until we can get levels down everywhere, that means getting everyone vaccinated and as dr tedros saida combination of the vaccination in the public health measures. then we can be more optimistic, but we're still far away from that. and the concept that the coronavirus is somewhere, it is everywhere. your priority in that case of the international community is to do what? priority is to get as many people vaccinated as possible while keeping it under control with the continuation of public health measures which we can do now and everywhere, of course. when it comes to the countries that, the uk included, they're doing well there and getting people vaccinated, what should they be doing with their doses and vaccines? should they be giving them to covax and should they be giving to those communities who perhaps do not have as much? with the new variants that are circulating, we have an r number of about over three anyway. that means the proportion of the population that have to be immunised to suppress transmission need to be very high. perhaps 85%. in western countries at the minute, we

tedros ghebreyesus urged rich countries to reconsider plans to vaccinate children and instead donateountries. i understand why some countries want to vaccinate their children and adolescents but right now, i urge them to reconsider and instead donate vaccines to covax. because in low and lower middle income countries, vaccine supply has not been enough to even immunise health and care workers. for more on this, here's professor martin mckee from the london school of hygiene & tropical medicine. i think if you look at what's been happening in india, you see why he is saying it and now, of course, we are seeing the same thing happening in nepal and neighbouring countries in asia. there's still a lot of potential for spread in africa that we have not seen yet. but clearly, there's a real risk there. as long as this virus continues to circulate, it will continue to mutate, and that is the real worry. until we can get levels down everywhere, that means getting everyone vaccinated and, as dr tedros said, such as the vaccination, it's a combination of the vaccination and the public health m

siegel: harris, this person is worried about tedros, international problems and how politically makesrything, how he wheels and deals, and person believes that he is an international criminal, and there is evidence of that in other countries. this is not me saying it, it is my source saying it. by the way, here's an example. a final example. the head of statistics for the world health organization was pushed out of power by tedros rep for the pandemic and replaced with a dentist. we might have actually had correct statistics on covid-19 if he hadn't been forced out of power and then died tragically. i'm not saying he was killed, by the way, that he died tragically under tremendous stress after being pushed out of power. >> harris: thank you for all that information, as well. fox news alert now, they started breaking last hour. we can bring you more updates as they happen. we are expecting another one to come shortly after a mass shooting in san jose, california, in just the last hour or so. right now we know that the suspected shooter is dead. that was confirmed with the first news co

tedros of the world health organization that this is a monumental ment in the fight against covid-19. it is not everything, obviously, and in fact my colleague at georgetown university calls it one piece of the covid-19 vaccine access puzzle. and i think he is right. the immediate need, of course, is to get shots in arms. this ip waiver is not going to do that overnight. rich nations have hoarded vaccine doses, in fact they are sitting on 1.5 billion unused doses, excess doses that they don't need. the most immediate requirement is that richard nations donate them to low income countries now, ideally through the covax pool. that is actually, in my opinion, the most urgent thing they can do. however, that is not something that is necessarily long-term and sustainable, that is a charity model and eventually they will begin to shift from a charity model to a sustainable model where low and middle-income countries are making vaccines themselves, and that is why this intellectual property waiver is so important, because it will unleash companies in low and middle income countries to be abl
