据CNN报道，当地时间28日，美国国家过敏症和传染病研究所所长安东尼·福奇在澳大利亚墨尔本大学举办的一次线上座谈会中表示，虽然新冠疫苗或将在未来几个月内面世，但在2022年前美国人民的生活都不太可能完全恢复如常了。

“如果在2021年第二、三季度为大部分人接种疫苗，那么可能在2021年末，但也可能到2022年，生活才能开始恢复到和正常差不多的样子”。

"If we get a vaccination campaign, and by the second or third quarter of 2021 we have vaccinated a substantial proportion of the people, I think it will be easily by the end of 2021, and perhaps even into the next year, before we start having some semblances of normality," Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during a University of Melbourne panel, CNN reported Wednesday.



他还指出，美国政治上的分裂和对经济损失的恐慌，影响了美国的现状。如果美国各界严格遵守了经济重启的指导准则，“我们不会是现在这个局面。”

However, Fauci noted that political division and the fear of economic loss has affected how the country is currently doing.

“当我们试图重启经济或者说重启这个国家时……我当时与黛博拉·伯克斯博士（白宫新冠病毒工作组成员）一起制定了指导准则，其实就是阶段一、阶段二——如何循序渐进、安全谨慎的重启美国。如果当时所有人都一致遵守了（准则），我们不会是现在这个局面。”

"When we were trying to open up the economy again, or open up the country … and I was very much involved with Dr. Deborah Birx and putting together these guidelines, which were a gateway of Phase 1, Phase 2 – to tell you how you can gradually safely and prudently open up the country." Fauci said. "If everybody had done that uniformly, I don't think we would be in the position we're in right now."

福奇还感叹，如今在美国连戴口罩“都几乎成为了政治表态”，“这真的非常非常难”。

他表示，作为一名医生、科学家和公共卫生人员，看到美国这样的现状令他心碎，因为“如果生活中有一个方面不应该产生分歧，那就是国民的健康。”



However, it has become "very difficult" when wearing a mask in the United States has "almost become a political statement," said Fauci.

“It depended upon what side of a particular political spectrum you were at which is so painful to me, as a physician and a scientist and a public health person to see such divisiveness centred around a public health issue. I mean, if there's one area of life that there should not be divisiveness is in the health of your nation.”
