east >> it is not the first time with this window. it's a pretty large window. it was pretty traumatizing. >> reporter: taylor has seen úthis before, the front window of her business was shattered in the wake of a peaceful protest in downtown oakland. it happened friday night as shown in these pictures that were provided to us. one of many businesses was vandalized up and down broadway. for her, it was the first day she reopened her store in a year. >> we are here trying to operate our business is in the midst of a pandemic. you know, so it is very unfortunate. >> reporter: this is completely unacceptable. the mayor says police are trying to identify vandals through social media videos. while oakland is so proud and is always going to support peaceful protest and expression of free speech that when groups march after dark, there are people that have planted themselves inside crowds intent on doing destruction and violence. >> reporter: the new vandalism comes as oakland and other

cities await a verdict in the derek chauvin murder trial in minneapolis. >> i'm going to be calling r mayor, our city attorney, city and minister, police chief, so we can be informed and make a plan to ensure that oak winters can be safe.be safe.be safe.be . >> reporter: as they deal with property losses, many business owners in oakland are sympathetic to the larger cause, and they worry the actions of a few might detract from the larger message. >> we are fighting for justice, right? we are in support of that. i think it is a plot against that. >> reporter: in laura -- oakland, laura anthony. >> we can download the abc7 news app about breaking news when it happens. we can send a pushert when anun > ving of toy's corovis, ca's sev-y ate isowownnown

alejandra was in the icu fighting for his life. >> the doctors mentioned, you know, you are 50-50. i was in -- laying on , in hopes, you know, i could get some oxygen in. >> reporter: two months ago, he was finally vaccinated. >> i think after six hours of vaccination is when i started feeling weak, body aches -- i had a slight fever. >> did it take you back to what you went through with covid? >> it did. the body aches were a rough. one of the first symptoms i developed was body aches. i couldn't get up, i . >> reporter: that memory is key and what doctors believe could be the reason why some people who have had covid have had robust side effects to the first dose of the vaccine. >> the initial response primes the immune system and then you

have a more vigorous response after re-exposure. > reporter: dr. dean was low is a stanford professor and advisor to the cdc. he says body aches and a slight fever are normal side effects to the vaccine. people who've had cohad coha experience this sooner. >> reporter: what is it the vaccine has that the body detects or remembers as covid? >> when people have natural infection with sars cody two, which is the virus which covid-19, you get a broad antibody response as well as what is referred to as a cellular immune response, that is t cells and macrophages are all activated as well.as well.a. >> reporter: at ucsf, he is set to begin a study of 600 people. after they have been fully vaccinated, part of the study will determine if prior infection leads to a stronger immune response. >> reporter: at present, people who have not been exposed or eposed previously are showing

efficacy of the 90 percentile, right? it is 93% protection, so, you know, whether prior exposure perfection gets you the rest of the way like the rest of the way is unknown. >> reporter: for alejandra,for , sde effects were gone after 36 hours. doctors say that normal side effects are expected to dissipate after 2 to 3 days. il mandatory right now in california, but for how long? we are following that part of the story and when it is time to lift the outdoor mask mandate. liz? >> reporter: hi, kristin. so many people are walking and running by on the embarcadero wearing their masks as they should be, as we start to reopen, when might we be able to ease this mask mandate?

the question is, when when when be able to do it, too? >> reporter: as california makes progress in the fight against covid-19, discussion is going about if or when it is time to lift the outdoor mask mandate. in israel where 50% of the population is fully vaccinated, the outdoor mask mandate was lifted over the weekend. in recent columns, the atlantic asked if it is time to do same thing here. local health experts are conflicted. >> no, absolutely not. there is too much going on. >> reporter: and infectious disease specialist says it is premature for california 32% of people are fully vaccinated to even be having this conversation. >> at this point in time, we have a lot of people

unvaccinated, there is still 2500 cases a day in california -- new cases a day in california -- it seems to be a prudent thing to continue. >> reporter: dr. monica gandhi has a different perspective. she thinks it is time to reconsider outdoor mask mandates even low transmission rates for outside activities. >> there is a lot of data, especially -- you have to be fair over the last six months to show the risk of outdoor transmission is very low. in fact, there was a study china s atonin tr00 ansmissions franpeople we toiditis e tomandthese friendwhoswe >> if you are in a place crowded, you should wear a mask. >> yeah, i think they should keep it for a while, maybe a month or two, we will get more people vaccinated. >> reporter: so when might dr. rutherford feel comfortable out lifting the mask mandate? >> once we get to 60% fully vaccinated, we can start to consider it. we have to see how it goes with the big push to get done by

june 15th. >> reporter: and we did reach out to the california department of public health to ask if they are considering lifting the mask mandate. a spokesperson didn't answer the specific question, but did seem to suggest that no changes will be made to any mask mandate until june 15th when the state reopens, so keep on wearing those masks even outside. live in san francisco, abc7 news. that's a good reminder because some of us want to rip those masks off. we also have another member of the vaccine team. he is live with us, today. let's start with those masks. how do you think we should continue wary them, like i mentioned, mask fatigue israel? >> it is real. once again, i am right in the middle of the two previous infectious disease experts

that i do not think that it is time to completely lift the outdoor mask mandate, you know, kind of leading what torts dr. gandhi was mentioning, i think it's about evaluating, to add transparency and a goal for people out there saying hey, when we reach a certain number, go ahead and take those masks off when we are outdoors. there's a little bit of an inconsistency which i dimension. we can go to an outdoor restaurant and sit on the patio and you can potentially be around eight other tables filled with people who are not wearing masks and are all kind of in close proximity to one another but then as we just saw, you know, you can be on the embarcadero and there is still a requirement to wear masks so what would you do -- tell people not to wear a mask that if you happen to go to the farmers market or go to a crowded outdoor work area and go back on? there's a little bit of inconsistency i see, there, but i did get a little premature right now given rates, given the fact that we need to post -- boost vaccination numbers -- we need to have a conversation about what we are doing. >> you bring up a good point. the incentivizing of wearing masks can be really effective. i do want to talk to you quickly about vaccines as well because there has been a lot of chatter about this, are side effects really worse in women

and younger people? >> well, that's kind of what the data is showing. i can't give you a biophysical description and say this is the rule and they always will be worse, but according to data from the cdc, they reporting side effects in women and younger individuals and this is likely because of a more robust immune response in these people. your immune system gets a little weaker -- not to a detriment, but a little weaker as you get older, and you know what, people need to understand is that it's totally expected. if you imagine your first shot being your immune system building up your rna, the second shot is putting on more troops and getting ready for the frontline which is why you have a bigger immune response after the second shot, that may also be why people who previously had covid-19 the experience side effects after their first shot but i think the important thing is that they are expected, we call this vaccine reactioncity, we call this to prepare for fatigue if

you need to stay watching netflix not working, more power to you, they will go away, and they are a lot better than actually getting covid-19 or spreading it to someone who may be high-risk -- >> we know what's going to happen the benefits outweigh the risk -- i have to ask you was drinking water a good idea -- that was a recommendation to me to lessen side effects. >> anything you can to lessen the stress on your body, that includes drinking water or alcohol -- you know, like i take -- potentially plan to take a day off work. try not to go to the gym or crossfit, outdoor crazy workcrak something like that -- a good night of sleep. all of that might lessen your chances. i wouldn't tell anyone there is a role that will complete the side effects. úyou have to expe happen, but it's all better. >> not to mention, always good to hydrate no matter what if you are getting a vaccine or not -- >> handwashing is not going to go anywhere. we're going to do that forever. >> it was good to have you, thanks. >> thank you. >> know if you have questions n alysasthe ws vato

ahead. she was not a board member at the time, and says the tweets were in response to asian-american kids at san francisco middle school harassing a latino student. many believe that was anti- asian rhetoric. the board voted to strip her of her title and committee assignments, then she sued the district and her colleagues. >> was -- the messages were not racist. i think they could've been worded more tactfully, but she was in such a position of pain, and i could see exactly where she was coming from. she was right. a lot of us in the asian community don't speak up enough. >> reporter: she is a of a local high school and says she has seen discrimination directed at black and brown students, there have been rallies in the past addressing this. we talked on zoom with other supporters of collins who say she was not offered supportive justice. she has put four children through sfd schools.

>> there was times when i was so frustrated because race relations were not addressed, that i could understand, and actually i identified -- her tweets resonated with me. this screenshot is really taking advantage of the pain of asian americans right now and using it as a political tool to get what they want. >> reporter: diane is also an alum. >> it was interesting that they didn't surface -- at least, i didn't see them in the media, you know, throughout the community during her election, so it is very suspect to me that it is showing up now. >> reporter: the elite law high school is at the center. in february, the school board voted to remove the merit-based admissions process for a lottery system to increase diversity. collins, who is the only black female board member is a vocal supporter. asian students make up the majority of the student body

and all that i did, you know, i found some tweets. >> you have here, all minorities have faced systemic racism in the country, yet some minority groups are outperforming white students academically while some are not. this indicates that systemic racism does not have a consistent or causal effect on academic performance. do you see how that message could be offensive toto >> in what sense? >> one could argue that this is veiled with anti-blackness. if we want to go the route, we can attribute slavery, segregation, jim crow -- >> reporter: i went on to show her how her words could not -- >> i guess my only point is to say, systemic racism does not necessarily cause a group to perform worse than the benchmark of white students.

>> reporter: this whole saga involving the school and allison carries a lot of hurt and has gotten ugly. it appears the lottery systgrap sf ust shows that from the 2021 2022 school year admissions the percentage of black students increased by 2.9%. and by 10% for hysteric students. a number of white and asian students show a slight decline, but still make up the majority. abc news has learned that u.s. immigration enforcement agencies will no longer use the term illegal alien, to federal government memos obtained by our network says eyes as well as customs and border protection will cease using the words alien and assimilation. the change will apply to both internal policy documents and public communications. advocates for immigrants have long condemned the use of those long condemned the use of those words,allingthchevy ismeri'sre g it everywhe.

unnecessary. i feel like it's whatever your comfort level is. i think it's a little early to have all those people to not have a mask. >> i mean, it also depends on whether or not they get tested like production crews or actors, they do do that. anyway, as the country opens up more, that means the return of offices -- parties and other social events, for some women, that could mean a return to high heels, not for this woman. sles fell 45% according to market researchers, analysts predict sales would my eyes -- rise modestly. if you haven't worn heels in a while and want to start again, they recommend baby steps like starting with lower styles or doing foot muscle exercises. what do you think? >> i have to pause for one second and show you guys, okay, this is my pandemic footwear looki can move faster. my feet are adjusted.
