commit to vaccinating 70% of the world s population against covid, sources tell cnn, and an ambitious goal. he faces criticism globally about the booster plan as his administration prepares to administer shots while other prepares to administer third shots while other nations have yet to provide their first to some of their citizens. on friday, he will host a first ever in person leader summit with the leaders of australia, india and japan, as he stares down again that conflict with france. all of this international activity, though, is happening here in america comes as his administration is looking to get a jump-start as you said, christi, as you said, boris, on their domestic issues, really looking to find some common ground between the moderates and the progressives of the democratic party to come together on president biden s proposed $3.5 trillion social spending bill as this administration is really, really looking for a political win this
averaging about 150,000 cases a day, we just don t have the data to confidently say in which groups the vaccine is starting to wane. you know, we don t have the data, vaccine-specific data. we don t have necessarily a lot of the specific age data, and for that reason, the fda panel today relied on a group of israeli experts because they do have the data. so i m hoping that over the next few months, the cdc will get their act together and really accrue a solid dataset that can inform the fda committee on exactly where we need to start boosting and which other groups should start to get boosted and when. i m just looking at because i m wondering if the administration got ahead of the science and the process, the fda process, because they re saying that their decision to roll out their booster plan was for transparency and planning. did they get ahead of it?
