Fox News host Will Cain accused Fauci of being 'power drunk' and called for the infectious diseases expert to be fired.
"No, what I said, Jim, was that everything that comes up as a possibility, we put it on the table and we consider it. That does not mean that it is going to be likely to happen," Fauci replied.
"Right now, I don't think people should expect that we're going to have a requirement in domestic flights for people to be vaccinated," he went on."When I was asked that question, I gave an honest answer. It's on the table, and we consider it, but that doesn't mean it's gonna happen. I doubt if we're gonna see something like that in the reasonably foreseeable future.
When Acosta pressed him on the issue, Fauci said he was keeping things"open for consideration." Acosta asked Fauci if he was the only White House official in favor of a vaccine mandate for air passengers and he appeared to reject the premise of the question. "No, let's clarify that, Jim. I said that is something that's open for consideration. It's not a question of being in favor of it or not," Fauci said.. If the situation arise[s] where that's something we think should be important to do, we'll do it. Right now, that's not going to be done. But we never take anything off the table. We always keep things open for consideration," he said.
