“This Week” co-anchor Jonathan Karl asked Fauci on ABC if the approval of the antiviral treatment could make taking the COVID-19 vaccine unnecessary.

“Oh, absolutely not. That’s such a false narrative that someone says, ‘Well now you have a drug.’ Remember, the easiest way to stay out of the hospital, and not die, is don’t get infected,” Fauci told Karl.

“I mean this idea about ‘We have a drug, don’t get vaccinated,’ just doesn’t make any sense,” Fauci added.
