It the opportunity to mutate. and when it mutates you can form another variant which might escape the protection of the vaccines. we have been fortunate that the vaccines that we have now are doing very well against all of the variants including the delta variant. but that could change and that could change if you get more variants. >> dr. patel, doctors said from the beginning that there is a reasonable likelihood that we are going to see more variants. we are dealing with the delta variant now...

>> as long as the virus keeps circulating like that, you give it the opportunity to mutate, when it mutates, you can form another variant which may actually escape the protection of the vaccines. we have been fortunate that the vaccines we have now are doing well against all the variants including the delta variant. that could change and that could change if you get more variants. >> i am curious what you think as a public health messenger, is he talking facts because there is variant mutations ...

That, you give it the opportunity to mutate. when it mutates, you can form another variant, which might actually escape the protection of the vaccines. weve been fortunate that the vaccines that we have now vaccines that we have now are doing very well against all the variants including the delta variant. but that could change. and that could change if you get more variants. so people not getting vaccinated are not only potentially harming themselves and their family but theyre potentially leadi...

Variant have the potential to become as deadly and contagious as the delta variant? >> right, well, the first thing to remember is that the virus will continue to mutate until we have a level of immunity in our communities around this country and around the world, so continued infection is basically the pea tree dish for the virus continuing to mutate. and the mu variant, which is not a concern in the united states right now, much less than, you know, 1% of the isolates in the united states are ...

Six-month booster. we reduce the amount of vaccines, and less of the world is vaccinated. and that article discusses what weve been talking about, the more many virus transmits, and vaccines seem to at least cut down on the infections by two-thirds overall, even with the decline. so the more this virus transmits, the more people it infects, the more likely it is to mutate. even with the boosters, while this virus is transmitting more greatly, youre more likely to see this mutation. but most peop...

Towers and other attacks. so, in that context, jake, they are trying to mutate. and i think its very interesting indeed that the g7 have said that they are going to have a unified response in looking for actions, not words from the taliban in the future. jake? >> all right, sam kiley at the kabul airport in afghanistan. lets bring in our panel. i want to start with nic robertson because you heard the president there talk about the meeting that he had with allies with the g7, with nato, with the ...
