what we don't yet know is how transmissible it will be and how well our vaccines will work. liz: a lot of questions. the more mutations a single variant has, the more immunity you need to have in order to combat that variant. she says they are hopeful the vaccines will work in a way that even if they don't prevent infection entirely, that they can work to protect -- prevent severe disease and keep people out of the hospital. the san francisco archdiocese has been outspoken about the vaccine, encouraging churchgoers to get the shot, except that the archbishop, the person who is mentally by example has yet to be vaccinated against covid. leah melendez follows up on the recent acknowledgment. >> pope francis admits he struggles with skeptics who refuse to get the covid-19 vaccine. here is the pope last august.
