I think the idea of requiring testing, which will allow us to have an idea of what is happening and be able to follow the sequencing and the data, will be a smart move. what is the major concern? is it that there are really high numbers, case numbers, in china? is it new variants? what exactly is the real area of concern here? every time you have a surge, youre seeing a lot of infections circulating in the population. every time the virus has a chance to spread, it has a chance to mutate. these ...

We dont have good mortality data, and we certainly dont have good sequencing data that could tell us a lot about what variants are circulating and what we could expect. i think the idea of requiring testing, which will allow us to have an idea of what is happening and be able to follow the sequencing and the data, will be a smart move. what is the major concern? is it that there are really high numbers, case numbers, in china? is it new variants? what exactly is the real area of concern here? ev...

Cant be a patient here. based on number 10, medical risk factors that make the surgery unsafe. being unvaccinated to the cdc recommended vaccinations based on her age is part of that. >> so denying a lifesaving transplant for a 14-year-old, because she doesnt have the covid vaccine, its obvious unreasonable and viciously cool. but it gets worse in its details. julia had covid and recovered, natural immunity, proven by scientists to be superior to the covid vaccines, but when they mentioned that ...

Already been infected at least once. >> so if you think about why our vaccines are less effective than they were when we first started vaccinating people in december of 2020, there are a couple of reasons. number one, the efficacy of the vaccine wanes over time. so the longer its been since you received a vaccination, the less potent it remains in your system. and the other major problem is that the virus continues to mutate. our vaccines are less effective because the virus has a different stru...

BA.5, the latest highly transmissible sub-variant of the omicron variant, became the dominant variant in the hospital district of Helsinki and Uusimaa (HUS) in June, reports Helsingin Sanomat.

Actually are in human testing, weve completed a study of over 500 people with this booster and we will have those data soon, but i think more importantly this is a booster vaccine that is really very similar to spike vax that weve used in hundreds of millions of people around the world, it just has the messenger rna added to it the ba.4, 5, so its very similar. i think we can safely and effectively protect people with this booster and we should all feel confident. >> lets talk about when people ...

That work in the program. is that if you give monkeypox viruses of enough opportunities to mutate, and replicate, and change, we are worried. even though theres a small chance that that might happen. so thats one of the biggest issues. >> the smallpox vaccine, because people of a certain age got that as a kid, does that offer some protections though? >> it does, and again smallpox it offers almost lifelong protection. for monkeypox, probably about 85% protection. but we have a better vaccine tha...

Urgency to do that. >> one of our viewers on twitter asked a really good question. this viewer asked -- id like to know the likelihood of monkeypox variants and could it mutate into a more deadly variant? >> i dont think anyone knows the answer to that. but what weve learned very well over the last 2.5 years of the coronavirus pandemic is the longer a virus remains in a community, the longer and the more people are infected, the more opportunities there is for the virus to mutate. but we have a ...

Response were always going to be lagging, chasinging and hoping our immunity would outpace these variants? >> it doesnt have to be that way, laura, and the reason we say that, that is true. when you have a lot of dynamics of a virus replication in the community, you give a virus more of an opportunity to mutate. more likely, youll get a new variant. by diminishing the circulation of virus in the community by vaccinations and boosting and masking where appropriate, and testing so that you can kee...

Know has those facts. so, its one of those things that is out there. its perhaps significant. maybe the fbi has more facts. and so, i would encourage people really to look at what we do know, rather than focusing in on the few details coming up right now, that we dont know the specifics of. >> the donut versus the hall as you said. donald ayer, thank you so much for being with us. coming up, as steve bannon prepares to go to trial next week, new leaked audio from the former trump advisor shows h...
