CDC Director Rochelle Walensky was pressed Friday as to whether she supports or foresees a federal vaccine mandate, as the Biden administration publicly laments continued vaccine hesitancy in parts of the country. Walensky told "Special Report" anchor Bret Baier that she and President Biden are "looking into" whether or not to establish a mandate. It's something that I think we are looking to see approval of from the vaccine," Walensky replied. But, I have nothing further to say on that except that we are looking into those policies." Walensky added that any vaccine mandates currently in place are strictly on the local or corporate level.
