Dr. Anthony Fauci and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser got roundly rejected🧸 when they went door to door pitching the COVID-19 vaccine at the height of the pandemic, newly uneaඣrthed video shows.

A clip from the upcoming episode of PBS’ “American Masters” series shows Fauci, 82, and the Democratic ma🐲yor making the rounds in the Anacostia neighbor😼hood in June 2021, .

At the time, he was the director of ܫthe National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

“They’re sort of the disenfranchised group that we’ve got to reach out to,” , referring to the residents of thജe hiღstorically black neighborhood where vaccination rates were low.

One man greeted the🐓 ꧒duo with a heavy dose of skepticism.

“So, I’m not going to be lining up taking a shot on a vaccination for something that wasn’t clear in the first place,” he tells the top doc and Bowser.

“Nine monওths is definitely not enough for nobody to be taking no vaccination that you all came up with,” he♔ says when Fauci tells him how long it took to develop the jab.

Bowser tries to allay his concerns.

“The only reason I’m talking to you right now, as close as we are, is that I’ve been vaccinated,” she says. “If thousands of people like you don’t get vaccinated, you’re going to let this virus continue to percolate in this country and in this world.”

He interjects: “Something like the common flu, then, right?”

Fauci explains that the technology to develop the vaccine had been in the works for two decades, adding that some 30💟,000 people died from the flu in 2020 compared to the roughly 600,000 deaths from COVID-19 as of the time of the video.

But the man bru𝄹shes him off, sa🧸ying: “Again, that’s you all’s number.”

He remains unconvinced a🐲nd expresses misgivings about various incentives that were offered at the time to people who agreed to be vaccinဣated.

“When you start talking about paying people to get vaccinated, when you start talking about incentivizing things to get people vaccinated, it’s something else going on with that,” he says.

“Your campaign is about fear. It’s about inciting fear in people. You all attack people with fear. That’s what this pandemic is — it’s a fear, it’s fear, this pandemic. That’s all it is,” the man adds before Fauci and Bowser walk away.

Later, a woman tells them: “I heard that [the vaccine] doesn’t cure it, and it doesn’t stop you from getting it.”

Fauci tries to correct her.

“No, on the very, very, very rare chance that you do get it even if you’re vaccinated, it’s a very — you don’t even feel sick. It’s like you don’t even know you got infected. It’s very, very good at protecting you,” he says.

At least⛎ 60,000 DC residents contract🦩ed COVID-19 despite getting the shot, according to the city’s website.

When Bowser asks Fauci about states that had not mandated the vaccine, he say🐷s those states would simply allow the outbrea🍌k to go unchecked.

“What are we going to do about those othﷺer states?” 𒈔she says.

“Oh my God, they’re going to keep the outbreak smoldering in the country,” Fauci replies.

“It’s so crazy. I mean, they’re not doing it because they say they don’t want to do it. They’re Republicans. They don’t like to be told what to do. And we got to break that, unpack that,” he adds.

Not everyone had the same reaction ♏to the pair that day.

Oไne woma🐽n becomes emotional when she saw the doctor.

“Oh my God, Dr. Fauci!” she exclaims.

Another woman says she has alread𝔉y been vaccinated “because I felt I need to be a solution and not part of🏅 the problem.”

The teaser clip went viral on social media and elicited🦹 a wide range ofඣ responses.

“Fauci got d🦹estroyed. I can’t believe they actually let this footage s💞ee the light of day,” .

“Oh my gosh this video. Fauci and Mayor Bowser go 🔯to Anacostia to track down the unvaccinated,” .

A : “Watch as Anth꧑ony Fauci and DC Mayor Muriel Bo൩wser get condemned by a regular American for fearmongering about COVID.”

Fauci, who also was the White House chief medical a✱dviser, retired in December.

Despite the US Energy Department’s recent conclusion that COVID-19 likely leaked from a Chinese lab, Fꦗauci, who has long denied the lab leak theory, has maintained “we may never know” the origin of the dꦰisease.

In the months after the pandemic began, Fauci had discounted the theory that the virus had emanated from the Wuhan꧋ Institute of Virology.

The 82-year-old now said he was still keeping a “completely open mind” on the origin of the virus, while explaining how a lab leak still could be considered a “natural occurrence.”

“A lab leak could be that someone was out in the wild, maybe looking for different types of viruses in bats, got infected, went into a lab and was🅠 being studied in the lab and then came out of the lab,” Fauci told CNN.

Fauci pointed out that intelligence agencies aren’t aligned on the lab leak theory and have not arrived at a definitive answ🅷er on what cause♕d the pandemic.

The PBS series episode, titled “Dr. Fauci visits D.C. to Battle Vaccine Hesitancy,” premieres at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
