DeSantis Gets Vital History Lesson From Fauci Over 'Completely Incorrect' Vaccine Claim
HuffPost
The nation's top infectious disease expert broke down why the Florida GOP governor's comments on COVID-19 shots were "not true at all."
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, sought to remind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis of the critical role played by vaccines throughout history in response to the Republican’s latest controversial comments about COVID-19 shots. DeSantis ― whose state is currently being ravaged by the highly contagious delta variant of the virus and who has personally battled to ban mask mandates in schools ― on Friday suggested vaccinations are “about your health and whether you want that protection or not” and “really doesn’t impact me or anyone else.” “If he feels that vaccines are not important for people, that they are just important for some people, that’s completely incorrect,” Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day.”More Related News
