A large percentage of Republican Party supporters have no plans to get vaccinated, according to a new poll in the United States. Now the country’s infection control expert Anthony Fauci is waiting for help from former President Donald Trump.

Half of all men who identify as Republicans do not intend to get vaccinated, according to a recent survey in the United States.
These are alarming numbers for White House infection control adviser Anthony Fauci.
“That such a large proportion of a certain group of people don’t want to get vaccinated just for political reasons is incomprehensible,” he tells NBC.
The opinion poll was conducted by media companies PBS and NPR, as well as polling company Marist.
Despite being in each other’s hat multiple times during Donald Trump’s time in the White House, Fauci now awaits the former president’s help. He believes that a clear encouragement from Trump to his former voters would have a big effect on their willingness to get vaccinated.
– I think it would have made a big difference. He’s a very popular person, Fauci tells Fox News.
At the conservative CPAC conference a month ago, Trump told the public that they would “go get his syringe.”
On Sunday, Fauci also said that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is considering reducing the distance between people from about two meters to about one meter. This after a study in Massachusetts showed that it does not make a significant difference in the spread of the infection.
“The CDC is well aware that the data collected indicates that one meter is sufficient under certain circumstances,” Fauci told CNN.
A meter away, instead of two, would have a big impact on the possibility of opening schools, getting people back to work and also allowing people to enter sports stadiums.
