Fauci: Vaccination of Children in California Is ‘Sound Judgment’ from Newsom

EXCERPT:

BASH: "So, how do you, though, tell somebody that their faith doesn't -- if they say, this is my faith, and it doesn't fall into that traditional religion?"
FAUCI: "Yes."
BASH: "And then, on the flip side, how do you kind of tell whether or not that's just an excuse?"
FAUCI: "Yes.No, Dana, that that's going to be very difficult. I would hope that people would understand that all of this is for their benefit, for the safety of themselves, their family and their societal responsibility. Other situations locally have dealt with that. There was a situation back in California years ago, when Governor Jerry Brown was the governor, and he said no religious exemptions because of the fact that it was being abused. I'm not sure how it's going to roll out. I just would encourage people to realize the importance of this to get this outbreak under control. The idea of getting vaccinated, for example, getting children in school vaccinated, which has gone right now with Governor Newsom in California, things like that are not new. I mean, there are school situations where I know my own children had to get vaccinated..."
BASH: "Yes.'
FAUCI: "... with a variety of vaccines in order to be able to go to school."
BASH: And real quick...
FAUCI: "So, there's nothing new about that."
BASH: "... should other states follow California's lead and require kids to get vaccinated for the coronavirus to go to school?"
FAUCI: "You know, I'm not going to be recommending things to other states. I will let the leaders of those states."
BASH: "OK."
FAUCI: "But I think what the governor did in California was something that was sound judgment."
