"They can say, 'If you want to come to this college or this university, you've got to get vaccinated. If you want to work in this plant, you have to get vaccinated. If you want to work in this enterprise, you've got to get vaccinated. If you want to work in this hospital, you've got to get vaccinated.'"

Let me just go ahead and get vaccinated.'", the Department of Health projects the state's children's hospitals are on pace to be completely full by the end of next week. Because in the current political environment that won't happen, Fauci said masks are the next best thing. Schools are crucial for children's mental health and intellectual, physical and social development, so it's important they stay open.
