4:02 pm
years ago. to be the greatest athlete in the world. now, i enter a different kind of race, arguably my most important one yet. to save california. >> reporter: governor newsome is entering full campaign mode. he appeared alongside the california oppression of firefighters union who offered their endorsement. now is not the time to waste hundreds and millions of dollars on a recall effort that is nothing more than a partisan power grab. this is and forgive me, a republican backed recall. >> reporter: back here at the has play a pivotal role. delete proponents as after newsom was spotted here they got 400,000 newest
4:03 pm
signatures. at that press conference with the firefighters as he collected their endorsement he was asked about it. what did he say about that cox video about being called the pretty boy and the beauty and the beast comparison? >> it was interesting. we clearly saw he is ramping up his campaign. he did it dismiss the notion. he said california's economy is roaring back. is unclear if he mets to make a bear reference but that theme was of the day. segment joining us now to talk more about this is abc7 news insider phil matier. fail, i am a little disappointed. i don't see a live bear over your shoulder. i don't know what happened but what is your take?
4:04 pm
>> what we have is candidates trying to get attention and momentum going. we have john cox who has run against gavin newsom before and defeated in a landslide. and, we have caitlyn jenner. we also have kevin falconer, the former mayor of san diego who doesn't have the money, apparently, to launch right now. we are seeing they want to make this about performance not partisan politics. gavin newsom wants to make it about partisan politics republican versus democrat. he wins that way in california. these guys and girls are seeing no. it is not whether about whether you are republican or democrat or how you feel on social issues. this is about the state of california. they are coming on strong saying it is a failed state. behind this also is money and celebrity. caitlyn jenner have a lot of celebrity. that is why people are paying attention to a video she just posted. john cox has lots of money. he did a $5 million ad by for this bear and he will probably drop another $5 million pretty
4:05 pm
soon. >> it is pretty tough to top the live bear a news conference. what did you make of the whole beauty and the beast comparison? if gavin newsom is the beauty then he represents the beauty -- the beast. is that the message? >> that is the message. he of the beast that will bring about change. the real message is gavin is a pretty boy at least in the eyes of john cox and his supporters. they wants to brand him as pretty boy just the way to donald trump branded his opponents. it is catchy and it sums up some of gavin newsom's greatest strengths which is his hollywood good looks and charisma which could also lead to his downfall. that equals pretty boy, are you getting the job done? it would it is an attempt to john cox to brand gavin newsom as the pretty boy. >> you talk about there being perhaps as many as 100 candidates in this recall election by the time we actually get to the polls that day. doesn't that help gavin newsom? spreading the vote out have got
4:06 pm
to be the something that will help his cause. >> well his caused us to hold onto his job. he is running against himself. it is a two-part thing. do we recall the governor? if we recall him who takes their place? you have got to hold onto his job. these ads or politics is isn't necessarily going to decide that. will the biggest thing that will determine how this race goes is whether you have a bear at the press conference are not. it is how the governor handles the fire season, how he handles the drought which we are seeing again. how he handles homelessness crime and most important, if there are rolling blackouts or brownouts this summer, that could be the real bear that would be chasing him. >> interesting. no shortage of challenges for sure. phil, thank you for your insight. you can learn more about the last california recall on the originals documentary on our

thousands of women across the country will be affected by this, for sure. >> most people get the vaccine in the shoulder area. it turns out we have 20-40 lymph nodes in that region. why is the vaccine triggering them? >> in the case of the vaccine, they are manufacturing the vaccine for your antibody which is what you want. >> have you noticed a difference in women who have breast cancer and those who have swollen lymph nodes because of the vaccine? >> on an exam, usually, something that is obviously cancerous is much harder and much more obvious. >> 11.6% of patients who received the moderna covid-19 vaccine have swollen lymph nodes after the first dose. women who got the pfizer vaccine also experienced these side effects. >> it is a a a

4:33 pm
soreness? >> first of all it is totally normal. i absolutely understand how if someone doesn't warn you there is a chance you could get the swollen lymph nodes under your arm pit that could escape. that is not a normal place where people are used to filling lymph nodes. it is a normal response especially when you try to rev up your immune system and build those antibodies. i appreciate the reporting from luz pena who outlined what they said. because of potential potential you may get a false positive on a mammogram. that is what radiologists are looking for. that is why the recommendation to get your shot before the mammogram or 5-6 weeks after. >> let's talk about a mythmaking news about vaccine shedding. >> i think we can kind of brain that blame that private school of concept of
4:34 pm
you will get a vaccine and all of a sudden you will have a virus shedding. alive a virus leaving a person. that doesn't happen with this vaccine. reinject people with mrna, a blueprint. there is no life life life it is not possible. you aren't actually able to shed anything. this is a myth that is easily leads debunked. the irony is people who were spreading this are actually afraid of the virus being shed from someone vaccinated but not afraid of the actual natural virus. it doesn't make a lot of sense to me but rest assured you cannot catch the virus from one vaccinated -- from the vaccine i should say. >> as you said this all -- it is something that started with one school in florida that is prohibiting people have been vaccinated from going to the school or teaching at the school which is the opposite of what everyone is trying to do. >> one of the concerns that has
4:35 pm
really gotten a lot of conversation in the past couple of days is the belief that because you have so much vaccine hesitancy we may never reach herd immunity. >> it is a scary concept but it is absolutely true. i think it is something realistic we need to be prepared for. for the past 6 mines even with you i constantly said when we get to herd immunity or when we reach herd immunity but mathematically we may not get there. 25 of the population under 18 are not eligible for a vaccine and another 20%-30% say they will not get a vaccine. that does not get us to that herd immunity. the season variance travel and travel reopens this could make herd immunity a moving target. the coronavirus to some degree probably will
4:36 pm
the foreseeable future. it have made us change what we have to do. we can look at israel. they saw a really big dip in active infections once the population reached 60%. that is not quite herd immunity but they still had restrictions. people were still wearing masks. we may see no infections really drop. i don't think we are going to be able to say goodbye to coronavirus if we get to that level. we will see some kind of in between going into winter i suspect. one other thing to consider, because a lot of people are asymptomatic or were asymptomatic and may have had coronavirus without knowing it, it is poss bull the numbers could be much higher than just straight vaccinations. we also have to account for people who do >> i am glad you brought that up. that is an important point. that is probably why we will see the effects of approaching herd immunity before we get there because of exactly what
4:37 pm
you mention. the other unknown is we don't know how long immunity will last from a natural infection versus how long it will last from one shot. there are a lot of variables but in the end most experts believe we were not reach herd immunity as we fast.. >> thank you. if you have questions for the abc7 news vaccine team, the abc7 news vaccine team, submit them.them.them.them.the. - (phone ringing) - big button, and volume-enhanced phones. get details on this state program. call or visit advanced non-small cell lung cancer can change everything. but your first treatment could be a chemo-free combination

time now for the 4 at 4:00. the effort to recall governor gavin newsom has definitely gotten wild. emphasis on wild. john cox showed up today for a campaign event in sacramento with a live bear. look at that. that is a roofing. it weighs about 1000 pounds. this bear has done some tv work and is a member of the sag union. it was in a kevin costner movie. the oakland zoo tells us this spectacle represents or or or serious concerns. >> this really erodes people's way to think. animals are now seen as objects or toys are not dangerous. >> you guys in in in in in
4:41 pm
launched a complaint about this. the bear idea is because he is calling his tour of the state meet the beast meaning him. he is the beast. he is calling governor gavin newsom pretty, the pretty boy. this is getting wild. i am not a big fan of in this kind of cute. it is interesting. a little too much for me to bear. >> i get get get get together and knew they would get those kind of complaints. i think most people recognize bears are dangerous no matter what they do as a stunt. my concern i know this is a well-trained bear. apparently a union brother or sister that my concern is it is still a wild animal.
4:42 pm
that could be a disaster. who is going to tell the bear when his dues are up for payment works we are going to throw you out of this. you will never work in this town again, bear. >> keep an eye on this guy. there is some space debris that could come crashing down. if you're anywhere on the line of latitude between new york and beijing on the way down to new zealand keep an eye on this guy over the next few days. there is a 2110 discarded chinese rocket orbiting our planet uncontrolled and it is likely to fall to earth soon. it lost as china builds the space station. instead of falling down at a presented predesignated spot in the ocean and has been circling
4:43 pm
out-of-control. it is 100 feet tall. 16 feet wide. when it does fall experts say the rocket will burn up in the atmosphere but large chunks of debris could fall down to earth. keep in mind, earth this 70+ percent water. there is a chance this rocket could fall down and hit her somewhere. china launched this exact rocket nfl back down to earth and controlled although some of it did fall into the atlantic ocean. this is really dangerous. nothing heavier than 1010s has ever fallen back down to earth in the past 30 years. china has 10 more of these launches scheduled between now and the end of 2022. i don't know what we can do about this except just look up spencer. >> it is random but it is a
4:44 pm
little scary. you not want to be in the area where it will fall. it is an out-of-control rocket. >> we have bears and streets and chinese rocket. what is going on? >> i am surprised it doesn't happen more often. it does happen obviously. i think it is maybe a little like being hit by lightning. the odds of it hitting someone are slim but possible. >> i am not going to worry about it. >> not to a growing controversy over a new ride at disneyland. this is the snow white enchanted wish ride that replaced the ride that originally opened. it involves a case. that is a problem. some people don't like it. is said the true love's case is given without snow white's consent while she is asleep. they say they care see that as
4:45 pm
