Dr. Anthony Fauci: Mandating the COVID-19 vaccine for students is a 'good idea' and 'would not be something new'

Dr. Anthony Fauci was on CNN’s “State of the Union” this morning where he told Jake Tapper that “mandating vaccines for children to appear in school is a good idea” and “We have done this for decades and decades, requiring polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis. So this would not be something new”:

Dr. Fauci to @jaketapper on @CNN: "I believe that mandating vaccines for children to appear in school is a good idea… We have done this for decades and decades, requiring polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis. So this would not be something new."
