Dr. Fauci Chooses Between Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson Vaccines on ‘Colbert’

On the one-year anniversary of the last pre-Covid lockdown Late Show, Dr. Anthony Fauci visited with Stephen Colbert Friday to discuss America’s path back to “normal.” During the interview, the host asked Fauci to pick his favorite between the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines.

“I would pick the one that was the most readily available to me,” Fauci said.

“All three of them are highly efficacious. They have different characteristics: Cold storage, one dose versus two doses, but if I walked into a clinic and I wanted to get vaccinated and someone said, ‘You can have this vaccine now, or wait a few weeks for the next one,’ the important thing is to get vaccinated as quickly as you can in order to protect yourself, your family, and the community.”



The immunologist added, “So I don’t have any favorite. I happened to take Moderna, because at the clinic at the NIH [National Institutes of Health] where I am, that was the one they shipped to us, but if they shipped another, I would have readily taken that.”



Colbert then joked, mocking the conspiracy theorists, “Do you know which one most effectively delivers Bill Gates’ brain-controlling microchip?”........................
