"Death rates are starting up again," NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins said of COVID-19 cases. "We ought to be thinking of every possible intervention.”
A top U.S. health official on Sunday called for the implementation of additional vaccine mandates nationwide, pointing to the surge of COVID-19 cases in recent weeks. National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins said during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” that the mandates would make a difference in the fight against COVID-19, despite grumblings from Republicans and far-right activists who claim such measures infringe on their rights. Collins said the government “ought to use every public health tool that we can when people are dying” when asked if it was time for more vaccine mandates.More Related News
