“I don’t know how many more times you can say to people, ‘Listen, it will save your life,'” she told Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor.
King continued, “I have this problem with some members of my own family, which I’m now going to ban for Thanksgiving vacation. That’s how strongly I’m taking what you’re saying.”
Dr. Fauci appeared on the morning show to emphasize the importance of getting the vaccine. Currently, under half of the U.S. population have been vaccinated.

He also discussed the highly contagious Delta variant.
Fauci told King, “We really need to get more people vaccinated because that’s the solution. This virus will, in fact, be protected against, with the vaccine.”
