Dr. Fauci finally said it – COVID vaccines might be mandatory for some people

[Andy Meek]

• White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci thinks there are some specific circumstances in which certain people will be required to get the coronavirus vaccine.
• Dr. Fauci said in a new interview that he wouldn't be surprised to see schools, as well as travel-related companies, mandate coronavirus vaccines in the near future.
• According to Bloomberg's vaccine tracker, a little more than 3 million COVID vaccines have been administered in the US as of the time of this writing.

Most of the farewells to 2020 that you've no doubt seen by now, along with all the commentary about how much better 2021 will hopefully be, rely on one major thing coming to fruition this year. On pretty much a global basis, everyone has their fingers crossed that this will be a better year as a direct consequence of the rollout of a coronavirus vaccine to as many people as possible.

Indeed, the vaccines from drug makers like Pfizer and Moderna can't come soon enough for the people who haven't gotten the jab yet. According to calculations from CNBC, the US is recording at least 181,998 new coronavirus cases every day, along with at least 2,313 virus-related deaths, based on a seven-day average of data collected by Johns Hopkins University. However, the same way that much of the US response to the coronavirus pandemic throughout 2020 was a combination of half-baked, misguided, and counterproductive, the rollout of vaccines in the US thus far has been extraordinarily slow. So far, according to Bloomberg's vaccine tracker, a little more than 3 million vaccine doses have been administered in the US. Compare that to the fact that 20 million coronavirus cases have been identified in the US thus far, which helps explain why White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci just made an important prediction about the ongoing vaccination campaign.
