White House COVID-19 update: Fauci says vaccine mandate unnecessary
UPI ^ | Feb. 3 , 2021 | Clyde Hughes

Two leaders of President Joe Biden's coronavirus response team on Wednesday downplayed the idea of of requiring Americans to take any of the approved COVID-19 vaccines.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, both said at a White House briefing on Wednesday that it's too early to consider such a mandate..

Walensky said 32 million people in the United States have already received one of the two available vaccines, and predicted that many more will follow.

Fauci added that there aren't enough doses of either vaccine yet to require inoculations for everyone. He also said he doesn't think a mandate will be necessary...

Walensky and Fauci are top members of Biden's White House COVID-19 Response Team, which gives public updates on the federal response about three times a week.

Both were noncommittal when asked whether it's safer for Americans to wear two masks when they're in public.

Fauci said that science, so far, is inconclusive about whether two masks are better than one and added that he doesn't expect a federal recommendation for Americans to double up...

Walensky said the CDC is "actively looking into" the question, but noted that most people become infected because they don't wear a mask, at all.

White House coronavirus coordinator Jeff Zients said at Wednesday's briefing that the administration has decided to open community vaccination sites in California, at the Oakland Coliseum in the San Francisco Bay Area and the campus of California State University in Los Angeles.

Coronavirus cases have risen across the state in recent weeks and months.

Zients said the plans are part of the administration's aim to establish community vaccination centers nationwide to make inoculation convenient and efficient. He also said mobile vaccination units are coming soon.

Playing political favorites with their friends in California to bail out Gov Newsom from recall. Democrats are the worst.

Bullcrap. Does anyone trust a single word out of this toad’s mouth?

This is a lull tactic. They are all for mandated vaccines. They want conflict.

What a lie.

Most of the people infected were the ones who stayed home, cowering in fear and doing the masks and gloves routine.

It didn’t work.

The best things are to wash your hands and keep them off your face.

And avoid nursing homes in certain states.

On vaccine mandates, FauXi is like the stopped analog clock...on the rest, he’s like a bonfire from a bunghole.

Reality check.

COVID-19 is airborne.

That means, “in the air, everywhere”.

It is ENDEMIC.

We will ALL get exposed..over and over.
MANY of us will “test positive”, mostly without symptoms.
SOME of us will be “symptomatic”, and a subset will be really sick.
And (unfortunately) a FEW of us will die.

This is NOT the Bubonic plague.
This is NOT the Spanish Influenza.

Tear off that face diaper.
Breathe deeply. Inhale some COVID.
Build up your immune system.
And LIVE!

Yeah, right. Show us the PROOF!

When you look at the data, you see that 1) there is no difference in infection rates between draconian states and more lax states with respect to lock-downs and mask mandates and 2) in many places, much higher infection rates followed mask mandates (yeah, correlation is not causation but there sure is a lot of correlation).

“in the air, everywhere”

Not anywhere close to true. The air is clean and COVID-free everywhere except within a few feet of somebody who is sick or indoors where HVAC can spread those nasty virions.
