let's talk first about the anti-vaxxers. they show how it's easy to fool algorithms.loopholes? >> it's not a surprise. we saw in researching this book that this is part of a pattern. facebook is not proactive. it's rather reactive. one thing they have really struggled with is misinformation. and one really key thing we should note is that superspreaders of misinformation -- there's a group called the disinformation dozen, 12 people who spread 65% of all misinformation related to the vaccines on social media. all of them still exist in one form or another on facebook. facebook has a hard time with actually completely shutting down these accounts and individuals and content. they try things to get people to actually go to authoritative sources for the vaccine, but when it comes to misinformation, they continue to struggle not only with the sheer enormous volume of misinformation, but as you noted, how those who are spreading this information are using tricks and getting through -- tricks to get around the filters and the machine learning that's supposed to catch misinfo

science, we've seen it in the strange nexus between anti-vaxxers in qanon amplified in the stop thei-vaxx rants. maybe it gets in the way of nature's plan to kill the weakest among us. sometimes it takes the form of state policies like tennessee, trying to stop vaccine promotion among teens, not just for covid, but for other infections like hpv. but it turns out that a lot of these anti-vaccine themes are as old as vaccines themselves. so buckle up for a brief history of anti-vax conspiracy theories. let's start in the 1790s when small pox was combatted by an early vaccine. attacked by opponents, quote, a foreign assault on traditional order. sound familiar? check out this contemporary cartoon showing people turning into cows because the vaccine's use of cow pox as a way to inoculate against small pox. fast forward to 1885 during a deadly outbreak in montreal. they circulated this pamphlet decrying the tierney of doctor craft, the raveings of a mad press were pressuring parents into committing a crime against your innocent and helpless children by getting them vaccinated. check out

as anti-vaxxers and then it becomes this really unhelpful cycle.hink a lot of what we're seeing too about don't shove it down my throat is public perception that everybody that doesn't want the vaccine is a crazy anti-vaxxer, and that's just not helpful. >> that's a great point. i also wonder what -- if you think there are implications for policy, mathew, from your pup opinion data. i mean we know that i think the biden administration has been treading very carefully on this. the biden administration has issued a directive that federal agencies cannot mandate it for in-person work return. that's a step they took, and i think, you know, a lot of private employers, this is interesting today, one of the sort of partnership for new york city business groups in new york said, new york city employers would be relieved if the federal government issued some kind of vaccine mandate. so you have the private sector waiting on the government, the government not wanting to mandate it. are there implications for policy from your research? >> absolutely. in fact,

the anti—vaxxers are pretty powerful as well among the former yellow jacket movement. hot, hot fall this yearin might have a hot, hot fall this year in france. then again, those are not micron voters. yeah, it is going to be an interesting yearfor yeah, it is going to be an interesting year for france in the run—up to the elections in the run—up to the elections in the year ahead. if a fourth wave hits france hard, what impact will it have on the economy?— impact will it have on the economy? impact will it have on the econom ? ~' economy? so, if we think, we would probably _ economy? so, if we think, we would probably see _ economy? so, if we think, we would probably see more - would probably see more lockdowns of the places that were typically shut down, so you would have tourism venues, entertainment venues et cetera, these, if this fourth wave is going to be just like the third of a second, they do not weigh much, at the end of the day, in the entire economy. manufacturing, their services are generally moving strongly for france, and even despite the potential fourt

if the anti-vaxxers, if their parents and grandparents had been anti-polio vax or tb, the interesting thing about them is they would have never been born. just something for those thoughtful people to think about. >> let's listen to dr. walensky from the cdc on the delta variant. >> the delta variant is spreading with incredible efficiency, and now represents more than 83% of the virus circulating in the united states compared to the virus we had circulating initially in the united states at the start of the pandemic, the delta variant is more aggressive and much more transmissible than previously circulating strains. it is one of the most infectious respiratory viruses we know of and that i have seen in my 20-year career >> all right, you know, jim, what do you do with that coupled with the fact that dr. jha with shep talking about how he doesn't think people clearly understand how bad it's going to get. the market has this incredible ability, jim, to just look past it >> i think there is a sense among the people that are vaccinated that they feel safe we see people in new york going

i'm going to use a modern term the anti-vaxxers tried to get the local magistrates to stop these plans. the magistrates didn't want to step in so these anti-vaxxers they basically fired up a mob that marched to dr. campbell's home broke windows said his house on fire. they did the same to the home of dr. dahliyesh. they also forced campbell's family to march off to the pest house the kind of quarantine hospital that was set up to deal with smallpox outbreaks and tensions erupted the following year as well. so we had two riots in norfolk involving the same group of people in 1968 and 69 and charges were filed by both the pro and anti inoculation side cases were tied up in courts for years interestingly when he was a young lawyer thomas jefferson represented the probe. vaccination party in this well these riots also led virginia's general assembly the house of burgesses to pass a law in 1770 that prohibited inoculation unless you got a special permit from the local magistrate and that effectively stopped. the inoculation process in virginia in 1777, the general assembly revised that law

later in the show we'll talk to somebody by the way who was formally an anti-vaxxer and i want to hear what changed her mind and what arguments could work with someone like that thank you for your time. i want to bring in cara swisher. "new york times" opinion writer and host of the pod cast. president biden is slamming these platforms for covid misinformation. i wonder, we talked with the last guest here, is being named and shamed going to make any difference whatsoever to these companies? >> well, i don't know. it depends. it's not a good position to be in to be called killers by the president or you're responsible for people dying. he's clumping them in with makers of opiates or things like that. there is a lot of tension between these companies and the biden administration pushing hard and need good information from facebook and others about this. it's an on going struggle because these companies, you know, one thing after another happened whether helping donald trump insight violence after the -- for january 6th, which they waited and waited and waited to cut him off or anything e

the problem are the anti -vaxxers. the other 33% would not be vaccinated.will be waiting for other hesitance to come vaccinated. the other thing, talking about children, people at risk in africa, i understand that when you have a huge investment in time and money, what they are afraid of is to set a precedent. that is what they are afraid of. a think by setting this president, they open up the door and more cases like that will be coming. didn't want to share their technology for one reason, they are afraid competitors. if they think we don't have know-how, what is the problem? they could just waive the protection and that the countries do it. i think they want to keep the recipe, afraid they are creating more competitors, not setting up a president for this approach. host: isn't the argument that the biotech companies make that this can set up a precedent,? -- a red herring? this is a unique, one off, charlie. >> if you care to look at the agreement, this is the exceptional scenario for the one-off case. this is not rewriting the agreement. some of us incl

los angeles has had -- in california writ large, have had anti-vaxxers not from the conservative side of the political spectrum but from the liberal side, the jenny mccarthys of the world. is that part of the problem of what's going on here? l.a. in california? >> yeah, definitely, jake. what we're seeing anecdotally from the front lines is that there is a very, very small group of anti-vaxxers that have taken up much of the sphere of conversation. but the reality is that if we can talk to our patients, which is what we've done through the this is our shot campaign, myself, and other doctors, we've come together to mobilize doctors. we're noticing that nine out of ten of our patients, they want to do the right thing for themselves and their families. although there is a lot of attention on the anti-vax side of things, most patients want reassurance. they want data, and they want to do what's right to protect themselves. and so we're really trying to have as many of those conversations and giving people the tools, knowledge, and skills to disarm the misinformation, because that has --

but it won't do much, i don't think, kasie, for the very serious anti-vaxxers who believe the conspiracytion of not being vaccinated and being in an area where the delta variant is exploding is putting your life at risk and the lives really of the people around you. so, it's a really big challenge that we've got to get ahold of. i don't know what we'll do about the hardcore anti-vaxxers at the moment. >> it's scary there's hospitals in missouri, as miguel reported is running out of ventilators. doctor, let's switch gears because you recently wrote an op-ed on the hill talking about the infrastructure problems are also a persistent threat to public health. of course, you cite the building cop lapse in surfside. >> yes. >> and i think those of us covering the infrastructure completely see the connection. how do you look at this? >> well, that's right. you know, i think what happened, take this horrible tragedy in surfside, by the way, we're now 14 days out and the chance of finding survivors is extremely limited. but what we've seen there is a terrible impact on people of all political str

this is concerning because there's already a great schism among people who are vaxxers and anti-vaxxersand now you're telling them that they can spread it regardless. it's very concerning because what do you do? do you go back on lockdown? do you mitigate with masking and closing down infrastructure, or do you move forward and anticipate this concept of herd immunity? so it's concerning on all aspects. >> if vaccinations were at least in part about breaking the chain of infection, if infections are continuing, is the notion of herd immunity becoming out of reach because of this variant? >> so a couple of concepts. one is herd immunity is still something that is something we can achieve. so for all the people that have been vaccinated, they are vaccinated, and then those who are getting the illness, the new delta variant that chose not to get vaccinated, they're essentially getting forced into a vaccine. this is natural immunity from the disease itself. they didn't want the vaccine, but they're going to get the illness, and hopefully they don't die from it or have any of these long-haul

you have not just anti-vaxxers. you have a governor who is -- has a huge part in this disaster that is currently in the making in missouri. someone who today tried to tell missourians he was going to stop the federal government from going door to door. nobody's talking about the federal government going door to door. they're talking about community activists and volunteers going out in their own neighborhoods and trying to encourage people to get the vaccine. the other element here that we've got to remember is the lady on fox news says you should talk to your doctor. a huge number in rural missouri don't have a doctor. you can't qualify for medicaid if you're a grown adult without children, no matter how poor you are. there is a large pockets of people who do not have any health insurance and only go to the emergency room. if they are really sick. so there's not a doctor to talk to, but many of them talk to mayor minister, chris. the evangelicals have a big part of this especially in southwest missouri, where we ha

i don't need to mention who the leader of the anti-vaxxers has been. are places where it should be required. look in new york city. you either get it, or you must get tested. there are businesses saying -- google's saying if you don't get -- if you don't get vaccinated, you're out. i agree with those approaches. i think that makes sense. should you do it from the federal government, down? i'm not certain about that. but there are appropriate places where we ought to tell people, if you want to be involved in this, if you want to work here, you are going to get a vaccine or you're going to get tested. and if you don't do either of 'em, you're out. and at some point, it's going to move away from the testing into a mandated vaccine. it's serious. i agree with don lemon. i just want to take -- i do. what's funny about that? >> because you just answered the question i've been asking. because it went a long way around of answering. that's all i was asking you. what you just said there, that part, you just answered the question. before, you didn't really answ

that statistic alone should make it clear an anti-vaxxer should be vaccinated.failing. it is a function of the fact we have so many people unvaccinated that the delta variant is all over the united states. every time this virus gets to infect someone and make copies, it is another chance for it to get fitter and smarter and mutate and, thus, we have the delta variant. these breakthrough infections aren't a sign of the vaccines failing. they're a sign of a smarter virus that realizes half our country is susceptible to it. so when we put on a mask, when i put on a mask, when you put on a mask, it is not because i doubt the vaccine. it is because i know that i can now spread it to someone who is unvaccinated, yasmin, and they have a 1 in 30 chance of dying depending on how old they are. that's why i put on my mask. of course, i don't want a breakthrough infection, but even in that kind of landmark cdc article that was released yesterday, over 800 infections, 74% of which were in vaccinated people, which is what led the cdc to recommend masking in high risk area. ev

carol, talk a bit about why former president trump played along with anti-vaxxers, knowing full well he was vaccinated early and he was really sick from this. what's behd his relationship and the way he talks about the vaccine and the virus? carol: everying that happened with donald trump when he was president was about getting re-elected and feeding his base, not leading his base, but making them appeased. and he believed he looked week if he suggested the virus was serious and you would need a vaccine but he has waffled back and forth on this. he's like, on one hand, he wants to take credit for having given us the vaccine, that he pushed for it so ardently and he did. and on the other, the other day, he see-sawed again and said i understand why people distrust the vaccine. he's playing to that base he knows is his source of political power but it's a hangover and it's from his presidency that imperils american lives, just as many of his decisions during the presidency did. yamiche: and imperilling american lives is a great way to put it. there's an analysis in the "new york times"

of people resistant to getting vaccines -- there are sort of two camps, the people who are anti- vaxxers and resistant to all vaccines, and the people who do not trust this process. the vaccines were developed in record time, there are conspiracy theories, and a big part of it is the politicization of scientists and particularly dr. fauci. he has gotten so tied into the anti-vax stuff and the people resistant to the coronavirus vaccine specifically. yamiche: talk about the delta variant and the challenges associated with that. yasmeen: the cdc director held a briefing yesterday where she said that delta variant is hyper-transmissible. it is clear the white house is extremely worried. the vaccines do seem to protect against the variant. but the bigger concern is, as we have seen, the more the virus is able to spread, the more dangerous the variants become. they are not necessarily more deadly, but they do become more transmissible. even if vaccinated people are protected, the concern is that if it is allowed to spread, what variant is going to emerge? the more this virus can become more e

my brother-in-law who is a strong anti-vaxxer, strong anti maxer, strong fox supporter, strong trumpporter who thought he was vulnerable is spending his eighth day in the hospital with covid and it pretty serious and we don't know w when he's getting out. this is prime example. we're seeing with governors you talked about and people who had been proactive about it at the very least are now discovering that this isn't inescapable. i think the cdc director said with this new variant, if you're not vaccinated, it's not a matter of if but when you're gel -- get it. >> the mayor of alabama kay ivy is saying the same. she's fed up. >> what is it going to take to get people shots in their arms? >> i don't know. you tell me. folks supposed to have common sense. but it's time for them to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks. it's the unvaccinated folks that are letting us down. >> as the leader of the state, don't you think it's your responsibility to help get cont? >> i've done all i know how to do. i can encourage you to do something but can't make you take care of yo

it was upsetting to find out this information that my friend had become an anti-vaxxer but what was evennd my unvaccinated children were just feet away. we had been invited to an outdoor party and i was pulled into this conversation because i was told of what i do for a living. they wanted me to be a part of conversation only to learn this random fact as likely my kids shared food and random drinks as kids likely pick up from it. not only are folks not choosing to get this vaccine, but they are not telling others so we can make the choice whether or not we want to be around you. in provincetown massachusetts a cluster outbreak happening because of unvaccinated people who traveled there with the delta variant. you are putting our lives and the lives of the people who simply cannot get vaccinated at risk. my 2 1/2-year-old, my 4 1/2-year-old. your immunocompromised mother or father. read the facts, trust the science. if you still choose not to, wear a mask and give other people the choice to at least know the danger you may be putting them in. because it's not personal. it's public. we'll

you have a bunch of prominent republicans like senator ron johnson of wisconsin who are both anti-vaxxersmate change deniers. it's basic denial of basic science? >> they could win back the house in this next election cycle, because that's kind of typical of the cycles, once the presidential election is over the party out of power tends to pick up seats, but overall long-term, this is not a winning strategy. it's just not. people understand that the vast majority of the american people, better than 50%, and even among republicans know climate change is occurring and we need to do something about it, and the floods, droughts, wildfires, the extraordinary storms we have had, people understand. this is what we are doing to mother nature, and we are so exacerbating a natural trend. the climate has been changing since the earth was formed but what we are doing now to nature means nature can no longer absorb the changes and we're paying the price, and it's only going to get worse, and, frankly, i think you can look at coronavirus and say this is one of the things that happens when you change the

mainstream person spending your life in the mainstream media and you have been vilified as an anti-vaxxera villain. how do you understand and respond to what the cdc told us today about that subject? >> we have so much to discuss, tucker, but the elephant in the room, twitter where i have several hundred thousand followers has banned me againav from posting so i cannot post for at least the next week. it is very clear that i'm goings to get dumped by the platform, that i'm going to lose my voice they are because i'm not going to stop posting the truth. the thing they have banned me for tonight, tucker, is that yesterday night i posted about pfizer's own clinical trialy results for the vaccine for the covid vaccine showing that more people had died in the placebo arm, over all, not from covid, van in the vaccine arm and basically this meant that the vaccine does not appear at least in this trial based on these results to reduce all causes of mortality. apparently, you are not allowed to say that. you are not allowed to quote pfizer's own clinical trial results because it is misinformation.

amongst us, the hesitancy holding people back or just blanket anti-factors -- and i've asked -- anti-vaxxersholding us back, it is different. tom: there's a group that is never going to be vaccinated, and another group that really needs to be sold on it because they are just tentative about science and the fears of these very powerful things. jonathan: we will try and stay on top of it. we will stay on top of the market action, too. on the s&p, we advance eight points. we are drenching zero -- we are advancing 0.2%. 1.24% on tens after having a look at 1.12% yesterday. taylor riggs, what do you make of that turnaround as the session progressed? taylor: i've heard over and over again how this is technical, not talking about shorts being squeezed. that you want to lock in your liabilities now, you go to the bond market, you get out of the equity market. the further lift higher has some people questioning where we are on that reflationary trade. jonathan: such a good point. your 10 year, 1.24%. i'm jonathan ferro, together with taylor riggs. romaine next on bloomberg.

not anti-vaxxers, it just wasn't a priority. then, they got sick. >> how sick did you two get?mber i was working and i just -- it felt like a bomb dropped on me. i just wasn't feeling good at all and i thought, oh no -- >> you're still recovering. >> i'm still recovering. >> this is a month later. >> it has totally devastated me. >> reporter: so sick she thought she would never see her daughter ashley again. >> i remember looking out the ambulance and i could see our daughter ashley driving behind us. and i just thought i knew that once they took me there, i wouldn't see her. i wouldn't see my family. and you just have no control. >> reporter: this is louie and patty holding hands in the icu. he thinks he picked up the virus in las vegas, then without knowing it, gave it to his wife of 30 years. >> when we got to that point where she needed to go first, i thought i was going to be tough and hold on and stay home, but it wasn't the case. i immediately went downhill. >> reporter: coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths, again, on the rise in missouri. the state's health de

i don't have any tolerance for the anti-vaxxer movement.liticians who befriend, who cozy up to or become allies of that movement. i see that as another xamplt of white supremacy. in particular they target communities of color enthe atrocity that is the communities have experienced to play on the vulnerabilities. you have people who have questions. you have people unfortunately who have become susceptible to the conspiracy theories. we continue to walk in compassion. we continue to walk in love and be very direct. wherever misinformation and disinformation exists we who know the science and have been vaccinated we have to speak up and be willing to speak up continually and speak up emphatically because like you said lives are on the line. those who are still dying, those who are still being hospitalized, those who are still getting sick are overwhelmingly the unvaccinated. >> wow. congresswoman marjorie taylor greene is stoking these conspiracy theories. there's quite a large cluster in georgia. there you have it. please come back. you are s

this political battle that has been only drawing more intense primarily between republicans and anti-vaxxers who have been saying, hey, you cannot keep pushing this vaccine on young people when actually the law in the state of tennessee says that they can. they can reach out to those 14 to 17 because those young people under tennessee law have the right to determine if they want to get the vaccine so their own. they don't need parental permission. republicans talked about trying to defund the state health department and that is how angry they are. meanwhile the medical personnel are seeing more and more young people show up in their icu and the other problem they are trying to fight against, it is misinformation. social media. take a listen. >> msz inforisinformation is a part of what we deal with and part of health care right now, people are sometimes more willing to listen to facebook than they are to their health care providers. so what i encourage people to do, please do ask questions. we want you to ask your questions about the vaccine, we want you to ask what is the data for the safety

who has the trust of the community, increasing access to people who are maybe hesitant but not anti-vaxxersme read some of what you're reporting today. until about a year ago, this was a much more bipartisan issue, vaccine skepticism. reservations about vaccinations from west coast liberals to more anti-government conservatives. what has transpired since then is the anti-vax movement blowing up more on the right than on the left despite trump claiming credit for the vaccine during his administration. the news in tennessee suggests this is indeed seeping well into actual government action. given the fervor on some portions of the right, you can bet some red states will soon emulate it now that tennessee has broken the seal. this is a line that has been crossed that i think you smartly point out here. this isn't just tucker carlson scream call the police if you see a kid in the mask, this is the state firing that state's vaccine outreach coordinator. >> yeah, and this has really been a long time coming, i think more than people even appreciate. what i -- about last month in ohio, we had that
