this is a phenomenon known as immuno mentation. the vaccine of course, pokes your body to recognise one specific barrow protein. and you thought that if you've got kobe to whatever you would only respond to that particular protein. but in fact that the, getting the virus and the vaccine interact to augment a much broader range of immune responses. so that to phenomena say nodes immuno mentation. and how it works isn't fully understood, operate to say, but it does work. so and mixing and matching does seem to be valuable. less come to your work, profess montgomery, as a, an intensive care, a physician on the walls. you're on money of treatments as no being greatly of meant it. we 1st had the satellite treatments last year, then those the antibody treatment seth was the beginning of this year. and now we hear that those going to be that what looks like successful anti vidal treatments, that would, so that kind of free ranges of, of treatments in your army. if somebody is unfortunate enough to end up an intensive care. yes. so, and we

property, would it be partial in immuno-escape.all of this is a consequence of not vaccinating the world and that's number one what we have to do on a global scale, here in the u.s., you have to make sure you're up to date on the your covid vaccines and if you've not gotten that third immunization get it, and if you're infect and recovered, you need to get vaccinated because that will make you more resilient against any kind of variant. >> we will see what comes out of the w.h.o. meeting today, doctor, and as dr. anthony fauci mentioned at the end of the clip we played, there is a call between south african officials and u.s. officials. what are the questions you have right now, what you are hope we're able to determine today, given that all of these groups are coming together and looking at exactly what we do know at this point? >> well, what i want to know is how confident the south africans are that there is a rise in cases and there has been a sharp increase, is it truly due to this new variant or whether there are any factors

please know we have thoroughly reviewed all of the available safety, immuno and other data before recommending this vaccine. it was found to be nearly 91 perspective -- percent effective in preventing infection in children ages five to 11. in clinical trials, side effects were mild and similar to those seen in adults. the safety of our children is important to me, and i believe these vaccines will help us better protect our children from covid-19. throughout this pandemic, we have learned a tremendous amount about what covid-19 affects our children. with nearly 2 million cases at the start of this pandemic. these cases have ranged from mild to severe, with some cases resulting in hospitalizations, deaths, multisystem inflammatory syndrome, and other long-term conditions. the spread of delta resulted in the third of covid cases in children throughout the summer. during a six-week period in late june from mid august covid that -- hospitalizations among children increased. the risk of severe covid remains too high and devastating, and vaccinations, along with other important prevention measures c

we measure efficacy, safety, immuno you thisty, effectiveness, does it prevent infection, does the vaccine prevent infectiousness, dut it prevent death, so we have all these, a myriad of outcomes that we think about vaccines, yet it gets distilled into this general concept of whether or not the vaccine works. there's a lot of nuance lost there. should we be concerned about that loss of nuance? and if so, why? >> so it's been interesting to see this, the way this has played out. i was fortunate to be part of the team that created the strain that was a 26-year effort. i got to watch that vaccine go from bench to bedside, and i'm only all too grateful the people who were communicating that vaccine are not the people communicating about this vaccine. i think there have been at least three major communication errors with this vaccine. in terms of what you're getting at. i think the first is the use of the term breakthrough. if you're giving a vaccine and you have a mild, mildly symptomatic infection or an asymptomatic infection, you want, that's the goal. the goal of this vaccine is to protect

that might be those who are immuno compromised or have underlying conditions. also, the vaccines were never 100% effective against patching covid. they are incredibly effective against preventing severe illness, hospitalization, or death. that has not changed. it is important for the cdc to update these numbers so we get a sense of what the demographics look like. this data has not been updated since august 28. back then, 99% of covid as -- deaths were those unvaccinated and 95% to 97% of hospitalizations were unvaccinated. so, we want more data. we want to see demographics. >> more data would certainly help. even without that now, the cdc will probably be by tomorrow it's -- approving the expansion of eligibility. doctors have different opinions on who really needs a booster. our colleague dr. monica gandhi does not think we are seeing -- what we are seeing supports healthy adults needing to get a booster. what is your personal view? >> my personal view tends to side with dr. gandhi. because, i would like to see the data, for example. before make an informed d

what likely happened is that this virus hung out in the body of an immuno compromised individual which it had the opportunity to sit and collect these fingerprints, so to speak. the reason we think this may be more transmissible and possibly escape some, if not all of our vaccines is that it has picked up those similar to delta and beta. it is not likely vaccines are going to be rendered entirely useless but they may be less effective than they may have been even against delta. so long as you have people vulnerable to the exposure because they've not had the vaccine at all whether choosing like here in the united states or don't have access like in south africa, it is increasing the likelihood for variants to spread. >> this travel band won't keep it from hitting the u.s. shores but could buy some time for some of these companies to be able to tweak their vaccines and make them more effective against this. are there companies already doing so, do you know? >> all of the major companies are already testing omicron against vaxiccines. we'll learn more about all of the major in the u.s.,

the call the company was positive on their long acting antibody, which has a one year benefit in immunoised people in terms of preventing covid infections you may not respond to the vaccine. it does look like that could still be a product that could be a significant contributor in helping response to the pandemic, although taking a step back, one thing that is good for everybody is the company says they will not profit from the vaccine until we work through the pandemic. that says something good. alix: fairpoint. guy: family, looking rather sector at the moment, there is action elsewhere, there is johnson & johnson news. a lot of the other businesses in the space are looking to refocus and figure out a smoother operating structure. does that mean that astrazeneca has more competition in terms of where we want to be allocating money within the space? it has been a real turnaround story. completely revolutionize this business. others are starting to make similar moves doing different things and trying to make their businesses more attractive. does that make astrazeneca less attractive? em

we should be getting on the ball to make these available to immuno compromised patients. >> to say whene boosters to say you should ore may get it. >> it shows the challenge making the decision in a pandemic this shows the difference of these tools being used as tools to control and end the pandemic. if you are in the camp that these vaccines could be effective in controlling the end, you are in the camp of boosting younger people. the younger people, people in 20s and 30s fully vaccinated probably have more residual protection and they were at lower risk to begin with depends where you break down and see that debate play out they've kind of incrementally towed into this. >> we are telling people now we've missed the boat. if you are in the camp that says, look, we want to give this to younger people, you should also be in the camp that those those people who are younger wo should take protections. either you think you should get boosted or you think don't worry about it at all. i don't get it >> these are the challenges. we need to make the changes at a population level we didn't see t

it is the elderly, folks in nursing homes, folks who are immuno suppressed, people who are really high risk for hospitalization and death. we are still seeing the vaccines protect the rest of us from those severe outcomes, but especially with this variant, it's important for all of us to go out and get that booster shot. >> but i want to ask you about that, doctor, the rest of us who don't fit into the category of most vulnerable, it's been more than six months, shouldn't all of us get that booster, because isn't it waning for all of us? >> yes, i'm telling everyone who's six months plus at this point to go out and get the booster. where it will make the difference is in the older age groups, and one thing i continually worry about is the equity of our distribution of vaccines in this country. we need to double down on making sure that those who are at highest risk have access to the boosters. not just those who are the worried, well, and already have the ability to stay home to work from home. >> doctor, thank you. >> thanks, doctor. >>> let's get to the politics of all of this. maeve

vaccinated might take different types of risks than a family with him young kids or a family with elderly, immuno optimized family members. very different to last year, because we had protective vaccines, families will be able to say we will gather with loved ones indoors and have a normal thanksgiving or new year's again. i think that is a reasonable decision to be making. family members with more vulnerable family members or who also have a lower risk colorants may say we still want together outdoors, especially if there are number of unvaccinated little kids around. or, if we are going to be endorsed, we want everyone to be reducing the risk or a three to five day period beforehand, and then taking a test before the get together. that may sound like an abundance of caution, but that is what my family is doing and we get to the other with families over thanksgiving and are going to be indoors, we are asking everybody to reduce their overall risk for the three to five day period before or to take a rapid test the morning of. every family will have their own tolerance for managing their own risk

those who are severely immuno—compromised will be offered a fourth dose of a vaccine.s not yet clear how effective existing vaccines will be against the new variant, but scientists think they'll still protect against severe disease. and from tomorrow, face coverings in england will be compulsory in shops and on public transport, while travellers returning to the uk must take a pcr test. in a downing street press conference, england's deputy chief medical officer, professorjonathan van—tam, said there were many things that we don't know yet about 0micron but that it was the number of mutations on the variant which made it worrying. it's always been the case that at some point — we've always said it — we are going to get a variant that gives us heightened concern. we are at that moment with 0micron. it is the new kid on the block for now, and i think it's true to say that scientists around the world, notjust in the uk, unfortunately agree that this one is of increased concern. 0n the effects of the new variant and how well vaccine effectiveness will hold up, here, i want

started to refer to hispanic and latino voters as - latin x voters because it was the most includes immuno- gender specific nontender the way to refer to latino voters because it was a way of escaping thes gender of these languages. the new hispanic voters who actually think of themselves as latin x, you get like one - 2 percent of people saying that they are latin x so you doing outreach to minority communities using the term of that the minority communities themselves do not recognize that is a very strange way with mask politics and reflexes sort of the way that elite progressivism has basically undercut we should be a lot of the democratic party's natural advantages with minority voters. >> yes good afternoon, mr. ross tdouthat, i would like to know what are some of the or who are some of the religious thinkers moving to your viewpoint such as perhaps maybe even malcolm - and i also as i understand, you and your family experienced conversions into the pentecostal and into catholicism and a wonder if you could elaborate on your consciousness to some of the intellectual experiences that

the risk during the prespecified follow upp-up perid that is an antibody cocktail >> people who are immunor cancer patients are using this to get them through. that's a really big deal >> prophylactically. trump. you get the symptoms it is a pain to have to go to the hospital if you have just marginal symptoms. you go in and have to be infused. that's why the oral pill is such a breakthrough regeneron, what is that stock? 630? we'll figure out the market cap. what is that regn let's get to dom >> about $69 million company >> it is wrong on my machine here >> just the general positivity around this news might be one of the factors you are seeing the markets push towards those record highs whether the fundamentals of covid are there as well. we'll take you to some of the movers the narratives indicate some of that positivity coming out we'll start with tesla elon musk's tweet asking whether he should sell 10% of the tesla shares and people are responding yes. how much stock will be for sale and how about that happen? down about 5.5% pre-market 1,152 there pre-market analysts say it is a pric

you need to test it in small number of people who is immuno-genetics.pared to do that for a month because the platform is approved. i don't think that's going to be a major delay. the fda has shown that when push comes to shove, it can go rapidly. what is it about the world responding to covid making it impossible to get this pandemic under control? >> what we have seen over and over again that the most troublesome variance including the alpha and delta variants arrived out of unvaccinated population. alpha arose out of an unvaccinated option out of england and delta rose out of india and now omicron is at a population in africa towards the end of this year and into 2022. mother nature is telling us what she has in store for us. if we don't vaccinate the southern him hem sphere -- sout america and southeast asia are profoundly under vaccinated. there is no limit to the amount you can scale. we can go up and make 9 billion doses, we don't have the commitment from the g-7 leaders. >> ed luz, we spoke earlier of the goof ball like ronnie jackson who were s

not slow evevolution this is going to keep going until we deal with treating everybody, including immuno-compromisedtion it won't be omicron or the next letter in the greek alphabet >> that's what i said, we could be immune izing and vaccinating people immunopeople don't have the response we need to ramp up therapeutics. how quickly can you or lily or somebody else customize a monoclonal anti-body to a variant? how quickly can we get that rolling? >> so we have been having it rolling for a couple years now which we designed the cocktail to anticipate the changes you should remind viewers, we should all remind the viewers, the monoclonal anti-bodies out there now authorized for the virus circulating in the u.s. works just fine. so we shouldn't abandon that we have to anticipate the next one. omicron is a difficult one to anticipate we've actually thought of a lot of even most of the variations that could occur with omicron. we have another anti-body that looks promising, that's already started clinical testing we have probably the largest collection of anti-bodies in the world. we think we will be in

i have bounced back and forth on whether to get the vaccine, especially considering i am immuno compromisedi have been fighting cancer. i got cancer almost at the same time covid landed. host: clearly covid is more of a threat to you than the flu would be. what other precautions do you take because you are a cancer victim? caller: i honor any -- i have been in almost 100% lockdown for two years. cancer forced me into early retirement. i do not go many places. i go to my chemo sessions every two weeks. my doctor visits. diagnostic procedures to monitor cancer. and i go to the grocery store. i did go to a small thanksgiving gathering with friends on thanksgiving. even last year in the middle of covid, after i thought i had be the cancer, i took a small road trip and went and saw friends and family. i wear masks and distances that require it -- businesses that require it because i believe the business has a right to run their business. i see people going around in cars or walking outside in the fresh air and sunshine wearing masks and i have to laugh. one thing i would like to make a comment o

we will also offer the booster to all people who are severely immuno compromised, who have completedity in clinics, using drive—through models, working with primary care colleagues wherever we can and with other public service staff, who are trained vaccinators, to ensure that we can protect as many people as possible. as the minister said, there is a lot that we do not yet know about this variant but increasing the protection that vaccination gives us both individually and collectively as we face the prospect of a new and serious variant and a possible further spread of the disease will help. it is not too late to be vaccinated. i would urge everyone to come forward for the vaccine that has not yet had one or two doses. it does not matter if you have already had covid—19 infection is the vaccine will give you longer lasting protection against the virus and especially as it looks like there is a higher risk of reinfection with the new omicron variant. minister, i will now head back to you. speaks welsh. we believe that a briefing from the welsh government and bring in our corresponde
