8:00 am
i absolutely have to be sharp. let me tell ya, i was struggling with my memory. it was going downhill. my friend recommended that i try prevagen and over time, it made a very significant difference in my memory and in my cognitive ability. i started to feel a much better sense of well-being. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. good morning. it is 11:00 a.m., 8:00 a.m. pacific on this fourth of july. i'm corey coughlin, it is a busy holiday monday. first, outrage in akron, ohio, more protests are inspected in the city one day after police released footage of the deadly police shooting of 25-year-old jalen walker. it is said he was shot 60 times after a police chase. we will look at some of the
8:01 am
critical moments. brand-new information from the biden administration to protect reproductive health data in the aftermath the overcurrenting of roe versus wade. between nightmares at airports to sky high firework prices, and sky high food prices as well as gas, traveling on this fourth of july. delays and cancellations at airports across the country are causing chaos and frustration for air travelers, this as airports are overwhelmed with a record number of passengers not seen since before the pandemic. nbc's george so list is at los angeles international airport. how is it looking for us? >> hi. happy fourth of july. right now things looking fairly smooth here at the airport. of course it is early. just checking flight aware which you can use to track flights. not many delays receipt now.
8:02 am
16 delays, about one cancellation. across the nation already we are seeing about 1,000 delays. when you compare that to everything that's occurred since friday we are looking at a very nom gnat amount. over the weekend we saw somewhere close to 16,000 delays and more than 1500 cancellations. right now, again, possibly a good thing that we are seeing such few delays. many out here are hoping it stays that way as they make those last-minute rushes to their fourth of july destinations. >> and i know you are speaking to air travelers out there in these early morning hours on west coast. what are they telling you? >> yeah, many of them are frustrated, especially since a lots of these delays and cancellations are happening last-minute. many of them are wondering if they are going the make it to their destinations on time. of course, they are also dealing with the sticker shock of a lot of these plane tickets. many of them are making the decision whether they want to fly, whether they want to drive.
8:03 am
but, really, the frustration comes, you get here early. you check your bag u think you are going to get on that flight and all of a sudden you find out it has been delayed a few hours. we spoke to one traveler who wound up buying two tickets because they wanted to make sure they made it to their destination. >> we hope that the case is different the rest of today. and we know there is going to be a big influx tomorrow. george, thank you for being with us on this independence day. we appreciate it. right now, protests are expected in akron, ohio a day after police released body camera footage in the shooting of an unarmed black man. it shows the moments leading up to police officers fired many shots on the 25-year-old after a police chase. >> akron a city on edge as we saw protests outside city hall
8:04 am
and the police department down the street, people demanding justice for jalen walker. we will warn you, some of the video you are about to see is disturbing. overnight, outrage in ohio as protests continued with what appeared to be tear gas disbursed into the crowd cowering to wkyc. and a community in pain after watching the moment eight akron police officers fired an estimated 90 rounds, according to authorities. harrowing body cam video shedding new light on what led up to the barrage of bullets that killed 25-year-old jalen walker. >> the video you are about to watch is heart breaking and it is very tough to take in. >> reporter: the approximately seven-minute video released sunday by the city alongside a second narrated clip begins with a high-speed chase police saying officer had tried to pull walker over for an unspecified traffic fled but he fled.
8:05 am
seconds later, gunshots from walker's car. >> had a shot come out his door. >> reporter: police saying you can see the flash from the gun in this security video. the video then shows walker running from his car wearing a ski mask. police say officers tried to tase him but missed. authorities adding officers say they thought walker was turning toward them reaching for a gun. that's when they say eight opened fire. >> the m.e.'s report case over 60 pounds to mr. walker's body. >> reporter: the investigation now showing walker was unarmed when he was shot. police say they found a gun in his car, along with a wedding ring. police saying walker recently lost his feeian say. the public demanding more transparency. >> the public didn't see an officer dropping his clip because it was empty of bullets and reloading. >> reporter: overnight, akron
8:06 am
police responding they are confident the videos that have been released are in compliance with the city's ordinance. did the video change your thoughts of what happened after you saw the video at all? >> no. i will just thought as a mother that could have been my child. doesn't make that many shots. >> reporter: those eight officers are on paidly pending the investigation. that is stormy daniels ask. the state has taken over the investigation into this deadly shooting. maggie vespa, nbc news, akron, ohio. we are also following a major development from uvalde, texas. school district police chief pete arradondo has resigned from his other job on the city council. he was in charge of the handling of the deadly shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers. he has experienced criticism for
8:07 am
the delayed response taking down the shooter. what did arradondo say about his decision to step down? >> we should say he had just been elected before the massacre hachld as you said, just after he was recently sworn in, he is now resinning. he issued a statement saying it is in the best interest of the community to step down to minimize further distractions. he adds, the mayor, the city council, and the city staff must continue to move forward to unite our communities once again. that coming from school police chief peter arradondo who will no longer be a part of the uvalde city council. there had been a lot of harsh criticism first because they decided to swear him in after the massacre happened and then weeks went by until he issues this statement and he now makes this decision. but he still is the school police chief. although he's on administrative leave. there is some reaction from the
8:08 am
parents of the victims. let's hear from one of them. >> it's never going to be enough because we can't have our child back. for me, it is never going to be enough. he failed at his job. failed our kids. >> as you can imagine, there is a lot of frustration from members of the community, and obviously, from family members of the victims in uvald as they wait for more answers from the investigation. and of course, they keep criticizing peter arradondo who was, as we have been told, in charge of the police response at the school according to investigators. >> so many details shrouded in mystery at this point. thank you. coming up, after more than 50 men, women, and children died in a sweltering truck last week trying to migrate into the united states we will take a deeper look at border politics. plus, how big tech can be used against women seeking an abortion. eeking an abortion

new details in the deadliest smuggling case in recent u.s. history, where 53 people lost their lives inside an abandoned track outside san antonio texas. among the victims, brothers, one 18 years old, and the other 23-year-old as well as one of their girlfriends, just 24 years old. they struggled to find work, even with college degrees in their home country of honduras. a relative living in the u.s. offered to finance their trip to america and the trio put their hands in the live was smugglers to carry them across the borders. their mother karen now tasked with burying their bodies instead of helping them start a new life in america. joining me now, julio ricardo
8:14 am
varela. thank you for being in with us today. we appreciate it. this strategy decame three days before the biden administration ended the remain in mexico policy. what needs to happen now after that ruling? >> it is interesting. i think there needs to be a bigger light being -- you know, being shone on this issue. i wrote a piece for msnbc daily on friday talking about how this bipartisan sort of policy of enforcement only that has been happening since the '90s is literally leading to the deaths of people. and i really, you know, given today being july 4th, i really hope this country wakes up a little bit to the morality of this issue, because it's way too easy to blame smugglers, and, you know, blame migrants. the lives that you -- you showed
8:15 am
at the beginning from -- from, you know, reports, those are people with real dreams. they are the people that look at july 4st and go, this country has hope for me. and there needs to be a national urgency on this issue. it's way -- it's turned too much into a national security issue. you had the department of homeland security secretary may york as on sunday talking about how they are still being tough on the border. this is so complex that the united states has yet to really look at itself in the mirror and say, you know, we were the cause of all of this. whether you are republican or democrat. it's just -- it's a deeper american issue that i really really hope that people in this country understand, that we have to come to terms with ourselves to understand how big of an issue had really is. >> i want to hear a little bit from secretary alejandro mayorkas because he was asked specifically about this case and the security measures that these
8:16 am
smugglers bypassed. then we will talk about it. listen here. >> 53 people died. >> these are very sophisticated transnational criminal organizations. they have evolved over the last 30 years. in the '90s, i prosecuted them, and they were much more rudimentary. now, they are very sophisticated, using technology, and they are extraordinaily organized transnational criminal enterprises. can a truck get through sophisticated means? sometimes, yes. >> what can be done to prevent this? is this a border policy issue? a security screening issue? >> it is a combination of everything. like i said, the united states needs to look at itself first. you know, migration, since the mid '90s, under president clinton, then to president bush, president obama, president trump, and now president biden. in this post 9/11 world we have
8:17 am
turned it into a national security issue. that's what happened. these migrants are statistics, numbers, faceless. you have campaign promises, the whole notion of having to be tough on the border. but there is a bigger issue here. if we don't look at how we got here -- you know, the secretary mentions transnational criminal organizations. well, if the united states didn't love drugs so much, you know, we are the biggest drug users in the word. we created this problem. it is too easy to put this on people who actually have hope in this country. and we need to begin the humanize these lives lost, not only here. but these similar tragedies were happening under the trump administration. they were happening under previous administrations. we, as a sun, have made immigration enforcement a bipartisan issue that we just want to continue to avoid.
8:18 am
and we have not looked deeply into sort of our immigrant past as a nation of immigrants to understand that we have to solve this, and solve it quickly. >> remain in mexico has been lifted, calling on the biden administration to do more, hewell know ricardo varela, we appreciate your time today. this is such a complicated issue, we have to have you back to dive into this further. there are just so many nuances here. thank you. >> any time. in the wake of the supreme court's decision to overturn roe versus wade, there are no concerns about online monitoring. digital evidence has always played a role where prosecutors got ahold of someone's cell phone or laptop to determine location. joining me now, tatum hunter, a "washington post" reporter who investigated these data and privacy concerns. good morning, welcome to you. help us understand this.
8:19 am
what kind of evidence has already been used by police and investigators? and how could that relate to women in the future? >> so there is already examples of police using people's text messages and internet search histories to prosecute cases where women's babies die. and so the concern is that because of the vast trove of data companies collect on us both the simple everyday things like a text message to a relative or a google search, to something really big and scary like a subpoena to a data broker like google or facebook could come back in a court case. >> what kinds of apps or data should people worry about being targeted by law enforcement? >> i think, before i give advice to consumers, i always like to take a second and say, this should not be your responsibility, of protecting potentially intimate data about your life from big companies.
8:20 am
but because that's the world we live in, there are a few things we can could. a big one is turning off the location service on our phone, use a guide from us, or another -- you know, or another outlet to fix the privacy settings on your phone. think hard about what you tell information about your reproductive choices, whether it is friends, relatives, nays, your intimate partner, your health care providers. because even if, you know, a company were able to stand firm and say no to a state's subpoena anything that's sitting on your device would be vulnerable if law enforcement got their hands on it. >> just the fact that you have to say that sentence, think hard about who you tell about your reproductive rights. quotest quote, when visitors use the website search function and begin to schedule an appointment
8:21 am
planned parenthood shared that information with big tech companies. that search factor has been shut down, but is this another appreciate that could happen? >> absolutely. whenever you visit almost any app or website it is communicating with third parties to let them know what you do there, and where else you have been. it helps the corporation coordinate marketing campaigns and understand how people behave on their site. in this case it is easy to see how this became a breach of trust. while it was really shocking this week to see planned parenthood had left those marketing trackers running. it is important to take a step back and understand it is really a drop in the bucket of our larger data collection landscape that privacy advocates refer to as corporate surveillance. >> really, there is so -- such a deep web, tangled web of
8:22 am
information that companies know about you that you are not even aware of. should people scrub their information from menstruation apps? >> if you dlait your period tracker app because you are no longer interested in using it -- if you live in the state of california, ccpa, a privacy law, gives you the right to ask companies to delete the data they are holding about you. that's a pretty big deal. some companies will honor those requests from people outside of california. it is an interesting example of what would life be like if we had sprang privacy legislation at the federal level. >> you mentioned your paper and outlet has resources for women
8:23 am
to help them walk through this. give them a website or a direct link they can go to right now? >> yeah, if you punch in "washington post" help desk or "washington post" privacy guide, we have almost like a workbook that you can click through in tiny chunks day-by-day and kind of start to reduce some of that flow of data about yourself to companies who want to use to it market to you or in this case potentially a government who wants to prosecute you. ? tatum, thank you very much. we appreciate that. >> thanks. coming up this july 4th inflation is putting a dent in celebrations. why some towns across the country are scrapping their fireworks displays all together. next. her. next and new adventures you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b. although uncommon, up to 1 in 5 survivors of meningitis will have

8:28 am
be the first big fourth of july celebration back since the pandemic shut things down. each this fourth of july is going to look a lot different when it comes to these big fireworks displays, for three main reasons. the first reason is supply chain issues. some of these cities just haven't been able to get their hands on the commercial-grade fireworks that are needed for the big delays. in phoenix for example, they had to cancel three their largest fireworks displace because they simply don't have the fireworks. and the other issue is something that we have heard from businesses, restaurants, stores throughout the country, and that is the labor shortage that we are seeing. and so some cities have the fireworks, but they don't have the people to man these huge events. you know, sometimes it's hundreds, even thousands of people can come out to see those very big fireworks displays. in minneapolis, for example, they are saying they don't have the people to work those displays and to ensure that
8:29 am
there is enough staff there to make sure that everything goes off perfectly. and the third factor that we are seeing, particularly out west, is the issue with fire danger and with the drought. so cities in california cancelling their displays because they are concerned that what may have begun as a celebration could end in disaster if one of those embers lands in the wrong area and a fire erupts as a result. for all of those reasons we are saying cancellations in cities across the country. and a lot of folks think that people will be coming to places like this to stock up for the fireworks themselves and try light up the night a little bit at home. ? we know some cities are also going to tryout drone displays. of course you being at these iconic fireworks stands, what are you hearing from the stand owners and consumers? >> yeah. so stand owners are also facing challenges, not so much with supply. there was an overflow because of the delays in the supply chain
8:30 am
issues from last year. but getting the fireworks to these stands, they have seen increased prices when it comes to transportation, gas prices, all of that, and so there is data thatuggests that prices are actually 35% higher this year. and i have spoken to some owners who said, you know, this pallet was a third of the cost last year, and they have had to pass those prices on to consumers. and the shoppers that i have spoken to have noticed that, but it hasn't stopped them from shopping although it is changing some of their habits. listen to what one shopper told me. >> it's definitely still worth it, but i can tell you that i am not going to buy as much as i bought last time. that's for sure. you know. it will be a little bit more restricted, more selective, what i get. so it is a definitely a different kind of shopping. instead of buying the big master pack of fountains and spink lers, i am going to go for something a little more
8:31 am
conservative, for sure. >> so a slightly different celebration for many folks this year. but everyone i talked to said they are still going the find a way to celebrate the holiday. >> celebrations peek through no matter what, that tends to happen. pi sylla thompson, appreciate that. inflation is hitting all areas of our lives including the fireworks we just talked about and the cost of a fourth of july cookout. joining me now felix sam of axios and the author of the axios newsletter. felix, welcome in, happy independence day to you. >> happy fourth of july. >> thank you very much. america's paying more for everything from gasoline to groceries and the fireworks that we just talked about. it's mind blowing. are we going the see relief any time soon? >> well, i think gas prices might be coming down a little bit. that's the main factor that is driving a lot of the feelings of pain when it comes to inflation.
8:32 am
so that's possible glint of good news. but, no, it is going the take a while for inflation broadly to come down. look at housing prices. mortgage rates are up. rents are up. that's a third of the inflation gauge right there. it is going to be a while before people feel like inflation is no longer a problem. >> the federal reserve raising interest rates by tllkt of a price in order to try to combat inflation, bring sky high housing prices down. do you see an effect on housing market? >> it has already had an effect on housing market. it has slowed down quite a lot. when mortgage rates go from 3% to 6%, that's a huge increase in the amount of money you have to pay every month when you are buying a new home. people are more reluctant to do that. prices haven't come down a lot. there is anecdotal evidence that
8:33 am
people are cutting prices more than they used to. but prices are still high and that makes housing much less affordable. >> president biden is under pressure over the soaring gas prices, amazon's jeff bezos slamming the president for blaming the prices on big oil companies. meanwhile, the white house press secretary firing back saying, quote, oil prices dropped by $15 over the last month. but prices at the pump have barely come down. that's not market dynamics. it is failing the american consumer. ron insanaa said they are both wrong in a certain sense. what's your take. i am a little bit on the side of jeff bezos here. there is a big difference between oil prices and gasoline prices in order to turn oil into gasoline, you need to do lots of things. it is related to refinery
8:34 am
capacity. and there are lots of supply chain issues between getting a barrel of oil out of the ground and putting gasoline into your car. so the price of gasoline is a bunchds of different factors, the one thing that we can be relatively sure about is that the margins at those actual gas stations are super, super thin. these are the most visible pricing in the economy. you see the gas price in two foot high letters everywhere you drive. gas stations all compete with each other to offer the lowest prices and to have the lowest headline prices. so if you are seeing high gas prices, it's not because the gas station operators are saying oh, we could have massive profit margins. that's just not how it works. >> a very difficult question for just the couple seconds that you have to answer it. what can the biden administration do? because what they have trade in
8:35 am
the past is not working? >> reduce all of the tariffs. all the trump tariffs onto china increased the cost of all the goods that come from china. if you get rid of the tariffs it nearly immediately reduces the price of every import. ahead, new details about a shooting inside a mall in copenhagen that left several people dead. what we know about that suspect. stick around. about that suspec. stick around rising out of water ] minions are bitin' today. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ minions: the rise of gru, only in theaters. i am robert strickler. i've been involved in communications in the media minions: the rise of gru, for 45 years. i've been taking prevagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. for me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly.

we have break news. the u.s. has concluded that the bullet that killed a palestinian american journalist in may likely came from israeli defense forces. palestinians have accused the israeli military of killing her deliberately. israel denied this. the u.s. security coordinator said there is no reason to believe it was intentional but they could not reach a
8:40 am
definitive origin of the bullet. >> more than a month after the killing of the journalist, the veteran palestinian american journalist the u.s. government is now saying based on the available evidence it appears likely she was killed by israeli gunfire. as you said, they are saying there was no evidence she was killed deliberately. but this is the u.s. weighing in on this very disputed event that happened in the occupied west bank back on may 11th and saying it does appear she was killed by israeli troops. now, the reason they are not able to say definitively whether the fatal shot was fired by the israelis is because that ballistic missile testing on the bullet which killed her was inconclusive. the u.s. saying that bullet was badly damaged and despite intensive ballistic testing, they weren't able to reach a
8:41 am
final conclusion n. in some ways this is not a result that is going to satisfy anybody. we are already starting to see palestinian human rights groups saying this is not a firm conclusion that they feel should be reached. they say there is enough eyewitness testimony are the team that was with her that shows that she was indeed killed by israeli forces. the israelis, in their own statement released at the same time as the u.s. government are not taking responsibility for this shooting. they are not responding to this american conclusion that it appears likely that they fired the fatal shot. they are saying at this point, given that the ballistics were inconclusionive there is no way to know one way or another and they will continue investigating. she was watched in hundreds of
8:42 am
thousands of homes across the arab world on al jazeera. she was the woman who brought people the news on what was happening in israel and the occupied best bank. her funeral in jerusalem led to ugly scenes. today the u.s. government is providing something of a conclusion saying it does appear likely that she was killed by israeli troops. and of course, this all comes just nine days before president biden touches down in israel on his first trip to the country as president. corey. >> with protests leakly planned given this breaking news. out of tel aviv, raf, thank you. today a suspect was identified as 2-year-old danish man who was known to the health -- mental health services in copenhagen. there is no evidence it was a
8:43 am
terrorist act here and the shooting victims were ran dam. joining me, meghan fitzgerald. good morning to you. what more do we know at this hour? >> corey, what we know first is that that suspect just appeared in court not long ago. and the court has ruled they will not be releasing names of the suspect or the victims here. as you mentioned we are talking about a 2-year-old suspect who has been charged with three counts of manslaughter, seven counts of attempted murder. he's being held at a psych ward. the victims -- three people were killed, two of them 17 years old, one of them a 40-year-old russian citizen who was living here in denmark. and seven other people were shot, four are in critical condition. to set the scene, we are talking about a busy shopping mall with 140 shops and restaurants on a sunday night, this man, according to police, walked into the mall with a rifle and opened
8:44 am
fire. munition was found on him when he was arrested. people were running in fear for their lives. they are hiding in bathrooms. this is incredibly rare for denmark. the prime minister said, she said, our beautifully, unusually so safe capital was changed in a split second. she of course is now calling on her country to come together as they mourn. you know, this was a joyous occasion. keep in mind this country just hosted the tour de france for the first time. so this is now a country that's in mourning. corey? >> meghan fitzgerald, thank you very much. russian forces are claiming a victory in ukraine as the last major city in the eastern region of luhansk fell to russian force this is week. in respond, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy saying ukraine will retake all lost territory. meanwhile a smelling on the west

side left three people dead. -- a smelling on the west side left three people dead. >> at this point in the war, russia's primary objective is to take control of the donbas. right now, it seems that they are halfway there, at least on paper. what's happened here is significant, but not entirely unexpected. the fighting that has been taking place in severodonetsk and one other place have been some of the bloodiest battles so far in the east. we spoke with a man who has been going back and forth trying to help his own family, still in the city, and also other people he knows there. he shared with us some cell phone video he has been able to take in recent weeks, recent days as he traveled in and out of the city. he says right now, the city smells of death. he says there is no access to the people still there to running water or electricity.
8:46 am
he says all of the infrastructure has been destroyed. he also told us about five days ago he was trying to head back into the city when he saw some ukrainian soldiers leaving. listen to more of what he told us. >> translator: our soldiers were going out of there. and there were groups of solars that withdrawing from them. i was asking them how is it in luhansk? is it okay or not? and those who had more experience, they were telling me that it's better not to go there. and those who were less experienced it was like with their eyes wide open from fear. when i told them where are you going torque luhansk, why? >> even though ukrainian forces lost control city, they still see some success in this mission
8:47 am
here not because they were able to keep the territory or the land but because they got so many of their soldiers out alive. one of the big goals for them was to sort of avoid what happened in mariupol, where you had soldiers encircled and trapped for days. they avoided that in this city and they are able to take more fortified positions in bond, et cetera. it appears russian forces are ramping up their attacks there. the regional governor off bond, et cetera, he says a number of cities in the area came under heavy shelling and rocket strikes this weekend and at least six people including one child died in one of the cities because of heavy shelling. >> devastating news out of eastern ukraine. coming up, holiday typically mean an uptick in covid cases. will that be the case this time around? we will talk to a doctor about how to stay safe next.

a new omicron subvariant is circulating. dr. hotez, welcome and happy fourth of july, even though we're having you back to talk about this more unhappy topic. tell us about this new omicron sub variant. how prevalent is it? >> the numbers are going up precipitously. pretty soon it's going to be the dominant variant in the united states. it's the most highly transmissible one we've seen to date. with each successive wave of sub variants, they're getting more transmissible. now we're up to measles, which is the most common infectious agent we know about. we're looking at 100,000 reported new cases a day. because so many people are doing home testing, that's probably an underestimate. we're probably looking at well
8:53 am
over a million new cases a day. we're still losing 300 to 400 people every day to covid-19. it's not like it was several months ago, 2 or 3,000 but it's still a significant cause of death in the united states. >> how deadly is this new sub variant? >> it's still a serious pathogen if you've not been vaccinated or if you've been under vaccinated. if you've only got one dose or two doses, you really need that booster to keep you safe from this sub variant. if you're eligible, over the age of 50, get your second booster as well. that's the most promising way to keep you out of the hospital even if you might have some breakthrough infection. >> what advice do you have for parents? >> we're under performing terribly in the united states right now. only about 30% of 5 to
8:54 am
11-year-olds have gotten their vaccine. down here in the southern part of the united states, we're looking at 11%. if you look at the under fives, it's not going to be higher than those numbers, so we could be looking at single digit percentage numbers in the southern united states. we've got to ramp up our advocacy and make parents understand more than 1200 children have lost their lives from covid which is not a benign illness in children. >> this does not just affect those with comorbidiies or the elderly. do we need to start thinking about wearing masks again? >> certainly in crowded indoor venues, i would recommend it. i was on an airplane recently and i wore a mask the entire
8:55 am
plane ride. i think this is really important to do because this variant is so highly transmissible and you are at risk for breakthrough covid. if you've gotten vaccinated or boosted, you're unlikely to get very sick if you get covid-19, although that happens occasionally. too many americans are unvaccinated or under vaccinated. those are the ones that urgently need protection and should be wearing a mask at this time. >> i want to ask you about the monkeypox. we had a doctor on previously who said we are shamefully low when it comes to testing here and getting the vaccine out to people. what's your take on monkeypox and do you have any warnings for the public? >> the good news is there seems to be a safe and effective vaccine produced by a european company bavarian nordic. the biden administration made a commitment to make 1.6 doses
8:56 am
available in the coming months. some are saying we're going to need maybe 3 to 4 million doses if we're going to protect individuals at high risk and prevent spillover of this illness into the general population. i think we're going to need do a better job of ramping up vaccines and think about vaccines for monkeypox not only like a form of post exposure but even a preexposure. i think we're going to hear a lot more about the monkeypox vaccine in the coming months. >> dr. hotez, thank you very much. that wraps it up for me at this history. more news after a quick break. more news after a quick break. r. fear no food. new poligrip power hold and seal.
