WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease expert, said on Sunday he supports COVID-19 vaccine mandates for children attending schools as the highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus continues to fuel a surge in cases in the nation.
"I believe that mandating vaccines for children to appear in school is a good idea," Fauci told CNN’s "State of the Union" program. "We've done this for decades and decades, requiring polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis" vaccinations.
Currently, children under 12 are not eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. But Fauci, in a separate interview on ABC's "This Week" program, said there should be enough data by early October for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to consider whether the shot is safe for children under that age.
"I think there's a reasonable chance" that the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines could get FDA clearance for kids under 12 before the upcoming holiday season, Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical adviser to the White House, said last Tuesday.
As schools re-open for the fall, the rise in coronavirus cases is already causing significant disruptions.
Dozens of schools nationwide have had to delay the start of the school year or shut down since opening in August, according to data from tracking website Burbio https://cai.burbio.com/school-opening-tracker. Its data shows the impact on schools so far has been heaviest in the South, the epicenter of the current surge in cases and where vaccination rates among those already eligible are generally the lowest in the country.
The re-opening of schools is also contributing to a supply shortage of COVID-19 tests in the United States as schools revive surveillance programs that will require tens of millions of tests...

and why would the CDC KNOW exactly what is going to happen?....because its affiliated with the vax....THEY KNOW WHAT IS COMING.
Maybe there will be an explosion of home schooling?
Well, of course he does.
FOLLOW THE MONEY!
We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave them kids alone
Hey! Fauci! Leave them kids alone!
Yes, Herr Doktor.
Well, yeah, but the pharmaceutical industry could use a cash infusion every five months.
Remember, Trump worked hard to lower the price of prescription drugs.
Crap like this could be part of an agreement the Leftists made to get them their money back if Biden was elected.
Gotta kill those kids who slipped past the abortion tables.
There’s gold in them vaccines
This evil shit needs karma to come after him soon. Satan’s mouthpiece.
Who ruled him the top expert?
He should be forced to explain this with facts and figures, not platitudes.
This guy is such a FCKNG LIAR. Those vaccines provide actual IMMUNITY and PREVENT SPREAD. These vaccines DO NOT do either!
“polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis”
He is comparing those diseases to the flu, which is what COVID 19 is, and also has a 99.9 survival rate, unlike those others.
A year ago, I acquired COVID and was sick for a day. I recovered with no problems. It felt like any other flu variant.
I don’t understand what the hysteria is about COVID 19. It’s insane. Unless there is something they’re not telling us.
My wife and I, both in our sixties, had COVID-1984 in January/February of 2020 before it had a name and survived it without doctor visits or drugs, and I have the IgG and IgM antibodies to prove it.
Luckily, we were too dumb to run to a hospital so they could hook us up to ventilators and kill us. It was the worst flu of our lives in terms of crap in our lungs, and it took months to cough it all up, which is key. You have to cough until you are worn out, but you have to get your lungs clear.
Hooking somebody up to a ventilator prevents coughing and the crap continues to accumulate in their lungs until they die. It’s as if they want to kill people.
Stay away from hospitals if you get it and want to live.
And just how much money do you stand to make from vaccinating children, Dr. Fauci?
Sounds like there are some FReepers on here that would back that too.
LOL!
Then a couple of months later, they discover a higher percentage of women who lost their children to miscarriage. Oops!
I detest this man.
Great...and very appropriate...song reference.
