President Joe Biden’s top medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said there should be more COVID-19 vaccine mandates at the local level.
“I have been of this opinion, and I remain of that opinion, that I do believe at the local level, Jake, there should be more mandates,” Fauci, who has become perhaps the federal government’s public face regarding its COVID-19 response, told CNN on Sunday in reference to vaccine mandates. “There really should be. We’re talking about [a] life-and-death situation. We’ve lost 600,000 Americans already, and we’re still losing more people.” Fauci then said that if the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fully approves the COVID-19 shots, it would trigger “a lot more mandates” at the local level. Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, did not elaborate on what he believed a vaccine mandate should look like at the local level.
“I think the hesitancy at the local level of doing mandates is because the vaccines have not been officially, fully approved, but people need to understand that the amount of data right now that shows a high degree of effectiveness and a high degree of safety is more than we’ve ever seen with emergency use authorization,” he added.
According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 48 percent of Americans have been fully vaccinated while 55 percent have received at least one dose.
At the same time, federal health officials have increasingly started issuing warnings about the “Delta” variant that they have said is more contagious, although it’s not clear whether it’s more deadly. The Delta variant has already sparked more lockdowns in Australia, Malaysia, Israel, Vietnam, and other countries.
In recent weeks, Fauci has come under fire after thousands of his emails were published online following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. When the emails were posted online, critics noted that he appeared to have had knowledge about the theory that the virus may have emerged from the secretive Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.
That spurred calls from Republican lawmakers, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), to call for his ouster and argued that he repeatedly misled the public.
“I know the American people don’t have trust in Dr. Fauci,” McCarthy said during an interview with Breitbart News on June 5. “Let’s find a person we can trust. Take politics aside. I mean, we’re talking about American lives here.”
COVID-19 is the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
...the best thing FauXi could do would be STFU.
The USA needs Aphoney Fauxci retirement Mandate.
Anyone coming at me with a needle will get a pill in return.
McCarthy always a day late and a dollar short. Why is he waiting until now to put pressure on others on both sides to get rid of him? He should be in jail at the least for his culpability
We need more Fauci being dragged through the streets by his shoelaces!
Worldometer says that 27 people in the US died from Covid today. What's that, about one in 12 million?
How many people died today on the VAERS list?
I think the good doctor deserves more dignified treatment than that. Think “Benito Mussolini”.
Dr. Fascist can phu cough!
[[warnings about the “Delta” variant that they have said is more contagious, although it’s not clear whether it’s more deadly.]]
Not clear- it’s been going around for how long now and they don’t know if it’s more deadly or not? Enough people have had it and survived to know whether it is or not-
Fauci, you Fascist F**k, you seriously need to STFU.
Based on the latest VAERS data 9,048 have died through July 2nd and that was a 23 percent jump from the week before.
Given the emerging stories about his financial connections to the jab efforts, and his lying and flip flopping, he should be fired!
I
Did Fauci get up on the wrong side of the bed?
I call Fauci “Mini-Mengele”
The Fauci Flu is pretty much run its course.
His fifteen minutes of fame should have ended with “fifteen days to flatten the curve”!
Someone should tell FauXi that. Just hearing his name has become irritating.
He’ll get up on whichever side of the bed that gets him face time in the media
I think the good doctor deserves more dignified treatment than that. Think “Benito Mussolini”.
There’s hundreds of lampposts in the DC area that would work well.
