debunked include the erroneous belief that people can contract COVID-19 from the coronavirus vaccine.
• This comes as the US has just set more record highs for coronavirus cases, hospitalizations, as well as deaths from the virus.

By now, it's getting to be an old story and causing news publishers to sound like something of a broken record. But here we are, again, ahead of an important FDA meeting on Thursday to discuss Moderna's coronavirus vaccine candidate -- with an approval of Moderna's request for an emergency use authorization expected to come on Friday -- with the US also having just set another record day in all coronavirus-related metrics -- including cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.

On Wednesday, the US reported more than 247,000 new coronavirus infections, as well as more than 3,600 COVID deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Sadly, those are the highest single-day totals we've seen so far. Moreover, according to The Atlantic's COVID Tracking Project, a record 113,000 people in the US are hospitalized at the moment with coronavirus. All of which only reiterates how vital it is that the current rollout of Pfizer's COVID vaccine, which got underway earlier this week, continues to go smoothly, and the same for Moderna once its rollout begins. Meanwhile, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci has given a new interview which saw him debunk some of the biggest coronavirus vaccine myths out there, and which should definitely make people feel better about taking the vaccine.
