House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said, “We cannot require someone to be vaccinated. That’s just not what we can do.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s lead immunologist, says in an interview with C-SPAN, “No, definitely not. You don’t wanna mandate and try and force anyone to take a vaccine. We’ve never done that.”
White House press secretary Jen Psaki is next, saying, “Our interest is very simple from the federal government, which is Americans’ privacy and rights should be protected.”
The next clip features Pelosi (D-Calif.) again, saying, “It is a matter of privacy to know who is or who isn’t” vaccinated.
Fauci is up next again: “We don’t wanna be mandating from the federal government to the general population. It would be unenforceable and not appropriate.”
Following Fauci, the next clip again features Psaki who is asked by a reporter if the administration should be more concerned about vaccinated Americans than those who are unvaccinated as the basis for a mandate. “I think the question here…one, that’s not the role of the federal government.”
Next, Biden — as president-elect — says, “No, I don’t think it should be mandatory. I wouldn’t demand that it be mandatory.”
The supercut ends with a clip from Biden’s address this week in announcing new “vaccination requirements” for private businesses and most federal employees, with the exception of U.S. Postal Service workers, according to the Washington Post.
