muck. eric: right now dozens are reported dead after a powerful earthquake rocked haiti this morning. that quake centered about 93 miles west of the capital of port-au-prince in a country that has suffered so much for so long. hello, everyone, welcome to "fox news live," i'm eric shawn. arthel: hello, everyone, i'm arthel neville. the u.s. geological survey says the quake was measured at magnitude 7.2. officials say it was bigger and more shallow than the 7.0 tremors that devastated haiti back in 2010.

we have fox team coverage. alex hogan is standing by with reaction from a haitian community in new york city. fox weather meteorologist adam klotz is live, but we first go to ryan chilcote live with what we know so far about that earthquake. ryan. >> reporter: hi, arthel. well, haiti just a country that can't catch a break, can it? this earthquake, as you said, had a mag magnitude of 7.2. that's a big quake. it occurred about 5 miles off the haitian coastline, about 90 miles from the capital of haiti. and at a depth of about 10,000 meters, that's 6 miles beneath the surface. that is actually a relatively hallow depth for an earthquake like this. and when you have an earthquake like this, two immediate concerns. the first, that you could have a tsunami at a depth like that. now, the u.s. did issue a tsunami warning but then lifted

that, and anecdotal local reports we have is that there was some coastal flooding in at least one town, but then the water appears to have retreated, so good news there. the second danger, and this appears to be a much larger problem, is, of course, the damage the quake can do on the island itself. it was felt in the capital, as you were saying, 90 miles away. in fact, many people immediately ran outdoors out of concern that the buildings they were in might collapse, and there does appear to be some pretty significant damage in the capital. but just tattoo early to say how -- too early to say how extensive. fatalities now stand at at least 29, but all of this very preliminary, the numbers will change. everyone is already comparing this earthquake to the devastating quake that hit haiti 11 years ago. that earthquake killed approximately or an estimated 300,000 people, it left tens of thousands more homeless. now, the concern with this quake is that -- and you'll be hearing

more about this later -- a tropical storm is set to hit the island on monday. if you have major structural damage, you could easily end up with an aftermath that is as dangerous as the original quake. president biden has authorized an immediate response, and he'ae administrator in charge of us ark id, in charge of that response and that, of course, indicates the u.s. already sees a major reconstruction effort needed for haiti. eric: i can take it back near new york. haitian-americans in the u.s. a anxious for word of their loved ones after that earthquake. haiti, as you may know, shares hispaniola with the dominican republic. alex hogan in the center of new york's haitian-american community. >> reporter: i was able to speak with many people this

morning already about what they experienced, one woman in creole telling me he woke up, immediately calling her family, and they are all right. another man says his relatives live in port a awe prince, the capital, and he was shocked to learn that they were able to feel that earthquake, again, 90 miles from where it struck this morning. a 7.2-magnitude earthquake that struck this morning alonging the little town of -- [inaudible] another woman telling us that her family actually called her explaining the destruction so far. >> still trying to, like, communicate with us to find out exactly what's going on, but i know they said the whole village is destroyed. the churches fell down, everything. >> reporter: it was 11 years ago, back in 2010, when the devastating 7.1 earthquake in haiti killed, again, hundreds of thousands of people. here in new york mayor bill deblahs are owe responding, we are working with community leaders to get immediate help to

haiti, we're keeping our haitian neighbors in new york and on the island in our thoughts and prayers. leticia james reacting, quote, we must do all that we can to support the haitian people both in the immediate aftermath of this earthquake and in the months to come. my thoughts and prayers are with the people of haiti and here in new york. again, people in this haitian community here in new york say for the most part, everyone i've talked with, that they have been able to contact their relative, but their fear is what the destruction and the damage will look like in some of the areas. the prime minister there announcing that there will be a state of emergency in haiti for at least a month because of this earthquake. eric? eric: all right, alex, thanks so much. arthel: and, of course, we wish the best for the people of hay she under -- haiti, and this latest disaster comes as they are also bracing for tropical storm grace which is expected to hit the island on tuesday before florida later next week. meantime, the florida keys getting a lot of wet weather as

tropical depression fred moves through. the storm could regain strength as it heads north towards the panhandle. fox weather meteorologist adam cloths is tracking both storms, and he's now live with more. adam. adam: hi, arthel. yeah, haiti in between the two storms you just mentioned. we've got tropical storm fred or the remnants of it out in front, and back behind that system is going to be grace, something they're going to be dealing with there in the next couple of days. i am going to begin with fred as this is approaching the united states in the next couple of days. that low purchase system has slowed down and fallen apart, even the rain still well away from haiti at this point, so it is grace they're going to have to be concerned with. as far as what we are concerned about with fred, it's going to be a little bit of a rainmaker, 6-8 inches particularly on the west coast of florida and then getting into the panhandle as it looks as though this won't be making landfall until we get into monday as it lifts new the

gulf of mexico. that is when we'll be tracking possibly a late monday landfall along the panhandle, perhaps panamaty beach, fort walton beach, in that area. tropical storm grace still spinning back off towards the west -- excuse me, the east of the island. 45 miles an hour winds, it's going to have more time to strengthen. late monday into tuesday is the time when we'd be crossing the dominican republic and haiti. still a little bit of indecision with these possible model graphics. as you see, some of these taking it to the south, others to the north, but it's something that looks as though it's going to pass close are enough that the island's going to feel it, and that's something we'll be with pa paying attention to next couple of days. arthel: a indeed. thank you, adam. eric: for more on the haitian earthquake, let's bring in the dean professor of science at the university of southern california. professor, welcome. first of all, what stands out for you about the location of

this earthquake, what you hear about it and what causes such a quake? >> well, it's not surprising. it's similar to the one we had ten years ago, and these tectonic faults periodically have earthquakes. it's unlucky, but it's not a shock, and it's the tectonic plates moving. there's a fault that runs right through the dominican, right through haiti, and we've known about it for quite a while. and, you know, the impact will depend on just where the very strongest shaking hit. and the earthquakes break and throw their strong shaking one becks the direction or another. -- direction or the other. this one seems to have thrown it to the west. but we're hoping the towns were not on soft ground that amplifies with poor construction. but initial indications don't look good. eric: you talk about the tectonic plates. can you describe that in more detail and the fact that the fault is there, is that similar to like the san andreas fault? >> yeah, very similar.

it's what we call the ground moving sideways. one side of the fault is close to the other, and it's the same thing we worry about with los angeles, san francisco, even seattle has same kind of faults. the shallow faults are close to the surface, and because they're close, they shake the ground more, and they can get very strong shaking that lasts 10-20 second. it's hard to build for that, and we know for experience haiti's buildings don't perform well under that test. eric: this was a 7.2, 6 miles deep, aftershocks 5.2. describe what that means. >> well, it -- not only is the main shock of this earthquake wreaking a lot of destruction, but people in the area are going to be rattled by aftershocks for certainly days, probably weeks and months. and there's always a chance, a 1 out of 20 chance of a earthquake as big or bigger in the next couple weeks. the small chances but things

people have to be ready for. eric: wow. is there any way to have a warning? do they have any type of warning system, do you know? do we have any type of warning system here in our country? >> we're building an earthquake early warning system, and it really just provides a few seconds of warning because we can't predict the earthquakes. we've been trying for a hundred years and we can see vaguely levels of danger going up and down a little bit, but we don't get warning of specific earthquakes ahead of time. once it starts, we can get anywhere from 1 to 10-20 seconds of warning in order to have situational awareness, and that would reduce the impact so much. there's nothing like that in haiti. eric: yeah. that country has suffered so much for so many decades. the recent assassination of its president, the property, the dire straits now even worse. professor, thank you for joining us. >> oh, my pleasure.

eric: arthel? ♪ arthel: thanks, eric. and now to the other headline this weekend, afghanistan continues to crumble. the taliban seizing two more provinces and a key northern city today, tightening their noose around the capital. they've a taken some two-thirds of afghanistan with stunning speed as u.s. and allied troops are withdrawn. but now thousands of u.s. marines have returned to kabul not to fight, but to get americans and afghans out. back in washington the finger-pointing over who lost afghanistan is in full swing. kevin corke is live at the white house now with more. kevin. >> reporter: we thought it would be a relatively quiet day here at the white house, arthel. but earlier morning the president and the vice president held a secure video conference with the national security team. among the major administration officials joining that call, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the national security adviser, and they were joined by the secretaries of state and defense, and they discussed the

ongoing efforts to draw could be our civilian -- draw down our civilian footprint in afghanistan. and yet with everything we've seen happening, so much has actually changed. just this july when president biden said this about a possible taliban takeover of the country, now that the u.s. is pulling out. >> there's going to be no circumstance you're going to see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy of the united states from afghanistan. it is not at all comparable. the likelihood there's going to be the taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely. >> reporter: you heard the president mention this idea of helicopters evacuating people off rooftops. that was in reference to some suggestions that this might be a fall of saigon redux. but as they say, that was then and this is now. with large swaths of the country effectively under taliban control, obviously there are many other areas, arthel, that are being contested.

that threat now extending all the way to kabul. a calamitous outcome, say critics, especially after trillions of dollars and white thousands of lives lost. >> it is all on president biden's shoulders. this rapid and haphazard withdrawal of american troops, of course, before we knew that our embassy would be safe is, before we had our afghan interpreters and other friends out of afghanistan. to allow it to fall like this without any sort of plan or recourse, it is shameful. >> reporter: iowa senator joni ernst right there. meanwhile, while we haven't heard directly from anyone on camera today, i did want to share this for perspective from the white house's point of view, this from jen psaki on friday. she said the president is firmly focused on how we can continue to execute an orderly drawdown and protect our men and women serving in afghanistan. you heard him earlier this week, he does not regret his decision.

the president, arthel, will be at camp david until wednesday and, of course, he is expected to get briefings every day on what's happening in afghanistan until he makes his way back here. back to you for now. arthel: all right. kevin corke, thank you very much. eric? eric: with security in afghanistan seemingly getting worse by hour, that second contingent of u.s. marines, we're told, has arrived in kabul to help evacuate the embassy. more troops are expected to arrive tomorrow, a total of about 3,000 marines, 3,500 additional troops standing by in kuwait if needed. the deployment raising questions about whether the biden administration will meet the deadline to withdraw all u.s. forces by the end of the month. president trump wanted them out last may. lucas tomlinson live in our washington bureau with more on that. >> reporter: hi, eric. just moments ago afghanistan's fourth largest city has fallen to the taliban according to the alliance. it was the first defeat of the

taliban in 2001 thanks to u.s. special forces riding on horseback and linking up with the northern alliance. today, just moments ago, that city's back in taliban hands coming full circle from 20 years ago. this as the secondaway of u.s. marines have -- wave of u.s. marines have arrived with full combat load. they're hitting the taliban outside kabul where fears are that the capital could fall any day now. >> clearly, from their actions, it appears as if they are trying to get kabul isolated. >> reporter: looking at a marine corps ch-47 helicopter right here, preparing for a full evacuation and closure of the embassy if, eric, the state department orders it. sensitive documents being destroyed at the diplomatic compound n. a speech to his nation, afghan president ashraf talibanny vowed not to give up over what he called the achievements of the past 20 years.

the taliban have kabul surrounded. like we said, the largest city up north just fell moments ago. the u.s. spent over $85 billion on the afghan army in the past 20 years. officials say it has crumbled. 3,000 troops will be in place, a month ago the has 2,500 troops on ground in afghanistan, now roughly the same number rushing back because of the deteriorating security situation. the pentagon insists afghan forces still hold upper hand. you said the afghan forces have the advantage. what proof do you offer? >> the resistance that they have faced has been insufficient the stop those, to check those advances. it does not mean, cat, that the advantages -- lucas, that the advantages aren't still this. >> reporter: senate minority leader mitch mcconnell wants the u.s. to ramp up airstrikes, some veterans want to pull americans out and level the embassy. it's looking most likely the embassy will close when the u.s.

military mission is complete on august 31st. eric? eric: lucas, thanks so much is. so will the after afghan force hold out, or will the taliban take kabul and the whole country, and could this have been prevented? coming up i'll ask a member of the house foreign affairs committee about that. arthel: also in progress, the migrant surge at the southern border breaking records in the month of july. even president biden's homeland security chief calling the situation, quote, unsustainable. but saying that only behind closed doors. we're live on the border with the latest coming up next. ♪♪ ugh, there's that cute guy from 12c. -go talk to him. -yeah, no. plus it's not even like he'd be into me or whatever. ♪♪ ♪ this could be ♪ hi. you just moved in, right? i would love to tell you about all the great savings you can get

facilities are going to remain pretty crammed. and, remember, they remain pretty crammed amid what is a growing number of covid-19 infections among the migrants. eric in. eric: it seems almost routine. jon than, thank you. arthel? arthel: right now we're going to bring in brandon judd for more on this, president of the national border patrol council. and, brandon, as you well know, the federal government sets immigration policy and enforces immigration laws. now, the pentagon press secretary john kirby says about 3,000 national guard troops will be deployed to the southern border until september of next year. so is i ask you, in addition, can congress arrange a partnership, if you will, between the federal and state and local policing agencies to give the local ares more law enforcement -- locals more law enforcement capabilities even if it's temporary or to allocate more funding so the local agencies can hire more

personnel? >> they absolutely can. you can bring people in, and you can create task forces. in fact, we have task force on the border where we work in conjunction with local law enforcement. the problem is we can apprehending as many people as we want, we can with take them into custody, but if we continue to release them, if we continue to reward them for violating our laws, they're going to continue to come. the only thing in that we're doing right now is we are a steppingstone into the united states. they come in, they cross the board illegally, they claim asylum, we release them. that's that magnet that's drawing so many people here. again, it's great that we have more people on the border, it's great that we have national guard coming, it's great that we have a local partnership. but if we don't enforce our laws, if we don't have a consequence for violating our laws, people are going to continue to come. arthel: yeah. and to your point, secretary mayorkas also telling border patrol agents that i.c.e. has a renewed focus, to prevent

no-shows at immigration court which, as you know, means keeping the title 42 in place which would kick out nearly all single adults and many families without the chance to seek asylum. would this be helpful at least until you gain control at the border? >> it would. if we're actually applying a consequence to violating our laws, then, yes, that's what's going to drop all legal immigration. but when they say that they're going to do this, their actions don't match their words. when you look at we had 212 apprehensions, and of those, we released over 83,000 people. when you release that number of people, when you're constantly releasing approximately 40% of the people that are crossing the border illegally, more people are going to come. so, again, you can't apply the rules to some people and then excuse other people. they've given way too many carveouts so people are exploiting the loopholes that this administration giving them. arthel: you're talking about

212,000 apprehensions in july. that was, like, a 33% increase over june. right now i want to look at some more southern border apprehensions in the last four fiscal years. 2018, about 521,000, 2019, 977,000. 2020, 458,000. 2023, a little more than 1.3 million. so what about the processing system, brandon? i mean, do you need more judges to unclog the immigration courts >> so is it really doesn't matter if we don't have judges. if we don't hold them in custody, they're not going to hope is show up to court. -- they're not going to show up to court. when you look at the process this administration's put into place, if you can't go after those people who don't show up to court, you've got to remember, a warrant for their arrest is issued, but this administration said they're not going to take people into custody unless they have a serious felony on their record.

the vast majority don't have a seriou a warrant is is completely broken, but it's broken because we're not properly enforcing the laws. the rule of law is not being applied, and as long as that's not being applied, people are going to continue to come. all we're getting is rhetoric. that's it. we're not getting any actual programs or policies. it's helping us secure the border. arthel: really, really quickly, clearly you pointed out some, in your estimation, some glaring mistakes. what is the most meet fix that if you're -- immediate fix, what can they do right now to help you, brandon? really quickly, please. >> you must hold everybody into custody. if you're not going to expel them under title 42, those

83,000 people that were released, you must hold them pending their deportation or asylum proceedings. if you did that, the number of people would drop because the vast majority don't have a legitimate claim. once they go through the court system, they're going to be deported. when that happens, nobody comes. we saw that under president trump. we don't need to recreate the wheel, we just need to do what's necessary. arthel: brandon judd, national border patrol council president. thank you very much. >> thank you. arthel: eric? eric: arthel, with the future of afghanistan hanging in the balance, the country's president makes his first television since the taliban began conquering provinces in this country. next, what he said about the hard-earned gains of the past 20 years and whether the biden administration can do more to stop the taliban takeover. ♪♪ at usaa, we've been called too exclusive.

arthel: we will mark 20 years since the attacks of september 11th next month, and in a new terror warning, the department of homeland security says that solemn anniversary could inspire a new wave of extremist violence in the u.s. with some threats coming from right here at home. david spunt is live in washington with more. >> reporter: hi, arthel. this is the bulletin yesterday put out by the secretary of homeland security. it's two pages, it extends for several months, and it's telling americans to be on alert leading up to the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks buttal for several months after that -- but also for several months after that. specifically by homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas. he mentioned religious holidays in and around september 11th that could cause, as what he calls a catalyst for violence. domestic terrorists may be influenced by foreign terrorists via different online forums. part of the dhs bulletin reads

law enforcement have expressed concerns that the broader sharing of conspiracy theories and false narratives will gain traction in mainstream environments resulting in individuals or small groups embracing violent tactics to achieve their desired to objectives. it continues, such threats are also exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing pandemic including grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions. >> you can certainly warn about the anniversary of 9/11. i think people are always very mindful about that and mindful about certain attacks that could occur around that anniversary. but once you start talking about covid measures and other things in that bulletin, i begin to believe it waters it down. >> reporter: arthel, homeland security officials would argue that it's important to mention the word covid in some of those mitigation measures just for the mere reason that that is causing some of those tensions and may

be a catalyst for some potential future violence. this bulletin goes, it says right here, until november 11, 2021 is, at 2 p.m. eastern time, but i'm told it could always be extended should there be more threats in the future. arthel: david spunt, thank you very much, david. >> reporter: sure. >> these soldiers and marines that are fully kitted out putting on night vision goggles, landing in kabul, taking positions at airport, they're going to a combat zone, are they not? >> they're certainly going into harm's way, lucas -- [inaudible conversations] lucas, they will have the right of self-dependence. they will be armed. eric: that is fox news' pentagon correspondent lucas tomlinson asking john kirby about the u.s. sending thousands of troops back to afghanistan to help evacuate staff members from the american embassy in kabul. the taliban, of course, began seizing control of large parts of the country recently taking over the country's fourth

largest city. that means the loss of the whole northern part of the country has now been ceded to the taliban. this after the u.s. and nato allies began withdrawing troops just over a month ago with deadline looming at the end of the month. what comes next? congressman tim buy shed of tennessee joins us. congressman, what is your prediction for what will come next? >> total capitulation unless our biden white house wakes up and realizes what's going on. i don't know, they're at camp david plague corn hole -- playing corn hole with hunter -- eric: well, that's not really fair to say. the president is meeting with advisers -- >> yeah, but he has been on the wrong side diplomatically of everything from bin laden, let's go through the history of his service. this is the wrong way to go

about this. they should have been having these meetings weeks ago, if not months ago, and is we're to going to be get a lot of innocent people killed. treasured be possibly some limited -- there should be possibly some limited airstrikes to provide support for our troops. you're putting a marines and servicemen in harm's way, and i think it's just a total capitulation. then you have the press, his own press secretary asking the taliban to, you know, to be international players. i don't know what the heck that's supposed the mean. they're terrorists, they're thugs. we've known this. they go through theseville isages and murder their leaders and rape the women that are in there and the children, and they have a history with this. and i think we're getting ready to see a real taste of it with the northern province falling, i think they're just backing out right now. eric: what do you think we should have done? apparently, we were told they'd have air support, the after a gans would have air support, but

they've got to fly from the persian gulf. >> well, first of all, i think we need to hold some people accountable, and that's pakistan. i suspect their hands are involved in this with taliban. i think the plan should have been all along that we should not have had hard dates are released because that allows our enemies to know where and when to be. we didn't learn anything from sigh gone, i mean vietnam, and this is just a repeat of out -- saigon. it's poor planning on our administration's part, and it just continues to show the lack of diplomacy that they have. you know, the trump administration, that was kind of the rub on them, they didn't have diplomacy, they didn't have those skills, but they sure -- you never saw is anything like this happening. you had cocky actors like soleimani and some of his folks, and they, they're no longer with us, and i think that's something that we should be taking full advantage of inted of putting americans and people that were

loyal to us in harm's way. i think it sends a horrible message across the border. eric: pointing out that president biden is following president trump, i mean, his administration, because it was the former president who hammered out this deal, announced a withdrawal. the former president wanted our troops out by may. you know, they had that in the negotiations, the so-called peace negotiations with the taliban in doha. do you think that it would -- that was where a lot of the foundation for this was built. in terms of getting out. and the president, former president called it a wonderful thing. what do you think would have been done differently, do you think, and specifically what should have been done differently? keep the 2,500 troops there? >> yeah. i think we would have had the military support primarily through air power. that seem to be the biggest complaint right now, there's no support whatsoever. and when we're having a withdrawal are of american forces, we're sending over 3,000 marines in into harm's way, into

a combat zone. you heard the president's people saying just that just moments before i was on the our. so i think that was, that's crucial. that's a crucial error that's going to cost a lot of american lives. and also the, if you've seen the amount of american armament that our enemies now had been. eric: yeah, they're stealing them. just grabbing them. >> well, yeah, and a lot of the wars we, after the second world war we took a lot of them,ing we threw them in the ocean or we blew 'em up, things like that. and so now here we are, our enemies are going to be turning right around and using our high-tech armament on our own people. eric: yep, that's probably on its way to tehran right now to be copied. congressman burchett of tennessee -- and someone else back there -- >> yeah, i got dogs there. they're hunters.

arthel: the cdc has approvedded covid boosters for those with weakened immune systems. that means millions of americans are now eligible for a third dose of the pfizer or moderna shots. the cdc recommendation mirrors a similar decision from the fda. cdc director dr. rochelle walensky said is, quote, while people who are immunocompromised make up about 3% of the u.s.

adult population, they are especially vulnerable to covid-19 because they are more at risk of serious, prolonged illness. let's bring in dr. rita fisher, specialist in internal medicine and me patrolling which focuses on the -- me patrolling which focuses on the kidneys. who is inebb corporated in the category of immunocompromised? >> hi, arthel. the people are patients who have been taking chemotherapy or they have a solid tumor or leukemia, also patients who have received transplants and who are taking money to suppress their immune system, patients with hiv if the hiv is not advantaged are also eligible, and this is some other syndromes like primary immunodeficiency e system and also if people have had a spleen removed, they may be eligible as well. but it's patients who have suppressed immune systems and

who, we believe, never mounted the proper response with just the two doses of the mrna vaccination. arthel: okay, thank you for that. i want to show everyone a tweet from the director of scripps. it says, quote: we still don't know to what extent boosters will prevent delta infections, but we're seeing the start of booster mania, people going to drugstores lying about their vaccination status with imminent full fda approval, doctors can prescribe them for anyone. now, there's news because today "the new york times" is reporting that the biden administration is planning to offer vaccine boosters this fall, perhaps october. by way, they'll put nursing home residents and health care workers at the front of the the line. is what is your take on getting a third shot? >> getting a third shot, i do believe ultimately, will be inevitable. even in healthy people. we believe that eventually, eventually the immune system

response to the initial vaccination doses will wane. we do have some studies, some israeli data and mayor clinic data that shows us that with the pfizer and moderna vaccinations, the effectiveness is decreasing, and it's decreasing in phaser more so that in moderna. but, arthel, here's the important point. even though people who are post-vaccination, even pulley vaccination, can still get the infection, they are still not diagnose or being hospitalized. we still know that over 99.99% of fully vaccinated people are not dying and not being hospitalized. so while i believe, and i definitely want to follow the science, that ultimately a third dose will be needed, for right now as far as the data shows us, if you are a healthy western person with a good immune system, you don't need your third dose yet, and i want people to just be patient and follow the science. arthel: as i said, they're

reporting that physicians are looking to offer the third shot to everyone come this fall -- the biden administration. we'll see how that unfolds. and i'm not even going to ask you if you know if it's going to be that's it because, again, the science hasn't been proven yet, so we'll move on to something else that's happening now because you are certified in pediatrics. so i want to talk to you about this. what are you hearing from parents with school-aged children who are old enough to get vaccinated? what are you telling them? and also, what's your advice to parents with children too young to get vaccinated but also looking to return to in-person learning? >> parents are scared in general, and they really should be. so for parents with children over the age of 12, we know that if you are over the age of 12, you are eligible to get the vaccination. i'm telling them that the vaccinations are safe and that the vaccinations will not harm your child's fertility, they

will not cause magnets on the arm or any of these other bits of misinformation that have been going around. the vaccinations are stay. often we find that the children who are over the age of 12 who are unvaccinated are increasing as far as the hospitalizations, and we even have patients who have been admitted to the irk cu who are young children -- icu. so if your child is over 12, you definitely should protect child with that vaccination. it's safe is. [inaudible conversations] arthel: pardon me. i'm up against a hard break. i think people want to know this, yes or no, is it dangerous or harmful for children to wear masks for extended hours while at school? yes or no, dangerous, harmful? >> no, it is not dangerous. what is dangerous is for them to be exposed to the delta variant. arthel: got it. doctor, thank you very much, and we will be right back after this break. that i should get used to people staring.
