jane: joining me for more as dr. a uday aqaba, director of the global health innovation center at duke university. thank you for joining me. are these passes medically ethical? can you withdraw privileges to somebody who chooses not to receive medical intervention? >> we have to recognize that we're in the midst of a public -- a global pandemic which has lost mom and 4 million lines. it is about balancing the benefits and the risks that without a doubt, we have to be careful around access to civil liberty rights. and also two issue around privacy. i think we can strike the right balance with the right transparency to ensure that people are keeping privacy and civil liberties as appropriate. but when they are in the public square, when they are accessin public services, and when they are around others, especially those that may be more vulnerable, that it is required to do something that has been proven to be safe and effective. jane: clearly europe is much further down the road of doing this and then here in the unite

joining us is volkswagen ceo dr. herbert diess joining us from company headquarters in germany.y much indeed for your time today. you have big ambitions in the united states. you're looking to take significant market share. how are you going to do this? what kind of assets are you going to need in the united states? what kind of platforms will you be building? mark: i think -- dr. diess: i think we have a historic opportunity to grow our market share in the u.s.. we are baked in china, over 20% market share. same situation in europe. we have been lagging behind in the u.s.. the u.s. is a country we love and our brands are well-established, but we missed out on many opportunities. if we go back to the 60's and 1970's, then we were in a steady decline. we recovered. we have been growing our market share with the newest car line both focusing on suv's. the u.s. is becoming an electrified country. the biden administration appends electrification. we have been advancing into fast charging. we are an investment phase which will be converted to electric car production. in the backgroun

dr. john torres joins me now dr.n, can you set it straight for us >> lester, the confusion started when israel announced it would give certain citizens with weakened immune systems a third shot to increase antibody levels but it is only for those with the most compromised immune systems like transplant patients and not the general population now in the u.s. the cdc and fda are meeting with pfizer to jumpstart the process. so if and when boosters are needed, which they may be, we will be ready. but for now the bottom line is, if you are fully vaccinated you don't need a booster shot, at least not yet. lester >> dr. torres, thank you. >>> in just 60 seconds, the biggest inflation jump in years. we will tell you which items are seeing the biggest surges and when relief might be in sight >>> you may be feeling it yourself, growing anxiety about inflation. we are now seeing the biggest surge in prices in well over a decade, and it is affecting just about everything we buy. our stephanie ruhle now on what you need to know.

joining me now is dr. jason wilson, the associate medical director for the tampa general hospital emergency department. dr. wilson, thank you for joining us. those numbers paint a really bleak picture. tell us how much the unvaccinated are driving this. >> these are very concerning numbers. we've seen a rapid shift over the last two weeks at our hospital for hospitalizations. and these hospitalizations are nine to one unvaccinated people versus vaccinated patients. for the most part, we see a case of a person who gets covid and they're vaccinated, we're able to send that patient home or follow them by surveillance. but right now our hospitals are filling up with unvaccinated patients who are sick and much younger than the patients we saw just a couple of months ago. these are people in their 40s and younger. >> 40s and younger, i mean, how young are we talking? >> these are young adults. these are people who have gone back and begun doing all the things we had mitigated against for so long while we waited

joining us is dr. gizzo, the director of kaiser permanente and a kaiser permanente employee and also a student at the academy. doctor, thank you for joining us. what are people learning? >> we're excited about the new practice kaiser permanente is working to increase the number of mental health professionals in california. so we started an innovative new program that gives employees who are passionate about mental health the opportunity to go back to school and pursue mental health degree studies such as masters degree in therapy, social work, even doctor in clinical psychology. this is a project we're doing to address the projected workforce shortages. >> yes. i think this is a really big deal. as i mentioned during the commercial break, mental health is something we focus on at abc7. we've been through it with the pandemic. i want to bring in fione. i feel people are driven top act based on personal experiences. what led you to sign up with the program. >> i was interested in mental health for much of

joining us, now, is dr. is the emergency room medical director for our -- our lady of the lake hospital in baton rouge, louisiana. doctor, thanks for joining us tonight after what i can only assume has been a very long day for you and your colleagues. um, of the people you are seeing, of the people you are treating, are they mostly unvaccinated? are any of them vaccinated? are you seeing breakthrough cases? >> yeah, well, thanks for having me. we are -- we're seeing breakthrough cases but 80% of the patients that are being hospitalized right now are unvaccinated. and as y'all said before, it's -- it's a younger group. it's -- 50% of these are under 50. a third of our patients are in the icu these last two weeks have been a nightmare. they've been way worse than any two weeks, combined, of the original part of the pandemic. this -- this delta variant is spinning us out of control. >> obviously, you know this and your colleagues know this and state officials know this. is the public registering this? are they

dr. tom frieden, is joining us right now. dr. frieden, thanks for joining us. could these clusters -- clusters of unvaccinated communities around the country set the whole country back in the fight against the pandemic? >> wolf, we're increasingly becoming two countries divided by covid. in parts of the u.s., where vaccination rates are high, cases are low and not increasing. in other parts of the country, or in communities where there isn't a high-vaccination rate, we're already seeing increases. and i anticipate, in the coming weeks, we'll see further increases. followed, sadly, by more hospitalizations and more deaths. the good news, though, is that our vaccines work extremely well, even against the delta variant. so, if you are not vaccinated, get vaccinated because it is our way out of this pandemic. >> dr. fauci also says the vaccine will protect people from the now-dominant delta variant, if they are fully vaccinated. but does your risk level change, dr. frieden, depending on the overall-vaccination rate in your particular community? >> if there's intens

dr. monica gandhi joins us now. first, doctor bhati, thanks for taking time. i know you're busy. we wanted to start with why does pfizer try to get emergency use authorization for covid is the shots when the cdc recommendation is that a booster isn't necessary right now? >> it's been a surprising 24 hours based on what you just said because what happened was if there are four large data sets, one from canada, one from the uk, and then one from the u.s. and a much smaller one from israel. and the israel data set show that up to two doses, the pfizer vaccine was not as effective in preventing symptomatic disease, 64% effective, however these larger data sets show 85%, 90% and even 96% in the public health england data set that came out against preventing similar disease. the delta variant looks very well covered by two doses of the pfizer vaccine and there was some antibody data of that nature in new england journal last couple of days. so all that put together a saying we don't see the need for a booster just because it's the delta variant. it's really spreading among the unvaccin

dr. sanjay gupta is joining us live from japan. ah, there's no place like panera.n the app today. - [narrator] at southern new hampshire university, we're committed to making college more accessible by making it more affordable. that's why we're keeping our tuition the same for all online and campus programs through the year 2022. - i knew snhu was the place for me when i saw how affordable it was, i ran to my husband with my computer and i said, "look, we can do this." - [narrator] take advantage of some of the lowest online tuition rates in the nation. find your degree at snhu.edu. >>> tonight there is great uncertainty hanging over the summer olympics as covid-19 cases spread. dr. sanjay gupta joins us live from tokyo where the olympics are set to begin friday. sanjay, the ceo of tokyo 2020 is not ruling out a last-minute cancellation of the games. that is just unbelievable to hear. >> stunning, but to public health officials maybe not that surprising. i mean, look, we'll look back historically at some point, jim. but you have an olympics games bringing in peopl

we have the perfect person to answer our questions and joining us is dr.d to have you here. >> thank you for having me. >> i want to ask you about the fda warning that j&j, has been linked to the serious and rare auto immune disorder the guillain-barre syndrome, excuse me, fewer than 100 cases among the 12.8 million people who have gotten j&j. how concerned should people be if they've gotten the j&j, vaccine? do you worry that this will dissuade people have getting vaccinated? >> whenever you hear of an adverse event you worry people might misinterpret it. as you mentioned it is a very rare event and it's real and that's the reason yet company and the fda have made it knowns that something that you need to pay attention to, but as is the case when you're dealing with 100 cases over 12.8 million vaccinations, it is still a very rare event and you try and balance what is the risk of covid-19 in a given population compared to the benefit of getting vaccinated compared to the adverse event and when the risk associated with the vaccine is very, very low, very r

to help explain this change in policy, i'm joined by dr.t joe biden. dr. fauci, dr. walensky was saying at the announcement today that this was based on data they've been collecting in realtime about delta variant transmission. what's the data, and what about the data pushes towards this is the policy recommendation? >> okay, there are two aspects, chris. one, we know that the delta variant is considerably more efficient in transmitting from person to person than the original alpha variant that we have been dealing with, number one. the delta variant is the dominant variant in this country. 80%, 85%, 90% in some regions. more importantly, it is clear now when there are breakthrough infections, namely, people who are vaccinated but still get infected with the delta variant -- which happens, because no vaccine is 100% effective -- we've learned, clearly now, without a doubt, that people who are vaccinated, get a breakthrough infection, actually have enough virus in their nasal pharynx, can transmit it to other people. right now the way you co

dr. fauci joins me live. >>> deal on brink, the infrastructure deal could collapse.ina, the u.s. and allies accusing beijing of hacking microsoft. what is the biden administration going to do about it now? thank you so much for being here. we have breaking news on multiple fronts on the pandemic and that where we must begin

dr. richard besser is joining us, the former acting director of the cdc. dr. besser, thanks for joining us. these aren't necessarily new strategies coming in today from president biden. so is any of this going to convince the people who simply don't feel the need to get vaccinated, to go out and get a shot? >> hopefully, wolf. hopefully each of these efforts in communities that are currently at very lovw levels o vaccination will pay off. in particular, if people are hearing from people they trust. i'm here in princeton, new jersey, and 75% of people in my town are fully vaccinated. the next town over, trenton, it's at 44%. so it's clear that we need to see much more taking place there. the focus on the national number of 70% doesn't have a lot of meaning. what matters is what the rate is in your community, in each neighborhood. and looking to address the challenges that there currently continue to be in some neighborhoods for getting vaccinated. >> there's a lot of focus, dr. besser, on primary care doctors, pediatricians providing the vaccine. will that, do y

joining us now is dr. patricia loftot. thanks for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> how common is loss of smell in covid patients during their illness? >> so actually it's a very common symptom. if you look at the literature, it's a little widespread in terms of the actual numbers. i would say, i would quote around 80 to 90% patients that contract covid experience a loss of taste or smell. >> many are actually having complete loss of smell. some will say it's more of a decrease. most of them notice very big change in their normal sense of smell. >> okay. what percentage do you think still reports symptoms or suffering from that after they recover from covid? >> yeah. so the data is showing that about 75 to 80% of patients who have smell loss of covid will fully recover that sense of smell in the first few weeks. they usually recover their sense of smell as they recover from covid. most patients. then moving on to about the six month mark, more patients start to regain their sense of smell. we get to 95% of patients

joining us dr. r at our lady of the lake regional medical center. doctor, thank you so much for joining us. how fast is the spread right now in your community? >> right now in the community the spread is exponential. and that exponential spread is because of the delta variant. we know now that delta variant carries 1,000 times more viral load and everybody who is sick with it and that spreads to more and more people than previous variants. last year's variant we thought was bad enough was far less contagious than this variant and that's resulting in just an exponential number of patients coming into the hospital. this morning we're sitting at 119 covid positive patients in our hospital, that's a 50% increase from just last week. >> we're looking at that chart right now. that incredibly steep rise you say exponential. you have your arms around it? is this something you can grasp? >> you don't get your arms around something like this. this isn't a controllable thing at this point. this is blocking and

joining us now is dr. fauci, director of the national institute of infectious diseases.ases in the united states. new infections are up in ten states. can you put this in perspective amid the dire warnings that it's doubling about every two weeks, what concerns you the most? >> well, what concerns me, anderson, are the people not vaccinated. clearly, the vaccines that we use in this country do quite well against the delta variant, particularly with regard to protecting against serious advanced disease requiring hospitalization. there have been a number of studies that show variable degrees of protection against initial infection. when it comes to serious consequences, the vaccines that we use are really quite effective in preventing advancement to severe disease. for that reason alone, as the president had alluded to a moment ago in the clip you played, people really need to reconsider those who don't want to get vaccinated. we have a situation in the united states, anderson, where we have more vaccine than we need. we have vaccines for everyone and anyone who needs it.

joining us, now, is dr. vivek murthy, a surgeon general of the united states. dr. murthy, thanks so much for joining us. so, that's certainly good news about the -- the uptick. um, do you have a sense of exactly why it's going up? i mean, are people just kind of heeding the -- the advice more? >> well, anderson, i think what's happening is people are seeing how dangerous the delta variant is. they are seeing family members and friends get sick. they are realizing that the vast majority of people who are in the hospital, and who are dying from covid are unvaccinated. and i hope they're recognizing that they can get protection, if they get vaccinated. i think there are other reasons, too. you know, there are many people in communities who have just tirelessly been working hard to get the message out, whether they are faith leaders or local doctors and nurses and i hope some of that message is starting to break through, more. but we need these numbers to keep going up because there's still millions of people in our country who are not protected from the virus and this

dr. fasil khan joins me now. dr. khan, thank you for joining me.at is your job as the county director of public health there in st. louis county? what do you do and how long have you done it? >> i've been the director for a total of five months. i have served in this position once previously for a period of four and a half years but i have spent the last ten years with the st. louis county department of public health. the last 25 years in public health across the world. >> what is the covid situation right now like in your county? >> it is going from bad to worse. as you mentioned, cases are on the rise. pediatric admissions attributable to covid are seeing a sharp increase in area hospitals. i know from talking to our colleagues across the hospital systems in the st. louis region that they are extremely worried as they see icu beds filling up and a direct threat to the like of the very patients they seek to serve continue to increase unabated. >> that was what drove you and i think the others in the department to recommend this mask order. what wa

dr. have the doctor joins me hive from little rock. dr. patterson, thank you for joining us. your tweet from yesterday paints a grim picture, a picture we saw in the early days of the pandemic. not something we would expect to see with three different effective vaccines available in the united states. one of your colleagues says it is heart wrenching to see unvaccinated individuals come into the hospital with regret. what is it like the hear regret when it is too late? >> you know, we talked to people who should know better, and they are now dealing with the worst health care crisis that they have ever been confronted with. there's a lot of misinformation that people unfortunately aren't paying attention to. we need to do a better job of talking to people in a language they understand. and we need to make sure that everybody understands that this is a race against time. the delta variant is way worse than the covid-19 strains that were circulating a year ago. >> helpness understand what that is like. i talked on a medical professional yesterday from missouri. he was saying, p

we are joined by dr. tom friedman, former head of the cdc. thank you so much for joining us. make any sense to you that vaccinated americans can go to england, but europeans cannot come here? >> we don't have a consistent policy. you're going to see situations like this, where there are different policies. i think it expresses that one of our greatest weaknesses inviting covid has been the politics. a challenge making sure we have some way to verify vaccination status. that has become such a political issue, that there is not a reliable way. similarly, just getting the vaccine has become a partisan issue. much higher vaccination rates in democratic leaning counties. i think that may change over time, but until we have a better recognition that we are facing the same virus, we are all human beings, we need to take a similar approach, to get the economy back without risking lives. we're going to see this contuity around the world. laura: you talk about the politics of all of this, that is front and center in the united states. do you think it was wise for the cdc to recommend a

for more on this, joining me right now is dr. fauci, chief medical adviser to president biden and director of the institute of allergy and infectious diseases. i want to get your answer to what the american pediatrics is recommending, universal masking regardless of vaccination status whax do you think of that? >> well i think that is along the same lines as what we've seen with the health authorities in los angeles which in the general population has said the same thing, that when you have a degree of viral dynamics in the community, and you have a substantial proportion of the population that is unvaccinated, that you really want to go the extra step, the extra mile to make sure that there is not a lot of transmission even breakthrough infections among vaccinated individuals. and for that reason, you can understand why the american academy of pediatrics might want to do that. she just want to be extra safe. i think it is important, the cdc recommendations, they be at variance with that, but in every respect, the cdc always leav

dr. frase joins us now. it's really astonishing people are disguising themselves to get the vaccine because they are afraid of blowback from people, from their friends. what more are they saying about why they want to get the vaccine in secret? and how are they being accommodated? >> um, really, a lot of them have had the few that i have been able to, personally, talk to, they have had some experience that sort of changed their mind and the viewpoint of those in their family, those in their friendship circles or their work circles and they came to their own decision, that they wanted to get a vaccine. they did their own research on it, and they talked to people and made the decisions, them. but even though they were able to make that decision, themselves, they didn't want to have to deal with the peer pressure or the outburst from other people about them, quote, giving in to everything. they made a decision, for themselves, and they wanted it just to be for themselves. and we work with people that come in th

dr. patel joins me in 60 seconds along with christina greene. >>> we are back with dr.demic is among the unvaccinated, what does it mean? why is it important? it is important as you mention almost 100% of deaths that we are seeing and they are increasing by the way are in people who unvaccinated and hospitalizations as well as new cases are primarily in the unvaccinated. if you think about this and remember this is truly exponentially spread so one unvaccinated person getting sick is more likely to infect anywhere from four to six other people with the delta strain much more easily than a year ago. >> christina, i want to bring you in, to many problems we are tracking that are difficult. we are not in that situation right now. we are in a situation where we know a lot more than we used to. we have some of the fixes and many of them are available and so that's why particularly an acute failure. sean hannity said something that's misleading but he's changing his issue. >> we have been saying please take covid seriously, i can't say it enough, enough people have died. we d

dr. fauci, thanks again so much for joining us.irst of all, what is your reaction to the president saying social media platforms like facebook are, quote, killing people with misinformation? do you agree with that? and what should be done about it? >> well, certainly disinformation and misinformation is really, really a problem. when we go out into the community and ask people why they don't want to get vaccinated, very often they come back with things that are really just not true. so, that's one of the things that the surgeon general, dr. vif ek murphy stressed the importance of countering misinformation with correct information. and that's really what we're trying to do, jim, to get out there with trusted messengers, to get people to understand the facts about vaccine. the numbers that you mentioned, jim, are striking. you can't run away from those. 99.5% of the deaths that occur from covid-19 are among unvaccinated individuals. that's a striking statistic. >> and yet people don't believe that, though. but dr. fauci -- >> well,

joining us is dr. oslin terechi. thanks for joining us. you think mrna can succeed here when we've seen so many try and fall short in malaria. >> thank you for having me mrna technology has experienced a baptism of fire with the covid-19 pandemic and the success of being able to develop a vaccine there. and this context we have learned a lot how to use this technology to address difficult pathogens with regard to inducing very important immune response. and we think that this potency of inducing a response can be also used against the malarian pathogen this together with the fact that it could show that the manufacturing can be upscaled easily and development is fast is very good path forward also for malaria. >> another part of your efforts here in malaria are to establish vaccine manufacturing production in africa. there has been so much focus on this in terms of vaccine access for covid-19 what is the pace of being able to establish this manufacturing footprint there and could it help with covid? >> yes, absolutely in principle, it's so
