, which public health experts, such as Fauci, have said will make it harder to end the pandemic.
"There's no reason not to get vaccinated. Why are we having red states and places in the South, that are very highly ideological in one way, not wanting to get vaccinations? Vaccinations have nothing to do with politics. It's a public health issue," he said. Fauci said he believes there is some hesitancy of vaccine requirements on the local level because the coronavirus vaccines have not yet been fully approved by the FDA, but instead were authorized for emergency use by the agency. “I think when you do see the official approval, Jake, you're going to see a lot more mandates," he said.
"I'm not saying that they should or that they would, but I'm saying you could foresee how an independent entity might say, 'Well, we can't be dealing with you unless we know you're vaccinated,' but it's not going to be mandated from the federal government," Fauci said on the podcast April 5. The Biden administration reiterated this week that it has no plans to issue a federal mandate for schools, businesses or states to require the vaccine.showed that Americans are sharply divided along party lines on whether schools or most private employers should require coronavirus vaccinations, with Democrats supporting a government-issued document certifying their vaccination status, and Republicans opposing the government or most businesses mandating a vaccine passport of any kind.
People need to get vaccinated but I don’t know about mandated shots though. Getting 20% more people to vax shouldn’t require that. The GOP needs to repudiate all anti-vax and hopefully that will persuade enough to do it.
and a blast from the past-My body, My choice
A diseases which only severely affects those 75 plus and they have shots. Really?
There is no constitutional right to pose a threat to others.
Says the guy responsible for their deaths. If he hadn’t supported and financed gain of function they would still be alive.
Dr. Fauci, please keep telling people this. My husband is one of the 600,000+ deaths.
'You local guys take care of it' This is different from the Trump strategy how exactly?
F your mandates Fauci and All.
Delta variant is not a joke!! There should be more mandates. MaskUp DeltaPlusVariant listentoFauci
Opinion-no science, never has been. Fauci should be required to reveal any relation he has with big pharma.
Why the mandates tho? Us fellow Americans are doing fine without them maybe he can try some
It’s either safe or it’s not. Fauci is playing politics with people’s lives. Can’t believe Birx was lambasted and this clown has been praised.
'Vaccinations have nothing to do with politics. It's a public health issue' Fauci For rational people. Me
When it comes to it I am expecting health insurance companies to start denying claims for medical services associated with Covid-19 treatment where the patient is not vaccinated. No vaccine, no coverage. Of course there would be some excusable health based exceptions.
So, local control. States rights. Tell me more.
I'd agree with local mandate strategy IF this was a disease like polio or something. Kids are not affected nearly as much as that. mandate this vaccine? hell no! advise you take it? hell yes!
