Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former Director of the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), claimed the effectiveness of coronavirus vaccines is a “complicated issue” when he testified before lawmakers on Capitol Hill on Monday. This was the first time Fauci has testified publicly since retiring at the end of 2022. The former Chief Medical Adviser to Joe Biden was grilled by members of the House Oversight Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic regarding a range of subjects relating to the origins of COVID-19 and the government response.
Leading off the congressional hearing, Select Committee Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) pressed Fauci on the vaccines’ effectiveness, highlighting that they did not entirely prevent virus transmission as initially anticipated.
“Did the COVID vaccine stop transmission of the virus?” Wenstrup inquired.
“That is a complicated issue,” Fauci began, acknowledging that the initial formulation of the vaccines had some impact. “Not 100 percent, not a high effect,” he admitted, elaborating that the vaccines “did prevent infection and subsequently, obviously transmission” to a certain extent.
