I look at l.a. county that decided to do an indoor masking mandate. with all due respect, i understand wanting to error on the side of caution. but when you make a move like that is counter to what the cdc has put out there, you have to have science to back it up. what do they have? they have a 60%-plus one dose vaccination rate. test positivity, 3% or less. their hospitals are not stressed right now from covid. the reason i say this is when it comes the fall, winter, were going to have regional...

Going to do to try to persuade those people who havent been persuaded yet? and i wonder, do you have any sense if thats really the demographic youre trying to reach right now? people who havent been persuaded that its a good idea to have a vaccination yet. what are you going to say to them to try and encourage them to come along? weve got two different mechanisms. the walk—ins are really, i think, targeted at that slightly younger demographic. weve had really good success with that since the 1...

The public needs to feel like public health officials are making moves based on science. i just dont feel like that exist in l.a. county. so theres a lot of people out there saying why are they doing that. so reflects, is not based on science. why? its confusing and i think thats leading into all of the hesitancy that exists. back over to you. two questions, especially in your role as an author of political nonfiction. how on guard should we continue to be for episodes of people looking to burni...

That we would still be battling smallpox and polio if we had had the same level of disinformation around when we were fighting those diseases? >> i think dr. fauci had a great insight. you know, at the time when we were vaccinating against smallpox, children and adults all came forward to be vaccinated. when polio virus vaccine first was available, the line stretched down the block, of parents and children coming in to be vaccinated. and there was not this kind of pushback and grousing and hesit...

Out on facebook in support of the filibuster and putting pressure on manchin, there is nothing that you can convince me that manchin wont eventually give up in the carrot or the stick, we need the president to lean in, we need to have him to have an lbj moment and right now he is having a rutherford b. hayes moment who is the president who ended reconstruction by pulling the troops out and saying black folks, youre on your own and that is what it feels like from a president in spift the passiona...

Religious and refusing to get vaccinated, so are you finding conversations within your church, what do you think is a hesitancy with people and what do you say to them? >> looked, there are a variety of reasons people have for not taking the vaccines. i respect most of those objections, even if i dont agree with them. but i dont respect to save christians who say "my body, my choice." that is what the pro-abortionist say. the gospel of jesus christ, it is not just about me, it is about us. dont ...

Better be good. otherwise, you cant trust that whole system. >> does that mean its good for everyone? i think that is -- that has become -- um -- its -- its escape mechanism for, oh, i dont want to get the vaccine. or i have hesitancy about the vaccine. or i just want to have my political angle on this vaccine. i dont want to tell people so, therefore, i am going to say that if its not fda approved, therefore, im not going to get it. i dont believe -- i dont believe -- i just dont believe -- i d...
