Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday called the COVID-19 pandemic his “worst nightmare,” while warning that the crisis “isn’t over yet.” 

Speaking to biotech executives at a Biotechnology Innovation Organization conference, Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said he was “almost certain” at least one of the COVID-19 vaccines being developed would be a success, the New York Times reported. 

But Fauci also warned that the world is “still at the beginning” of the pandemic. 

“In a period of four months, it has devastated the whole world,” he said. “And it isn’t over yet.”
