Dr Anthony Fauci: UK was ‘smart’ to drop herd immunity strategy | LBC

Donald Trump’s leading coronavirus expert Dr Anthony Fauci has told LBC that the UK’s initial herd immunity strategy “didn’t work” and ministers were “smart” to change tack.

In an exclusive interview with LBC’s Tom Swarbrick on Sunday, when asked about the UK’s response, White House Covid-19 adviser Dr Fauci said he is constantly asked that question about the US handling of the crisis, adding: “You could have always done better.”

“It’s very interesting because I get asked that a lot about our response. You could always have done better. I think what the UK did at the beginning they thought they would perhaps go the herd immunity route and let there be infections but that didn’t work. They were smart enough to say wait a minute, we’ve got to reverse our strategy and then I think they did as well as anyone could expect.
