Dr. Fauci, Again
Last year prior to the release of a Covid-19 vaccine Dr. Fauci was asked if he would support a vaccine mandate once it was available to the public.
“No, definitely not,” Fauci said. “You don’t want to mandate and try to force anyone to take the vaccine, we’ve never done that. You can mandate for certain groups of people, like healthcare workers, but for the general population you can’t. Now here at our own hospital, at the NIH, we get influenza vaccines and if you refuse for no good reason other than you just don’t want to take it. Then we don’t allow you to see patients on the wards during influenza season. So, that’s a mandate. But, we don’t want to be mandating from the federal government to the general population, it would be unenforceable and inappropriate.”
