this year, the american medical association, a may develop an ambitious plant undo before racism and present a bias in medicine calls for excitement you'd assume, but not so fat. a group of physicians, including several white southern delicate accuse a may of reverse racism. you know, because when you dissolve racism against black, the result is racism against whites. sure. but incoming a president, dr. gerald harman says, quote, this plan is not up for debate. during a 6 day virtual meeting, the ambitious equity plan and policies were discussed despite some why doctor saying it goes too far. they feel the policy echoes critical race theory and blames white too much. but racism is the. 4 only problem in health care, a growing number of hospital staff refusing to get the cobit 19 vaccine is another boiling issue. in houston, texas, a federal judge recently threw out a lawsuit, filed by employees at houston methodist hospital over the hospitals requirement that all of the staff feedback needed. 178 employees were suspended last week over their refusal to adhere to the policy. $117.00 o

you've got the american medical association thing, it will advocate for that in order to avoid discrimination. i mean again because we're not leaving in an ego word, we are leaving an award where men for centuries have oppressed women and they're still doing so unfortunately. so we have to keep track of that. we have to actually understand more why this is happening and try to make, you know, all the affirmative action in loan to, to stop this type of discrimination abuse and violence against doing. and that's why you know, for 5 minutes. but for anyone who actually cared for our girth and our, you know, women, we have to find a way to protect them. but definitely this is not any type of discrimination you know, against the person who wants to change. and they're actually, in my opinion, the focus of the, the deal in spain, but in any other country should be to protect these, you know, keep on everyone from discrimination, abuse, homophobia tropical yet because these are the more things and everything is coming from the mastercard. sure. everything is coming from the patriarchal society, so t

medical journals around the world, the lancet for example as well as the journal of "the american medical associationve shown that covid is not a great threat to children and that young people do not play a significant role in spreading covid. but that has not stopped the biden administration. here is joe biden's personal covid advisor demanding that all college students in addition to other millions of other people get the shot. >> there are clearly places you are congregating people that should have mandates. students in universities, faculty and staff, health care facilities, every health care worker ought to be vaccinated. i shouldn't have to worry, as my doctor been vaccinated, as that nurse been vaccinated? i think employers ought to take this very seriously and consider mandating and requiring their workers to get vaccinated especially if they are coming back to the office. >> tucker: you must get vaccinated. okay, what's the risk? it tells you something that no one in authority ever seems to assess or even mention the potential downside of vaccination. every drug has potential side effects, e

lesbian population continued to push continue to push for rights continue to push the american medical association. in 1974 the year after the fire the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders of the american psychiatric association removes homosexuality from its list of mental disorders press as one gay activists put it. we all went to bed sick and the next morning we woke up well. discrimination nevertheless continues throughout the 1970s and beyond and gays and lesbians continue to flock to gay bars and nightclubs press alison bechtel the cartoonist and author of the graphic memoir fun home remember that in 1980. so my first bar my first gay bar was satan's an akron, ohio. i used to feel like a total alien and when i was in any kind of a social group, but that night in that large mixed crowd. i experienced the profound existential relief for once not being the only queer. a year later in 1981. i moved to new york. there was a lot of routine anti-gay hostility on the street even in sheraton square on the weekend night you get hassled for holding hands. but then you'd step past the b

now this comes as the american medical association weighed in on mandates earlier this month, saying until vaccines receive a full approval, which is expected to come soon, both pfizer and moderna, neil, have applied for full approval but even then, the american medical association says mandates risk alienating people who are distrustful of authority and they believe that herd immunity can be reached through robust public education campaigns. neil? neil: all right, thank you for that, well this is getting to be a very hot and sticky topic for a lot of businesses that are welcoming back workers but if you're morgan stanley you're requiring those workers first to make sure they are vaccinated or they cannot go into their offices. jpmorgan chase taking a bit of a different attack, highly recommending it but not ordering tom gimbal is lasalle network ceo. tom what do you make of this back and fourth and whether you can actually enforce this? >> well we'll see what happens in the legal community, but what we're seeing is the majority, we're talking really in two different americas. there'

the "journal of the american medical association" showed a 51% drop in infections two to three weeksr, best protected after the second shot but if everyone were out there to get at least their first dose would we see a pretty quick end to the pandemic in the u.s.? >> the first dose would help a lot and the problem is we don't have much data about how durable that first dose prositex and that's why everybody needs a second dose. if you missed a second dose doesn't matter if it got delads go get it. we don't want to bring the infection numbers down. we want to keep them down for a lock period of time. the today atony blinken said the u.s. will distribute 20 millions vaccines other countries and others mentioned prioritizing health care workers rather than the elderly or those with pre-existing conditions. >> obviously we've got to help all those people get vaccinated. health care workers should be first in my mind because they are the ones most exposes. they are taking care of those patients. when they get sick everybody suffers for it and we can't take of anybody. it's a small group.

. >> you wrote something in the journal of the american medical association on the need to get vaccineforts here in the united states. explain to folks why it's so important to get the vaccines out of the united states. >> we're mostly vaccinating the northern hemisphere. the u.s., canada, the u.k., western europe, and we're lagging behind globally. aside from the humanitarian urgency to prevent the horrible tragedies we're seeing in places like india and peru where the death count is rising dramatically if we do have a lot of international businesses, and it's very hard to do business now with africa and latin america, the middle east and southeast asia, so that our economy, while it starts to go up now over the summer, it will hit an early plateau unless we can vaccinate the world. this is the biggest problem right now that i'm seeing from the biden administration. i'm not seeing a coherent framework how we're going to vaccinate the world. we're hearing one-off gestures of donating some of our stockpile or relaxing patents. but that's not really going to help us vaccinate the world p

more than 40% are fully vaccinated, but a new study reported in "journal of the american medical association" finds vaccinations alone will not stop this pandemic even though they do reduce sickness and deaths considerably. masks and physical distancing, experts maintain, are still needed to get transmission rates down because so many millions of americans continue to refuse to get the vaccine, so as cnn's alexandra field reports for us now, one expert says it would be, a quote, monumental error to think that the pandemic is over. >> just the best feeling in the world to finally she. >> reporter: the triumphant return of travel. >> i think there's a real excitement about having the tourists come back to our town. it's what we live and breathe for. >> the unofficial start of summer, memorial day weekend, marked the busiest air travel stretch we've seen during the pandemic with nearly 9 million people passing through airports. >> we're really seeing a faster recovery than anticipated. i think everyone nationwide had expected about a higher recovery ramp. >> reporter: with the average number of

the american medical association said this bill was vetoed it. they overrode it.ke a listen. >> it certainly boosted my, i guess, mood morale. it's given me an outlook on life that, yeah, it's worth it. i can be who i want to be and not have to, you know, have to hide anymore. it allows me to feel truly like how i want to feel. >> and what happens, do you fear, if you lose that care? >> i mean it would -- it would take me back to a time before i really came out, you know. it was really depressing and things just didn't seem worth it anymore. >> show of hands, who would consider moving out of arkansas if this law does go into effect? >> joe, i remember when president obama left office, criticism that he was putting too much focus, too much attention on transgender rights. fast forward. on the other hand, republicans in 30 states seem to be putting more focus on them, but it's on the other side. outwardly anti-trans bills. >> one of the families raised their hands and said, if we have to move, that's not easy. you're moving away from your business, maybe grandparent

the association of american medical colleges is hopeful there's federal money coming from medical training, which might help and ruben ktvu fox two news. the coronavirus pandemic has triggered another very serious pandemic, drug use and overdoses among african americans are have soared in 2020, the cdc says. more than 92,000 americans have overdosed and died in the 12 months ending in november. that's the highest number ever recorded, and researchers at the university of california say they found it overall jump of 42% in overdose deaths last year, the largest increase was for black americans. think of more than 50% san francisco is closing to mass vaccination sites as the process of getting people vaccinated shifts to a smaller scale. the vaccination site at san francisco city college is set to close this saturday and the one at mosconi center on july 14th. the health department says shots will continue to be available at neighborhood sites, mobile access points, clinics and pharmacies. 81% of eligible san franciscans have received at least one back. seen dopes yet. another bay area. fire

know, it's nothing new and there is a fascinating split that you pointed to is that the american medical association says 96% of doctors have at least one shot. there was a survey from kaiser back in march that showed only 52% of front-line workers, nurses, people working in the hospitals, health care workers have it and part of the hesitancy was that it was new, that it was untested, that it didn't have full fda approval and that was the argument. some of those nurses made in this case that they lost, now a lot of them have been let go. but you're right, it feels like we've bumped up against a ceiling here. the white house yesterday announced it's not going to reach the 70% vaccination goal that it had set for the fourth of july. it just couldn't be any easier, frankly, to get it. they've done everything they could, the states have done everything they could, they're giving away cars, giving away million dollar lotteries, it's all there for the taking but the fact remains there is a certain percentage of the american population that flatly is not going to get vaccinated even as this delta variant m

all of the american medical association, american psychological association, they all oppose these billst's exactly so people understand what is inside this bill, what does it do practically? how would it affect athletes in the state of florida? >> it's still confusing because they've changed the essential provisions of the law, but at its core it says if you are a transgender female athlete you cannot participate in sports consistent with your gender identity. you may be required to show your birth certificate before you can participate. there is confusion about how this law is actually going to be enforced because there were enforcement provisions that were removed before the bill is actually signed and it goes to the court issue here which is desantis and anti-equality forces are in search of a problem that doesn't exist. so they're passing these bills in order to mobilize their base. we know this because the americans' principles project told "the new york times" in 2019 the bathroom bills no longer work. we have to target younger people in order to mobilize our base. younger, transg
