Fauci said, "When we see the pushback on this, it's almost as if nothing has ever happened before." It's happening with other vaccines so let's make it happen with a very, very serious virus.
Others opposed the idea. West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice stated that there is "no possibility" that he would make it mandatory.
Justice stated on Sunday's Face The Nation that mandates "only divide us" and "only make us more divided." "From the perspective of mandates I don't believe that we should impose upon our freedoms, over-and-over." "I've repeated it so many times that I don't even know how many times.
He said, "From the perspective of our children, i'm going to continue to encourage in every way, because I believe that the greater the number of people vaccinated, then the more people will live. We still have to be true to ourselves.
