Original Note:
This video from 2004 is taken out of context. Dr. Fauci is talking about a less lethal influenza infection, not COVID-19. In present times, there's more peer reviewed evidence one should get an annual influenza vaccination compared to being infected with the flu. https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2022/dr-anthony-fauci-natural-immunity-2004-cspan/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/04/11/fact-check-fauci-vaccine-comments-taken-out-context/9492795002/ https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-coronavirus-usa/fact-check-faucis-2004-comments-do-not-contradict-his-pandemic-stance-idUSL2N2W90PR
