'I mean, they are cheering about someone saying it’s a good thing for people not to try and save their lives,' said Dr. Anthony Fauci. “I just don’t get it.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday it was “horrifying” to see conservatives cheer for low vaccination rates, blaming “ideological rigidity” for hobbling the fight against COVID-19.
“ “It’s horrifying. I mean, they are cheering about someone saying it’s a good thing for people not to try and save their lives.” ”“I think there’s no reason not to get vaccinated. 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.”
A little fewer that half of all Americans, about 48%, are fully vaccinated, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky noted last week that 99% of COVID-19 related deaths in June were among people who were unvaccinated.
