elizabeth: brett giroir, what was china's military do with this coronavirus? what are you hearing?nnot be underestimated. you can look at their public doctrine or some other doctor gunter documents about the biological weapons convention in 2011 when they talk about synthetic biology and its ability to create weapons and to create ethnic weapons, what i mean by that is being able to target a biological weapon against certain ethnic groups. we should not underestimate the extent of their biological program i am sure they are using coronavirus and any other virus they can get their hands on not that this was yet weapon nice but is likely part of a program. elizabeth: interesting with what the doctor just said scientists including scientists who wrote an op-ed in the wall street journal have repeatedly said they cannot find the sequence, the dna inside the sars cove to virus that sequence has not been found in nature, they tested 80000 samples from more than 200 species, it's in on in nature, saw found in nature yet, what are your thoughts about that. >> i think it underscores why we

brett giroir is starting by. first to dr. janet, fox news medical contributor who has been digging for more information. doctor, great to see you here. the white house saying the delta variant spreads quickly. the cdc say cdc says it spreads as quick as chicken pox. do you see enough data to support these claims? >> i've heard enough data. we'll have more released later today. but just like when we have a tornado or a hurricane, we want the warning before it hits. that's what the cdc has done. they told us this virus, the new variant is more contagious. it spreads faster than sars, the flu, the common cold. it can affect up to nine other people. whereas the common cold affects up to two or three other people. so the new data that we have is telling us, if you're vaccinated or unvaccinated, the delta variant can produce the same viral load in your nose that means it can spread easier from person to person. this is why they're saying indoors, in a high risk area to put your mask on even if you're vaccinated. this is not to prot

i want to get to former hhs secretary brett giroir on this.ew developments? >> well, i think that the truth is starting to manifest itself. it's well known that the french from collaborated to build the lab and then kicked out after it was up and running, a concerning behavior if you want transparency and openness of research, you don't kick out the people that help you build the lab and train your people, this is known and another piece of direct evidence for us to be very concerned about the origins of this virus, which i believe is from the wuhan lab. >> charles: former assistant hhs secretary. so france helps them out 2015. 2017, china severs their ties over complaints. when this lab was built, was it always built with the intention of focusing on gain of function, which is controversial since america seems to also made investments in china's ability to manipulate viruss in the first place. >> it's hard to know the intent in 2004-8 when the lab was being built. we had clear evidence that gain of function research or if not technically gain

admiral brett giroir.come to "prime time" and thank you for taking the opportunity. >> thanks for having me. >> first let's do this empirically. is there a problem with misinformation when it comes to the vaccine? let's look at the data. two polls. one, in terms of the gap in vaccination rate. the cue to the control room is p-2. counties that voted for biden versus counties that voted for trump as obvious metrics of partisan preference. you see the rate of increase in gap between those who are vaccinated. next, if we look at it in terms of ethnic identity versus partisan identity, blacks, hispanics, republicans. 65% blacks. 70% hispanics. only 54% republicans. now wet get to you. which is do you believe that misinformation that plays to poison partisanship is part of the problem with why people aren't getting vaccinated, sir? >> so thanks, chris. and let me say, first of all, that as a pediatric icu physician and as a member of the trump administration for three years the covid vaccines authorized in this

brett giroir, part of the trump white house coronavirus task force.bout this at the beginning of the week. it's important that we stop and remember where we were a year ago. tiny gatherings, three people together on the fourth of july. it's really important that people to give credit where credit is due. if it wasn't for the pharmaceutical companies and the trump administration to do something that people didn't think could be done, to have a huge majority of the country vaccinated by now. >> we're in a different place. look at january 20th when we left office. we had two vaccines authorized, one just around the corner. we had already procured 900 million doses with an option to buy two billion more. we had 70,000 vaccine sites. we bought a billion needles, all the dry ice we needed and told the american people by june that everyone that wanted a vaccine could get one and that's what you see. the attempts to rewrite history by the biden administration will fail because the facts are so strong. sure, the biden administration deserves credit for impleme

. >> charles: i want your react here, admiral brett giroir. he was on fox earlier. take a listen. >> delta is really a new strain that is different than everything we've seen. so i'm real concerned that natural immunity, although real, is not sufficient against delta. if you don't have natural immunity and you're not vaccinated, you'll get delta. >> charles: what do you make of that, dr. price? >> i think that dr. giroir is accurate. you're at much greater risk of getting the delta variant infection if you've not been vaccinated. a couple of the folks on this panel have suggested that we ought to be following the science. if you follow the science, it will tell you what you need to do. the reason that i think some folks are having a difficulty getting the vaccine themselves saying yes, it's a good idea for me is because the administration hasn't shared the science. it's imperative that we talk about if you get the delta, if you're unvaccinated and you get infected, you're much more likely to be part of those individuals that are going to create a new variant. scienc

hotez, so, admiral brett giroir, the former assistant health secretary under the previous administration warns that the delta variant is so contagious that, if you have not been vaccinated and you did not, previously, have covid, you will become infected. what does that mean for children under the age of 12, who are ineligible to be vaccinated? >> well, it really depends on where those kids are, especially as schools open. and -- and the big vulnerability that i'm sounding the alarm about is the -- what's going on here, in the south. for instance, the state of louisiana, you've got where delta variant is accelerating now and kids are, already, starting to show up in pediatric intensive-care units. you have only got 17% of the adolescents vaccinated. 15, 16, 17% of the adolescents vaccinated. maybe, 30 to 40% of young adults. you've got the delta variant accelerating and -- and no mask mandates. so, this is a crucible. and as schools open, for instance, in some parishes in louisiana, you are probably looking at august 9th or 10th, when schools open. this is not going to go well. i think w

. >> bill: want to bring in admiral brett giroir, former hhs assistant secretary for health. good day to you. cdc says no to the mask. other pediatrician groups say 2-year-olds need to wear them in the classroom. is that necessary? >> so i still firmly agree with the cdc if you are fully vaccinated. we know vaccines are highly protected and you're protected. if you're fully vaccinated you should feel safe and not have to wear a mask. that guidance should continue and is correct. in terms of the american academy of pediatrics one thing they said it is imperative for all kids to get back to school in person. that statement was more about social change and social poll si and it was very light on the science. i completely disagree that children over 12 who are vaccinated should wear a mask. i think there is a strong argument that children under 12 should not wear a mask or at least that should be part of a debate and not just -- >> sandra: i think the confusion for a lot of parents when they have the american pediatrics making this statement suggesting such that kids as young as

the head of the former white house coronavirus task force admiral brett giroir this is what he had to science standpoint, let me be clear, if you are fully vaccinated, you are protected against the virus including the delta variant. and you are extraordinarily unlikely to be able to spread it, even if you get a mild case. so there is no scientific justification for this. i think this is just another example of california and los angeles flailing. they don't have a direction in their policy. we have seen that they had some of the most draconian measures but still had the worst rates. this will do nothing aside from undermining people's motivation to get vaccinated. and i would urge everyone in california, yes, please get vaccinated because it is good protection. if you are not vaccinated voluntarily, wear a mask to protect yourself until you get vaccinated. rachel: when you see people like john kerry and democrats who got on that plane without a mask and nancy pelosi getting her hair cut without a mask. pete: texas democrats fleeing. rachel: they don't believe this so i just keep askin
