science company correctly doctor if i'm wrong, we now have numerous studies about therapeutics, regeneron, iver bakhtin and hydroxychloroquine. am i following the science right, doctor? >> i can tell you that the current recommendations continue to remain and as we have learned over the course of the year and have natural unity will give some protection whether or not it's as strong as vaccinated immunity, there still debate there. those who recovered from covid-19 still have antibodies that have that a b and with her t cell response to doses of vaccine are the only way to take off your mask that is not following the science. they are not taking into account the negative consequences that come from the percent including children. >> let's talk about those supporting lara trump because we were told that they would allow people to the decision. i urge everyone to take this seriously and do your own research. consult your doctor or doctors. at your medical history, dr. hannity is not qualified. i wish i was but i'm not. now when they back door mandating vaccines, that really them supporting

hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin and regeneron. we passed on the information to inform people on how all americans can stay healthy. a small sample of how corrupt the media is taking comments out of context. i believe people have the right to make their own decision. consult your doctor but it's your decision. here's how we accurately covered the covid 19 virus and vaccines. the coronavirus is dangerous. those infected are contagious before they show symptoms. this pandemic is a serious crisis. think about other people ahead of yourself. that's why i wear a mask wherever i go. i don't support mandatory vaccinations. if doctors and scientists say it's safe my inclination is to take it after i read the studies and consult with my own doctors. i am not a doctor ski won't play one on tv and tell you what you should do. that would be your individual choice. follow the science and talk to your doctor. you don't need to talk to people on tv and radio that are not doctors. let me say this one more time for all the idiots in the media mob t

science correctly, doctor, if i'm wrong, but we have now had numerous studies about therapeutics, regeneron, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, that show that taken early it can mitigate symptoms of covid-19. am i following the science right, dr.? >> well, sean, i can tell you that the current recommendations continue to be very myopic and as you mention, yes, being fully vaccinated is one way to protect yourself and your family from covid-19, but as we have learned over the course of a year and a half, natural immunity as well gives some protection. whether or not it's as strong as vaccinated immunity, there is still a debate there but i can tell you that those who have recovered from covid-19 still have antibodies, have that b cell and t cell immune response and they are protected as well. they say those with two doses of the vaccine i the only way to take off your mask, that is not following the science and again, they are not taking into account the negative -- the consequences that have from these persistent public health restrictions that have played on people, including children. >> sea

provider about the antibody cocktails, the same thing that president trump got when he was sick, the regeneron product, those work really well before they get severely ill. and then try to get them back into the hospital if those things don't work. again we know that our treatments work better earlier in the disease. we don't want to wait until it is too late. >> you've noticed, we've noticed that you have do republican officials trying to encourage folks, because there is a political disparity here, right, in terms of where you see vaccine hesitancy, mitch mcconnell and jeff justice, is that kind of message making a difference where you are? >> i know, i don't know that i could answer that. i think anybody that is encouraging vaccines and encouraging all of the prevent of the spreed of the disease is going to help. we know that almost regardless of what varpt iant we're seeing wearing masks indoors or not vaccinated at all, getting vaccinated, these things are going to work very, very well regardless of which strain we're seeing. >> dr. sam ratterman, we appreciate the work that you're doing

regeneron is offering up its antibody cocktail to folks like this. a lot of doctors don't even know it's possible. there aren't a whole lot of options for this group. kimberly got vaccinated. it didn't work. she has no antibodies. >> desperate people going for a third shot because of so many people who won't get one. >> exactly. exactly. >> elizabeth, thank you. >> thanks. >>> so as millions of u.s. students start heading back to school, the debate over mavsks s under way and heating up. the guidelines vary by state and there are differing opinions by experts. vaccinated students do not need to wear a mask inside the classroom but american pediatrics recommends everyone over the age of 2 should still mask up. emma walker has more. >> reporter: over summer break, 6-year-old audrey guard rarely left the house without a mask. >> you have to wear a mask to school every day. >> reporter: audit roadway can't wait for august 4th, first day of first grade at peachtree elementary school. >> are you excited for school to start? >> yeah. >> reporter: her mother
