Colorado Governor Jared Polis urged President Biden to change his rhetoric regarding Covid-19 vaccines and noted he thinks a change to the definition of fully vaccinated will change in the near future.
The Daily Wire reports:
“I think it’s really important that our leaders, whether they’re governors or mayors, local influencers, lead with facts rather than fear,” Polis told NBC News host Chuck Todd. “People just don’t react well to this ongoing environment of fear for two years. Let’s lead with the facts. Look, the science-driven information people need to keep themselves safe with the individual freedom and local control that we deserve. That’s where we are at this point. We know how to stop this thing. The – getting three doses of the vaccine is highly effective, and all but negates any risk that you face.”
When asked by Todd if there is going to be a change in “the definition of fully-vaccinated in your state,” Polis responded, “That’s certainly where it’s headed.”
“It looks like from everything that we know that to significantly reduce the risk of the Omicron variant, three doses of the vaccine are needed,” Polis claimed. “It’s three doses of that vaccine to be effective. So, I wish they’d stop talking about it as a booster. It really is a three-dose vaccine, and every piece of data that we’re seeing shows that that’s the case.”
When asked about what he would say to Biden if the president asked him for his advice, Polis responded, “I would say, ‘Stop talking about the vaccine as a booster; talk about it as three doses that are needed for effective prevention.’
The Democrat governor previously shocked people when he said that the Covid-19 emergency is “over.”
