Fauci also told ABC's George Stephanopoulos during his Mother's Day appearance that he hopes the virus situation will be drastically different by next Mother's Day.

Currently, nearly 35 percent of the adult US population has been fully vaccinated against Covid, and about 46 percent of the population has received at least one dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.
Owens is, apparently, not one of those people.
