i do appreciate that stephen a. smith made those comments. ng that. the one thing i will say, i did read in some reports that he got two doses and didn't get his booster. and the reason that's important is because there was a lot of confusion about what fully vaccinated means. it's not stephen a. smith's fault, but we have too much messaging that two doses counts for full immunization and it's not holding up well for the omicron variant, not just symptomatically but in terms of hospitals. if cnn can confirm that, he did not get his booster, you might even say this might be another wake-up call to get your booster as well because that could keep you out of the hospital. >> yeah. information at my fingertips right now. good to see you. >> thank you. >>> coming up for us, the fbi is warning faith communities about the potential for more violence after the hostage standoff at a texas synagogue. you'll want to hear how the rabbi talks of their escape, saying training is what saved their lives. investing strategiesax-st designed to help you keep mor

i think the lesson from stephen a. smithhat even though he had received two doses of a vaccine that's not 100% effective at preventing all serious illness, it's highly effective but not 100%. the lesson i would say is even if you've been vaccinated, fully vaccinated you still should wear a tight fitting mask when you're indoors with people, you know, lots of people and you don't know many of them. in terms of just sort of saying, well, what the hell, we are all going to get this infection so just sit back and get it, bad idea. i mean, omicron, it is truly less virulent in that you are less likely to go to the hospital, less likely to go to the icu, less likely to go to the morgue but it's not a virulent meaning it still can cause hospitalization and suffering and death, you never want to get a natural infection. when dr. fauci said this may be the live viral vaccine we are all hoping for, the one i would hope for is one that is essentially mimics the common cold where that's all you get is an upper respiratory tract infectio
