Dr Fauci DEFENDS right not to get vaccinated after Chris Cuomo demands to know why federal government hasn’t made vaccine passports mandatory
Dr Anthony Fauci told Chris Cuomo mandatory vaccine passports would ‘discriminate’ against people by forcing them to get vaccinated
Fauci said: ‘I don’t know the answer,’ when pressed on why states and private organizations - such as colleges - were being allowed to impose passports
Fauci’s comments came as he admitted the CDC’s guidance has been confused
Fully-vaccinated Americans no longer have to wear face masks
Cuomo and others have questioned how it’s possible to know whether someone going bare-faced has been vaccinated
America’s most senior COVID-19 expert has defended people’s right not to get a COVID-19 shot after being asked why vaccination passports are not mandatory.
Appearing on Chris Cuomo’s CNN show Wednesday, White House Chief Medical Advisor Dr Anthony Fauci argued with Cuomo when grilled about why the federal government wasn’t introducing a nationwide ‘passport’ as proof of vaccination.
Fauci, who also serves as the Director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said: ‘I don’t have the answer... It’s a complex reason. And one of them is that if you, in fact, to require a passport, you’re going to be discriminating against people and putting people at a disadvantage of essentially forcing them in many respects to get vaccinated.’
Cuomo countered by asking Fauci why people who choose not to get vaccinated should get ‘opportunities’ - such as removing face masks and ignoring social distancing rules - recently afforded to people who have been vaccinated.
‘What the administration is saying is that they’re not going to mandate a passport for vaccines centrally,’ Fauci said, noting that organizations - such as some colleges - are already requiring proof of vaccination.
But Cuomo pressed again, questioning why the federal government should leave it to organizations to decide when they have the resources to roll out a vaccine passport program. President Biden has previously said he has no plans to try and impose a federal vaccine passport mandate over privacy concerns.
Word salad again from flip-flop Fauci; he’s trying to get away from the rule about “items under EUA can’t be made mandatory”.
