as to one the cities will get vaccines. when will san francisco get more monkeypox vaccines? >> depends when shipments come and how it moves. the expectation is that there will be more in the near future. overtime time, building into 2023. reporter: dr. melanie oat, senior investigator at the gladstone institute, said the outbreak would not be this bad of people would have had the smallpox vaccine in their system. >> we have less and less people that have received the smallpox vaccine. protection has waned across the world. reporter: the challenge is there is one vaccine for monkeypox and treatment is also limited. the silver lining is according to the dock your, many people -- dr. many people can clear the virus in two to four weeks. even though monkeypox is very painful there have not been any fatalities in the u.s. dan: that is good. luz, at the top, 200 cases in

for those students in the black and brown communities. she has apologized, referring to her comments as a teachable moment. she will not be endorsed by the united educators of san francisco. when it comes to winning a seat on the school board, endorsements matter, especially if it comes from them, the teachers union. what you may not know is a few years ago, the teachers union created cope. which stands for committee on political education. it is the political arm of the union, what they say as many times followed by voters. in 2020, cope endorsed at jenny, mark sanchez, and matt alexander, all 41 that year and are still on the board. the pandemic brought more awareness of who now occupies the seats. >> coming out of the pandemic, with distance learning, more people in the city are paying more attention to our schools and the board of education, more so than any other time in history. reporter: out of the pandemic

the historical murals, the admissions controversy, keeping students at home, learning on zoom. everyone has something to say about those issues. that is when people here in san francisco started to pay attention. ama: make sense. thank you so much. dan: you at 6:00, 7 on your side michael finney joins us live about the new zelle money transfer app and how scammers are using it to steal your money. plus. >> i identify as someone with an invisible disability. i think it is accurate for how the world treats me. ama: in honor of july's disability pride month, here how this artist expands his life, her struggles and triumphs. >> the naacp demanding answers after a confederate flag was in after a confederate flag was in th oh ms. flores, what would we do without you? leader of many, and pet wrangler too. you report to your boss, every afternoon.
