for more now we want to bring in dr william schaffner professor of preventive medicine infectious diseases at vanderbilt university medical center in the state of tennessee doctors good to see you again let's start with news coming in the good news today the centers for disease control saying that fully vaccinated people can basically throw away their masks i mean this speaks to the success of the vaccination drives in the united states would you say well i think it's very exciting brand because people will welcome this it then vaccinated and they ask very frequently what they do now that i couldn't before i was vaccinated and now the c.d.c. is telling them basically they can go on the best unless you're one of those people who are immunocompromised then you should be continue to be careful and the numbers show is that about a 3rd of the population in the u.s. is fully vaccinated that means the u.s. is not close to reaching herd immunity is it. i'm afraid it's not bred and it varies across the country in mississippi as you've just heard and in my state of tennessee we're at the low end of

william schaffner again. consequences that people are wondering, too. there's the question, can companies mandate this and the question of health. doctor, what if 10% of the office does not want to get a vaccine? how much of a risk would that be for others who have been vaccinated? >> well, we have to recognize, pamela, that when we go back to work, there will be, undoubtedly, some people in the environment who are not vaccinated. that's really pretty likely, given the level of vaccination in the country today. we can make the environment at work as low risk as possible, but i don't think we can ever say it's going to be completely safe. so, the risk, we want to keep low. i think we could probably ask our employers if we're mixing vaccinated and unvaccinated folks, are there opportunities to keep people apart, if some people still wish to wear masks, may they do that? i'm with mr. brayley, i don't think employers, at this stage, with this still pretty new vaccine which is somewhat controversial, ought to obli

william schaffner. great to see you as always. it has been over a year since the first coronavirus case in the united states. while we're starting to celebrate the return to normalcy, the way we lived before the pandemic, we don't definitively know where covid came from. explain why it is so important to know the origin. >> pamela, it is important to find out scientifically where it came from. we'd like to know that because we would like to prevent future pandemics. and from historical perspective, just knowing is important. and you know, there is a lingering thought, did it come from a laboratory, did it come from nature. and if it came from the laboratory, was this nefarious, were people trying to create bio warfare virus which would have been silly, of course. nobody uses covid for a bio warfare weapon because it will not only spread to the opposition but among your own people. that's not a good idea. could it have been a laboratory accident? we'd like to know. or did it come from nature, which is my personal inclination. but i
