Fauci on Vaccine Mandates: It Is a Very Unusual Time in Our History and We Have To Do Unusual Things

EXCERPT:

FAUCI: “And that’s why you also hear me talking about what I think is our obligation to play a major role with other major countries in getting vaccines to low and middle-income countries, because even though we can be relatively well protected in this country if you get the overwhelming majority of people vaccinated, you don’t want to have a mutation and a variant from another country with all the travel that goes on get to the United States. We have the tools to stop this. That’s the thing that’s so painful and frustrating. We have 615,000 or more people in this country that died from this. We have to take this seriously. So when you hear people saying, 'I don’t really want to be told to get vaccinated,' you know, I can understand the need for people’s personal liberties, but this is a very unusual time in our history and that’s the reason why we have to do unusual things. That means use whatever means possible to get people vaccinated."
