Shots expected soon for those of us who are fully vaccinated, you, me. what does that look like? is it more like a tetanus booster once every ten years? or is it more like a flu shot every year? >> ive been spending a lot of time reporting on this, jake. i think where this is headed is that its going to be different for different people likely. people who are more immunocompromised who dont build up the same level of immunity in response to the vaccine, theyre likely going to need it earlier. pe...

Back is because of vaccination. im really glad that the foo fighters are having their concert and dave chappelle is showing up and in particular glad that they are requiring vaccination. because frankly the rick of risk between those vaccinated is extremely low. the concern is for unvaccinated people to people who are vaccinated but who may have underlying health conditions or have family members who are immunocompromised. and so big crowded settings allows for people to resume pre-pandemic norm...

Which is key. there are many people that in that wait and see group that still have these false beliefs about vaccines. or they dont have a full understanding about the safety around vaccines. that push still needs to happen. so, even if that 70% milestone gets hit in july, i think that it still looks assess. especially with the delta variant. we need to encourage people to get our vaccinated. >> okay, really quickly, we have -- and want to ask about these pills that are going to trial here that...

Public health guidance needs to keep some protections in place for the ten million Americans like me who have compromised immune systems.

Vaccine. what more can you tell us about that? >> i think that is all absolutely true and i think that is why the guidance from the cdc is critical. its very straightforward. if youve been fully vaccinated, you can go without a mask. if you have not, you should not. both for your own sake and for the sake of others like kids under 12, like people who are immunocompromised. unfortunately, the disinformation and the sort of anti-mask freedom rallies and all of that over the last year have kind of ...

Advisor. thanks for your time. 37 million travellers, 2.5 million goes by plane. the single busiest travel weekend since the start of the pandemic. it feels like things are getting back to normal. but what would you encourage travellers to keep in mind this weekend? perhaps even if they are vaccinated. >> craig, why arent you and i on the beach with shaq? never mind. i think what we ought to keep in mind is that in those large crowds, even if you are vaccinated, lots of people will keep their ma...
