Antibodies by more than 50%. this is for people who have contracted the virus and how much might this slow the surge at all? >> the treatments, the monoclonal antibodies seem to be very effective. . the real purpose is to prevent someone from needing to be hospitalized. the right would be for a patient who is at high risk, not sick enough to be in the hospital and basically dont have enough antibodies themselves. youre basically giving an infusion of antibodies and from being naturally infect bu...

Nonvaccinated. its 99.9% those that have not been vaccinated that are responsible for these cases. its a point that the president expects to pound again and again in about an hour. welcome, everybody. im neil cavuto, this is "your world." first to peter doocy on what well hear out of the president and the argument that he will make to get tough now. peter? >> neil, the white house thinks that they have given 4 million federal workers enough nudging to go and get vaccinated. so now if these feder...

It has turned out climate change means you never have to say you were sorry for having failed to do things that prevented lives from being lost. we have seen this now around the united states. we have seen the governor of california blamed the firefighters with climate change. and now the mayor of new york and other officials claiming climate change for the floods in new york and better infrastructure preparedness, better evacuations and effectiveness of deaths. and we are seeing it on climate c...

Vaccinate. >> you talk about effectiveness of the vaccine. theres now a question of the mu variant and is it, whats the term the professionals use, evasive, can it evade the vaccine. is it resistant to the vaccine. we dont know much. when will we know more about that. when you talk to people, how do you frame the level of concern that you have? >> yeah. i think about everything in levels of concern that one, im always concerned when i see variants where we have the potential for evading immunity...

Vaccinated people overestimating the risk. >> we somehow feel like were not just living in two worlds, talking about the pandemic of the unvaccinated, i think that created a lot more confusion to be honest in retrospect. i think the way to talk about the trajectory is number one, the pandemic is global and it is not over. number two, this is something that is actually different than last year, hallie, within our grasp. we can see rapid declining cases and continue to actually have hopefully a mo...

Kind of high filtration masks. doing regular testing and understanding risk. understanding and eliminating some of the risk. they did that well, jim, in many school districts last year, even showing pre-vaccine that schools could open safely. many places said, well, weve got the vaccine so lets not worry about the basic public health strategies. thats the mistake. it can be happen and it is not that hard to do. >> we have to do everything. sounds like all of the above might be the better approac...

Three doses of an mrna. gl . >> lets talk about this now, cnn chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. what do you think about what you heard there from dr. fauci? >> im glad hes phrasing it that way. its an important message. and obviously hes dr. fauci, hes sort of, you know, relying on decades of judgment when it comes to something like this as well. i think one of the things is that we were told all along. look at some point we might need boosters. why would we need boosters, if we see ...

Been messaged that most likely the two mrna vaccines would each be a three-dose vaccine and likely the j&j is a two-dose vaccine. thats of the way the vaccines were given so close together, three or four weeks apart. you would not design that schedule for durability or length of protection or for long-lasting protection. you did it because we needed to save lives when so many people were losing their lives in nursing homes and the health care providers were at risk. but when it was rolled out, i...

Effectiveness of a booster, of a third shot. so this -- the israelis sort of spotted the problem. they found this summer that those who had been vaccinated in january had more than twice the risk of breakthrough infections compared to those vaccinated in april. that was the sign that something was not quite right. so then what they found later is that the booster reduces the odds of infection by 70% to 84%. and in people age 60 and over, a booster decreased the relative risk of severe illness by...

Were in crisis. we were losing nursing home residents, health care providers needed protection. we needed to quickly vaccinate those groups and that was a very important endeavor that saved a lot of lives and i totally support doing that approach. the problem with it is when you give two immunizations with only three or four weeks apart, thats not great for producing long lasting and durable protection. and thats why for so many pediatric vaccines we give so many immunizations in a row and thats...
