The outside experts argued that the boosters should be restricted to only those at high risk from COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>Biden was joined on the call along with White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, White House policy adviser Cameron Webb, and the heads of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As Politico reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20\">\n<p><em>The Sept. 27 call was originally planned for the week before. The White House abruptly rescheduled it after the CDC\u2019s independent vaccine advisory committee recommended that the Pfizer-BioNTech booster be reserved for high-risk groups, including the elderly.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The rescheduled call was the tensest one to date, according to the three people with information on the talks. Fauci argued that the CDC committee\u2019s stance \u2014 that science did not support giving boosters to all adults \u2014 was incorrect. And he dismissed suggestions that the administration had to choose between a broad U.S. booster campaign and donating vaccines to countries in need.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The president\u2019s chief medical adviser also told the outside experts that boosters could, and should, be given widely to reduce the spread of the coronavirus rather than only to prevent severe disease or death.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fauci\u2019s comments reportedly left the independent experts confused as to what the White House wanted to accomplish with the vaccines. \u201cIt was very tense,\u201d one person said, according to Politico. \u201cMore than anything, it was like Fauci felt he needed to make a point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fauci\u2019s comments on the call echo recent public statements he has made seemingly pushing the vaccine as a way to stop the spread of COVID-19 entirely, not just limit severe cases of the illness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is an assumption that it\u2019s okay to get infected and get mild and moderate disease, as long as you don\u2019t wind up in the hospital and die. I have to be open and honest: I reject that,\u201d Fauci <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheAtlantic\/status\/1442935759036579842\">said<\/a> last week during an appearance at The Atlantic Festival. \u201cI think we should be preventing people from getting sick from COVID even if they don\u2019t wind up in the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Fauci <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/fauci-slammed-after-declaring-its-just-too-soon-to-tell-if-people-can-gather-for-christmas\">claimed<\/a> that it is \u201ctoo soon to tell\u201d whether families should gather for Christmas because of the risk of COVID-19. He later walked those comments back, claiming that his words were \u201cmisrepresented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just too soon to tell,\u201d Fauci during an appearance on CBS News. \u201cWe\u2019ve just got to [be] concentrating on continuing to get those numbers down and not try to jump ahead by weeks or months and say what we\u2019re going to do at a particular time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After receiving backlash over his Christmas comments, Fauci <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/now\/fauci-walks-back-comments-canceling-204800633.html\">said<\/a> on Monday: \u201cI will be spending Christmas with my family. I encourage people, particularly the vaccinated people who are protected, to have a good, normal Christmas with your family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
