WASHINGTON, July 30 (Reuters) - U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said on Friday there will be no nationwide mandate for Americans to get a COVID-19 vaccine, clarifying comments she made earlier during a televised interview.
"To clarify: There will be no nationwide mandate. I was referring to mandates by private institutions and portions of the federal government," Walensky wrote in a Twitter post. "There will be no federal mandate."
Earlier on Friday, when asked by a Fox News Channel interviewer, "Are you for mandating a vaccine on a federal level," Walensky said: "That's something that I think the administration is looking into."
Could be part of the distancing plan to scapegoat the vax. It started a few days ago when Biden finally gave Trump credit for the vax. Then the following day there were several news stories about how the vax spread is just as bad, or how vax people are getting just as wrecked as non vaxed to the Delta variant.
They are setting that stage just in case they can’t get away with vaccine mandates, or people start being severely affected healthwise by the vaccine.
