Greg Nash/Pool via AP Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, recently called for local governments to issue vaccination mandates.
During an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Fauci discussed the fact that many Americans remain unvaccinated. After arguing that “there’s no reason not to get vaccinated,” he said: Why are we having red states and places in the South that are very highly ideological in one way not wanting to get vaccinations? Vaccinations have nothing to do with politics. It’s a public health issue. It doesn’t matter who you are. He continued, insisting that “the virus doesn’t know whether you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent” and that the debate over the matter “is really unfortunate because it’s losing lives.”
Tapper brought up the suggestion by several in the media that the government mandate vaccinations. He asked Fauci if he would approve of such a measure. The doctor responded: I have been of this opinion, and I remain of that opinion, that I do believe, at the local level, Jake, there should be more mandates. There really should be. We’re talking about a life-and-death situation. We have lost 600,000 Americans already, and we’re still losing more people. He continued: One of the things that will happen — and I think the hesitancy at the local level of doing mandates is because the vaccines have not been officially fully approved. But people need to understand that the amount of data right now that shows a high degree of effectiveness and a high degree of safety is more than we have ever seen with emergency use authorization. Fauci also asserted that the vaccinations “are as good as officially approved with all the I’s dotted and the T’s crossed.”
Despite declaring that it would see 70% of Americans vaccinated by July 4, the Biden administration has failed to meet its objective. The president’s team has indicated it would support local governments in mandating vaccines. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated there would be no federal action to require people to accept the injection.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
