In an interview on Fox News today, Dr Fauci warns that based on what’s happening in Europe, another Covid surge could come to America. And he wants Trump to step up and allow his Republicans to get vaccinated.
Asked by Chris Wallace what could be done to combat vaccine skepticism in the U.S., particularly among Republicans, Fauci urged Trump to tell his supporters to get vaccinated.
“It would be very helpful for the effort for that to happen. I’m very surprised by the number of Republicans who say they won’t get vaccinated,” he said.
“I think it would make all the difference in the world” if Trump were to express support for vaccines, Fauci said. “He’s a widely popular person among Republicans.”
“I just don’t get it, Chris, why they don’t want to get vaccinated,” he added.
