Fauci: Expect 'a flood' of COVID-19 vaccine mandates after full FDA approval

[634-5789]

As soon as the Food and Drug Administration issues a full approval for a COVID-19 vaccine, there will be "a flood" of vaccine mandates at businesses and schools across the nation, Dr. Anthony Fauci told USA TODAY's editorial board on Friday.

Mandates aren't going to happen at the federal level, but vaccine approval will embolden many groups, he predicted.

"Organizations, enterprises, universities, colleges that have been reluctant to mandate at the local level will feel much more confident," he said.

1. I Hope So

I was in CVS yesterday picking up some prescriptions, and this one dude was at the pharmacy counter talking with the clerk about the vaccine. He said he was afraid of needles, and left without getting it. Another guy was waiting to get his first shot. Once it’s fully approved, it needs to be mandatory!

3. That man should be more afraid of permanent disability or death. NT

4. Yup. I completely agree

In my head, I was screaming at him to just get the damn shot. In reality, I kept my distance.

an endotracheal tube next to an injection syringe.

2. Yes, full FDA aprroval is critical.

Needs to happen ASAP.

5. Once it's "mandatory" the anti-vax . . .

will bitch about "Freedumb".

Yet overall especially in red states they are slowing taking away people's freedoms.

6. Fauci's right

Full FDA approval is the only thing holding up more businesses and governments from instituting mandatory vaccines. There's a segment of the unvaccinated who are also hesitant because the vaccines as still under "emergency use" authorization.
