11:09 am
around the country. and the biden harris administration cannot provide an accurate accounting of how many americans are left. a pentagon spokesman confirm that some us troops was still on their way to help us to, to a couple of airport. the total number is slightly right to more than $6000.00. the main focus is on security at the airport and making sure that as the general said, that, that air operations resume and continue as unimpeded as possible. but clearly, we will be prepared and postured if, if we had to do something additional. but i won't speculate right now, but still no indication as to haul free passage will be guaranteed. well, those were not able to get through the taliban cordon around the airport. president biden has cancelled a plan trip to his home in wilmington and his staying on that the white house

11:19 am
new various vaccines, so again, dnas up fast technology. it has some advantages of global health and it's storage capabilities are $2.00 to $8.00 degree. so refrigerator temperature which is very useful and then also the fact that it's free. so there are some interesting advantages, and i hope that we'll see more of this actually made, and we'll get important information on how it works outside of a clinical trial. you know, in a clinical trial, we control everything. when you introduce hvac seen into the real world, you really need to collect information about how that vaccine is working against the most important things, severe infection, hospitalization, and death. we call that effectiveness and impact, and that's what all vaccines for covert should have. this opens up new opportunities for vaccines in general, as well as a potential preventive measures for cobit. the 2nd reason, the reason it's important is that like the broad hold an activated vaccine. this vaccine was developed in india by the indian scientist in an indian company. and

11:22 am
