BREAK DOWN ALL OF THE STUFF
REGARDING THIS HIS FAMILY
PHYSICIAN DOCTOR JEN CODDLE A
DOCTOR CONNELL ALWAYS GOOD TO
SEE YOU I LET'S
PFIZER VACCINE ABOUT 95%
EFFECTIVE PER A SERIOUS ILLNESS
IS HERE. THE MODERNA NUMBERS
ABOUT THE
SAME HERE. SO IN YOUR MIND
STILL HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO
GET MORE PEOPLE VACCINATED
ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WITH LOW
RATES LIKE WE'RE SEEING IN THIS
SOUTH AND IN LIKE MISSOURI AND
ARKANSAS HERE.
>> GETTING VACCINATED IS KEY.
IT IS THE ONE THING THAT WE
SHOULD ALL BE DOING AT THIS
POINT IS GETTING
PFIZER MODERNA JOHNSON JOHNSON
GETTING VACCINE IS KEY NOT
BECAUSE OUR VACCINATION RATES
ARE NOT AS HIGH AS THEY SHOULD
BE, BUT ALSO WE KNOW WE HAVE
THE DELTA VARIANT WHICH IS MORE
HIGHLY TRANSMISSIBLE THAN OTHER
STRAINS THAT WE'VE SEEN IN
THE PAST. YOU KNOW GETTING
VACCINATED IS SO IMPORTANT IT
WILL ALSO HELP PROTECT
AGAINST DELTA. BUT YES PEOPLE
WE HAVE TO
GET VACCINATED.
>> WE ARE ALSO SEEING CASES
GOING BACK UP AGAIN YESTERDAY
WE HAD ABOUT 19,000 NEW CASES
THAT IS A 60% INCREASE
OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS TO ABOUT
223 PEOPLE DIED OF COVID HOW
CONCERNED ARE YOU ABOUT THIS
DELTA VARIANT GIVEN THE FACT
THAT NOW WE'RE SEEING CASES GO
BACK UP JUST AS A LOT OF US
WERE STARTING TO GET BACK TO
OUR NORMAL LIVES AGAIN.
>> WELL I THINK YOU SAID AND
YOU PUT IT VERY WELL I MEAN
CASES REALLY ARE GOING UP WE
KNOW THAT THE 7 DAY MOVING
AVERAGE OF DAILY NEW CASES
HAS INCREASED PRIOR TO THAT THE
70'S BEFORE THAT WE ALSO KNOW
HOSPITALIZATIONS DUE TO COVID
ARE INCREASING ALSO THE
POSITIVITY HAS INCREASED
AS WELL. WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT
COVID IS
THAT DEATHS BEHIND CASES THE
CONCERN IS THAT THIS WILL
TRANSLATE INTO DEATHS AS TIME
GOES ON, AND YES AS YOU
MENTIONED THE DELTA VIRUS IS
SPREADING RAPIDLY, WE KNOW THAT
OVER 51%
CASES OF COVID ARE DUE TO DELTA
VARIANT AND SOME
I BROUGHT A PERCENTAGE OF COVID
CASE TO THE
DELTA VARIANT. THIS MAKES A
FERTILE AND RIGHT BREEDING
GROUND, ESPECIALLY IN THOSE
STATES WITH LOW VACCINATION
WHERE DELTA VARIANT OF COVID
GENERAL CAN LITERALLY JUST
SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE. THAT IS
WHAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT AND
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE STARTING TO
SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THE
BEGINNING OF IN CERTAIN PLACES,
YEAH AND
ON TOP.
>> OF ALL OF THAT DOCTOR
CONNELL I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE
BEEN SEEING THIS AS WELL I
THINK SCENE REPORTS OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE ALREADY VACCINATE FULLY
VACCINATED STILL CATCHING COVID
BECAUSE OF THE DELTA VARIANT
ALBEIT THESE ARE SMALLER
NUMBERS THAN THOSE WHO ARE
UNVACCINATED BUT HOW CONCERNED
ARE YOU OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
COMPLETELY VACCINATED STILL
CATCHING COVID BECAUSE OF THIS
DELTA VARIANT AND WHAT SORT OF
THINGS SHOULD BE DO JUST TO
PROTECT OURSELVES.
>> SURE WELL THERE'S A COUPLE
POINTS THERE NUMBER ONE DELTA
VARIANT IS SOMETHING TO BE
CONCERNED
ABOUT BECAUSE YOU KNOW AS I
MENTIONED WE KNOW IT'S MORE
HIGHLY TRANSMISSIBLE IT
ACTUALLY MAY BE MORE VIRULENT
MORE DANGEROUS AS WELL.
WE DO KNOW IT'S THE VARIANT
THAT SEEN IN SO MANY DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES THAT THE WORLD I
WOULD SAY THE OTHER ISSUE
THOUGH IS WE DO
KNOW THAT IN VACCINES AS GOOD
AS THESE VACCINES ARE AND THEY
ARE EXCELLENT. THEY ARE NOT A
100%. SO YOU KNOW WHAT DELTA
VARIANT OR NOT WE DO EXPECT A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF BREAKTHROUGH
CASES PEOPLE EITHER WHO DIDN'T
MOUNT A GREAT IMMUNE
RESPONSE TO. TO THE VACCINE,
ETCETERA AND JUST ARE COMING
DOWN WITH CASES OF OF
DELTA VARIANT. EITHER WAY OR
OTHER SITUATIONS IF THIS IS
JUST A REMINDER THAT WE'RE NOT
OUT OF THIS THAT IT'S NOT EARLY
OVER AND EVEN UNDERSCORES THE
FURTHER IMPORT GETTING
VACCINATED YOU'RE ONE OF THE
THINGS WE KNOW THAT'S HAPPENING
IS THAT DELTA VARIANT IF YOU
ARE NOT VACCINATED BY THE WAY
COVID DEATHS IN THIS COUNTRY
ARE HAPPENING 99% OVER THOSE AT
LEAST WAS BEING QUOTE IS
HAPPENING IN PEOPLE WHO ARE
UNVACCINATED BEING UNVACCINATED
IN THIS COUNTRY AT THIS POINT
RIGHT NOW HOW IS A SENTENCE OR
A
RECIPE FOR DANGER, IT'S A RISK
THAT I DON'T THINK ANYONE
SHOULD BE CERTAINLY WOULD
RECOMMEND. SO YOU KNOW ALL OF
THIS STUFF AS AS WE TALK ABOUT
AS YOU BRING UP
OUR CONCERNS EVER CHANGING EVEN
SOME OF THE WAYS THAT LOCALES
ARE DOING SO SO THAT'S
DEFINITELY
A CERTAINTY.
>> I I STILL HAVE YOU I WANT TO
TALK ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF A
BOOSTER SHOT HERE BECAUSE
PFIZER IS SAYING THAT THEY PLAN
TO MEET WITH TOP US HEALTH
OFFICIALS TODAY THAT TO DISCUSS
THE REQUEST POTENTIALLY OF A
MAYBE WAS POTENTIALLY OF A
BOOSTER SHOT HERE.
DOCTOR FAUCI EVEN SAYING OVER
THE WEEKEND THAT MAYBE IT'S
LIKELY BOOSTER SHOTS MIGHT BE
NEEDED DOWN THE ROAD.
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON ALL OF THIS
AND DO ENVISION A SCENARIO
WHERE WE ARE GOING TO BE
GETTING THESE BOOSTER SHOTS.
>> YOU KNOW IT WOULDN'T
SURPRISE ME IF WE HAVE TO GET
BOOSTER SHOTS IN TRUTH BE TOLD
YOU KNOW WE ACTUALLY BEEN
TALKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY
OF POTENTIAL BOOSTER SHOTS
ALMOST SINCE THE BEGINNING OF
THE PANDEMIC WHEN WE VERY FIRST
STARTED TALKING ABOUT THE
POTENTIAL
FOR VACCINES. WELL OVER A YEAR
AGO THAT'S NOT A NEW CONCEPT TO
PHYSICIANS CLINICIANS
SCIENTISTS OR EVEN THE PUBLIC.
I THINK THE ISSUE WITH THE
PFIZER SORT OF STATE
THAT CAME OUT WAS THIS IDEA
THAT PFIZER WAS
THAT WE NEED A BOOSTER SHOT THE
DETERMINATION FOR WHETHER WE
NEED A BOOSTER SHOT OR NOT
NEEDS TO COME THE CDC, A C IP
FDA'S CENTER AT NUMBER ONE
IN CONJUNCTION WITH
PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES BUT
ALSO SHOULD BE BASED ON THE
DATA AND PFIZER AT THIS POINT
HAS NOT RELEASED DATA THAT SORT
OF SUPPORTING WHAT THEY ARE
SAYING NOT THAT IT DOESN'T
EXIST. BUT THE POINT BEING IS
IT'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PUTTING
THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE.
WE WE WE VERY LIKELY WILL NEED
A BOOSTER, BUT THE QUESTION IS
