National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci expressed some exasperation with the American public, saying it’s about time more people get vaccinated. The Medical Advisor to the President appeared on CNN Tuesday to say “enough is enough.”
This comes after the U.S. became the first country to officially approve the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for everyone 16 years old and older Monday. It is currently the only vaccine fully licensed by the Food and Drug Administration.
“I respect people’s freedom, but when you’re talking about a public health crisis . . . Enough is enough,” Fauci told Host Anderson Cooper. “We’ve just got to get people vaccinated.”
Earlier, former President Trump was booed at a rally for making similar comments. Trump appeared in a rally in Alabama Sunday.
“I believe totally in your freedoms, I do, you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do,” Trump said. “But I recommend that you take the vaccines.” As a result, few in the crowd booed him.

Breaking Friday, Florida’s Board of Medicine and state Board of Osteopathic Medicine voted to ban puberty blockers and sex-reassignment surgery for minors in the state.
“The chief point of agreement among all of the experts — and I must emphasize this — is that there is a pressing need for additional, high-quality clinical research,” said the board of medicine’s chair, Dr. David A. Diamond, a radiation oncologist.
More than 70 percent of children with gender dysphoria “typically outgrow” it, City Journal reported earlier this year.
National Review reports:
The board of medicine voted 6-3, with five others not present, on Friday to forbid doctors from prescribing puberty blockers and hormones or performing surgeries until a patient is 18. Exceptions will be made for children who are already receiving the treatment.
The Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine also voted to ban the use of puberty blockers and sex-reassignment surgery in new patients who are minors but allowed an exception for children enrolled in clinical studies.
Florida is also one of at least nine states that prohibits Medicaid coverage of gender-transition services.
