Saying we want to protect those because even if they are vaccinated with this ba.2 subvariant, they can still get it and have issues from it if they're immunocompromised. if they're elderly with immune systems not as strong as the younger ones. but we're not going make vaccination a requirement. so they're doing this in a step-wise fashion. i think some will say they're being extra cautious and overly cautious, but i think they're doing the right amount of caution here, trying to get it under control, getting masks on in public places, seeing what direction it goes in and hopefully start bring...

Mirror. what does the world look like at that point? and it -- and there is debate among the scientific community. i think we are still very vulnerable to another big summer wave across the south in texas just like we were in 2020 and 2021. others say, no, this will look more like a regular-seasonal winter virus and there is some models to suggest that might be a possibility. so, the bottom line is no matter what we need to do, we need to still increase the percentage of our u.s. population that is vaccinated and someone's got to figure out how we are going to vaccinate globally because that's...

Looking for that we've entered endemic phase, rather than being in a pandemic? >> well, i think the first thing we want to see is this omicron wave, don, go way down to the point where it was before it started. um, as the delta wave had really descended in the south. so, you know, we're -- we're only about halfway down, and it's unclear whether it'll get stuck there for a while just like it did in the uk. so, the first thing that has to happen is the omicron wave has to really descend down to the bottom. the second thing that has to happen is to make certain that this ba 2 variant, which is ca...

Waning? so it could restore it back to those high numbers with the booster. the question is if and when? if we don't expect another wave until an annual winter wave, we have the luxury of time and we can do something like that in the fall. many of us are concerned that we've seen big peaks in the southern states, in texas, in 2020 and 2021, and maybe we'll have to do it sooner ahead of the summer wave. the bigger question is, what is the long term plan? does this mean annual boosters? do we have to pivot to a different time of vaccine technology? so we really need to bring smart people togethe...

I was like really excited. it's made me really happy. punching the air, we were in the car, she wasjust like, "yes!" the move follows advice to ministers expert ones thejoint committee for vaccine and immunisation. |vaccination of children and young | people can bring benefits to other people such as adults and including parents and grandparents, - but at the forefront is the health and benefits to children - and young people themselves. but only last month, thejcvi said the benefits did not outweigh the risks. we mustn't forget that the summer wave as we experiencing now, - was also quite unc...
