Presented some of it to you. it's still muddy. is there something new out there? if they do recommend boosters, are they going to recommend it for a specific population, people over the age of 65 or 65, for example? maybe you can make the case a little more strongly. let me show you one more thing if i can. israel, because we've often looked at israel as a living lab for what's happening here, and a lot of the data that's being presented is from israel. you know, israel is a very vaccinated country. 63% of the country is vaccinated. they've been doing boosting for sometime now. and the case ra...

Really did find that when masks were lifted, when the cdc said back in may that you don't have to wear a mask if you've been vaccinated, that might have been premature, ayman, but we are coming close to a point where i think the american public needs to understand here are the thresholds where we will let you go without wearing a mask or where we don't recommend wearing a mask indoors and, ayman, we can get there. we're seeing case rates declining. it is within our reach. and imagine how much better we would feel going into the holiday season that we have the confidence of not getting into ano...
