After words and commissioners, and especially ones that are headed by women, black women. and so, they are really going after total control of the process, and our only option is to fight back in court, and fight back at the ballot box. of course, as ariana stewart had said, thats going to be a difficult challenge, but were up to the task. we are going to continue this fight to have a right to vote. >> you know, theres a lot of criticism of the idea of being woke. but, this is why you need to wa...

But you did see some waning of that yomoverall efficacy of the vaccines. one thing to point out this is a big discussion at this time because as we go into the winter season one of the big concerns is that if there are more and more people in the hospital, its not only covid that would be impacted but also illnesses as well. take a look. if you start to see surges here, lets say 75% capacity for icus, that leads to lots of other patients, potentially not being able to get care. and according to ...

Were seeing nearly as many cases as we saw in our large surge last winter, so nearly a year ago. out of, i believe, this morning when i went into work, we had 66 patients in our icu. 35 of those had covid. 29 of them were on ventilators. we have five people on ecmo support, which is, i think, easier to understand as lung bypass. this large surge of patients that we have and really throughout our entire hospital system has impacted the ability to provide the care that we normally would deliver to...

Have enabled legislators to safely ignore the people who elected them. and these maps here, more of the same. >> reporter: and some minority groups are furious at both the gop and the governor. >> these maps are illegal. and a perversion of justice that cannot stand. >> reporter: across the country, the fierce fight over drawing new election maps in the wake of the census favors republicans who control more legislatures and governorships and political analysts say the new maps alone could help t...

You add this component of the fact that theres -- seems to be some waning of the protection of the vaccines as well. so thats, i think, what probably will drive the surge. now we dont know how many people out there have immunity. we know that theres about 60% of the country thats been vaccinated. theres a lot of people who had covid as well and theyre going to have some infection acquired immunity for a while. hard to know what that number is. that may stem the surge. but quickly, the problem al...

Countries. that is what we are seeing. there are cases among the vaccinated but they are mild. the folks dying in the hospital are unvaccinated. speak of the cases of people in icus, what percentage of them ae unvaccinated? >> in my experience it is the vast majority of those patients in the icu that are critically ill or unvaccinated and i think to a man and to a woman in those situations, also dominic all those patients are saying i wisd gotten a vaccine. take care of yourself and your family ...

So my question to you, is the reality of that is that vaccines only last six months? >> no, not at all. i will say this. as an icu physician, im on shift in the coming hours here, i am not seeing an epidemic of younger, otherwise healthy individuals coming into my icu or icus across the country. so we need to be clear to the american people that the people that dr. fauci is referencing, dr. walensky, were those that were otherwise older, 65 years of age and older, who got two shots, who have yet...

Average number of daily cases in the country has more than doubled with some icus in the country reporting theyre at full capacity and germanys fully vaccinated 67% of its population. many other countries in western europe with relatively high vaccination rates are seeing new covid cases surging. vaccination is certainly limiting severe illness and death, thankfully in those countries, but i really this should serve as a warning to the rest of the world that if countries with 70% to 80% vaccinat...
