pocan: how are we doing in vaccinations? then specifically a question about spike proteins, long-term consequences. i think there's a concern about potential health effects during cold and flu season and some of the people that i'm talking to, that was an issue on vaccinations. dr. fauci: we are doing extremely well with vaccinations as you know. we have more than 60 -- 60% of the adult population vaccinated. adverse events are remarkably low. when you look at this tens of hundreds of millions of vaccine doses given. however, whenever you get adverse events, even those very rare, we are interested in whether or not there is anything about the spike protein that would trigger something such as an autoimmune reaction that might give you a deleterious effect. we don't see anything we can directly relate to the spike protein, but we are certainly looking for that. there are immunologists who are looking to see if there is any connection there. to underscore, congressmen, these are really extraordinarily rare events. rep. pocan:

a similar resolution in the house was co-sponsored by democrats alexandria ocasio-cortez, mark pocan, and rashida tlaib. ocasio-cortez tweeted -- "the united states should not be rubber-stamping weapons sales to the israeli government as they deploy our resources to target international media outlets, schools, hospitals, humanitarian missions, and civilian sites for bombing." after headlines, we will spend the rest of the hour on the crisis in israel and the occupied palestinian territories. india reported another 3800 coronavirus that's on wednesday, a day after a record high. the nation's reporting more than a quarter million cases per day. in recent days, hundreds more corpses of covid-19 victims have been discovered floating in the ganges river, adding to evidence that prime minister narendra modi's government is concealing the true toll from its failed response to the crisis. india's official death toll now stands at over 287,000, though public health experts say the real number could be up to five times higher. here in new york, mayor bill deblasio joined a ribbon cutting ceremo

. >> congressman pocan. >> welcome, mr. secretary. sorry i missed our call last week. i am a 30-year member of iupit, painters and allied trades and cofounder of the labor caucus. we look forward to working with you on moving things forward. first i want to say i completely curry with the chair of the committee who has brought up the issue around osha and meat packing. whatever we can do to get that resolved. i am stunned that jbs was only fined $15,000 for its lack of covid safety protocols after six workers died at a colorado plant. the average funeral was more than they were fined and there is a $50 billion profitable company. clearly that's an issue for a lot of us. let me ask you a question about amazon. last year a lot of people were overcome by the pandemic. and people were trying to put -- struggling to put food on the tables, amazon reported an astronomical annual profit of $21.3 billion. yet despite their exploding profits, amazon has repeatedly flouted worker safety rules and showed little care of their workers and their well-being. most recently it was high
