kessler, let me also ask you, going back to what you said was job one. the latest numbers that i've seen say that there's still between 60 and 70 million americans who haven't gotten a single shot. and there is all this talk about the boosters and there's interesting talk about, you know, therapeutics and the antiviral pill from merck. but that job one of getting people to get their first vaccine shot, people to get on the train to getting fully vaccinated, are there things that we could be doing that we are not doing? are there things within the government's power or within our power as a country that could winnow that number down? are there things you wish we were doing that we haven't yet been able to do? >> so one set of very interesting numbers is that we went from 95 million people unvaccinated before the president's vaccine requirements in july to 66 million today. so we were at 95 million unvaccinated in july. those requirements were announced, and we're now down to 66 million. so vaccine requirements work. they are good for the economy. they're

doctor kessler it's >> thank you for having me. >> first, let me ask you about this advisory process and the consideration around these boosters. am i right to worry that the focus on the boosters, while important, that we need to worry about whether or not that might be distracting attention might be distracting focus from the sort of overwhelming wheat to get more people vaccinated, full stop. regardless of whether certain populations eventually get a third dose. >> i agree with you 100 percent. job number one is to get the unvaccinated vaccinated. no doubt that is the first and foremost item on the agenda. i do think this step that the advisory committee took today, to recommend a booster shot of moderna, at least six months for people who are 65 years of age, as you said, or at high risk, i think that's an important step. because assuming that an fda -- that means moderna and pfizer, into sync. we've administered 7 million pfizer doses so far, one out of three eligible seniors have received their boost. and data presented from israel, shown at the advisory committee today, showed

doctor kessler i should know as a pediatrician as well so we are particularly lucky to have him here is great to see you, thanks for being with us tonight. >> thanks for having me, rachel. >> so for parents of younger kids who are now confronting the reality that they are soon going to be able to get their kids vaccinated, is no longer so much of a hypothetical here comes. what should parents know about the strength of the data on how safe this is for kids? >> let me just start off by saying that pediatricians and parents have been looking forward to this day for a year and a half. the fda advisory committee is very good. it is a very hopeful day for parents because increase protection from this virus is on the horizon for their children. parents have been very concerned about the risks of covid. i also think that some parents have questions. let me answer your question directly, let me speak as a pediatrician. if the fda and fc ip recommend the vaccine, you should vaccinate your kids. the benefits of the vaccine clearly outrage the risks for school aged children. >> in terms of pare

kessler. looking at this from a broader perspective, to what extent do you think being able to vaccinate this new age group will help us as a country contain the epidemic as a whole? i know it's hard to talk about exactly what transmission is attributable to what groups and whether or not they have been able to get vaccinated. but will vaccinating younger kids help the whole country potentially put a lid on this at some time in the future. >> we believe it is a very important part of the answer. we're going to learn more of what the effect is on transmission. but i will tell you, with this step today, with getting people boosted, but most importantly we always have to say this. getting the unvaccinated vaccinated, right, between all three we have the tools to put this behind us. >> dr. david kessler, the chief science officer for the white house covid-19 response. former fda commissioner. as always, sir, it is an honor to have this time with you tonight. thank you for your clarity. >> thank yo

kessler has been vocal about it as well. >> [inaudible] ms. psaki: i don't have anything to preview on that front. there had been some questions, which is why i mentioned we don't have the legal ability to compel. that doesn't change regardless of who is having the conversation. we have been crystal clear about what we would like to see happen. >> the defense production act gives you certain tools. have you ruled out using it? ms. psaki: i am not here to announce, preview, or rule out anything. we would like to see them share their know-how to address this global pandemic. >> to what extent does it hurt you that you don't have treasury nominees in place to help you addressing these questions we are discussing, in terms of the economic impact of the measures? ms. psaki: you mean implementing measures when they are passed into law? >> [inaudible] there are key policymakers at treasury who would be advising secretary yellen who are not in place. does it hurt you in your efforts to move forward? ms. psaki: there is no question there are career emp

within two weeks the same leaders came back and said, we need kessler to be part of accenture and theyre today. i am grateful they took the call because i am sure it was a little intimidating to have accenture hire someone, but the lesson for that is to have humility. one of the things i think it's really important, when we look at industry around digitization, it is those that actually look outside. david: do you have any mistakes you made or failures you can talk about so people feel you are not just superhuman? julie: people ask that question as if the only challenge is at work. challenges come a lot of different packages. ♪ david: a lot of ceos are being asked to take statements on public policy issues, voter rights or something like that. what is your posture in the posture of accenture? should you take positions on these or you, as a ceo, should take positions or not? julie: it is about what the position is being asked about. we start with, do we have relevance and are we willing to walk the talk? take payee quality for example. we are one of the largest employers in a world and

david kessler, chief science advior to president biden and he's looked at the data for covid-19 and he'sata and says it looks very safe. and over 90% effective. it's only 2200 kids, keep that in mind, john. we looked over a million kids for polio before it got approved, but we're in the middle of a ferocious pandemic here. and i know the advisory committee is going to find that it's very effective in 1/3 of the dose that we're giving adults and find that it's safe. so i predict that they'll vote yes and the f.d.a. will vote yes across the board and we'll see it in pediatrician offices in early november. >> john: i was going to ask you about that. let me get you to back up a little tiny bit there. how does this vaccine for parents at home who are considering this differ from the adult or older children dose? >> well, only in dose. it's only 1/3 the dose which is good news for those who are worried about side effects of the vaccine. i'm not that worried about it. i'm not trying to downplay that. in other words, people are worried about myocarditis. that's maybe 5 in 100,000 teens got that
