President Joe Biden’s top medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said there should be more COVID-19 vaccine mandates at the local level.

“I have been of this opinion, and I remain of that opinion, that I do believe at the local level, Jake, there should be more mandates,“ Fauci, who has become perhaps the federal government’s public face regarding its COVID-19 response, told CNN on Sunday in reference to vaccine mandates. ”There really should be. We’re talking about [a] life-and-death situation. We’ve lost 600,000 Americans already, and we’re still losing more people.”
