ie - remove Fauci and Walensky as the spokesman for the effort as they are not trusted by the people who need convincing.
No penalty, loss of job or status, or anything else…..just give us better salesmen. Take them out of the limelight. These people were also intimately involved in the idea of the mandate, and the public also mistrusts those who have already tried to force things upon them. (Fauci even suggested excluding family members over the holidays).
We need less division. The stick failed. If Dems honestly want more people vaccinated, they would go along with this. Any arguments that “it won’t work” or obstinate clinging to their High Sparrow will simply confirm suspicion that this was all about control and politics rather than about public health for the Dems.
