“It’s Almost Inexplicable”: Fauci Complains About Americans’ Opposition to Forced Masking, Vaccination and How Much It Bothers Him
???@COVID19Up: Dr. Fauci complained during a talk last Tuesday (August 9) that many Americans see forced masking policies as a violation of their liberties.
During the talk, Fauci vented about Americans' aversion to both forced masking and receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. He characterized individuals' concerns with such policies as "inexplicable."
"When you tell people they need to mask in an indoor congregate setting when you're in a zone that has a high dynamic of infection—that is looked upon by a lot of people, not everybody, as an encroachment on your freedom," Fauci remarked.
"We've never had that before," he added. "It's almost inexplicable."
Prior to his comments on mask mandates, Fauci lamented that most people haven't received a COVID-19 mRNA booster injection.
"You have people who don't want to get vaccinated for any of a variety of reasons, ranging from pure anti-vax to just because we're telling them to get vaccinated," Fauci said. "We're in a very difficult situation."
He continued: "We have 67% of our population vaccinated. Of those, one half are boosted. That means a third of the people in the country are vaccinated and properly boosted. How could that possibly be when you have a disease that's killed one million Americans and you have a hesitancy to use a life-saving intervention, which is a vaccine and a booster?"
"It seems like—what world are we living in?" a baffled Fauci wondered.
