physician and public health specialist, and also the associate professor of infectious diseases at emory university. it's great to have you both. dr. kelley, the cdc is saying with the new data, the war has changed. first, your reaction to what we're learning about the delta variant. >> well, i think that's exactly what's happened. the science has shown us new information. and things have changed. cdc is having to go back and say that masks probably are very important in indoor settings for all people, including vaccinated people. because of the data coming out of the barn stable outbreak that we just heard about and data from other countries, things aren't quite as safe to go back to life as we knew it back in 2019. we do still have to be careful. but the message is still that the vaccines are the very best tool that we have to prevent hospitalizations and death, and they still work really, really well. so i think for most people, just take precautions when you're in crowded settings. when you're in places where vaccinated and unvaccinated people may be mixing and put the mask on when you're in th

andy shane from emory university school of medicine. dr.u have the former surgeon general saying i was wrong, i revised my advice on masks, it is time for the cdc to do the same. number one, what are the chances you think that will happen? and number two, is it too late? >> i really hope the cdc will change their guidance as well. the bedrock of good public health is you're constantly reevaluating depending on the circumstances on the ground. the situation has changed dramatically since may. we're now seeing a rise in covid cases in all 50 states. we now also have the delta variant that we know is a lot more contagious. we don't yet know if you're fully vaccinated and you get the delta variant, are you able to transmit it to others. out of abundance of caution, the cdc needs to change their guidance immediately so that it takes into account protection for everyone. we have a pandemic among the unvaccinated. the problem is it's spilling over to those who are vaccinated. i wish the cdc would say in places where unvaccinated and vaccinated peo

. >>> let's speak with associate dean of emory university department of medicine, and chief administrative officer at springfield hospital in missouri. dr. del rio, there are things we know and things we're learning as we go along. before we get to the question of boosters, we know vaccinations are keeping people from dying. 99.2% of the deaths in june were among unvaccinated people. can you just help amplify that message to people who are watching now and may still have questions about the vaccine? >> thank you, jim. i couldn't agree with dr. fauci more. i couldn't agree with you more. we have to get people vaccinated. the cases we're seeing, hospitalizations we're seeing, deaths we're seeing from covid-19 are preventable. if people got vaccinated we would not be seeing that. i finished recently a extent in the hospital in consul service as a clinician and every single person we saw with covid was somebody who was not vaccinated. those were preventable hospitalizations, preventable disease and preventable deaths. my advice to people is please go ahead and get vaccinated. >> yeah. >> dr. f

colleen kraft is associate chief medical officer at emory university hospital. if we can begin with the risk to children here, i want to put some context around this, and maybe you can help. there are a lot of parents watching. poppy and i are parents. we are still talking about a very low percentage, by our math less than .07% of all covid deaths, 400 out of 600,000 nationally are children. if you're a parent of one of those kids, it doesn't matter what the numbers are. one death is too much. in terms of risks as parents are making judgments on how and how much to protect their children, how much of a risk is this? >> so i think, you know, elizabeth's segment just now is really clear. so we think this is the most transmissible. we think this is probably the most serious virus that you can get in your lifetime. so i think we know how to protect against transmission. it's just sort of whether or not we can balance our fatigue and sort of make it through this current wave of this current surge. i think we all thought we would be in a different place by the month o

. >> with me, the executive associate dean of emory university school of medicine at grady. good to see you, in studio, doesn't mean we won't see you by computer again. >> nice to be here. >> great to have you. wonderful, thank you so much. what are your concerns about some places such as l.a. county has imposed mask mandates, encouraging of people to wear masks when indoors again. then you go to some places and it is just use your best judgment. >> public health is local, public health decisions are made locally by local, state health departments. cdc makes suggestions, recommendations, doesn't make policy. policy is made at local level. i think local health dempartmens are making recommendations based on local data, how much transmission there is, and variety of different things. i think we'll start seeing periods of masking or no masking as cases go up or down. i was telling somebody couple weeks ago i was comfortable not wearing a mask indoor, today i'm not. you have to think about it like the weather. when i get up in the morning, i look at the weather, i need to take a

. >>> with us now associate professor of medicine at emory university. dr. have you back on. dr. fauci says nothing has really changed, this after yesterday's meeting between identifieser and federa pfizer and federal health officials. do you think pfizer is ahead of the game given how much we know about the necessity of a booster shot? we may reach that point, right? >> good morning, jim. i think you and elizabeth summarized it well. the take-home message is at this time, there is no compelling scientific data to suggest that fully vaccinated people need a booster right now. that but that could change in the future, but that decision should be guided by science. i can imagine a scenario where we have to give boosters across the board, older adults or those with medical conditions. that should be guided by science. i look forward to reviewing the pfizer data when it is published in a peer reviewed medical journal. but until then, part of the reason i'm interested in the data, full disclosure, my wife volunteered for one of the boosters. she had it in april.

carlos del rio, executive associate dean at the emory university school of medicine in atlanta. so good to see you. happy fourth weekend. >> happy fourth, fred. >> so, dr. del rio, this hour president biden lands in michigan where he is taking part in a nationwide america's back together tour to tout the country's progress against the virus. the first lady is in maine today. the vice president is in las vegas. what do you want to hear from the president and his support team today? >> well, i think we need to get the message that the pandemic is not over. many people including the president wanted the fourth of july to be the day we celebrate independence from the virus. we are not independent from the virus yet. we don't make that decision. the virus does. unfortunately, we are not where we wanted to be in immunizations. the president had a goal of having 70% of the nation having received at least one shot by july 4th. that's not going to happen. and with the surge in the delta variant i'm concerned that in regions of the country that don't have high immunization rates we will s

colleen craft, the associate chief medical officer at emory university hospital in atlanta. dr.raft, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what's your reaction to what this cdc document lays out? >> i think it's highly concerning. you know, we just got to the point where we thought we could sort of go without masks, that vaccine was potentially a reward for being able to not mask, and i think it shows us that we need to continue to just focus on stopping transmission at all. so, if we can stop transmission, then that's better for everybody. it's better for the virus to stop mutating. >> but how do we do that unless something suddenly changes and a huge swath of america decides to get vaccinated? because isn't part of the reason this delta variant became so pervasive because more than half the country is unvaccinated? >> yes. if we can figure that out, poppy, i think we would make a lot of strides in the communication for public health. i don't know what it's going to take and i feel like i said this to you a year ago, probably a year and a half ago. i don't know what it takes
