as a hostile work environment. >> before we go, a quick programming note. next weekend an event exclusively on cnn. don't miss the we love nyc homecoming concert saturday on august 21st. thanks so much for watching. ac 360 starts now. good evening. we begin tonight with breaking news that is vitally important to the millions of americans who have been vaccinated against covid but might not be fully protected because their immune system is damaged by illness and suppressed by certain medications. cnn has learned expected in the next 38 hours to offer booster shots. the cdc estimates about 9 million americans are immunocompromised so it's a very big deal. it would be the first authorization for a booster shot for covid. also late today u.s. surgeon

general mirthy offered this hopeful prediction to parents to cnn's wolf blitzer. >> if anything were to go well and everything were to fall in place i think it's possible we could see a vaccine for the end of the calendar year for kids under 12. >> that cannot come too soon, obviously. nationwide the number of kids hospitalize frd covid is on the brink of exceeding the highest numbers on record for the entire pandemic. in california the governor today became the first in the nation to order vaccination or regular testing for all teachers or all school personnel statewide. meanwhile in texas and florida where child cases are climbing more steeply local officials -- and across the hardest hit areas people who work in children's hospitals are seeing something they haven't seen prior to the delta variant they say. >> over the last year we hadn't seen as many kids get acute covid lung disease as much as we're seeing there.

the delta variant is definitely hitting them a lot smarter, a lot harder than they had in the past. >> it's a game changer. >> it is. the kids are sicker than they have been. >> a lot to talk about tonight how effective masks are at keeping kids safe in school. we'll talk to an infectious disease specialist about what the research actually found. we do begin though with cnn's kaitlan collins at the white house. what do we know about this booster decision? >> reporter: anderson, this is expected to come by the fda at the end of the week offering this third shot for some people who are immunocompromised. a small subset of a group and that can be people who had organ transplants, getting chemo treatments, things of that nature as well. but that will be detailed when the fda makes the authorization, and it's not the last step in getting these people this shot of moderna or pfizer vaccine but

it is the next step in this. once they've changed the authorization which right now is for two shots then the cdc has to vote on that and make a recommendation about whether or not to follow that authorization from the fda. and conveniently the cdc does have a meeting with its vaccine advisers scheduled for friday, and so there could be a vote coming out of that. so you could see this start to move quickly for some of these immunocompromised people waiting to hear from the fda and cdc whether or not they need a third shot of these two dose vaccines. >> what about boostersr for the general population? is this kind of just a first step so it's not everybody all at once? >> reporter: they're kind of considering two different things here. for people who are immune yo compromised concern they need a third shot is because they never developed a response to the vaccine that someone who is not

immuno compromised did. so that is the concern there and why they need them, given we've seen about a third of the people eligible to get a vaccine in the u.s. did not actually get one. so there's not that herd immunity that doctors were hoping the u.s. could achieve. when it comes to the general population getting vaccines what they're studying for that is the efficacy and when it sfatarts t wane. that is something they're looking into. we've seen moderna and pfizer put out some of their own information. but the question with that is not just everyone should get them at once but who should get them when and what dates should be recommended for them. because of course a lot of elderly people were the first in line to get the vaccine in the united states, a lot of health care workers also. that is something we're get close to in september. could come right now by the end of the week thou we have been cautioned the timing could slide. >> let's get sperspective now

from dr. lena wen. entitled the pandemic has become more dangerous for children, here's how to help keep them safe and also author of a new book. s sanjay, how significant is this? talk about who is considered immuno compromised and eligible for a third shot. >> this is significant. we've seen this play out in countries around the world and i think a lot of people need to be wondering when this is happening in the united states. and i think it's imminent as kaitlan just said if the fda does make this recommendation it'll be followed by the cdc just like we saw with the vaccines. the fda recommended we see the same thing and soon after that we could see these shots going out maybe this weekend or early next week. it could be that fast. it is about 3% to 4% of the population we're talking about,

about 9 to 10 people. your immune system isn't able to crete the immune response to the vaccines other people do. so people who have received chemotherapy, hiv aids patiences and people who received organ transplants or immune yo suppressant drugs. this is study that just came out of the new england journal of medicine. focus on the bottom left of that screen, the red line is what happens when someone got the first two shots, and then they have the third shot and they produced a lot of antibodies. the blue line is just a placebo to give a control test there. point being for people who said i'm just not generating enough antibodies at least according to this one study, when they got that third shot it did make a difference in really bringing those antibody levels up. >> just to be clear people who have hiv on medication are they

still immuno compromised am. >> it depends. you can measure that. you can see how many of these types of immune cells they actually have in their system. they're often sort of followed along for that specifically whereas people who may take immuno suppressant drugs for transplant, for example, some people may take these type of drugs because they have auto immune d immune diseases. 10 million people is a big group of people but who specifically is that going to be? i think that's what part of the fda and cdc will drill down on. >> there's some guidance on what people with one dose of the johnson & johnson should do, but would an immune yo compromised person who received one dose of the j&j vaccine i assume now they'd be able to get a dose of pfizer or moderna? >> it's really important for the fda or cdc to come out with strong recommendations that certain groups of immune yo

compromised people should get the shot at this point but i hope they leave room for nuance. there are going to be people with some degree of immuno compromise who may not belong in these high risk categories but high risk of exposure. they have a little bit of immuno compromised, maybe they should also be allowed to get a booster shot by way of expoekser and same thing for people with the johnson & johnson vaccine. we actually know at this point the j&j vaccine like astrazeneca, they are effective against severe illness but less effective it seems especially with the delta variant. and so i think for these individuals a decision should be able to be made between them and their doctor about getting a booster dose at this time regardless of immuno compromise. and i hope that the fda and cdc allow for people to start making these decisions for themselves with their doctors instead of having as is the case many people just going to random

doctors saying to them you should get the booster but they can't prescribe it so they're going to pharmacies and grocery stores trying to find a way to get the booster. >> sanjay, how would this even work now? if you're going to get a booster are the big vaccination centers still operating, or is it now all through pharmacies and doctors? >> it's mostly through pharmacies and doctors. and in most cases there is supply. this is problem early on the demand was outstripping the demand for a long time, the supply has outstripped the demand. and in some of these places the vaccine is even expiring. it's a question for them to be able to use this in this way otherwise them possibly going to waste. for whatever people if it was a big vaccine center it's most likely it's going to be available in their local pharmacies now. >> i mean, i know this is off topic but i mean i got to say the idea that vaccines are going

to be thrown out because not enough people are taking them and there are people around the world who would do anything to get a vaccine, it is -- it's unconscionable. >> i totally agree. i just came back from tokyo and i got a chance to interact with people from all over the world there. and it is remarkable to me the places around the world where access is 1% 2% of the population even has access. there are vaccine programs that have just started in some countries over the last few weeks, so people are literally begging for these vaccines and we're explaining we have significant hesitancy, plenty of supply. to be fair there's hesitancy all over the world but this is unprecedented levels for sure. >> we've been talking a lot this week about when children under the age of 12 will be eligible for a vaccine. we heard the surgeon general say it's possible for a vaccine to

be available for kids under 12 later this year. you're a mom, two young kids. what are your expectations? >> well, it feels like our time line keeps on getting pushed back because initially there were some reports maybe as early as september, october we'd be able to see the vaccines be authorized for the 5 to 11-year-old group and maybe the 3 to 5-year-old group by the end of this year. that's kind of what i and many other people were hoping for. at this point i'd like to see a bit more transparency as in what exactly is happening. how close with we to getting those results? and also how much data is the fda actually waiting for? the urge ncy to get the vaccine for younger children is quite extraordinary now. right now we're entering a period arguably a dangerous time for children during the entire pandemic. because with the delta variant we have 93,000 children who got infected more in the last week. and now kids are going back to

school. people are not using the same precautions as they were before, so i think we need to raise the level of urgency and really ask the question how much data are we looking for, what is the level of safety of the time period we need? definitely we want to make sure these vaccines are safe and effective, of course. we don't want any corners to be cut but we also need these vaccines pretty urgently, too. coming up next one girl's struggling with covid. the support she got from her mom and medical professionals. also word on how best to protect millions of kids iclike her. and later the implications of a judge's ruling today outlining how lawmakers will be able to get a look at the former president's taxes and what they might learn.

family, one child at a time. gary tuchman has more. >> reporter: a children's hospital in missouri and sitting on the couch is angel baker, a mother who has gone through a horrifying week. her 14-year-old daughter mar yawna tested positive for covid, got very sick and was put on oxygen for five days. angel says her daughter has received excellent treatment here at the cardinal glen children's hospital in st. louis. >> might make you cough but that's what we want. that was a good one. i warned you. good job. >> reporter: mariana and her mother live about 150 miles away in southern missouri. she started feeling ill at home. it quickly got worse. >> i was pancaking. monday, august 2nd i decided to take her to urgent care because she told me she couldn't breathe. >> reporter: the decision was made for mariana to be transported by ambulance to this children's hospital.

for mariana it was like a nightmare. >> it was very scary. >> reporter: when you saw her struggling to breathe with the oxygen, what was going through your mind? >> praying, asking god to bring her back, keep her safe. >> reporter: were you afraid she wasn't going to make it? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: the 40-year-old mother says she received the covid vaccine but says her daughter did not. why didn't she get the vaccine? >> i don't know. she -- i left it up to her and she decided she didn't want to get vaccinated. >> reporter: i don't mean to make you feel badly because you've gone through so much. my guess is and i'm making an educated guess that you wish you were insistent about her getting the vaccine. >> yes. >> reporter: there are currently children as young as 2 years old in the pediatric intensive care unit and regular patient rooms at this hospital. of course children under 12 cannot yet get the vaccine. last year at this time doctors here say the typical numbers of children with covid coming into the emergency room on a daily basis were zero, one orb or two.

now they say that daily number is usually 11, 12 or 13. the doctor is a pediatric infectious disease specialist at the hospital. >> we've seen more severe cases. we're seeing more cases in the icu and seeing more cases that require longer duration of treatment. >> reporter: the doctor is a surgeon medical doctor here. how many children who are ill with covid in this hospital have gotten the vaccine also? >> none. >> reporter: mariana has turned the corner and is looking forward to recouping at home and then being well enough to start her life as a high school freshman. she left us with this message. >> get a vaccine so you won't have to be in a hospital bed and

can't breathe. >> reporter: and her mother has one, too. >> please, parents, get vaccinated and get your kids vaccinated. it's real. don't let no school, no governor -- it's real. >> dgary, i understand there's been a development in the story. >> reporter: yeah, good news. mariana has been released from the hospital. she now will be able to recuperate at home. she's supposed to start high school a week from monday. she wasn't won't be able to go to high school just yet but her mother is hoping she'll be healthy enough to start school in september. mariana has a 12-year-old little sister. that 12-year-old little sister was also not vaccinated so angel was here with her older daughter mariana for the week but she went back to southern missouri where they live on friday and took her daughter to get vaccinated. >> gary tuchman, appreciate it. we wish them the best.

more now on how to prevent these cases, our next guest and his colleague recently presented the results at a study at north carolina schools. a distinguished professor of pediatrics at duke. dr. benjamin, i appreciate you being with us. i want to ask you about your study in a moment but as a pediatrician what do you say to kids who are choosing not to get vaccinated who are able to and what do you fell parents? >> for the kids i tend to talk about think about playing football like it's 2019 once again or think about a social lifelike it was 2019 to try and get them excited about the vaccine itself. her parents it's a much more concrete discussion. you're going to reduce the chances of long covid, of death, morbidity, hospitalization, more than 95%. you're going to essentially

drive all that to zero. it'll be safer than the flu. it'll be just like getting a cold. you'll want to get this done. and then i tell them my own experience when the pfizer trial first opened up for 12 to 15-year-olds my two youngest sons were two of the first children enrolled in that study, and i'm a firm believer in the efficacy of the vaccine. >> so the vaccines won't be available for kids under 12 before the end of 2021 according to the surgeon general. you studied over a million students and staff in north carolina. can you just tell us what you learned about how effective masks are in schools? because you had rand paul, you know, on you tube saying that cloth masks don't work. >> yes, that statement by dr. paul is incorrect. so it started in the fall and then we replicated the study during the winter surge. and through that time we showed that masking was preventing transmission of covid in schools. it drove it down to the point

where a child coming in with covid had a less than 1% chance of giving it to their peers or to a teacher. the north carolina developed bipartisan legislation to the credit of our governor and legislators that required schools to report their data to us at the abc science collaborative and put all children in the state eligible to be in school full time. over a million children and adults reported data to us every week through their schools by school infections from the community and school acquired. over 7,000 infections in the schools, 40,000 quarantines. but only 363 within school transmission, which again less than 1% chance of passing it onto your peers or to an adult. >> so that's extraordinary that you're saying a child with covid coming to a school but wearing a mask has a less than 1% chance

of giving it to another kid because of the mask? >> that's correct. that's the primary intervention. these schools didn't do widespread screening testing, they didn't do widespread ventilation changes. they simply had universal masking. they had very high compliance with that. we had substudies in several districts which showed a compliance rate greater than 90% in the mainstream curriculum and we're getting ready to submit that for publication later this month. but, yeah, the primary intervention masking. >> do you know what it would be without a mask, if a child with covid came to a location with covid but no mask, do you have a sense of what the likelihood of transmission would be? >> sure, the best data points that we have thus far are from israel back in 2020 where it was approximately 13 to 16% of the children and adults were

infected in a week without masking. and then in north carolina and in missouri we had a couple of school districts open up going with a voluntary masking policy. and those school districts had gone four or five days and through a combination partly the drama around quarantines and partly because of infections that are occurring in schools, they're going back to a masking policy. with the delta variant it's harder to know because we have so limited experience, but i would say well over 10%. >> you also looked at the risk of transmissions in sports and extracurricular activities. what did you find? >> so sports and extracurricular activities in high school and middle school, that's somewhere between 50 and 75% of the within school transmission is going to occur if you have universal masking in place. and the implications for that are that the extracurriculars

partly because of the intimacy with athletics or the arts or theater, the intimacy between children and the subsequent kind of leaks in mask compliance, if you will, result in a greater risk of infection in that setting. and the implications for that are that's an area where the school districts really can encourage and motivate children to vaccinate, and they can do so by policies where they say, okay, if you want to participate in football that's great, vaccinate or have regular testing done because you and your teammates and your opponents are at higher risk, have testing done a couple times a week. >> just finally and you may not have looked at this but just from what you believe or what you know if some parents are obviously facing a situation where there is not a mask mandate in the school, they want

their child to be masked but no one else in the classroom is masked. is it still effective for their own child to be masked if the other kids in the class are not? >> no, it's not sufficient. what parents want to do in that situation it helps a little bit probably to put the mask on one's own child. the big things to push for is to make sure that the schools are being ethical as it relates to quarantine policy, transparent in their communication around who's exposed, communicating to parents if their children are exposed and communicating publicly the number of infections in the children that they're harming by that policy. >> dr. benjamin, i appreciate it, thank you. >> thank you. just ahead another major legal decision about whether democrats can see the former president's tax returns. details on what democrats can finally see when we continue.

major legal decision that may put at least some of the former president's tax returns in the hands of democratic investigators in the house. something the former president and his lawyers have tried to prevent for years. a federal judge says they should be allowed access while preventing possible investigations of the emoluments clause which forbids foreign payments to a president. the committee has presented detail and substantial evidence president trump at least through his business interest likely received foreign payments through his presidency. so it was not a complete victory for democrats through the oversight committee the judge said they were only allowed tax records for while the former president was in office not stretching back through 2011. both sides suggested they may

appeal. more perspective now from norma eisen, a cnn legal analyst. you raised a red flag early on about the emoluments clause and you heard what a judge wrote. what do you make of where this has landed and what the judges have so far decided? >> anderson, thanks for having me back. i think it's important milestone on holding trump accountable. when you and i first started talking about emoluments in early 2017 we didn't imagine it would take this long but the rule of law is working. now finally congress is going to get ahold of his tax returns.

that's an issue for when he's president and we're going to see what the full extent of it was. i think we're going to have some pretty further shocking revelations just how much he was getting from foreign government. >> how big a deal is in this in your view because the judge said he can't see tax returns before he was president. does that make a big difference, do you think? >> i'm glad we got this. i would disagree with my friend norm a little bit in regards to whether or not it's a milestone because i just don't feel there's enough here. there's a lot of arbitrary boundaries around this that judge meta has said that house oversight can get trump's tax returns for 2017 and 2018 from his presidential tenure but didn't allow them to see 2019 and to get 2020 when those are prepared. that's per plexing to me if judge meta was restraining or constraining their purview in that regard.

he's saying, though, they can go back to get financial records for 2013 on trump's hotel in washington because that is possibly in excess of emoluments, which is a fancy 18th century word for bribery. we know there's a lot of foot traffic in that hotel from diplomats and lobbyists. there's no question the trump organization got foreign payments. the issue is whether or not that got tied to policy changes. so the larger issue is we still don't have enough transparency onto trump's finances. and there's still not a rule in place legislatively that will require all future presidents to have to disclose their tax returns. >> so norm, is that what investigators would have to prove, that people giving money to the hotel, that it was linked to then political outcomes or administration policy? >> well, anderson, for

congressional purposes these two lines of inquiry that the court allowed, the broader inquiry in time as to the old post office and the questions about emoluments are important to passing legislation. so for congressional purposes these records would matter. we would want to show that the constitution was trancegressors and there was bad practice on the old post office. but, anderson, these are the same records of trump's tax records while he's in office. the prosecutors in new york are looking at. and we know there are issues of tax fraud, insurance fraud, bank fraud. the judge considered michael cohen's testimony about trump's wrongdoing. congress is now going to get ahold of those. and with one set of charges already in place in new york, possible additional charges as i've written, trump's at

substantial risk and now congress closing in, i think that's a big deal. we could see more revelations of the kinds of two sets of books, fraud that got mr. weisselberg in trouble so far, and that's just starting. >> tim, what is the next step here? i mean in terms of -- based on what you know about the former president, your dealings with him, how much do you think this matters to him? and if it does is it because there's something there to hide or just nobody likes to have their returns looked out in public? >> it matters deeply because his tax returns would not only indicate how robust his business is but how much money he had coming from oversees and who possibly his partners were from overseas. to what extent tid his

interactions with vladimir putin or other dictators, how much were informed by his desire to pad his own wallet? i think this disclosure gets to that and he knows it. there's relationships he's had in the past he's concerned about. donald trump consorted with members of organized crime in new york city and the real estate market. there's a lot of dirt there he doesn't want to expose, doesn't want to be exposed. and i think if he wasn't concerned about these things he would have freely given those documents up. coming up next, the infrastructure bill made it through the senate. can it survive the house? the fight between modserates and progressives within the democratic party ahead. something like that...

the trillion dollar infrastructure bill faces a tough course to final passage. now if that sounds familiar it should. a day after the senate achieved something it couldn't under four years of the previous president the bill faces a tenuous course this time through the house. in part because of a separate budget resolution and a price tag that house modts have even balked at. to a key moderate in the senate joe manchin who's vote is crit criminal for final passage today he called the resolution quote, simply irresponsible. in the house the issues have led to a delicate balance with moderates demanding passage of the bipartisan infrastructure

bill before considering the far larger budget resolution progressives meanwhile say it has to be the other way around. joined now by the chair of the progressive caucus. congresswoman, thanks so much for being with us. what do you say to senator mantion's concerns about the prieg tag of this budget package, $3.5 trillion is certainly a lot. >> yeah, thank you, anderson, for having me on. and what i would say is that we are delivering on the vision that president biden laid out when he introduced the jobs and families plan back in january or february. this is what we promised to the american people. it's investments in roads and bridges. it's child care. it's paid leave. it's free community college. it's health care. these are critical pieces that we need to deliver on because americans want not just their roads and bridges, they want child care so they can get back to work. so this is -- we've always seen them as, you know, together. these two things have to go together.

we would have of course loved it if it was one big package but we're going to deliver them both together to the president. >> the $3.5 trillion again a lot of money. if you need the democratic moderates most notably mantion and keirristen sinema. >> the reality is joe manchin's vote is important and everyone ow of our progressive members votes is important. this is a time we have to come together and pass the president's agenda. let me just be clear 3.5 is not just a number that was pulled out randomly it was a number we need if we're going to deliver on these priorities. and remember, anderson, we're not talking about all the tax, you know, the tax fairness pieces that are going to be in this package at the end which generate enormous amounts of money from the wealthiest individuals and biggest corporations to pay for these

investments in working families lives so they can wake up and have a better future. >> are you concerned about the level of trust or lack of trust between the progressive and moderate wings of the democratic party? cnn is reporting house democratic moderates are considering withholding their support unless the speaker brings the senate's bipartisan infrastructure bill up first. she said in a move she won't consider the bill unless they push through the reconciliation packagech. >> i'm not concerned about trust. i'm just concerned about momentum and making sure we deliver everything together. there are going to be things in the bipartisan bill that progressives don't like. there are going to be things in the reconciliation bill that moderates don't like. but, listen, we're a big team. we ran on and won the house, the senate and the white house on a vision that got laid out. these two are integrally intertwined. we can't create jobs and stop

history. it delivered money in peoples pockets, shots in arms. i'm not sure there are a lot of republicans that are looking out for their constituents interests, but, listen, we're happy with the bipartisan bill. we're going to deliver on what the democrats said. we're going to deliver on president biden's agenda. >> appreciate it. thank you very much. >> thank you, anderson. ahead another gop lawmaker in trouble for spreading covid misinfers on social media. the question is will the punishment matter in the fight to stop the spread of misinformation? that's next. ♪ ♪ ♪ hey google, turn up the heat. ♪ ♪ ♪

tonight baseless claims of covid catching up with them. rapid paul's youtube channel is suspended for a week after his account claimed masks aren't effective. that came tuesday, the same time

marjory taylor green was dismissed. by this time next weekend, both will have access. neither of them are charged with being spreaders of false information. sullivan is with me now. what rand paul said was about cloth masks being not effective? >> that's right, anderson. we heard there was that marjory taylor green was saying that vaccines are failing whereas rand paul was suggesting that cloth masks were not working. what happened was they both got a seven-day suspension from these platforms, but of course, you know, this is barely scratching the surface of the real problem. this will get headlines. it will get attention. the platforms also say they are cracking down on covid misinformation. but we know many of the super

spreaders of misinformation about this virus are still on these platforms and are still out there spreading, you know, very dangerous misinformation about the vaccine and about the virus and of course these temporary suspensions can actually work out well for republicans. they can fund raise off of it. they can say this is a case of silicon valley's bias against them rather than silicon valley cracking down on dangerous covid information. >> you've talked to trump supporters about misinformation. what are you hearing? >> yeah, that's right. one thing that is quite striking, anderson, is even though trump, you know, rightly can take some credit for this vaccine, many, many of his supporters, people who follow him, will litly almost do anything for him, love the guy, for them the vaccine is a red line. have a listen. have you been vaccinated? >> no. >> why not? >> not going to.

>> any particularly reason. >> god gave us natural immunities toefrg. why would you want to interfere? >> you're an older man than i am. you're probably in the -- you're in the risk category. >> well, who come up with that? >> the scientists and the doctors. >> who told them to say that? >> the doctors, the scientists. >> it ain't a trump vaccine. he did it to please everybody that put the pressure on him. >> he got the shot himself. >> who said? he got fixed up. >> he got the shot. >> i don't think he got the shot. i think he got some stuff to make him better. >> and i think this is really telling, anderson, right, because i think this is an example of the base sort of controlling trump, trump has been very, very quiet about the vaccine in many ways. you know, even we didn't learn that he got the vaccine until well after he'd left the white

house, because i think he knows that by pushing this vaccine, by encouraging his supporters to get it, that he could alienate that base. we are here in south dakota and we were speaking to that gentleman at a three-day event by the my pillow ceo mike lindell. who has come to south dakota to try to prove his so far baseless claims that the election was hacked by china and stolen from trump. we will have more details on that tomorrow night, but i can tell you as of now, we're into this three-day convention and we haven't seen any evidence to support lindell's claims. >> well, enjoy the next day or two. appreciate it. want to hear more of what you find. join cnn later this month for a star filled celebrations as new york tries to wind down from the pandemic. bruce spring seen, paul simon, many more taking part.
