Have showed very significant delays. the brown university in particular when setting this issue children with backgrounds were the worst affected by this policy. steve: i just checked out of interest, our friend at fox news just got thrown off youtube for making the point that you just made not wishing to land you in any trouble. i just checked the policy, i checked yesterday they still have in their community guidelines one of the reasons they will not allow any questioning of the effectiveness...

Individuals and so i think it is too soon to say what will happen an the most important thing that could be done now is for us to take precautions including for those people still waiting on the booster shot, what are you waiting for. please get that booster now. >> lets talk about the moderna booster, the company said this is not published or peer reviewed but they say that that booster shot, moderna shot increases significantly antibodies in the fight against omicron, is this the news that wev...

Dr. kory, it certainly feels that way. tell me about the safety and the effectiveness of things like hydroxychloroquine, iveer member tin and there was also another one. >> all three medications have been around for decades. they have unparalleled safety profiles. and the efficacy signals around them are now inarguable, unquestionable. theres such -- they sit atop large evidence bases. and i have to tell you, myself and my organization, weve spent the whole pandemic trying to disseminate the evi...

Other places across the world and this would protect workers as well as patients. they could reduce transmission, putting in mitigation in school. masks at secondary school is unlikely to be adequate dealing with the levels of infection we have in children which is one into children every classroom, so i think a lot could be done but of course the effectiveness of measures now is going to be much lower than two weeks ago and fact even if we do, hospitalisation will go up. this is the impact of i...

Easy decision, but theyre trying to stay ahead of omicron. >> yeah, andrea that is right. there is still so much we dont know. policymakers and experts are having to make these decisions, and i spoke to one person that said there was not one smoking gun or piece of evidence to recommend a fourth dose. omicron is growing in srael as is it is in the u.s. and they are starting to see some evidence that the third booster dose does wane in its effectiveness over time. i want you to take a listen at w...

Street." this was a miracle on pennsylvania avenue. look, its one we welcome. its great these two guys are talking. its great that trump went out and got his booster, and actually is critical at times i have been at him, he did a terrific job in terms of investing the money and putting the vaccines together. i am glad he got credit. thats the way it ought to in our country. everybody thinks that people who are not vaccinated are all trumpers. thats not true. there is a group of people out there ...

Fda signed off on booster doses of pfizers vaccine for 12 to 15-year-olds and shortened the waiting period between second and third doses to five months from six. meantime, testing remains hard to get. questions about how dangerous low omicron is in general, and specifically to kids remain unanswered. early developments on that front as well. guidelines on isolation. the effectiveness of home testing kits, mask wearing remain confusing or controversial and sometimes even cri contradictory. feels...

Small percentage require hospitalization, thats really a large number of people. and that could collapse hospital systems, especially in areas with low vaccination rates. we do expect every health care worker will be essential in the coming weeks. but what im worried about is what happens when more of us get sick and need to isolate at home. 20% of health care workers, during south africas surge fell ill. thats starting to happen here. you can only receive medical care if theres enough beds and ...

New drugs you can take at home. antiviral pills you can take to prevent serious illness and hospitalization. the one from pfizer that was approved yesterday appears to be more effective and to have potentially fewer side effects, fewer safety concerns, fewer other things to worry about than the one that was approved from merck today. so pfizer one appears to be a preferable option to the one from merck. both in terms of effectiveness and complications. but the one from pfizer, the better one is ...

Including the state media outlet "the beijing news" saying it is a serious violation of the spirit of the rule of law and should never happen again. as of now, the local government stands firm, saying they are -- they were meant to send a strong warning to the local population not to break immigration and covid laws and regulations, and they see nothing inappropriate about this. the whole irony, john, is of course the government in beijing has been touting the effectiveness of its zero covid pol...
