Dr. Anthony Fauci has advised Americans that they may wish to prohibit unvaccinated relatives from visiting them during the holiday season, according to the CDC.
On Tuesday, Fauci spoke on “The Beat with Ari Melber” on MSNBC to talk about holiday plans for people who are infected with the widely distributed Omicron strain of the coronavirus.
Within the month of December, the Omicron variant of COVID-19 has advanced to the position of being the most prevalent variety in the United States, with instances increasing in a number of places.
Dr. Anthony Fauci has advised Americans that they may wish to prohibit unvaccinated relatives from visiting them during the holiday season, according to the CDC.
On Wednesday, Fauci also recommended that even those who have been immunized against the Omicron form may wish to avoid holiday parties due to the virus.
During a press briefing with the White House COVID-19 task team, Fauci encouraged everyone, including those who had already been vaccinated and boosted, to “avoid” big groups of 30-50 people and to “be vigilant.”
This is the type of function that you do not want to be involved in, particularly in the context of COVID and particularly in the context of omicron, according to Fauci. “
Fauci has been roundly criticized for continuing to advocate for restrictions on freedoms during the coronavirus epidemic, especially for those who have been immunized against the virus.
Earlier in December, he recommended that families could impose their own vaccine mandates on any parties they might be attending.
As a result, when inviting guests to their house, “people should essentially ask and perhaps require that guests produce proof of vaccination, or give their honest and good faith word that they have been vaccinated,” Fauci explained.
