Fauci cited some reasons why Americans oppose vaccines, whether it is “ideology” or “fundamentally anti-vaccine or anti-science.”
He said that the country does “have the tools to deal with” the epidemic, and he asked people to “set aside all these differences and realize that the common enemy is the virus.”
Fauci pointed out that the United States is “very lucky” because it “has enough vaccines to vaccinate basically everyone in the country. There are people all over the world who are willing to get a vaccine at all costs.”
The United States has registered more than 605,000 deaths in the pandemic and is the country with the largest number of deaths in the world.
