The U.S. is in an “unnecessary predicament” of soaring Covid-19 cases fueled by unvaccinated Americans and the delta variant, Dr. Fauci says.
“We’re going in the wrong direction,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, describing himself as “very frustrated.”
He noted that some local jurisdictions where infection rates are surging, such as Los Angeles County, are already calling on individuals toregardless of vaccination status. Fauci said those local rules are compatible with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendation that the vaccinated do not need to wear masks in public.
“This is an issue predominantly among the unvaccinated, which is the reason why we’re out there, practically pleading with the unvaccinated people to go out and get vaccinated,” Fauci said.
