Face the Nation, July 25, 2021
Vice Admiral Dr. Jerome Adams, the former surgeon general of the United States, said Sunday that the coronavirus pandemic is "spiraling out of control" again because too few people are vaccinated.
In an interview with "Face the Nation," Adams urged those who have yet to receive their coronavirus vaccines to do so, as the highly contagious Delta variant continues to sweep across the country and leaves some governors pleading with unvaccinated residents to get their shots.
"There's also real harm to you because, guess what?
More mitigation is coming, whether it's masking or whether it's closures or whether it's your kids having to return to virtual learning, that is coming," Adams said on "Face the Nation," speaking to unvaccinated Americans.

We still have no clear timetable on when we can expect FDA licensure of these vaccines for adults. And a lot of people say that that is still causing their hesitancy, number one," he said. "But number two,
I can tell you the quickest way to get people vaccinated is through mandates. And we can't have mask mandates. We won't — you're hearing this from the military and from other businesses until you have full licensure of these vaccines. So if you want to get a bunch of people vaccinated, really quickly, get the vaccines licensed and then you'll see the military make it mandatory. You'll see businesses make it mandatory."
