we're pleased to have with us an expert on all of the above, a pediatrician and dean of the school in baylor, and he's an author. let's be clear about pfizer and what they actually said, because from what i understand, this information that was leaked from israel was that people who'd been vaccinated, i believe the report was in january and february had, were starting to have lower efficacy in some cases, against the delta variant, i think down into the 60% range or 64%. but according to pfizer, didn't the head of pfizer, when a long time ago say that ultimately people would probably need to get another shot, you know, six to ten months after their final shot? >> yeah, anderson, let me break it down like this, and maybe it will clarify things. i've been saying for most of this year that eventually we'll likely need a third immunization of the biontech and pfizer vaccine, in other words, a booster. the reason for that is it will really jack up virus neutrali neutralizing anti-bodies. remember, as good a job as we're doing in the u.s. we're doing a non-job in africa and south america and south

they are sick and tired about the abject failure of baylor on both sides of the aisle.s point. there has been zero credibility and many americans could see what's going on here. it fits into a bigger pattern in a much broader pattern of many lies. they are making many lies to prop up the original life. the first line is that we are a divided country and everyone in this country is racist and we are systemically rates as, so on and so on. now they are telling other lies to keep this afloat. it sticks into this pattern that you can see whether it is the border voting rights. when you break it down and look at the facts and look at the details, there is nothing about the voters act that will deny anyone the right to vote. the truth does not matter to these people. kamala harris and all of the others, they are not going to come out and tell you the truth. they're not going to come out and tell you the facts. they're not going to come out and concerns about immigration. they don't care about the second amendment they don't care when it comes to voting. they don't care when i

let's discuss more now with a doctor who is an emergency medicine physician and medical director of baylorollege of medicine. doctor, on this issue of masks in schools, from a medical perspective, are they necessary? >> well, we've seen recently in the last few weeks as a matter of fact, there have been several outbreaks linked to summer camps in texas, illinois, kansas among other states. so what's worrysomeis that this could potential by be a microcosm and preview of what's to come when schools open in the fall. there are multiple school districts in plenty of states that require childhood vaccines in order for children to come to school as a public health measure. wearing a mask in order to prevent coronavirus is along the same lines. >> there are also growing questions about whether vaccines should be mandated in certain places. take a listen to the surgeon general this morning. >> patients coming to the hospitals are often vulnerable, and what you're seeing already is some hospitals include the covid-19 vaccine in their requirements. i think that's a very reasonable thing for hospital

dig deeper on where the country is headed with a doctor who is the dean of tropical medicine at the baylor college of medicine. a pleasure to have you on. the delta variant is in all 50 states. apparently with higher levels of trans transmism transmismissability. how long before it's the dominant strain in the united states? >> it's already headed there. according to the scripps institute, it's the dominant variant. in missouri more than 53% of the ice lats. elizabeth cohen pointed out it's popping up and the outbreaks are in low vaccination areas. there's a second piece to this. it's not only low vaccination rates but on top of that, high levels of the delta variant. right now the epidemic is probably at the worst in missouri. that two-hit model, low vaccinations and high delta seems to be the formula that really causes covid to take off. this is why it's taking off in arkansas, for instance. why it's taking off in wyoming. so those are the two things we have to look out for. i think what we need now is to really accelerate our vax naxs in those states if we're going to get our arms aroun

the warriors hosted baylor's davion mitchell jalen johnson from duke kai jones from texas and arkansas as moses moody after a workout at chase center. the prospects, all we're excited, of course, about the possibility of joining the dup's. and finally team usa basketball trying to find their footing out before the olympics. they're now facing another setback. >> the usa, australia exhibition game set for tomorrow has been canceled due to covid-19 protocols. we just learned earlier today, the nba star bradley beal will no longer be able to play in the olympics after being placed in covid-19 protocols. team usa coach gregg popovich said that jeremy grant was also placing covid-19 protocols out of precautions, but he should be able to travel with the team to tokyo on monday. now another player has entered protocols. so that obviously not the news that we want to hear. you know, just a week before the games get under way that they're having more and more players having to, you know, quarantine at this point. not good time. no, not at all. you just saw the precautions. they're taking trying

peter hotez, professor and dean of tropical medicine at baylor college of medicine and author of "preventing the next pandemic." good afternoon, dr. hotez. always appreciate having your expertise on. help us interpret this new cdc data. is this a game changer, an o outlier? how would you rate your cause for concern? >> well, the big cause for concern, boris, is the fact that this virus is accelerating down here where i am across the southern states and we just heard what's going on in georgia and remember, this is not even at the time when schools are reopening for in-person classrooms. that's going to start in a couple of weeks. so some of the louisiana parishes start august 9th. here in houston, august 23rd. this is just the warm-up act. we're going to start seeing lots of virus transmission, in part, because our vaccination rates here in the south are so miserable. look at the southern states in terms of adolescent vaccination rates. that's where there's the big disparity. so whereas the overwhelming majority of adolescents are vaccinated in the northeast, here in the south, none of the a

beset at the baylor college of medicine.ood to have you back, doctor. >> good morning. >> i don't know, i look at this and i say, part of me says, what's the big deal, right? we get flu shots every year because the flu changes every year. and you have to kind of keep up with those variants. is that the potential future that folks should be preparing for, that the vaccine protects you today, particularly from going to the hospital, particularly from dying, but as it develops in future years, you may need boosters? >> you know, i think this has been a question almost since the very advent of the release of the vaccines. we've always wondered whether or not immunity would wane and if we would need booster shots. what people have to remember is the development of the covid vaccines was very, very accelerated. typically in the past it took years to develop vaccines for certain conditions and this vaccine was developed in under a year. so there were still a lot of questions that were unanswered. right now we're coming up on about

peter hotez now, professor and dean of topical medicine at baylor college medicine.eing with us. something they were talking about there and something i know you want to talk about, these vaccine hold-outs and how request we conquer this if we can't people to understand the importance of the vaccines. you wrote back in april, you addressed and really predicted what we're seeing now would happen and you write, we know that the impact of advocacy and reaching out can be profound. they were just talking in that piece about how it's important to get to rural areas as well. but let's listen together too representative, republican representative from texas michael burgess. this is what he said last night about how to entice people to get the vaccine. >> i do know that i have heard from doctors offices who would like more of availability in their offices. i heard from pharmacists who would like an ability ever the vaccine in their pharmacies. places where people just to go and get care. they trust the information that they are given there. i think that's a more sensible app

also baylor. it's hard to hire right now amid a labor shortage. the prices of produce are going up across the country. seeing increases of 2% and some up to 20% for strawberries, oranges and bananas. according to recent consumer confidence, people are as confident in spending as they were before the start of the pandemic. that's good news for the farmers here. but their cost is escalated so quickly, it's hard to keep up with. back to you, charles. >> thanks, lydia. and this sue leonard from leonard grocery stores. great to see you. you're always in front of this great supermarket with the fresh produce. the only problem right now and you know it better than anybody else, people are floored by the prices of everything, particularly fruits and vegetables. >> well, some things have gone up, charles. the question we all have is that supply and demand or is it inflationary? we're seeing like i've been in the business 50 years, our family back here at stu leonards. i haven't seen the confluence of events like this where you're short on supply and seeing

peter oh tez, professor and dean at baylor's college of medicine.sident biden says the virus no longer controls our lives, direct quote. no longer controls our lives. do you agree with him on that? >> it's certainly true, wolf, for some segments of the country, maybe most segments of the country. but we now have these areas with outgoing outbreaks and are extremely vulnerable. they're areas where two things are going on, one, where vaccination rates are low and the delta variant occupies a significant percentage of the virus isolates. in missouri, 53% of the virus isolates are the delta variant. low vaccination rates, people are going into intensive care units in southern missouri. missouri is going to be a problem, arkansas is a problem. louisiana looks vulnerable to me because it has a low, low percentage of vaccinations, same in wyoming. this is what we'll be dealing with across the summer are these outbreaks is a surge if we or not careful. >> go through that in terms of the areas of the country with very disturbing low vaccination rates. how co

peter hotez from texas children's hospital and dean of the national school of tropical medicine at bayloru make of all this talk about a booster shot? is it too soon, or should the u.s. be more aggressive here? >> i think it's a complicated picture, but it goes something like this, jeff. we will likely at some point need a third immunization of the vaccination, a third mrna vaccine, yet another boost. that may be it for a while. the reason is because as good a job as we're doing overall in the u.s., we've done a terrible job in africa and latin america and southeast asia and given new variants an opportunity to arise and emerge. so by giving that third immunization we'll have higher levels of virus neutralizing antibody. i've been saying for all of 2021 so far we'll likely need a third immunization i would imagine next year. that's point one. the confusion, i think, is the press release from pfizer that says we need that third immunization because of the delta variant. that's not necessarily so. it looks like the two immunizations for most people are quite rbust against the variant. over

. >>> so medical director the baylor college of medicine and emergency medicine physician is with usted to jump off a point that paolo was talking about. we are a week away from kids going back to school. parents are wondering how dangerous is this variant particularly for children. >> i think the variant is dangerous not only for children, but for all of us. we have to remember and think about just how quickly this delta variant has spread. from when it was first seen in the united states in march it wa went from 1% of cases to 50% of cases at the beginning of july and currently the delta variant makes up over 80% of cases. it is directly contributing to the precipitous increase in daily covid cases that we are seeing in the united states. now, there has been some back and forth in terms of mask guidance for schools. i think that the cdc really needs to take a look at what's going on and needs to make sure that their recommendations are going updated with the nature of the pandemic. >> so let me ask you, with the politicization of mask-wearing, do you believe a mask mandate would ac

he also happens to serve as co-director for vaccination at texas children's and baylor college of medicineliar with you, take a brief moment at the top and tell good people watching how and why it is in your life, you have become so familiar, let's say, with the anti-vax crowd? >> yeah. i wish it were for good reasons, brian. thanks for asking me. i'm a vaccine scientist and pediatrician and devoted my life the developing vaccines, mostly for poverty-related diseases. i took coronavirus vaccines about ten years ago but i'm also the parent of four adult kids including rach heel has oughtism and intellectual disabilities. a few years ago i wrote a book called vaccines did not cause rachel's autism, debunking that there is a link that vaccines cause autism. showing there is no link with what we know of the genetics of autism. unfortunately, that may be the number one thing. one called never og villain. that means the original gangster villain. so you have the original gangster villain on tonight, brian. >> we're proud of it. this must be an incredible experience. i'm guessing there is a set a

peter hotez, the dean of tropical medicine at baylor college of medicine, also the author of the book, "preventing the next pandemic: vaccine diplomacy in a time of anti-science." great to see you. i know that you have said that the delta variant is, quote, like nothing we have ever seen before. but you've seen a lot of deadly viruses. why is this so different? >> well, what really concerns me, alisyn, is, in terms of adult infection, how transmissible this is. the reproductive number is really up there. it's twice as transmissible as anything we've seen before with covid-19. and practically speaking, it means if you've been lucky enough to escape covid so far and you've not been vaccinated, you know, there's a high probability you're going get covid over the next few weeks. that's how transmissible this is. especially in areas where vaccination rates are low, because that facilitates transmission. so, being down here in the south, you're just watching this freight train coming that delta is going to sweep across the south and so many people are going to get infected with this fake na

peter hotez at the baylor college of medicine, co-director of the texas children's center for vaccine development. linda lamar is a democratic state representative. representative lamar, let me start with you. how has this happened in your state? where is this pressure coming from, this backlash towards the public health officials and particularly dr. fiskus. >> i'm back on the show. once again tennessee republicans are making us an embarrassment. last month in the government operations committee, which i was sitting in, the republicans were asking questions of the department of health about the information they're giving out to minors about vaccine distribution. they had concerns and they did not appreciate the department, what they said was marketing to teenagers based on this mature minor doctrine. well, at the time we only had eight teenagers that have taken the vaccine without their parents. three of them were the department of health and family and children. what we have done, because the republicans don't believe covid-19 is real and we're making political statements with the d

hotez from texas children's hospital and the dean of the national school of tropical medicine at baylor school of medicine. yesterday the conversation was this is like a common cold. be careful. wash your hands. keep your distance. you probably are going to infect one or two people. this is a new world, especially when you talk about the exponential growth of cases if one person is infected on arch eight or nine people. >> yeah. that's right. and the initial numbers we saw, we knew that this was going to be twice as transmisable as the original lineage. now we're getting higher numbers. we're not quite measles territory yet, but it's really, really infectious and contagious. and that's why this thing spread like wildfire across the indian subcontinent and the same in the uk and why it's going to happen in the southern united states and the mountain states where so few people are vaccinated. especially young people are vaccinated. the other piece to this that we're hearing and this is not as firm as the -- how transmisable it is, is whether it's producing more severe illness as well. and

vaccine development at childrens' hospital and dean of the national school of tropical medicine at baylor college of medicine. good to see you again, sir. let's start with the cdc internal report, which we received yesterday. among some of the things that we learned, the agency says, quote, the war has changed with the spread of the delta variant. noting it's causing more severe illness, it spreads as easily as chicken pox. additionally, the cdc says breakthrough cases may be as transmissible as those in unvaccinated people. all really important points to think about. i'm curious your biggest takeaways from the document and what does this mean, this snapshot in time, relative to the whole pandemic? >> i think, alex, the most important message that people need to take away is that if you're not vaccinated, this virus is different from our previous covid-19 virus lineages, in that it's so much more transmissible. two to three times more transmissible than the uk variant, the b.1.1.7, which was more transmissible than the original lineage. so we're looking at something that's up there with c
