're so lucky we have them but av he learned that ty'h're effeivcteness, eecspially tirhe fectiveness protecting us againstnf iectionea rlly dpsro f after timeoe dsn'' mean the

vaccinesre an't great. but 'e've lrneaed that reallyo t keep that proteioctnga ainst fectionp. u it'smp iortant t goet a booster otsh which is why the news today from the cdc isos welcome. so worried about a winterur sge. we bllecau osef a graph because i think that'll hpel ppleoe as youal wk us thrghou the shis.rt yocau n ask mpry oducer tdoo th aatnd you can explain to us loinokg at contactev lels and boteosr verssu waningmm iunity anwad lk us thugroh this. sure, absoluty.el sohi ts is a gphra of little black dotsre a the actlua hoitspal sntces as how myan peleop have bnee in the hpiostal er time in the statef o calirnfoia. d this is what 'e've seen so far touhrghout the epidecmind a we use a mheatmatical modelo t fit those and oth derata and enth we can use that model to unrsdetand wha mtight happen in the future uernd dfeifrent enscarios. so the snacerios weoo lk at here are scenaosri protectn ioagainst infectn.io gets ahead of our boostgin and

where wenc irease our risk behaorvi a little a mdlider oa rglae amotun and whawet sees i if we do''t keep up withha tt niwang proteioctn by boostgin tslo of people. we' rreeally at risk of a moraj ntwier surge e,ven tughoh ttha we heav vaccines. so those are the red lines and meso of the genre lin oesn that apgrh. wno the gdoo news is if we use e bstooers get tm heout to lots ofeo pple willet g ahead of this. and 'e'll be able to prevent the surge and so those are tt'h's the bl lueines you see onhe t graph. so basiclyal those coroled lines owsh us wtha could happen under dierffent scerinaos andea rlly ow us what a powerlfu tool boosngti now can be to helps u prenevt that sgeur what this is li tkehe mtiulverse rit?gh i''s like which one is yrou ality is yrou furute and it sounds at that kind of depends on wtha we do. so if i'' right o,kay, so if i'm loinokg a tthis correlyct, so for example, the teehr redav wes ghrit the mo sstolid oneea mns low contact wh iteachth oer does that mean we're not socializing thatuc mh kind of doingha wt we'r' doing beforein mimizing transmsiison andha tt gives you

the lowtes peak likehe t btes outcome. isha tt what 'e're saying? i mean i tnerms of right, i mnea th beest outmeco of the bluofe coseur, but yeah, the redne os are all settings wrehe we don'' botos enough toee kp out keep up with the winangmm iunity and that's'right. so that solid redin le. that'sik le if our rkiseh bavior esdon't ineacrse that mhuc over the holidays and kind ofee kp doinwhg at we're dngoi. weon d't rlleay know wtha peoepl are gnaon dove or the holidsay thghou, right? so there'' a good chaenc ppleoe ghmit go outoc sialize aot l peleop want to beit wh their family and fenrids and that's atwh weon d't ltis eugnoh ople. we'reea rlly risngki one of thesmoe re major sgeurs. lal right, so based on what we'r' seeingn iterms ofra tvel. looks like the amount of interactnio will be back to pre-paemndic levels. so geniv that i don'tno kw if you'r' calling that high contact or middle contact and loongki at our bstooingpt uake right now, whic whave do you think we are like wt halocor and hosow lid? oh such a good question. yeah, so i think weav he a window of oppornituty rhtig now boteosrs kick iretty st

so thiecia wh tse elihink theea thora niho in isth as well if people gout o get theiroo bsters now, i think we're rlleay in a reasoblnae ace to prenevt tha stearch, but that'shy whi ts timgin is so importt anpeoplere a rlleay mpraing up to have some moref o ostheon ctacts meorf othat avtrel more of that skri bevihaor. if we c panut that back up, i thkino. s y'u're sinayg it'sin kd of a ce again tstime iner tms of geinttg people booedst right befo trehe immituny from fksol who got a six eight monthags o arts toei wghing too much. so thees bt outmeco fksol is the solid blue line wrehe you can see tt'h's jus ltike incribedly wlon i terms of cases if we nimize contact and get boteosd. we'reea rlly oweutighs the waningmm iunity, but can weal tk ouabt ttha dotted r ledine that relyal woresri me becau iset oklos like 't's sayingf i not a lotf opeople bstoo and immituny we could get a surge or akpe hiergh than wtha we h ladast wiernt. tishat what' 'm seei?ng ihi tnk trehe'swo t thisng to noteer hene o is with the blue

lines. ihi tnk what's'great, is that if we do boostsno eugheo pple wtha we can do is we can incasree our risk bavehior, right and we can get bkacer ctain approacnghi e-pandem licevels. so we havehi ts envehe tot dted blue line is notha tt high lativelype saking. yeah exactlyit wh that ttdoed redin le. i think an important thing to say is you know, if we srttaed seei hngospitalitizaons reayll going up like that, i thinkis rk habevior wou cldhange tnkhi what 'w've sn,ee you know public healthct aions throughtou i think we would really modify things before we hit that really high hospilta sur.ge i don't thinke' 're headed to a situioatn wheer ouros hpitals will be overwhelm.ed t of crsoue, i thi wnke want ptorevent hostapilization sgeur at a,ll eecspially given ttha we have this real plyowerfuloo tl oinur hands already. we're in such a differentla pce thane w were a yrea a,go and that'' great news. actly. definilyte. we have theac vcine asnd it soun ldsike as lgon as peoepl argee tting boteosd. do aesllow for a lot more inratections siaoclizing bngei arne each otr?he d i guess that's what your

mode slhows ian wt tosk aou y though. why is it i'mea hring, you kw,no ev tenhoughn i the bay area ecdotall iy,t's vyer hard to get anpp aointmentor f a bstooer erovall. seems le ika lot of even the folks in the eldlyer cegatory are not gettingoo bsted yet in the numrsbe that ihi tnk a lot of pliubc health officials e helping for any elaxpnation for that. you kw,no t ihink the'r's been a t loof consifuon right? the'e'see bn cfuonsion autbo whetherhi ts ishe t right thing to do. i mean clearly, you owkn, there' as lot of dissscuion abtou getting vaccines to oerth countries, which is ccirual and so iormptant i thinkur o lack of vaccine access andth oer cotrunies hasee bn aalppling, but i thinkeo pple he kin of colanfted tha wt should i get a booster? i think they're really different questions. i think people have been confused about that. et they're enough to go aroundhe trere a enohug to go aroundhe ty've been confused abou wthether or not eyth're eligiblend a i think 'e're going to s aee much mo crelarity. not going forrdwa the good news is ttha we really locally have seenha tt booster upteak really pick upnd a i thinkha tt you

know, o lurocal heahlt officials our atste hlteah officis alhave been doi ang good job really gettinghi ts message out. we need to contienuo t doha tt tinhe comgin look based on your molideng. seems leik a lot of it is reallyon ctingentn oboosting given atth do you inthk are maskgin still needs tplo ay a le in th.is you know, tt'h's shuc an interestingue qstion. i tnkhi first of all in this pandem aicnyone who tlselou y they kw noexactly wha''s going toap hpenr o exactly what we ne tedo do. you should be sktiepcallu cb and atth's certainlync iludes me. i think our model suggests that boosti mngay have a really portantol re to play but the'e's yo kunow, i thinkhi ts virus hasau tght us hilumity, ght? don'' know the future. i thinkiv gen that i wldoun't want to drop all the indroo sking rhtig now. i tnkhi we should move cautiously wshe ould keep an eye onhe t data. we shoul kdeep an eye on wrehe w''re going. and i think do what hontlesy calolly. we' dveone a really good job of which isei bng wilngli to be flexibleei bng wliilng to take ans.to prote ecto changou d so i tnk it'sue tsday to saut i'm cautiously

optimistic cautiously optimistic for the future, especially given i think the new eligibility cr. all right. what data are you feeding into your model for the waning immunity because i've interviewed a lot of doctors who say they don't have concrete good. and data set especially in this country about waning immunity. absolutely, so i think what we have good information on from a lot of countries, and i don't think there's reason to think that biological aspect is going to be very different is how much immunity drops off after those initial shots. i think we have lots of really good data from a number of places israel the uk. i think that's not in question now the exact details of how fast it drops off or does it drop off and then flatten out or does it keep going down? i agree. we don't know that well at all and so when we use these models. i mean that's the sort of a simplified graph that shows three. goes right but we look across a whole range of different uncertainties that aren't shown

all here right and say, you know under what situations would be. okay, and or what situations wouldn't be? okay. so again, it's we're not saying that for sure even if we do know boosting we're gonna have a search we're saying there's a reasonable risk, we could have a surge and we have this great tool available. so we should use it right and the conclusion as i continue to look at that blue line is like if we get enough boosting and it keeps ahead of wait unity even if we have interactions, we should be in pretty good shape here in california. so all right, i'll leave it at that. that's the message right dr. peterson. that's our take. all right. that's our take thank you so much for sharing that research with us. talk to you soon. take care. okay. all right. we're going to tackle another topic next a really tough one for today. we do have reaction to the kyle rittenhouse verdict. we'll be joined by legal expert from that state in wisconsin who says it's time
