about the vaccine that's perpetuated out there, we want people to read about the vaccine, go to the cdc website. go talk to your doctor. it's safe. it's very effective. it's generally very safe and, you know, we want you to protect yourself and your families >> well, dr. curtis chan, i can't tell you how much we appreciate you spending time with us. good luck. >> thank you. >> we'll take a short break on the >>> and we are back. we have dr. patel on this big day. there's a recommendation but we need you to mask up indoor so dr. patel has prepared another round of two truths and a lie. >> you've got to get this right. with our viewer's help you will tell me ask bans requiring. or b, all outreach has for routine vaccination, also measles, hpv and others. c, two vaccines have clear evidence of being protected dense the delta variant. >> folks, i'm checking your facebook responses. a, b or ck one is the lie. i might need a little help. i know the as is not b i they tennessee has taken the step of stopping outreach which has led to some health officials to resign. we have a few viewers saying a and

. >>> keep a close eye on the cdc website. with the delta variant surging, hot spots to avoid, especially if you're not vaccinated. florida, missouri, texas and nevada seeing particularly large surges and cdc says think long and hard before visiting las vegas or south florida. >> if you're unvaccinated, this is a dangerous vacation you would be planning. putting yourself and other people might come into contact to at risk. >> in casinos, people weren't wearing masks, mainly the employees and restaurant workers. patrons, nobody really cared. >> sobering also, contra costa county among the high concentration areas right now. if you're unvaccinated there, avoid eating inside, going to movie theater or working out inside a gym. >>> u.s. has hit a wall getting more people vaccinated. new poll might tell you why. ap poll says 45% unvaccinated americans saying they will not get the shot. 35% said probably won't get vaccinated. just 3% said they would definitely get the shot. as you know, biden administration's goal has been to get 70%

you can go to the cdc website and it's reported that close to 6,000 people have reportedly died from misinformation. >> the cdc website says reports of deaths after covid vaccination are, quote, rare and weren't necessarily caused by the vaccine. greene now sidelined from twitter for 12 hours and warns she could be permanently banned if she continues sharing misinformation. mike shields, cnn political commentator and former rnc staff chief. thanks to both of you. mike, look, i know you don't agree with a lot of what marjorie taylor greene says, and certainly not her constant vaccine skepticism. but you don't think twitter should stop her from using their platform to spread her message, even if it is misleading? tell me why. >> first of all, i'm vaccinated, everyone should get vaccinated. it's safe. look, this is america. we have free speech. even people saying dumb things are allowed in our country. twitter is a platform that looks biased. it looks like it only does this sort of thing to conservatives. the iranian regime gets onto twitter and denounces israel and says israel should n

the cdc website lists a number of vaccine myths, from the absurd, magnetism, two things that could reasonably concern someone. >> for example, there's a big myth, but it could sound reasonable, about infertility in young women. and that's where ob/gyns are coming out actually and talking about how this is not toxic. >> reporter: dr. monica gandhi says the misinformation battle is just part of this. >> we have to be compassionate that the messaging out there is really scary and really misinformed, and really methodologic, and it's going to take time to break down those barriers. >> reporter: the other holdouts present a different challenge. >> you are vaccinated? >> i am. >> do you know anyone who is not? >> yes i do. i got the impression that they don't feel that the government should be telling them what to do. >> what would change their minds? >> i don't think anything will. >> reporter: and that may be the case, though health officials think one factor could drive those people to reconsider, and that is the current rise in cases. >> i used to think fear was the right approach, but it seems

f right now we have many reports of side effects and according to the cdc website there are reports ofr 12,000 deaths. this is important information for people to know. also i tweeted how obesity is one of the biggest risk factors that leads to hospitalization and death and this is a very important thing i don't see enough people talking about. if we care about people and we care about their health and their safety then we should care about helping them with the number one risk factor that could leave the hospitalization and that is obesity. if we talk about going door-to-door to ask people if they had the vaccine and offer iteo then we should definitely talk to people about how to reducek obesity there are membes of the military you don't want to be forced to take the vaccine. i get banned for 12 hours. they are calling it misinformation but yet we have the doctor that spread misinformation for a long time now. every single one of us have been victims of covid. doctor fauci was involved in funding for the research. this virus that has been made,ad it is a man-made virus and the proof

the actual numbers from the cdc website. from 2019 to 2020, a total of 124 children died of covid.is year a total of 213 children died of covid. by comparison the influenza virus killed more than 400 children last year. in fact that was not an aberration. influenza killed far more children than covid has in 5 years. it's not close. assuming that the cdc's numbers on underaged death from covid are accurate. it looks like they are not. in a recent report the cdc itself acknowledges it could be over-reporting the number of children who died from covid. the cdc report saying 2.5% of those who died had co existing medical condition. for children under age 18, it was over 35% who died from covid had an unrelated medical condition. more than a third of children listed on the record as dying from covid had a co-morbiditty. they might be related to the death of those insurance. -- children. why are we getting so precise about these numbers? these numbers are used to justify putting a mask on your third grader for a year at school. what is the effect on a child of doing that. of breathing co

. >> actually, the cdc website, and i really hope you look it up says right here. >> the vaccine but numbness -- >> 12,000 313 reports of death among people who received a covered vaccine. >> that doesn't mean that vaccine causes it. >> we don't know. i think it needs to be investigated. it's important to investigate it, don't you? don't you want to know the truth? you definitely want to know the truth, right? you can report that. you are reporting a lot of information which means what you report makes you responsible as well. >> the question twitter take your tweet that's at the vaccine causes death, that's misinformation. >> is twitter the cdc? i don't believe so. i don't think twitter is in charge of our government, is it? i think you need to analyze the angle you are coming from. twitter is not in charge of what information is correct or incorrect and you see, that's another problem because twitter is declaring itself the judge of whose voice is right and wrong so wouldn't it be appropriate for us to investigate these 12,000 deaths and find out did the vaccine caused the death? w

this go to the cdc website.ng to centers for disease control and prevention, a total of 335 americans under the age of 18 have died from coronavirus in this country. that's the number. but what is the number mean exactly? that cdc did not provide any specific information on the circumstances of those deaths. in the circumstances can be all important. so research is at john hopkins looked closely at those numbers and what they actually meant and here's what they found. "they may mandatory daily rate of zero among children without a pre-existing medical condition as leukemia." oh, leukemia is a very serious underlying medical condition. so does that mean that no one under 18 without a serious underlying medical condition died from covid? it seems that way. so then it isn't as a matter of silence and -- including millions without pre-existing conditions to get vaccines and wear a mask all day? what about adults who already have had covid? there are millions of those. the john hopkins researchers found that the cbc

the big problem is what the president is not telling young people, the cdc website itself warns thesecines cause women to clot, women under 50, myocarditis, heart inflammation young people and boys, the fda had a warning to that effect to the moderna and pfizer vaccine and any warning about a rare side effect that could cause your immune system to attack healthy cells. that could be what is fueling the hesitancy of the young but i don't think of popstar and president biden will overcome those facts. >> those are some of the adverse reactions and possible side effects and if people want to make an informed decision they could take it all into account are not. that is their right. she is adorable, she could be by daughter average, adorable young girl but i'm not sure -- what this is about. they keep saying listen to the science, this is an incredibly successful popstar. what -- >> give young people, give all of us the information on the side effects particularly those are not as vulnerable. the amazing thing is the media operation, the white house deployed their media operation to put d

say about it.o they have been trying to get counter information out there, through a number of cdc websites, through local community groups and organizations. there's -- they're countering it, it makes it a really difficult problem to take on. im think that's why you see public health officials saying they just have to slug the zone with a message, and hope they can drown out the information that is coming across on social media and other platforms. but they have been trying to do that for months now. it's going to be difficult to change that trajectory. and i will add, too, it's not just disinformation. the vaccination rates are lowes among younger people, 18 to 24-year-olds. and a lot of them just say it's because they're not as concerned about it because statistically the virus doesn't affect them as much. and that n'afis, you know, it'sn a statistical fact. they have to counter that information with the new reality we're living in of the delta variant. >> shannon, claire, general mccaffrey, thanks for starting us off. >>> coming up, more on the bracingon details emerging abou the trump

hey matt.ct >> tucker, the cdc's website posted an active thallium self-reports team reviewed as potentially production. it's called the vaccine excess reporting system. seth halley sat around 6,000 and suddenly spiked the fall thousand. and now it fell back down to 6,000. a short while ago, the cdc told us that the fluctuation was anac honest mistake. that meant the death report tally was temporarily combined with the international number. that has since been corrected. the current confirmed number of deaths being reviewed as possibly linked to a covid vaccine. 6,207. 6,000 reports have been submitted to be probed for a link to a vaccine. the cdc tells us that many of the 6,000 forests have already been reviewed and determined not to be caused by a vaccine. in fact, the cdc insist that so far it has independently confirmed three total deaths were linked to a vaccine. all three of those came from the top so my johnson & johnson shots are 51 mathematics. for you. so the question is not what the number is. we can debate that. the question is are we as a country or the federal agencies making a

they have been trying to get counter information out there, through a number of cdc websites, through local community groups, organizations, there is an acknowledgment that people don't necessarily trust information that comes from the government, so they try to find other channels to get information out there. but if there's another fire hose of disinformation countering it, it makes it very difficult -- it's a difficult problem to take on. that's why you see public health officials saying, they just had to flood the zone with the message and hope they can drown out the information that is coming across on social media and on other platforms. they have been trying to do that for months now. it's going to be difficult to change the trajectory. i will add to, it's not just disinformation, the vaccination or the lowest among younger people, 18 to 24-year-olds, a lot of them say that it is because they are not as concerned about it because statistically the virus doesn't affect them as much. that is, has been a statistical fact, they will have to counter that information with the new rea

. >> yeah, so we had our staff go through the cdc's website and see what they were citing to justifyask mandate. it turns out they are citing a single study from india. that study by the way is assessing of a vaccine that isn't approved in the u.s. it's assessing the strench vaccine. we dug a little further and it turns out that that study was also rejected in peer review. they changed the stalls of rejection to revised the day of the cdc's announcement. this is extremely suspicious. so you have a single study, not from our country, not with a vaccine that we even use. it gets worse than that so, the cdc and the administration keeps saying they are going to come out with other studies. well, behind closed doors they have told reporters they have no such data. they have no other studies. >> tammy: really? >> at all. we have that on the record. stat reported that. there is -- this is clearly politically driven. and it goat a deeper problem and a deeper divide amongst how we have confronted coronavirus. and the left want you to be scared. they want you to be controlled. they want to spe

i think when i need information on covid, i go to the cdc website. i look at published articles in reputable journals. you know, and so those are the places we should be getting all of our information. everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, but we have to look at the quality of that information. what does the true science show. and what does the example we're living at the moment, 90% of people who are in a hospital are unvaccinated. so that right there is pretty good evidence that getting your vaccine helps. so follow the good science. look at the websites of organizations that are reputable and have good data and follow the science. >> doctor, thank you very much for your time. best of luck to you as you continue to battle the pandemic. >>> now to the origins of covid. tensions building as china issues a new warning to the u.s. stop investigating. cnn's david culver is live with more on this warning. what can you tell us this morning? >> we know the origins of covid. here in china in particular. one of the most sensitive issues. that play

to date, only 844 cases from north carolina have been sequenced according to cdc's website. we had over 1 million cases. it seems there is a major problem again at cdc. at cdc's recent updated mask guidance for schools, communities should use local outbreak data to make decisions yet i would challenge that only if 144 cases were sequenced, the locals. people don't have the da they need to make that determination for what the policy will be at a local level, would you agree? >> that discussion is based on cases, not variance so we are getting data from around the country based on variance as well based on local health departments within north carolina in all states as well as academic centers and commercial labs and recommendations for schools was based on test positivity and positive cases, not necessarily based on their and.sa >> student transparency by the local health department about the variance in their community be important to that decision what they do and disclose? >> absolutely and we have datath by region forbearance posted on our website that haven't updated this

an example of that, you know, there's this website, the cdc has that, where people self report injuries and deaths, according to corona virus, is called the there's reporting system when someone goes on social media and post the government numbers from there's that information is taken down. the by the administrator wants to taken down, right, because they say it's misleading or it's harmful to their cause to get people to take vaccines. and so this is enormously problematic. glen greenwald, who obviously broke a lot of news when it was found to be intercept to the interview. the edward snowden talked about this. he says we had for years, people screaming that, that trump was a fascist, and we had a fascist white white house. he says, how is anything more fascists than a government directing social media companies on what content to purge and to sensor what's more fascist than that. and then we talked about this at the beginning of the se, but the surgeon general's office issued a new report wednesday titled confronting health misinformation. that makes recommendations for social media

at the beginning of the pandemic, apis were lumped into the other category on the cdc website. but from the data we half we know that, native hawaiians and pacific islanders have experience some of the highest covid-19 infection and mortality rates than any other racial group including my home state of california where the case rate for pacific islanders is 31% higher than the statewide rate. despite guidelines from omb and positions of the affordable care act that require asian americans and pacific islanders to be lifted in separate categories in federal demographic data sets, the cdc data currently lumps asian americans into one category and hospitalisation data. all this lack of data goes far beyond covid, it also impacts our ability to understand and addressed broader and economic education to housing disparities. unfortunately, our current collecting data facilities for the office of management budget and not been updated over two decades. how does working to promote data for the population and are there any plans to revise current omb data collection standards to ensure
