Yeah, IF conservatives had taken a responsible 'adult' approach to the virus 100,000s of lives could have been saved. IF!! Seeing all the reckless irresponsibility on the conservative side must be very tough for a good man like Fauci. Even worse because of the position he holds. From inside your article

"Entirely avoidable"

Americans who are still dying from Covid-19 are "overwhelmingly" unvaccinated people, Dr. Anthony Fauci told Jake Tapper during an interview ..

"It was a goal and we want to go beyond the goal. If you don't exactly meet it on July 4th, you don't stop, you just keep going. And that's what we're going to do," Dr. Anthony Fauci discusses Biden's vaccination goal ahead of July 4 deadline. pic.twitter.com/r2BZDMHe7h

.. on Tuesday. "The thing that's so painful, Jake, as a physician, a scientist and a public health person that I am, is that that's entirely avoidable."

Fauci's comments came on the heels of news that the US will miss Biden's goal of entering the July Fourth holiday with 70% of adult Americans having had at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine. "Every death from Covid-19 is avoidable and it is a tragedy when it happens," Fauci said.

Fauci added to Tapper that "it is on us" to get those who are hesitant about getting a vaccine because they want more information the information they need to make the decision. Unfortunately, however, there are some who continue to pollute the space with nonsense, pushing people the opposite direction...

What if?

Often when I read stories about vaccine hesitancy, I wonder: What if the forces in right-wing media would have enthusiastically encouraged their audiences to get vaccinated? Where would we be as a country if folks like Tucker Carlson accurately explained the science behind the shots to their viewers? What if, instead of fear mongering, they showed themselves getting the shot, demonstrating their safety? What if Fox News threw its actual full weight behind telling its audience what Rupert Murdoch clearly knows about the vaccines? Would we have hit the 70% mark by now? How many lives might have been saved?
