Fauci Warns Strengthening Anti-Vaccine Movement May Lead to “Tragic and Avoidable” Outbreaks Among Children
Dr. Anthony Fauci has issued a dire warning about anti-vaccine movement in the US: if children don’t get immunized, it could lead to future outbreaks of disease.
The White House’s top medical adviser told The Financial Times that anti-vaccine attitudes “might spill over into that kind of negative attitude towards childhood vaccinations, which would be very tragic.”
“If you fall back on vaccines against common vaccine-preventable childhood diseases, that’s where you wind up getting avoidable and unnecessary outbreaks,” he said.
Fauci also told the publication that Congress was blocking billions dollars of funding that would otherwise have been used to combat the pandemic, and noted that some states were not promoting COVID-19 vaccination as a priority issue.
He called on US health officials to ramp up their efforts to counter misinformation on social media and to work on building the public’s trust, recommending that state government and Congress work together to support those efforts.
