YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on May 12 asked National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci whether recovering COVID-19 patients have immunity to the virus. “We have no evidence that survivors of coronavirus don’t have immunity and a great deal of evidence to suggest that they do,” argued Paul. Dr. Fauci said “you can make a reasonable assumption” that patients who recover from the coronavirus will have antibodies that indicate some degree of protection, but only long-term natural history studies will be able to confirm for sure that this is the case.
Leading U.S. health officials on Tuesday appeared before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions to answer questions about safely reopening schools and workplaces. In addition to Dr. Fauci, Centers on Disease Control and Prevention Direct Robert Redfield, Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Stephen Hahn and Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services for Health Adm. Brett Giroir also spoke before the committee.
