Fauci says U.S. should 'seriously' consider vaccine requirement for domestic flights amid Omicron surgePresident Biden's chief medical adviser says it could be 'another incentive to get more people vaccinated.' ReportsDaNews Makes sense…can’t exactly social distance at 36k in the air Just stop!! It doesn’t stop the spread. I believe it can mitigate the symptoms. But there is no stopping the spread. Do you not realize there are events where everyone is vaccinated and they’re still having Covid outbreaks afterwards. Fauci is a sham. corruption in running wild in America to the point we don't feel like politicians can be brought to justice because the corruption is so ferrous. but the date is coming when these politicians will be brought to justice for the corruption they have allowed in this great nation.
