Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, said Tuesday he doesn’t see the U.S. mandating a COVID-19 vaccine.

“I don't think you'll ever see a mandating of vaccine particularly for the general public,” Fauci said during a livestreamed interview with Healthline.

Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, noted that some workplaces, particularly those in health care fields, might prevent employees from coming to work or interacting with patients if they haven’t been vaccinated for the flu.

If herd immunity sets in at 15-20%, then the vaccine will squash the virus quickly anyway as long as it is distributed widely. We really don’t know the herd immunity threshold, but I heard it suggested that it was surprisingly low for COVID-19.

Along with Biden’s mask laws, there will be checkpoints at every road crossing state lines, where you will have to show your vaccination papers to continue. The masks will be still be required long after we forget all about Covid-19 and polling booths...

At first it was fun laughing at the daily pronouncements spewed forth by Dr. Midget, but now it has become tiresome ... and the boy is still spewing ...

in Australia. this morning, we were told the so-called Conservative Prime Minister had plans for a mandatory covid vaccine:

Coronavirus live news: global cases pass 22m as Australia PM says vaccine will be mandatory
Guardian - 19 Aug 2020

COVID vaccine likely to be mandatory in Australia, (PM)Scott Morrison says after signing deal with Oxford University
ABC - 19 Aug 2020

by early evening, it was:

19 Aug: New Daily Australia: ‘It is not going to be compulsory’: Morrison flip-flops ‘mandatory’ vaccine push
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has walked back his comments on the coronavirus vaccine being as “mandatory as you could possibly make it” just hours after making the initial claims.

On Wednesday morning, Mr Morrison took to radio stations and TV programs across the country on Wednesday morning to spruik his government’s agreement with drug maker AstraZeneca that it hopes will make the British manufacturer’s COVID-19 vaccine available for free to Australians, if it is approved for human use.
“I would expect it to be as mandatory as you could possibly make it,” he told Melbourne radio station 3AW.
“There are always exemptions for any vaccine on medical grounds, but that should be the only basis.

But by 5pm, the Prime Minister has changed tact and said on Sydney radio station 2GB “it is not going to be compulsory to have the vaccine”.
“What we want to achieve is as much vaccination as we possibly can.”...
At least 90 per cent of the population would need to be immunised against the coronavirus for a vaccine to be effective...
“I was the minister that established ‘No jab, no play’, so my view on this is pretty clear,” he said.

Parents who do not immunise their children risk losing family tax payments and access to childcare subsidies.

Later on Wednesday, 3AW’s Facebook page was flooded with comments opposing the vaccination.
“This is Australia, a democracy county (sic), you can’t make people have it,” wrote one follower.
“Who is he to say what we put into our bodies? How do I know what will happen to my kids in a few years time if they have the vaccine? Not going to risk it, sorry,” wrote another.
“So Australians will be the human trials?” wrote a third. “I research and look for reviews on all products I buy or consume. There will be no data on this vaccine because of the fast-tracking to be first. Will not be forced into guinea pig status so he can make a dollar.”

All of the 12 deaths confirmed on Wednesday were linked to aged care (in Victoria). They were five men and seven women, aged from their 70s to their 90s...
https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/coronavirus/2020/08/19/covid-mandatory-vaccine/

whether or not there were more than 12 deaths in total for all Australia today, who would know. the obsession is with cases, and I can’t be bothered searching further.

19 Aug: ABC Australia: Scott Morrison walks back mandatory coronavirus vaccination comments
By political reporters Jordan Hayne and Jane Norman
But just hours later, Mr Morrison told listeners on Sydney radio station 2GB that the Government would not make vaccination mandatory for anybody.
“It’s not going to be compulsory to have the vaccine,” he said.
“There are no mechanisms for compulsory … I mean, we can’t hold someone down and make them take it.”...

Mr Morrison said the Government would take measures to “encourage” people to be vaccinated...
“There will be a lot of encouragement and measures to get [a] high rate of acceptance.
“What we want to achieve is as much vaccination as we possibly can, should the vaccine actually prove successful.”...

It is understood the Government hopes to have a more formal agreement with AstraZeneca in place within coming days, once a local manufacturer is locked down.
Australian biotech giant CSL is the frontrunner for local production of the vaccine...

AstraZeneca Australia’s Liz Chatwin acknowledged Australian scientists had never made the particular type of vaccine before.
“This is an adenovirus vector vaccine, so it hasn’t ever been produced in Australia,” she said.
“This is a massive scale-up activity. We haven’t done it before.”
Sources say securing a contract with AstraZeneca is one thing, but manufacturing it is another...
Labor (Opposition Party) today criticised the agreement with AstraZeneca as too small a step and lacking in detail...

I guarantee you very few of the Australian public knows nothing about the following legislation:

3 March: ABC Australia: Australians could be detained or forced into treatment to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Here’s how
By political reporter Matthew Doran
To do so would mean activating rarely used Commonwealth laws that were introduced in 2015.
The laws allowing people to be detained or forced to seek treatment are outlined in the Biosecurity Act 2015, allowing the nation’s director of biosecurity (who is also the chief medical officer) to put in place strict control measures.

Attorney-General Christian Porter said any orders would have to be “the most effective and least invasive means” of dealing with the situation, and be considered “justified and reasonable in all the circumstances”.
At the most extreme end of the spectrum, someone either showing symptoms of, or having been exposed to coronavirus, could be detained and forced to undergo treatment or decontamination if they refused to comply with directions from health authorities...

A person could be hit with a control order which would include a range of measures, including:
.quarantining at home
.wearing protective equipment such as gowns or masks
.undergoing examination by health professionals
.giving samples for diagnosis
.forcing vaccinations or other treatments

Fauci: We shouldn’t abandon public health measures even with a vaccine
Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease specialist, said it would “take a while” to build up a cumulative immunity in the population, so public health measures such as wearing face masks shouldn’t be abandoned even once a vaccine is approved.

Wait an hour. He tends to make substantive errors in everything he declares.

Chances are he periodically takes HCQ and Zinc because he considers himself too important.

The way I see it is that the vaccine isn’t as effective or as long-lasting as initially believed. Even Fauci himself said you would have to get a new one annually.

Exactly. Follow the money, always.

Reporters apparently forgot that ten minutes after Nixon resigned because Fauci has not been asked ONE DAMNED QUESTION about his personal financial stakes in any of this throughout the entire pandemic.

Great question for the next time Jim Jordan has him in the witness chair.

“Dr. Fauci, I hold here a specimen bottle. Would you be willing to give us a urine sample right now to be tested for HCQ?”
