again that you need to make immunity against me. and more importantly, that remember me in other words, immune memory. so of course, it makes a lot of biological sense that a 4th and maybe a 5th vaccine out would be beneficial in that it augment the immunity. having said all this, that is of cause a concern that we need to also immunize the rest of the world to we need to immunize people who have not had any vaccines at all. because that is where the greatest public health gain comes from. again, this is an example of the rich a nation's can do whatever they like, because they've got the vaccines that what the supplies and they can immunize their population once twice christ. and now the 4th time, the credit is people die. and we need to accept that if you do not immunized people die. and then furthermore,

i have said this repeatedly is if you do not suppress infections in one rouble countries where you have a lot of immune suppressed people, then you will get the um, the drive for variance to emerge. and omicron is one such example. and we can definitely get other variants, which will again, be a setback if we don't suppress infections in all over the world. more a 1000000 curved line chain vaccines have been destroyed in nigeria, health officials there. so the doses that expired jobs that are nations from europe given to nigeria through the international kovacs vaccine sharing program for that us bar. as more from a boucher, according to health officials in the capital c t. m. i did this vaccine in october, and some of them had just about 2 weeks to expire before they would give it to the country. and so they tried as much as we could to get to distributed across the

country, especially to route settings where some of these people needed them to be vaccinated . but it couldn't be only succeeded, invest anything about the media and people with it. and about 1500000 people, or rather i'm that they had to be immediate on 66000 faxing because at the health official said to be aware hamilton, i didn't want to take that route given that already people have been very reluctant to come in to go back today to decided to go public in trying to more like to show us because i did in the home of the conspiracy theories about vaccination, and people have been saying or thought they needed to reassure. and i didn't that these vaccines. we have put in, they've been cutting out before the vaccines distributed and administered on they didn't. so this public display or the public because all of this expired vaccines

is just to show people that the health authorities were on top of it gave. i were making sure that whatever vaccine were given to people where after they of good quality us president joe biden as an estimation to limit a surgeon on a cron cases, that they include expanded tests, support for hospitals and more vaccination. as part he stopped short of calling for further restriction, this escrow lived out of washington out of harris. kimberly how could his staff for us, what's been the reaction than to the president's plan to combat the omicron varied? well that surprisingly a lot of the ordinary americans on the street are happy that the president has kept his promise and is not implementing locked downs or aggressive measures to limit the number of people at indoor gatherings. for example, because we're heading into the busy holiday season in terms of christmas as well as new years. and so many people have plans. they don't want to break. but at the same

time, public health officials are having a very different reaction. there is alarm in the public health community that the federal government has not gotten more aggressive in terms of trying to restrict the spread of the omnicom variant, which is the dominant. what now in the united states, the concern is, is that so much of what the federal government has proposed is simply not going to be enough or is too little too late. for example, those half 1000000000 rapid tests that americans will finally have access to. they're not gonna get them until january. the problem is, is that many people have plans to gather with relatives and friends prior to that and maybe annoyingly spreading the virus, particularly if they're asymptomatic. so the concern is, as we already see an outbreak in the united states due to the thanksgiving american thanksgiving holiday that occurred a couple of weeks ago. that things are only going to get worse. so public health

officials calling for the federal government to go a step further, even as some of the public is saying that they like what they've heard from joe biden. okay, so that's a response to the federal level. what's happening right now around the country? well, the problem for is around the country is that in the absence of aggressive action by the federal government states and cities, municipalities are kind of taking matters into their own hands. so what you have is kind of a patchwork of different types of protocols. it's led to confusion in the united states, and it's also led to people sort of traveling to one jurisdiction, thinking they're complying. only to find that they're not what we're seeing as in new york, boston chicago. things are getting a lot more strict in terms of being required to show a vaccination card to gain entry into public venues such as movie theaters or sports events if they're even being held at all. and on top of that, we're, we're also seeing our people essentially in the business community making up rules

as they go. and so it's led to a lot of confusion in the united states and a lack of compliance in many cases. because what we know is that in the sort of tough economic times that we're still experience in the u. s. many private businesses simply don't have the staff members to enforce some of these protocols. and so as a result, it is led to a lot of confusion. public health officials fear a spike in cases in the u. s. ounces here is kimberly hancock live in washington dc . kimberly many thanks. 100 new travel restrictions had to be enforced in thailand to help counter the oma crone variance, the government says that the measures will be reviewed in early january, but a study chang reports now from bangkok that may be too late for many struggling businesses to survive. the beaches applicant may look busy, but this is as good as it's going to get less than 2 months after fully opening its boulders. thailand is once again shutting down lava. for now,

what the security council has just done. it is not removing sanctions from afghanistan far from it. it is clarifying that humanitarian aid is exempt from sanctions. this was done at the request of the united states with support of the entire council. it passed unanimously because of concern that the afghan economy is on the verge of collapse without cash getting into the country. the united states and a world banks froze nearly $10000000000.00 of afghan money after the taliban took control because of sanctions that prevent the taliban blood prevent the dealing with the taliban. so the united nations has been warning that more cash is needed in the country in order to prevent mass starvation. they warn that half the country is now on the facing food and security. and the situation could get much

worse because of the lack of cash because of a drought and cove it and so on. so this resolution a clarifies that aid can get to, into the country for humanitarian purposes. initially, the united states had wanted aid to be reviewed on a case by case basis. certain members of the council, namely china and russia, had argued that against that they said that humanitarian aid should be allowed in full stop without any conditions. and that, that was the changes that were, were made were to accommodate back concerns. so essentially what is in the resolution is that the united nations, after 6 months, will present to the council. it's view of what has been happening with this money to get into the country to reassure the international community. the money is not going places that it shouldn't be, it shouldn't. it is not going to sanctioned individual and is not being used for

anything besides humanitarian aid. so a lot of compromises, a lot of back and forth. the united states originally originally wanted this done earlier in the week. but now we have a unanimous vote. clearly the international community concerned about the situation . and now more money will be able to get to those in need and afghanistan. kristen salumi reporting live from the un. kristen many thanks. the u. n.
