White House COVID-19 adviser Anthony Fauci conceded Wednesday morning that COVID-19 vaccines don’t protect “overly well” against the virus.

Speaking during a Fox News interview, Fauci told host Neil Cavuto that “one of the things that’s clear from the data [is] that ... vaccines—because of the high degree of transmissibility of this virus—don’t protect overly well, as it were, against infection.”
