Page 26 - Breakthrough Cases News Today

Effective and why were seeing breakthrough cases and you have to consider a large segment of the population still being unvaccinated but on top of that, the people who are vaccinated who are frail immune compromised to breakthrough. its a big problem. like the previous speakers said, we need to start acting and not reacting. we need to be prepared and this is our third wave. im a weary guy dealing with patients. last week i had multiple patients with covid i was operating on and really slows dow...

The latest strategy on covid. as you mentioned, he tested negative yesterday, he tested negative today and will be tested again on wednesday but will continue with his daily schedule because cdc guidance doesnt require fully vaccinated individuals to quarantine after an exposure. i think that underscores a point which well hear him make tomorrow, which is even if youre vaccinated and boosted, you could get covid, but that is the best form of protection against hospitalizations and deaths. and, y...

For the testing, the uk, so many other countries have figured out how to do this. america do this, too. it requires political will. it requires testing becoming the number one priority going forward as much as vaccines because i think the biden administration has put all their eggs in the vaccine basket and real forgot that testing is this other super important component along by the way with masking. it is a vaccines, testing and masking that are going to get us through this. >> dr. fauci said ...

The president channel some of that frustration. he will outline the steps that he is taking, and one of the biggest challenges is on testing. but they also need to make clear that there is almost a normalization of late from white house officials on breakthrough cases that you may get one, it will be mild, but then much more stark terms for those who are unvaccinated, that you are facing a harsh winter of potential severe illness and even death. that is the audience that is he talking about, fru...

Prevalent than ever. it sounds like it is less deadly >> harris: as far as we know. >> there is more breakthrough cases and we want to make sure people have the right information to make the best decision else for themselves. >> harris: you just mentioned something that is so important. it is everywhere, not just in the united states. i havent heard the president or his team at the white house taking down the unvaccinated in countries where they dont have access to the vaccines. if you want an e...

That, and i want to applaud them again for taking a little bit less of an accusatory tone toward the unvaccinated. i meet with people every day who have questions, and they have legitimate questions, women who are worried about fertility, other people who have had prior covid, and they say i have been vaccinated, ive had prior covid, had this conversation today, do i need to get a booster. these arent people who are irrational. they are people who have questions. we need to approach that way. an...

About this being a pandemic for the unvaccinated. that really isnt the case since were seeing breakthrough cases, but of course they may be more mild. the white house has to talk about this from the perspective that we have the tools to prevent serious illness, hospitalization and death. if you do get vaccinated and if you get your booster on top of it. the president is really going to punch home those messages. he wants everyone to listen to that, especially ahead of the holidays. this is a spe...
