Dr. Fauci is saying that he expects approval of the third Covid vaccine in about 2 weeks, this being the single dose J&J vaccine. He didn't say this part, but I'd also expect the AstraZeneca vaccine getting pretty close to U.S. approval. It's been approved in the UK for a while now and reportedly much of the rest of Europe is a few days away from approval.
Those approvals would be very significant because Operation Warp Speed has been contracted with both of those companies for many months now to receive significant amounts of vaccine doses from them once they are approved. From what I've read I also understand that the manufacture of both of those vaccines is easier to ramp up than that of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. (And no, I don't know how the effectiveness of those two vaccines compares with the two already approved. It's probably out there on the web somewhere.)
Separately, the much revered Dr. Fauci turns out to be the most highly paid federal employee of all receiving a salary of well over $400K in 2019 (last year for which data was available) and higher than even the President of the United States. That according to Forbes Magazine.
