that's facing bill maher says he tested positive, but feeling fine.ut of eight new york yankees also testing positive. this has a lot of people talking, me -- i suppose this was going to happen, right? >> these are, to be clear, some of the best vaccines we have ever made. johnsen and johnsen a little less effective. they do present -- the yankees players did not have symptoms. they are not, however, perfect. what you're seeing is a reduction in risk and basic line is determined. a lot of the counties are in yellow, where the risk is moderate. the counties in orange and red are a fair amount of transmissions. certainly if you're in a place even if you're vaccinated, it's much more likely to be asymptomatic and not a severe infection. the reason we know about them is bill maher and theinees are tested regularly. if everyone was tested regularly, what would that tell us? >> we certainly would see more breakthrough infections. if they don't have symptoms, they wouldn't be aware unless they got tested. the key thing is the risks of severe disease is drama

the 3 months since the military seize control of me and maher and opposition groups show no signs ofbacking down if anything they're gearing up for more violence announcing the formation of a people's defense force to protect themselves from military attacks now a coalition of more than $200.00 non-governmental organizations says the u.n. security council needs to step up to they want an arms embargo against the military they say it is the least the international community can do. will not be enough to end this by the. end. if general you know the fact that the un security council allow both men to commit genocide in 2017 against the ringing of population and didn't adopt a single resolution in response is a major contributing factor to the climate of impunity that led directly to this but so far china and russia have resisted calls for stronger action we are not in favor of imposing sanctions and we have to take 8 and the last the results in. conflict and the reason why we hold to such a position is because of the fact that 1st it will be always all dinner if you vote to suffer from

we've seen this kind of thing play out with one guy dough in venezuela with awesome she in me and maher is is this the same in some ways a similar narrative playing out here with what we're seeing with alexina volley. yeah absolutely and also their opposition leader and by the way i think that's one reason why nevada came back he knew the threat that was being he was being faced with that he was afraid he would end up in the political wilderness and perhaps being given brand by russian people or the regime as a foreign agent but yeah you know the sad thing right now you mention for example i'm sense who chewed that diplomatic tool box is very empty right now for the west there aren't beyond sanctions what else can they do so i think you know if i were a western policymaker i would be confused at the moment and what the next move is and you know when it comes to me or when it comes to the brutal regime and men maher and other places i think. rhetoric statements of concern don't work anymore you have to go through the hard core stuff and what i mean by that in russia is case is removing t

millions of us have it and you think it's green you take your mass company time then comes word bill maheres have symptoms of covid, how can you get covid, if it vaccinated is not 100%. >> is not 100% but it's very close, when we see the breakthrough .00 and 0 and some number of times there usually asymptomatic your meaning they have most symptoms and not associated with contagiousness, these are exceedingly rare and don't shatter my confidence in the vaccine, there were some of the most highly effective with overdeveloped, i don't think the breakthrough infections even though they're getting headlines when they happened to the yankees are bill maher change a confidence that i have in the vaccine these infections are not that important in the point is we should not test people, they have been fully vaccinated and have no symptoms they see those people should be tested because were picking up cases that are not clinically relevant. eric: that is interesting what you mean by clinically relevant can you explain that. >> when you see the cases, most are asymptomatic they have no symptoms and p

t bill maher says he feels fine.nated with the johnson & johnson vaccine. "outfront" now with dr. sanjay gupta. what do you make of these cases? >> this is not entirely surprising. we knew these so-called breakthrough cases meaning some one vaccinated still tested positive. it is possible. the vaccines in the original trial shown to protect against people getting sick, they also do a good job of bgetting peopl infected but they're not perfect. yankees and bill maher has mild symptoms and that's the key, that shows that the vaccine is wondering. the new science is showing that even if you have a break-through infection, your chance of being contagious and spreading it onto someone else is really low. that's relatively new science. remember they used to say wear a mask even in you are vaccinated. >> except for the yankees, there is a lot we don't know. those eight either there is some issues with injection, we don't know which it is. it is hard to make of it right n now, i guess. >> we don't know if they spread it to e

and bill maher has been vaccinated, and he's gotten covid. don't want to spread it to loved ones. if you're vaccinated, you're not at risk of giving it to someone else. >> i was just tweeting about the maher case, people are asking, why should i get the vaccine if people can still get vaccinated? these are called breakthrough cases. we know that, the cdc never lied about that. you can still get the virus. the key point is, your risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death, are significantly reduced once you get the vaccine. that's the key point to remember, joy. >> are we at the point where we'll have to live with, there will be a certain percentage of americans who will be prone to get covid, because they won't protect themselves, and they'll just be around until they get sick? >> i mean, look. short of mandating the vaccine, i don't see how -- i mean, yeah. look, there's going to be a certain percentage of people who will just not get the vaccine. i'm dealing with this with my own organization and my own colleagues. we do the advocacy

i want to pick up on a conversation you and i were having last night about a number of cases, bill maherone of them, a number of the yankees, all of whom have been fully vaccinated, testing positive for covid, in almost all cases fully asymptomatic except for one, tell me what you make of that. >> whether it is in trials or many of the groups that we've observed since then who have been vaccinated, we expect break-through infections. none of the vaccines out there are 100%. but what you're seeing is in almost all of the cases of break-through infections which are small, they're rare, you see mild or asymptomatic disease. so the question then becomes so what? in a world where the majority of the people are vaccinated it becomes safer even if the virus is circulating for two reasons. if there's some break-through infections, if you expose another person if they're vaccinated as well, they're safer. the other question you and i talked about is in these break-through infections, where people do end up getting the virus in their airway, the science remains unclear whether they can transmit th

also comedian bill maher contracted the virus after being fully vaccinated.he'll keep wearing her mask many places because of the breakthrough cases she is hearing about. she asks do we need booster shots now? doctor, how much concern for public breakthrough cases? they sure caught my eye. what do we know about the need for booster shots? >> to back up definitely the viewer can continue to wear her mask as she feels comfortable. second, these breakthrough cases originally have been defined as a positive test in a person who has been fully vaccinated. these cases when you look more closely at them the majority of the people, the yankees players, bill maher, have not had symptoms. they are asymptomatic. and remember, the vaccine may prevent moderate to severe disease, hospitalization, and death. so the vaccines are doing what they need to do. they also are, you know, it is also less likely that the asymptomatic individuals will pass on the virus to others. okay? and so none of the yankees had to be hospitalized. only one actually showed symptoms. and the cdc is

so maher on the way you describe it i mean we've seen the pictures many people are saying the pictures live on air why do you feel that the international community including the u.s. don't seem to have that willingness to go beyond words why isn't more being done why aren't. being put on israel what is the political climate behind that. well there's a very good question unfortunately the answer is. for me i know it's not very convincing but i think generally speaking global powers you know that she got 5 members of the u.n. security council they speak you know they talk a they talk the big talk but they don't really mean you know the united states since something this administration has said a lot about what in democracy and human rights at the center of foreign policy i'm afraid i'm going to have to interrupt interrupt because as i mentioned a little area we were expecting that security council who have been holding discussions on that situation in israel and palestine and let's have a listen in. i believe we can see palestine as u.n. ambassador by giving a press briefing you know how

why did mr maher i called on the international community to intervene immediately to stop these horrific violations and to provide protection to the citizens of the palestinian territories especially in the city of jerusalem which is undergoing ethnic cleansing to day jerusalem is restoring the glow of the coals needed just a quick word if you would before we talk to kimberly in washington but about what the palestinians are asking for form groups like the u.n. and the u.s. . the palestinians regular palestinian on the street wouldn't really expect much from the u.n. or the international community they've been told that any of them are doing any steps to help the palestinians they of course release condemnations or even security council resolutions that are not being implemented on the ground but when it comes to the palestinian diplomats the politicians they think it's very important now with the new u.s. administration to work in a way that could curb its radio violations and we know that before president by then we had 4 years of president trump in which palestinians say he was just g

the scientific community is beginning to splinter earlier this year bill maher had two biologists on the show that said this about the lab theory. >> the virus did start in the lab. it would almost be a conspiracy theory to think it didn't start in the lab. right? the virus attacks so many different tissues in the body does not seem natural. the fact that it does not at least at the if beginning did not steam to transmit outdoors nearly at all is very conspicuous afterall most animals live outdoors so a virus that seems to be adapted to indoor transmission is a bit conspicuous. joining me now is author of the piece and investigative science writer nicholas wade. so thank you for writing this article, i think every american should read what you've written. nicholas -- what i was struck by initially was fact that scientific community really coalesced around i would say almost propaganda shutting down any lab lack theory hypothesis labeling a conspiracy theory you're saying there may have been a motivation we don't know about behind that. tell us about that. >> well regular summary of t

>> they're me, bill maher and john mcquarter.nversation was this white fragility versus black fragility, but they started talking about how they think of themselves as crank key democrats. these are not people who are going to start turning around and voting for republicans, they may not even sit elections out, but they sit there and are scratching their heads saying why are we having a national conversation about issues that don't really apply or matter to a broad swath of americans, which we know is how you win elections, you put up popular policies that apply and appeal to a majority of people, and that's how joe biden won his election. griff: jessica, when it comes to the midterms, you have such narrow margins in the house, a one-seat margin in the senate. how big of an impact do you think the defund the police, this cancel culture stuff will actually play? >> i think it could have a very real impact. whip clyburn, the third most powerful democrat in the house, came out in november and said that defund the police cost us seat

>> bill maher has been right for months talking about how this was a threat to the democratic party or carville, the people you use to consider extreme left are now left of center but more mainstream than a lot of the party or at least the people in the party to get attention. the squad gets a lot of media attention by left and right media and by them being the loudest voices in the room, they get their policy positions amplified while moderates are muted. harvard harris did a poll in february, found that 2 thirds of voters say cancel culture is a threat to our freedom and democrats like to pay attention to polls a lot and if they see that they say maybe we shouldn't defund police when we see crime skyrocketing in all of those cities where police funds are being defunded or reallocated is a nice word to put it or should we expand the supreme court, 22 one are against that. if you look at the polls and look at the policy positions of what the squad supports probably not a good idea if you want to hold on to the house and senate and white house in the next 3 years. >> i argue it is not n

our friend bill maher tonight, testing positive. asymptomatic.just mentioned, fully vaccinated. are we gonna start leaning a lot more about this type of thing? >> i mean ultimately, brian, we don't know. i would caution to all the viewers, we just don't know enough data about the yankees and these eight cases of positive test after vaccination. were they actually fully vaccinated before they got exposed and infected? we know brian you can test positive for covid weeks on and after the initial infection. it's really great and use for that everybody was asymptomatic. it's indicative of the strength of the vaccine, the reason why we get it, to keep you out of the hospital. we know vaccines are not perfect in preventing asymptomatic cases. we don't make more news of this the necessary. we need more details to find out the details with the yankee so we can inform the public. >> as you know more than others, the governor of ohio is offering $1 million in kind of a vaccine sweepstakes in that state. >> true. >> you are on the board on twitter, there's b

bill maher, vaccinated, tested positive, canceled this week's show. the yankees, fully vaccinated, tested positive. all of them are asymptomatic. why is this important? >> it's very important. it shows the vaccine works. what's the purpose of the vaccine? the purpose of the vaccine is to prevent disease and death. we know those who do have breakthrough infections, they're usually asymptomatic, and if they have symptoms, they're mild symptoms. it should be encouraging to the public. >> it's not that they're not working. >> they do work. >> they are working. very, very quickly, the one sort of unknown, though, is if you do get infected even after fully being vaccinated, what do we know about passing the virus on? >> we have recent data in that shows those who potentially do get infected have a reduced rate of being able to transmit that infection. why is that true? that's true because they could have anywhere from a 2.8 to five-fold decrease in their viral load. again, the vaccines work. it's a game-changer. >> all good news across the board. dr. pernel

but these arguments from the likes of rogan, bill maher, and tucker carlson are worth analyzing becauseast draws millions of downloads, and has deal with spotify is reportedly worth $100 million-plus. yet -- >> i'm not a doctor, i'm a [ bleep ] moron. >> reporter: last month rogan basically said, "don't listen to me," after arguing that young, healthy people don't need the coronavirus vaccine. but millions do listen. he's been accused of spreading conspiracy theories, and spotify has pulled some old interviews due to controversies. but that's clearly part of his appeal. along with unpredictability. rogan has shown that he is not one to be pigeon holed into an idealogy. >> i think i'll probably vote for bernie. >> reporter: interviewing liberal figures along with those on the far right and pushing back on conservative figures who might seem like his allies. >> how much of that 18-year-old kid today deciding to pick up a gun and shoot somebody is based on him growing up in this [ bleep ] environment where that's what he modeled? >> the answer is there's only one way to break that chain. >
