Dr. Anthony Fauci said Monday he supported mandating Covid-19 vaccines for school-aged children while lamenting that his position would be “taken out of context.”

“Would you support schools mandating the Covid vaccine for kids?” MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson asked Fauci in an afternoon interview.

“You know, that’s an interesting question,” Fauci said. “I know there’s a lot of pushback against mandates, but I think we are in such an emergency situation with the 150,000 cases that we’re having each day … we need to put it into the context of what has gone on prior to Covid-19.”
