Fauci explains that getting to 50% should be the goal. \\u201cWhat we\\u2019re hoping is that people who come in with the uptake of a flu vaccine would also come in\\u2026at the same time, the same day\\u2026[get the] COVID [one].

Fauci also reflected on the tense relationship between China and the United States. \\u201cThe more we make accusations and the more we push against them, the more they pull back and in order to be able to have the kind of broad, global surveillance, global cooperation, global collaboration, you\\u2019ve got to have a relationship the way we had before COVID.\\u201d He also acknowledged that the Chinese have been very obtuse and secretive.
