Fauci blames 'ideological rigidity' for political divide in vaccination debate: 'I just don't get it'
Fox News ^ | 11 July 2021 | Peter Aitken

Dr. Anthony Fauci has blamed "ideological rigidity" as a deterrent to vaccination efforts in the face of the rising threat of more virulent COVID-19 variants.

Just under half of all eligible Americans have received full vaccinations against the coronavirus, but the Delta and Lambda variants threaten that progress. The Biden administration has continued to urge Americans to receive the shots as soon as possible, but in some states the demand for vaccines has fallen, even with ample supplies now available.

Fauci has blamed politics for deterring an otherwise successful vaccination effort, with the majority of U.S. states and territories having administered at or above 75% of their first vaccine doses, according to the CDC.

"I mean, it’s ideological rigidity," Fauci said on CNN’s "State of the Union." "I think 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."

Fauci also labeled scenes from this weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) "horrifying" when participants cheered following a comment that the government was not able to achieve 90% vaccinations.

"It’s horrifying," Fauci said. "I mean, they are cheering about someone saying it’s a good thing for people not to try and save their lives."

Dr. Fauci, you are stupid if you don’t see it. The government has been lying to us continually for 5 years. The media has been helping.

Why should we believe anything you say?

people do have their own mind and it has nothing to do with politics in this case. Fauci is just trying to spin things to support HIS view...which must be the ONLY view.

You're right you don't get it, FauXi. It is your ideological rigidity that is the problem.

No intelligent person would rush to be injected with a substance that was rushed to market with no long-range testing, nor would any intelligent person, or government, attempt to impose such a substance upon an entire population within a short span of time when the consequences of any unforeseen calamity regarding such substance might conceivably result in genocide.

The point in that cartoon is often overlooked.

If someone has a bad reaction to the vaccine (I won’t use the word “rare” but I admit the non-reactions outweigh the reactions), they are SOL. Mounting medical bills, job loss, confined to a wheelchair, a colostomy bag, you pay for all of it and deal with all of it. The manufacturer is free and clear from liability, and the government and media are basically denying that adverse reactions even exist.

Before the usual faction chimes in, I understand that I could have all of that from covid. I can’t control whether I get covid (other than slimming down and taking zinc, vit. d., etc.) but I can control whether I take the vaccine.

It really has little to do with politics in my view. It is risk assessment. I will not criticize those who take the vaccine and I won’t critice those who don’t. If only that was a common attitude.
