>> yes. i think we can. as long as we increase vaccination rates. the good news about this vaccine is that it protects you against severe critical disease, the kind of disease against the delta variant, the kind of disease that causes you to seek medical care or go to the hospital or icu or die. so that is good. but it doesnt work if you dont get it. im very optimistic. we could get on top of this. but realize one thing, when you try to figure out what percentage of the population needs to be va...

Amazing vaccine. now, lets take a look at this third shot data. so the effectiveness of the third shot, when they gave it to people between the ages of 18 and 55, it increased antibodies by more than 5%. when they gave it to older folks, 65 to 85 it increased antibodies by more than 11 times. so five times, 11 times, this third shot really does seem to do good. its really jaus matter of time as to when americans will be told, we recommend that you get a third shot. you know, you mentioned israel...

Vaccinated for a while. this is the fact, we have a surge and increase, continuous increase in the rate of severe cases. so we cant stand in the sidelines, we have to take action. even if we dont have clear stu studies as to the exact effectiveness of the third dose, we are now embarking on this. >> your audio is a little shaky, but im going to keep on going. i really do want to ask you a lot of questions. because as haddas gold was saying, israel is essentially a test case, youre ahead of much ...
