Canada's 'Doing Better' on Vaccine Rollout Because of US Political 'Divisiveness' Over Vaccinations [View all]

Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Monday that Canada is doing better than the United States in its vaccination rollout right now because of the political divisiveness in the U.S. over vaccines.

CNN’s Kate Bolduan asked the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director about Canada’s progress in vaccinating their population compared to the United States, recently surpassing the U.S. on percentage of the population that has been completely vaccinated.

Fauci said that Canada’s doing better “not because we trying any less than they are trying,” but because “in Canada you don’t have that divisiveness of people not wanting to get vaccinated, in many respects on the basis of ideology and political persuasion, and that’s something that we’ve been saying for some time now.”

He continued to express concern about vaccines being politicized, saying it “doesn’t make any sense to essentially disregard or don’t pay attention to what’s obvious.”
