Transmissible virus that has th potential to our vaccines in terms of how it protects us fro severe disease and death. >> doctor, are we expected to keep taking new boosters every year as this virus continues to mutate down to the last letter in the alphabet? >> know, and while there could be mutation, that is always the case so there is nothing new to that, but what the study a week ago i think came out from marie that shows that people with natural immunity who had covid, they have immunity di...

And when we see this in the literature it is very important for us to emphasize because at the end of the day what we want to do is stop the transmission. how do we get variants? we get variants because the virus gets into somebody who is not protected. it undergoes mutation. then it spreads to additional people. what we need to have done to prevent the variants from escaping and prevent transmission is have more people vaccinated. it is that straight forward. we need to continue to communicate ...

Have to get as many people vaccinated as possible. vaccine helps me and not communicate the virus to others with the same strength. you are nodding yes. what does it mean that a congress member from florida doesnt know that? he thought we were in a tit for tat and said oh, thats not how vaccine works. vaccine protects you, creates a cocoon. i had to tell him no it does that and it mitigates your ability to communicate it to others. another reason to get it. if he doesnt know that are we doing so...

Triumph the prime minister had hoped for. it is an experiment and one that could impact the effects to fight the pandemic all over the world. >> reporter: u.k.s prime minister has long promised a journey to an inevitable destination. >> when im traveling on a one-day road to freedom -- >> reporter: newspapers gave that journeys end an obvious name. freedom day. now its here. it doesnt feel very free. >> this pandemic is not over. this disease, coronavirus, continues to carry risks for you and yo...

By many people, thinking of myself, that going in the summer has some advantages. >> reporter: advantages like reduced seasonal pressure on hospitals, and with schools out, reduced spread amongst students. but the plan has many expert critics that use words like reckless and unethical. >> all the models show there will be millions of cases over the summer and there will be thousands of hospital zags over the summer. >> reporter: the government is aware of another ominous warning from its own sci...

Mutation to that that is in some ways either more infectious or could make the vaccine less effective? and are you increasing the chances of that by having 50, 60, 70, 100,000 people a day infected? martin hibberd is a professor of emerging infectious diseases at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine. he agrees. what i worry about is that we might be generating a vaccine—resistant . variant, and thats something we need to keep careful eye i on to make sure that that doesnt happen....

You are increasing the chance that a new variant could emerge. at the moment, it is this delta variant that is by far the most prevalent in the uk. could you see some mutation to that that is in some way more infectious or could make a vaccine less effective and are you increasing the chances of that by having 50, 60, 70, 100,000 people a day infected? martin hibberd is a professor of emerging infectious diseases at the london school of hygiene & tropical medicine. he adds to this. i worry that ...

That over a long period of time, but each mutation, as weve seen but does not mean that vaccines are not effective of us are also mentally i suspect we will not really need booster vaccines because of the way the vaccines or cleats in society will mean we still are protected against severe disease —— ultimately. even though we will almost certainly still suffer the mild features of covid, but it is morphing into the sore throat, the sneezing that we are seeing now, and thatis sneezing that w...

Mutation, and a mutation that is potentially, you know, would render the vaccines useless. >> yeah, the threat is very real, and just as a basic mechanism in biology, and geoff, these viruses mutate every day, and all of the time, and it is like when the spike protein is easier to infect, and stay in the body. that is when we worry. but it is inevitable, but geoff, i am learning from years in practice, it is hard to get people to worry about the future, so you have to make it about the here and ...

Invading mutation are likely to break through because one of the arguments around lifting restrictions and justification is the success of the vaccine programme especially for people who have been double vaccinated. yes. especially for people who have been double vaccinated.— double vaccinated. yes, and i think its a real concern _ double vaccinated. yes, and i think its a real concern to _ double vaccinated. yes, and i think its a real concern to government i double vaccinated. yes, and i thi...
