what people will need to wait a little bit longer than the white house plan to get the coronavirus booster shots today, an influential food and drug administration advisory panel endorsed boosters for two categories of people. one category includes people who are 65 older. the other includes people who are at high risk for severe disease. ktvu is jesse gary explains. the decision followed an impassioned debate. friday a virtual meeting of an fda advisory committee gave a green light for covid booster shots for the most vulnerable americans, but the majority of healthy adults are still protected by their initial inoculation. we're looking to try to improve on protection that is waning overtime for much of the day, the 18 voting members and others. listen to the pros and cons of a third covid-19 vaccination six months after the last dose was administered, president joe biden says he'd like to begin booster shots as soon as the third week of september. the exact trade off between safety and efficacy. we don't really have a lot of data to make that decision on yet, as far as boosters go. conce

but, alex, the priority right now inside the white house really is addressing the coronavirus. there is such a clear inverse relationship, that when coronavirus cases go up, when we have these surges, the economy and economic activity go down. you have parents who don't want to return to the workforce, who don't want to send their kids back into school buildings. you have people who don't want to take those low-paying service jobs because they're potentially dangerous to their health. so the white house next week, like the president said, will be putting out additional information about how they plan to address this. news just in that on tuesday the president will be traveling to new york, to queens and to new jersey, to tour that storm-damaged region, alex. >> yeah, i live in new york. it was pretty epic, i must say. thank you so much for that. as we turn to capitol hill and as heidi mentioned, senator joe manchin urging fellow democrats to pause their consideration of a massive $3.5 trillion spending package. the west virginia democrat explaining why he won't support the bill

white house correspondent kaitlan collins. of everything i've laid out, which is president biden's top priority? >> reporter: i think coronavirus is probably top of mind for the white house right now. we know president biden is going to give a major speech on that this week. also, alisyn, as you noted he has several things on his plate when he comes back to washington tonight following this holiday weekend. and tomorrow you will see the president go to new york and new jersey. both the states he has declared states of emergency and disaster declarations under way there right now in an effort to help with what we've been seeing on the ground. and a lot of this he is going to tie to what he did in louisiana touring the damage there which is, of course, climate change. and his domestic agenda, something that we know will be at the forefront when lawmakers are back here in washington. but, alisyn, it's not just that. he is still dealing with afghanistan, even though the u.s. military is long gone from there. there are still about 100 americans who are in afghanistan, that they are working to get out. according to his chief of staff

coronavirus response. his name is dr. steven hatfield. he's a virologist. in 2020 he started working with the white house trade representative, peter navarro, as an advisor on the pandemic response. which is why, as the congressional investigation was continuing their course of looking into the u.s. government response in the first year of covid, dr. steven hat field's name started popping up all over the place, even though he had not been publicly declared to be involved in the response. you could see in this guy's correspondence that the committee has dug up so far that his involvement with the white house tracks with some of those otherwise inexplicable bizarre decisions made by the trump administration around covid. for example, i'll show you this one. this is an e-mail to steven hatfield by peter navarro. quote, i've been working on tracking down some israeli data saying this coronavirus thing may have now run its eight-week course, and this bottlenecking may be underway now. this is may 2020, dr. steven hatfield telling his white house supervisor, this whole thing is almost over. it looks like we'r
