ashish jha is here to discuss the latest. joining me now in studio for the first time. great to see you. you heard dr. fauci, the administration is launching a new campaign urging people to get those flu shots, get those covid boosters, i think about 11% have gotten the booster so far, maybe 42 million, people aren't listening, what do you do? >> first of all, good morning. thank you for having me here. so, look, it's been obviously a long 2.5 years for americans and we understand that, you know, people want to move on the good news is, people can move on if they keep their immunity up to date. i really think when you look historically people tend to get their flu shot in november/december, into january, i think we're going to see a lot more people getting vaccinated in the upcoming weeks. this is why we're launching the campaign we are right now because we think it's incredibly important as we head into the holidays for people to get the new covid vaccine, get the flu shot, it's a great way to stay safe this holiday season. >> also this ucla study that says adult flu r

ashish jha, welcome back to dr.e, thanks for shaving me back. we're seeing a resurgence of flu, we're seeing covid cases tick up but the good news is we've got two highly effective vaccines and the most important thing people can do to protect themselves and their families this holiday season is to get those vaccines. we're ready to help hospital if they're overwhelmed and extra staffing we're ready to manage this flu and covid season ahead. >> get vaccines for both, how should people sequence those vaccines? >> yeah, i will tell you i got them both at the same time, totally safe and reasonable to do that, that's what i've been recommending, if you want to keep them apart that's fine, but it's totally safe and very effective at the same time and then you're done. >> you have one very tough day when you get them both at the same time. i spaced myself out and had two medium bad days over a couple of weeks, but how effective is this year's vaccine against the flu? >> yeah, it's actually quite effective. it's not every

ashish jha. dr. jha, great to see you.k about covid and what you expect to happen this winter. obviously we're all getting ready to celebrate thanksgiving with our family and then hanukkah, and then christmas, and so if you look back at what happened last year, exactly a year ago, things were down. covid cases were down, and then you see a huge spike if we put up this graphic in december and january, and then it levels off again, you know, in march and april. are you expecting to see that again this year? >> yes, alisyn, thanks for having me back. what i would say is we know that the virus circulates more efficiently when the weather is colder. people are spending more time indoors and as you said, each of the last two winters we have seen an increase in covid cases and i think it stands to reason that we're going to see that again. i'm hoping we're not going to see anything like the spike we saw in january, but we may very well still see a lot more infections in the weeks and months ahead. the good news though is that we

ashish jha. doctor, always a pleasure to see you. i thank you for being with us.e concerned about the potential of another winter surge like the one we saw last year? >> thanks for having me back. we are planning for a variety of scenarios. what we know is we are seeing a rise of both flu and covid and obviously rsv is at pretty high levels. there's some data that rsv is starting to turn down and i'm hoping that pans out, obviously. here's the other factor we know, if people go out and get the highly effective flu vaccine, we have a very effective flu vaccine this year, and we have a very effective covid vaccine, if people do those things, it will put a substantial kind of relief for hospitals, it will dramatically reduce the demand for hospital care. we're trying to make sure americans understand that there's a lot they can do to protect themselves and keep those hospitals functional for all the other reasons that we need hospitals. >> and so, doctor, talk to me about this highly effective flu vaccine. it's the quad, i guess, vaccine. what is effectivetivity look

ashish jha, who is the white use covid coordinator, thank you so much. dr. jha: thank you. today from a reliable source that the federal reserve may start to taper its string of consistent interest rate hikes as soon as next month. at the same time, the central bank tries to tamp down inflation. but that doesn't mean higher interest rates are over yet. and as william brangham tells us, some democrats and economists worry the fed has already hit the brakes too hard. william: judy, the fed has raised interest rates six times this year. today, federal reserve chair jay powell suggested again during a speech at the brookings institution that a seventh hike albeit a smaller one is on the way next month. in a wide-ranging interview, he signaled rates could remain high for some time to combat inflation. and he said that while rising wages were not the reason inflation initially spiked, he said they're a key part of the puzzle now. chair powell: the inflation that we saw at the beginning of this episode back in march of 2021, it was not really related to wages at all. it was relate

ashish jha, what the white house's covid coordinator is calling a six-week sprint to try to get moremericans to get boosted ahead of the rest of the holiday seasons. it will include a public education campaign with some paid advertising on digital and on tv around the world cup, $350 million to boost community health center vaccination efforts, $125 million in grants to support vaccination efforts aimed at disabilities and elderly communities, and then also the cms, the center for medicaid -- medicare services is expected to send out a letter to nursing homes reminding them on their duty to educate their members of the benefits of covid vaccination. but the unmistakable message today from dr. fauci, from dr. jha, was that listen, these vaccines are effective, they have new data to show that these bivalent boosters are indeed effective, and that they can prevent deaths. we're in a situation right now where dr. fauci and dr. jha said we could essentially have nearly every death that's happening from covid be prevented by these vaccines but in order for that to happen more people, parti

ashish jha and dr.hold a briefing as a rise in respiratory illnesses cause a strain on hospitals across the country. hospitals are bracing for another possible influx of patients to a system that is already stretched thin. joining us is stephanie gosk. good morning. how can we protect ourselves this holiday? >> you know, jose, it's the same kind of advise we have been saying all along during this pandemic. things like wear a mask even though you may not want to, wash your hands, that kind of thing. you have the country on the move for this holiday, when people are on the move, these viruses are on the move. flu, rsv, covid, and people who are getting sick are getting advice from their doctors that they probably don't want to hear. and that's stay home. hospitals across the country are being pushed to the limit. emergency rooms are filling up with cases of covid-19, the flu, and rsv. the respiratory virus that can make children under a year old extremely sick. >> there have been days when we had 30 to 40

. >> and i want to play for you what the -- how the white house covid coordinator ashish jha described that policy. listen to thirs. >> i think it is difficult to con tape through the zero covid strategy. i would ask them to get the ele elderly vaccinateds. >> a assume you agree. what do they do with it? what is your perspective on this? >> i agree with dr. jha and i think the chinese need to protect their most vulnerable population which right now is largely unprotected. only about half of chinese over the age of 60 have gotten a booster and again with a relatively ineffective booster. only 20% of chinese over the age of 80 have been boosted and these are the populations that will die or get seriously ill from infection with the variants that are currently circulating. so what the chinese should do is they should start a mass program with mrna vaccine and they should embrace the western vaccine mrna technology, import them in large quantities and start going after the most vulnerable populations. that will enable them to loosen their zero covid restrictions while protecting the people

ashish jha, who leads the covid-19 response from the white house says that these types of lockdowns arec that what china needs to do in order to can contain the pandemic is not focused on lockdowns but ramp up their vaccination program in try to get as many people, including the elderly, vaccinated in the country. here at home in the u.s., the white house has been pushing and is engaged in a six-week push to try and boost and increase the amount of boosters that people are getting heading into the holiday season. >> all right, arlette saenz, thank you so much. this morning, house intel chairman adam schiff three bumping a washington post piece, telling cnn that he's does not believe that the final january six committee report will focus solely on former president donald trump. he would like the report, he says, to be as broad as inclusive as possible. >> let start with that post report, which was a really remarkable report. staffers were told that the final january 6th report would almost likely almost entirely focused on donald trump, potentially leaving out a significant amount of you

stephanie: the president's covid coordinator, ashish jha, said in the end, "you can trust america's physiciansu can trust some random dude on twitter." we'll returto this after the news summary. the state of california today issued former complaints against the university of california system for unfair labor practices. 40,000 academic workers are striking, seeking better pay. it is the country's largest work stoppage this year. a state labor agency said uc regents failed prior to the strike to bargain in good faith and unilaterally set compensation. and today in los angeles, a jury found in a first-of-its-kind verdict that the ncaa was not negligent in the death of an ex-football player who had brain damage. matthew gee, a star linebacker for usc, endured an estimated 6000 hits that caused permanent brain trauma known as cte. in the past decade, hundreds of wrongful death and personal injury lawsuits have been brought against the ncaa by college football players or their families. it's going to be even tougher for investors to recoup funds from ftx, the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange. today

ashish jha. you were there at that briefing, as we noted. dr.when it comes to these boosters, i know you're on a booster push right now, but when it comes to this push, people wanting to know how long this protection is going to last with these new boosters. what can you tell them? >> so good morning, and, first of all, thanks for having me back. here's what we know. we know these updated vaccines are far superior to the other vaccine that we had. it makes a lot of sense, right? these new vaccines target the version of omicron that's out there. that's fact number one. fact number two that we know is that if people are up to date on their vaccines, they don't end up in the hospital, they don't end up dying, especially if they have a breakthrough infection. so we're now at a point where we can protect people from serious illness. how long are these things going to last? well, the benefit certainly for a majority of people from serious illness should probably last close to a full year. for high-risk people it might last a little less time. we might
