Expert Anthony Fauci has been surrounded by all kinds of controversies since the beginning of this terrible pandemic that managed to change our lives for good. “I would support that,” Dr. Fauci told The Skimm podcast on Friday. He continued and said the following:
The novel coronavirus killed what we used to call normality, and we’re now living under the sign of fear and uncertainty.
US officials have not ruled out a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for air travelers, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Sunday.
Fauci made the comments during an appearance Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” after moderator Chuck Todd asked him about his support for mandates for travel.
“The team has a lot of things on the table. Nothing has been taken off the table,” Fauci, the chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden said. “That decision has not been made.”
The novel coronavirus seems to be here to stay for a while longer. While experts and the general population believed that vaccines and viable treatments would help stop the pandemic, it seems that things are not going that great after all.
Another issue worth mentioning about the pandemic and the efforts to stop it is making Covid-19 vaccines mandatory.
Fauci supports mandatory Covid-19 vaccines
But ABCNews notes that the nation’s top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said he would support mandating the Covid-19 vaccines for air travel.
“I would support that,” Dr. Fauci told The Skimm podcast on Friday. He continued and said the following:
“If you want to get on a plane and travel with other people … you should be vaccinated.”
The same online publication notes that the U.S. Travel Association responded that while they support people getting vaccinated, they have “long maintained that there should be no mandatory vaccination requirement for domestic travel.”
The statement continued and said the following:
“Such a policy would have an unfair, negative impact on families with young children who are not yet eligible to get the vaccine.”
It’s also been revealed that they believe the mask mandate, which has been extended through January 2022, is enough to keep passengers safe — they are pointing to a study conducted by the Department of Defense in partnership with United Airlines.
