In a livestreamed interview with an online health
information website, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said he doesn’t foresee the government
mandating the COVID-19 vaccine.
People have a right to refuse a vaccine, Fauci added: “You
cannot force someone to take a vaccine."
However, just because he doesn’t think the government will
mandate it, that doesn’t employers won’t implement their own mandates as a
condition of coming back to work or becoming employed with them, Fauci
suggested.
Examples of workers this might apply to include those who
work in the health care fields or schools.
