visiting scholar at the city university of new york graduate center welcome back to democracy now! you can talk about the significance of the biden victory and the close relationship between jair bolsonaro and president trump, what the ending of that alliance can mean, and what jerry bolsonaro is doing right now in brazil, especially when it comes to covid. as a very important victory for brazilians because the progressive movements in byzil can also be inspired this election here. it is important to remember the result of this election in the u.s. is because of the work of grassroots movements here that electebiden. and now bolsonaro in brazil is even more isolated. and i think he also plays this game of fake nationalism when he defends there should be no regulation, no environmental for middle and destruction in the amazon increasing. but that is fake nationalism because the fires and that destruction of the amazon really benefits large multinational cooperations, mining, agribusiness, financial corporations. so i think it is important also for the social movement in the u.s. to m

and even then, we've done some calculations with a group at city university of new york, you're stillng to need about 70% of the u.s. population to be vaccinated. so it's going to be a while before we get there. so we're still going to -- we have to think about these vaccinations at least initially for the first few mondays as companion technologies alongside social distancing and masks, not replacement technologies. life will start to get measu measurably better. in a year, we'll be in a better position. now is not the time to be defiant. now is the time to save the life of your father, your mother, your brother, your sister. if we do that, we can get our population vaccinated starting in the first part of the new year and then really ramp up in the spring. and think how terrible people feel knowing that they lost the life of a loved one that could have been saved had they just paid attention for these next couple of months. >> such an important message. dr. peter hotez, thank you as always for taking time for us today. >>> some top republicans are starting to break ranks with presid

city reached its 3% positivity threshold and was roundly criticized for what was perceived as prioritizing new york's economic recovery. with me, mackenzie mays, and dr. ashish jha, dean of the brown university mayor bill de blasio here in new york, he basically called this 3% positivity rate an arbitrary number and maybe schools shouldn't necessarily be closing because of this 3% positivity rate. i was covering this story throughout the week. this 3% positivity rate is actually more of the rate consistent within the community of new york city, not necessarily within the school system. what do you think is actually going on here and do you think schools should be shutting down when they have lower positivity rates? in new york city schools i believe it's 0.2%. >> so thank you for having me on. schools should not be shutting down in new york city or really almost anywhere else. we've seen very, very little spread of the virus in schools, especially k-8. i think the 3% number, as i understand it, was just an agreed-on number to open the schools over the summer. we've learned so much more about schools over the last few months. and i think one of the things we've learned is that you can keep sc
