Giroir made these comments during a Fox News interview, after the senior deputy press secretary of the White House Karine Jean-PierreKarine Jean-Pierre Biden Tells Federal Employees: Get Vaccinated or Get Tested Biden Calls on States to Offer 0 Vaccine Incentives The Hill’s 12:30 p.m. report – Presented by Facebook – American gymnast takes gold at eventing as Simone Biles applauds from the PLUS stands noted earlier Friday that the administration was not considering confinement.

The former four-star admiral said more people need to be vaccinated, but if vaccinations continue in their current places, masking inside will be necessary to help control the spread of the virus.

“If people don’t mask themselves and get vaccinated, then unfortunately governments are going to be put in a position to consider shutdowns, which I think would be a disaster,” he warned.

“I don’t think they work, I think they are counterproductive and they are really horrible for our children. The answer is to get vaccinated, ”he continued.

Giroir said that until everyone can get vaccinated, people in high risk situations should wear a mask because “it will protect you and others from infection by you.”

The comments come as officials seek to contain an increase in coronavirus infections fueled by the delta variant of the coronavirus.

Currently, 57.4% of total population received a dose of a coronavirus vaccine, while 49.5% were completely inoculated.

In a separate interview on Fox News’ “America Reports” Thursday, Giroir warned that he was “It’s a question of time”Before all unvaccinated individuals become infected with the delta variant.

“If you haven’t been vaccinated and you’ve never had COVID before, you’ll get the delta variant,” Giroir said. “It’s so contagious you’ll get it. ”
