Summary

As the coronavirus vaccine rollout continues across the nation, Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are promising a surge of vaccine doses, but new Covid variants in the U.S. are raising more concerns about how effective the vaccine will be against the new strains. On The Fox News Rundown this week, host Jessica Rosenthal spoke to Dr. Marty Makary, professor of surgery and health policy at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Fox News contributor, about the new strains and if the vaccines can combat them. Dr. Marty Makary also weighs in on what life in America will be like in a few months as we approach herd immunity and whether mask mandates and other restrictions will still be necessary. The conversation with Dr. Makary was too long and we could not include all of it in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear his entire take on the threat the Covid variants pose and if our vaccines will be effective. Learn more about your ad choices.
