Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says that the White House always said that the general public receiving booster shots was contingent on the FDA’s decision.

The decision made was based on there not being enough data to show that original vaccinations were waning among generally healthy young people.
