Colorado Democratic Governor Jared Polis said on Sunday that President Joe Biden needed to change the way that he talks about vaccines and that the definition of “fully-vaccinated” is likely to be changed in the near future.
“I think it’s really important that our leaders, whether they’re governors or mayors, local influencers, lead with facts rather than fear,” Polis told NBC News host Chuck Todd. “People just don’t react well to this ongoing environment of fear for two years. Let’s lead with the facts. Look, the science-driven information people need to keep themselves safe with the individual freedom and local control that we deserve. That’s where we are at this point. We know how to stop this thing. The – getting three doses of the vaccine is highly effective, and all but negates any risk that you face.”
When asked by Todd if there is going to be a change in “the definition of fully-vaccinated in your state,” Polis responded, “That’s certainly where it’s headed.”
“It looks like from everything that we know that to significantly reduce the risk of the Omicron variant, three doses of the vaccine are needed,” Polis claimed. “It’s three doses of that vaccine to be effective. So, I wish they’d stop talking about it as a booster. It really is a three-dose vaccine, and every piece of data that we’re seeing shows that that’s the case.”
When asked about what he would say to Biden if the president asked him for his advice, Polis responded, “I would say, ‘Stop talking about the vaccine as a booster; talk about it as three doses that are needed for effective prevention.’”
“People who’ve gotten those three doses in our Colorado data, which is similar to the national data, are 47 times less likely to die than people that are unvaccinated,” he continued. “It essentially negates the risk. Nothing is risk-free in life, Chuck, but you can go about, if you’re boosted, you can feel very confident that if you get COVID, it’ll be a minor case. I’d also say we need to focus on prices, increases in prices and cost that people across the country are facing. People are frustrated their Thanksgiving turkey cost 50% more, gas is $3.80 a gallon. Let’s show some relief. In Colorado, it’s cutting vehicle registration fees, it’s making it free to start a business. We’re trying to – we’ve cut taxes twice. So these kinds of things that show that we’re doing what we can to make sure that families can get by and thrive.”
