Fauci wants Covid mandate to be rebranded

RT

White House Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said that he can get more Americans to comply with vaccine mandates if they’re rebranded as “requirements.”

Asked by CNBC whether coronavirus vaccine mandates are “counterproductive,” and might make Americans more hesitant to take future vaccines, Fauci said on Friday that dropping the word “mandate” seems to make people more willing to get jabbed.

“Mandates – that’s a radioactive word,” he said. “‘Requirements,’ people seem to respond better to that. They work.” 

Fauci then praised companies like United Airlines for requiring or mandating employees to get vaccinated, and boasted that the federal government’s vaccine mandate has led to a 97% vaccination rate among employees.

In addition to rebranding mandates as the friendlier-sounding “requirements,” Fauci also suggested that the definition of “vaccinated” could be changed from meaning anyone who’s received two doses of Pfizer’s or Moderna’s vaccine, or one dose of Johnson & Johnson’s shot, to someone who has received this initial dose plus a booster shot.

“There’s no doubt if you want to be optimally protected, you should get your booster,” Fauci stated.

Fauci’s shifting positions on vaccines and masking throughout the pandemic have angered conservatives. After initially advising people not to wear masks, Fauci then became a proponent of mask mandates. Likewise Fauci promised Americans last year that ‘herd immunity’ to the coronavirus could be reached if 70% of them got vaccinated, before admitting that this was a lie to boost uptake of the vaccine.

With the new Omicron variant of the virus spreading in the US, Fauci has stuck by vaccination and booster shots as the most effective way of stopping the spread of Covid-19, as President Joe Biden predicts a “winter of death” for the unvaccinated. However, preliminary studies, including one from South Africa where the variant originated and another by Columbia University, show that the current crop of vaccines are markedly less effective against Omicron.

Despite being highly transmissible, data suggests that the Omicron variant causes mild to moderate symptoms in most patients, and is less likely to hospitalize those it infects.

  1. Am I hearing right?!! The bast*rd is lying on the numbers. I bet it’s way more than 50 million who haven’t succumbed to the jab. They keep lowering that number so some will think, “Well, just about everyone is taking it, so I better take it too.” And worse, on the numbers again, he actually says that we have “a virus that’s killed eight hundred thousand Americans.” That’s almost a third of the country!!! Unbelievable that he is getting away with this.

    So, he wants to move the terminology from “mandated” to “REQUIRED.” Call it anything you want, buddy, but people with brains ain’t taking it, and we know what is “REQUIRED” to stop this madness.

    1. “Eight hundred thousand!!!” I still can’t get over it. All weekend thinking, “He actually said that!!!!” “Eight hundred thousand!!!!!”

      His face… I can see the deviousness. His face… it’s becoming more scary, slimy. If he is not the “ARCH” enemy, he is its middle finger.
