Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said Sunday that he is concerned about the potential dangers to public health if the administration’s vaccine mandate for businesses is blocked for good.
“I think it would be a setback for public health. What we know very clearly is that when people get vaccinated – and the more people who get vaccinated the quicker we’re able to bring this pandemic to an end — the more lives that we can ultimately save,” Murthy told host Chris Wallace during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”
He added that vaccine requirements “work remarkably well,” and that some businesses will still require their employees to be vaccinated even without a federal mandate.
