Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Sunday that he believes that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) could give full approval for COVID-19 vaccines by the end of the month. This could spur some non-vaccine people more amenable to getting vaccinated, slowing down the rapidly growing rate of infection. Fauci also warned in his “Meet the Press” interview that although the delta variant is troublesome, a new variant may emerge which would make the pandemic even more problematic and longer lived. It could also cause more businesses to decide to require employees to get vaccinated or find another job. There are now more than 44K Americans in the hospital with COVID-19, up 30% from just a week ago, according to Johns Hopkins University.
