leana wen joins me now with more. dr. wen, this is very troubling. that's probably an understatement to some degree. how much of it, how much of the vaccine rates, how much is polio starting to reemerge, even in a minor way right now, is due to covid? we're told the disruption of the pandemic has caused the worst back slide in immunization rates in decades. >> right. first of all, the reemergence of polio in the u.s. is a public health emergency. this is a virus that used to lead to permanent disabilities, incurable disabilities for tens of thousands of children every year, that killed thousands of kids in the u.s. every year. when i went to medical school we learned about polio as a disease of history, as something that doesn't affect people in the u.s. acutely anymore. but now it's reemerging. and what you are saying is exactly right, even one case of paralytic polio is a public health emergency because one case illustrates that there may be hundreds of other cases that are out there, that are spreading without our knowledge. so it is believed that

earlier i spoke to wen—ti sung, a political scientist who teaches the taiwan studies programme at theonal university. i asked him what is the point of these military exercises now. i think it is more about political messaging more than true preparation for a next level up in terms of military activities. in a way i think china is trying to show defiance to both its domestic nationalist audience and also to counter messages from the visit of nancy pelosi to taiwan because nancy pelosi obviously visited in defiance of a serious chinese military threat and the fact that she did go shows the credibility of the chinese threat went down as a result. so right now china is also showing defiance as a way to regain credibility and it is also about countering nancy pelosi's claim that such a high level american officials visiting taiwan can make china feel like it puts wind under the sales of taiwan is claims to be a true sovereign state actor. in that sense china is trying to have live fire activity military activities in what taiwan calls its own teller or reward is an precisely show that of t
