Most media reports of that interview state that the word he used was COULD not WILL. Others omit “all” and merely say “widely available”. The Boston Globe summary states “Dr Anthony Fauci tells CNN’s Jake Tapper that a coronavirus vaccine COULD BE available to all Americans by April 2021”.

Re: Are we near to having a vaccine and returning to Thailand?
I think these vaccines will take a long time to distribute. And nobody knows, yet, exactly how effective they're going to be in terms of duration, and how well they stop the spreading. We shall see.
But the other issue that worries me, is that when borders finally open, there's going to be an almighty scrum of tourists heading for places like Thailand. This will be all the people who missed out on that holiday they were planning before March (like me, and most of the people on this forum).
They will find everything is a lot more expensive than they were expecting, because a lot of restaurants, hotels, bars, whatever, will have folded for good during the Pandemic. There will be a lack of supply, of all the things you usually need for a tourist economy.

Is that what you’re experiencing in Australia now things are opening up - more expensive airfares, scarcity of bars, cafes etc. and significantly higher prices at those that have re-opened? Specific examples would be really helpful.

It’s a level playing field. Both the Russian and Chinese vaccine manufacturers are free to apply for licensing any time they like.
