Anthony Fauci said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that he supports essential workers having vaccine mandates given the pandemic.

Anchor Chris Wallace said, “In a number of question places, police, pilots, health workers, are threatening job action if vaccine mandates are enforced.” He added, “When we are talking about essential workers maybe going off the job, like half a police force, should local officials and corporate executives back off enforcing these mandates?”

To which Faurci responded, “Well, Chris, I am not comfortable telling people what they should do under normal circumstances, but we are not in normal circumstances right now.”
