Fauci praises GOP encouraging vaccines: ‘A very good thing’
Anthony Fauci said Republicans who are now encouraging Americans to get vaccinated are doing “a very good thing” to help stop the spread of COVID-19 as well as misinformation about vaccines.
In an interview with The Hill, Fauci said he was glad to hear some top GOP leaders be more outspoken in recent days about the importance of receiving a life-saving vaccine. The top immunologist was especially pleased by House Minority Whip Steve Scalise’s (R-La.) new remarks. Scalise revealed that he got his initial dose of Pfizer this past weekend, citing an uptick in cases linked to the delta variant. He called the shot “safe and effective.” |
