to this variant. >> hearing dr. fauci talk about how our diagnostic tools and our treatment tools might need to change here to deal with omicron got me thinking about the idea that we're almost talking about two separate diseases at this point. the omicron being more contagious, potentially less deadly for vaccinated people. and the delta variant which is still out there killing thousands of americans on a weekly basis. is that a fair way to think about this, kind of like one disease that we're talking about and a vaccinated population, another disease out there ravaging largely the unvaccinated population? >> well, you know, i would take a step back and say that omicron is still a very big deal if you're unvaccinated. whether it's delta, omicron, i -- the more virus that you have in your body, what we know now from data that was actually released yesterday is that omicron likes to replicate and likes to house itself in the nose and respiratory tract. that's adam's apple

member, i'm vaccinated, i'm boosted, my wife is vaccinated, she's boosted, my children are coming in by plane from all different parts of the country, they are vaccinated and boosted. so we can feel very comfortable in having our plans to be together as a family in our home with some friends who are also boostered and vaccinated. >> the first thing i take away from that interview which you could see more of on "nightly news" tonight is he keeps talking about booster shots, that booster shots are going to be so key in this. i wonder what you think about the idea that omicron is spreading rapidly in the coming days, but vaccinated americans and boosted don't need to be too worried about. that seemed to be mytakeaway. i'm curious about yours. >> good afternoon. i completely agree with dr. fauci in terms of what the new normal looks like. that's psychologically -- we need to reset expectations for the american public. i think the silver lining of
