Unvaccinated Americans under mounting pressure to get Covid shots | Analysis by StCollinson
Social, moral and political pressure is beginning to build on tens of millions of Americans who decline to take safe, effective vaccines against Covid-19, as even some conservative politicians join the persuasion effort amid a dangerous new wave.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top government infectious diseases expert, bluntly warned on CNN's"State of the Union" Sunday the pandemic is"going in the wrong direction" because 50% of the country is not fully vaccinated. Fauci, one of the world's most respected public health experts, has been demonized by conservative attacks.
While public health guidance suggests that most vaccinated Americans are protected from Covid-19, there are breakthrough infections -- even if almost all of those fully vaccinated will not get seriously ill or die. And children under 12, who cannot yet be vaccinated, are vulnerable -- especially in disease hotspots -- as are immunocompromised people who cannot get the vaccine.
