It\u2019s on the table, and we consider it,\u201d Fauci continued. \u201cBut that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s going to happen. I doubt if we\u2019re going to see something like that in the reasonably foreseeable future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The remarks from Fauci come as Democrat President Joe Biden has failed to \u201cshut down the virus,\u201d a key promise that he repeatedly touted on the campaign trail last year, with hundreds of thousands of new cases of coronavirus being detected every day.<\/p>\n<p>Fauci was asked about the possibility of using vaccine mandates for air travel during an ABC News interview on Sunday with Jonathan Karl.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no vaccine requirement for domestic air travel in the United States,\u201d Karl said. \u201cAnd when the president was asked should there be one, he said that his team has said it\u2019s not necessary at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you agree with that, that there shouldn\u2019t be a vaccine requirement for domestic air travel?\u201d Karl asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, it depends on what you want to use it for. I mean, vaccine requirements for people coming in from other countries is to prevent newly infected people from getting into the country,\u201d Fauci said. \u201cA vaccine requirement for a person getting on the plane is just another level of getting people to have a mechanism that would spur them to get vaccinated; namely, you can\u2019t get on a plane unless you\u2019re vaccinated, which is just another one of the ways of getting requirements, whatever that might be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I mean, anything that could get people more vaccinated would be welcome. But with regard to the spread of virus in the country, I mean, I think if you look at wearing a mask and the filtration on planes, things are reasonably safe,\u201d Fauci continued. \u201cWe want to make sure people keep their masks on. I think the idea of taking masks off, in my mind, is really not something we should even be considering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAnything that could get people more vaccinated would be welcome,\u201d Dr. Anthony Fauci says when asked by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jonkarl?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jonkarl<\/a> about potential vaccine requirements for domestic air travel. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6NvaxwLg5r\">https:\/\/t.co\/6NvaxwLg5r<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UMiNYMt0Hr\">pic.twitter.com\/UMiNYMt0Hr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ABCPolitics\/status\/1475333481848877057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 27, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
