Now it has really become “a pandemic among the unvaccinated,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said.
“If you look at the inflection of the curve of new cases and, as you said in the run-in to this interview, that it is among the unvaccinated. And since we have 50 percent of the country is not fully vaccinated, that’s a problem,”. Now it has really become “a pandemic among the unvaccinated” and that’s why “we’re out there, practically pleading with the unvaccinated people to go out and get vaccinated.
” Fauci went on to note it was particularly important for local leaders to push people to get vaccinated. “What I would really like to see is more and more of the leaders in those areas that are not vaccinating to get out and speak out and encourage people to get vaccinated,” Fauci said. He also said that a booster shot “might likely” happen and the priority would be the most vulnerable, including transplant and cancer patients.
