Biden’s medical advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci warned that the US would face a tough winter if the vaccination rate is not increased by a significant margin. Moreover, he said, “You know, if we don’t get people vaccinated who need to be vaccinated, and we get that conflating with an influenza season, we could have a dark, bad winter.”

    Just like many other people, Shaq had his doubts regarding the vaccine. However, when the vaccine was not available, he lost a few of his close family members to COVID. Moreover, he thinks people should feel lucky about the availability of the COVID vaccine as many diseases like HIV don’t have a vaccine yet. Furthermore, he said, “HIV had been around a long time, there’s no cure for that. Cancer has been around a long time with no cure for that. You come up with this in a year-and-a-half.

Many students travel from Ireland to the US every year for studies and other reasons. President’s medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci revealed that travel from Ireland is safe. He said, “I think the combination of the fact that it will be in November, and there will be a requirement for vaccination and testing, that it will be safe for people in Ireland to travel to the United States. I believe our Irish friends and colleagues who come from Ireland to the United States with vaccination and testing can have a safe visit.”

    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Opposes Vaccine Mandates

    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is the latest GOP Governor to oppose the vaccine mandate in the US. Biden’s order giving freedom to private companies to issue vaccine mandates for its employees has not gone down well with DeSantis. He revealed how many vaccinated people are also against such mandates as it steps on the personal freedom of Americans. Moreover, he said, “There’s also people that you look … they, a lot of their … you have a certain class of people that are vaccinated. They took it, they wanted to do it, but they object to these mandates as well. And they believe that it should be their own choice, and they don’t want other people to be kind of coerced into doing it.”

    Vaccine Mandate Destroying People’ Trust In Public Health, Says Ron DeSantis

    DeSantis thinks forcing people to take the vaccine is not the way forward to tackle this virus. As per him, people’s trust in public health is going down due to such mandates. Therefore, it is necessary to stop such kinds of mandates. Furthermore, he said, “So I think the coercion is just totally wrong. I think it’s destroying trust in public health, to the extent that there was still trust left over after all the stuff that’s been done. But I think it’s really, really negative.”

    Mask Mandate In Schools By Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf Causes Divide

    Almost a month ago, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf issued a mask mandate for schools. The students and staff members were asked to wear the mask in all circumstances during school hours. Schools shut down during the pandemic and it is still risky to open it as the cases are rising in the US. However, Governor Wolf decided to take the risk, like most of the Governors but also issued a mask mandate. It has caused a divide among the people as many feel that the mask mandate is an infringement on the freedom of people.

    Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf To Keep The Mask Mandate Till School Students Vaccinated

    The only way to combat the spread of the virus is through vaccination. At present, the US has allowed students above the age of 12 to get vaccinated with Pfizer. However, still, a large population of students has not taken the vaccine. There is a big possibility that schools can become a breeding ground for the spread of virus and mask mandate is the only way to contain it. Governor Tom Wolf made it clear that the mask mandate would remain in place till students above the age of 12 get vaccinated. Moreover, he said, “We have a problem here. And as soon as kids under 12 can get the vaccine, that’s gonna continue to be our strategy: the vaccine. Right now, we don’t have that.”

    Dr. Anthony Fauci Thinks Israel Right About Booster Shots

    Booster shots have become a topic of discussion in the US. The FDA recently approved booster shots for people falling in certain brackets. However, it has not been approved for all Americans yet. President’s medical advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci thinks the booster shots would be eventually approved for everyone. Israel is one nation that has already started the process of administering booster shots for everyone. Fauci is of the strong belief that Israel is on the right path. Moreover, he said, “I think ultimately there will be enough data to show that Israel is doing the right thing.”

    People Should Fight The Virus And Not Each Other, Says Fauci

    In the US, there is still a large chunk of the population that has not taken a single dose of vaccine. Vaccine mandates have become a political debate and Fauci thinks people are forgetting that the common enemy is the virus. The lack of vaccination can hurt the US and people stepping forward to take the vaccine is one of the only ways to fight the virus. Furthermore, Fauci said, “I see the end of it if we all pull together and recognize that the enemy is the virus and not each other. We are all in this together. It is unacceptable that in a country such as ours that we still have 70 million people who are eligible to be vaccinated who have not yet gotten vaccinated.”

    Governor Gavin Newsom Announces Vaccine Mandate For School Students

    Governor Gavin Newsom recently announced that the students in California schools will have to mandatorily take the COVID vaccine. California has become the first state to announce a vaccine mandate for school children. The mandate will come into effect as soon as FDA gives it full approval for each grade span (7-12, K-6). Furthermore, Newsom said, “The state already requires that students are vaccinated against viruses that cause measles, mumps, and rubella – there’s no reason why we wouldn’t do the same for COVID-19.”

    Vaccine Mandate Implemented For Protection Of Kids

    Many people will argue that the vaccine mandate has come a little ahead of time for students. Moreover, vaccine mandate in itself is controversial as people skeptical about the vaccine are forced to take it. Newsom justified the decision and said that his administration is only aiming to bring measures that would ensure the protection of students against the virus. He said, “Today’s measure, just like our first-in-the-nation school masking and staff vaccination requirements, is about protecting our children and school staff, and keeping them in the classroom.”
