Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology with taxpayer dollars, is getting behind Wuhan coronavirus vaccine mandates for interstate travel on domestic flights, trains and other transportation.
"I would support that if you want to get on a plane and travel with other people that you should be vaccinated," Fauci said in an upcoming interview with TheSkimm.
Previously, Fauci said vaccine mandates were unlikely.

Last week, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration wasn't ruling out the possibility of a vaccination requirement for travel. Illegal aliens are exempt. American citizens working for companies employing more than 100 people are not.

Meanwhile, over in Vice President Kamala Harris' office, they're echoing President Biden's argument that they are "protecting the vaccinated."
By vaccinating the unvaccinated, increasing our testing and masking, and protecting the vaccinated, we can end this pandemic. That’s exactly what we are committed to doing.
