During her White House visit, OliviaRodrigo sat down with Dr. Fauci and read tweets about the importance of getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
reports that vaccine hesitancy declined from 21.6% between Jan. 6-18, to 10.8% from June 23 to July 5, though some states continue to have stubbornly high rates of folks who have declined to get immunized. Among the most hesitant states are Wyoming , West Virginia and North Dakota , which has contributed to 49 out of the 50 states seeing a over the past week due to the highly contagious Delta variant.
Rodrigo got a kick out of one note:"Olivia RodriGO to the vaccine clinic," she said, laughing,"all of the funny puns as long as you're getting vaccinated. That's great, whatever it takes." Some of the notes were about vaccine dreams, Fauci candles and bobbleheads or weepy visits to the clinic."Did anyone else spend their Friday afternoon driving to their second vaccine appointment and crying to Olivia Rodrigo or was that just me?" one fan wondered.
Olivia said she was"so happy" that she was soundtracking someone's vaxx trip. After one tweeter expressed their desire to make a Rodrigo concert their first show back, the singer-songwriter smiled and said,"Get your vaccines. I'm so excited to tour one of these days. And I'm just so excited to go to a concert -- aren't you?"
Fauci promised Rodrigo she would"faint" if he told her his favorite ever concert: a late 1950s Motown revue with the Temptations and the Four Tops at the Paramount Theater in New York."I'm sorry, I'm a really old guy," Fauci said, as Rodrigo had to explain to him what"Man Crush Mondays" means."The sooner all of us get vaccines the sooner we can like hang out with our friends and sing songs and all of the fun things," Rodrigo said.
