White House Supports Vaccine Mandates Pushed by Local Leaders
Wendell Husebø 12 Jul 2021
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday President Joe Biden would support vaccine mandates if they are implemented by local governments.
“Does President Biden agree with Dr. Fauci that at the local level there should be more vaccine mandates?”, a Fox News reporter asked White House press secretary Jen Psaki, supplementing his question with a quote from Dr. Anthony Fauci, who said, “I remain of that opinion, that I do believe at the local level, there should be more mandates. There really should be.”
Psaki answered that the federal government is not in charge of local government vaccine mandates, but if a municipality decides to burdens their residents with mandates, the White House would support them.
“That is not our intention from the federal government.” she said, but if local governments “decide to make that [mandate] decision, we support them in that step.”
The Fox News reporter then pointed to March 11, when Biden said to “listen to Dr. Fauci” in all aspects of coronavirus vaccines.
“Is he [Biden] saying don’t listen to Dr. Fauci?” Fox News reporter pressed.
