Fauci: ‘I Generally Don’t Get Involved in Blaming People,’ But Maybe Doing So Will Push Them to Get Vaccinated

‘I’m very frustrated’

RUSH EXCERPT:

FAUCI: “Well, I’m very frustrated. I generally don’t like to get involved in blaming people, because I think that would maybe push them back even more rather than — I mean I could totally understand the governor’s frustration. I don’t have any problem with that. She has every right to be frustrated. What I would really like to see is more and more of the leaders in those areas that are not vaccinated to get out and speak out, and encourage people to get vaccinated. I was very heartened to hear people like Steve Scalise come out and say we need to get vaccinated. Even governor Desantis in Florida is saying the same thing. We need to get more people who relate well to the individuals who are not getting vaccinated to get out there and encourage them to get vaccinated as well as the trusted messengers in the community. We’ve just got to do better, Jake, because we have the tools to do this. This is an unnecessary predicament we’re putting ourselves in.”
