Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed that he believed that American families should consider enforcing a covid-19 vaccine mandate among their own families as they gather to celebrate the holidays.
As Fox News reported:
Fauci made the suggestion during an interview with The Washington Post, recommending families ask their holiday guests about their COVID vaccination status and even potentially require the vaccine before celebrations take place.
This is how families can “enjoy” their holiday traditions in an indoor setting, he said.

“When you get vaccinated, and you have a vaccinated group, and you are in an indoor setting, you can enjoy, as we have traditionally over the years, dinners and gatherings within the home with people who are vaccinated,” Fauci explained.
“And that’s the reason why people should, if they invite people over their home, essentially ask and maybe require that people show evidence that they are vaccinated, or give their honest and good faith word that they have been vaccinated,” he continued.
Fauci went on to cite data which claimed that the vaccinated are at much less risk of hospitalization and death than the unvaccinated to justify his recommendation.
