The u. S. By end of march. All of these mutations, fauci emphasized can be stopped or slowed by increase in vaccinations. Viruses cannot mutate if they dont replicate. The fundamental principle of getting people vaccinated as quickly and as efficiently as you possibly can will always be the best way to prevent the further evolution of any mutant, because when you do that, you prevent replication and replication is essential for mutation. Joining me now to talk about this is primary care doctor, a Public Health special iist. What do you think about 66 effectiveness . Im excited, brianne florida.
