Youre live in the cnn newsroom. Im jim acosta in washington. Good evening. Right now President Biden is on his way to new york where hes slated to meet with World Leaders at the United Nations General Assembly, including ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The stakes could not be higher for the ukrainian leader as his country faces an Uphill Battle in its counteroffensive against russian forces. Hes expected to seek more support from the u. S. And its allies. But as the president prepares for another moment on The World Stage, hes facing Major Political headaches back here in washington. House republicans are moving forward with an Impeachment Inquiry against him. When asked about it at the white house earlier this afternoon, he laughed and told reporters his response to mccarthy is, quote, lots of luck. And thats just one fight up on capitol hill. A Government Shutdown is also looming as the deadline to get a Spending Bill passed in congress inches closer. Lets discuss that and more with republican congressman tim burchett of tennessee. Congressman, thanks so much for being with us. Let me ask you this. As you any, one of your republican colleagues in the house, ken buck, is making some headlines for condemning the republican impeachment effort against President Biden. He says the gop is relying on what he calls an imagined history. What do you think . Do you agree . Kens a former prosecutor. Hes an honorable guy and a dear friend. As a matter of fact, we were sitting side by side On January 6th when all that went down. So i would i listen to what he says. He doesnt speak often, but when he does, he does it with a great deal of class and intellect. So i take everything he says seriously, jim, honestly. I wouldnt brush it off because he makes some valid points. Hes stated how does that tie when he was Vice President , all this Criminal Activity, how does that, you know, forward into being president . And theres a gap there. So i think thats what you know, honestly, i think thats what part of the inquiry im not an attorney, but i think thats what the inquiry will do, will allow for more of that activity. There isnt any evidence of any Criminal Activity during that time when he was Vice President thats been put forward. I mean just to jump in there and ask you specifically, do you think its a good idea to launch this Impeachment Inquiry, or do you have some reservations about it . Oh, i dont have any reservations about it. Its an inquiry. Its not an impeachment. And if you think were going to get the votes to do it, 60 votes in the senate, even if we get it in the house, the impeachment, i think its a pipe dream. But i believe the basis is not requesting. Theyre demanding it. As ive stated so its being done for political reasons . No, no. I think its being done because people are you know, we live in a democracy. To say anything in washington is political, you know, the soft drink you drink in the committee room, its political. We have chickfila for lunch, its political. Everything we do down there is political. Its a political town. Were political officers. So in ta sense, it is, but wer just doing our duty. Its what were asked to do. Youre old enough to remember, just as i am, when House Republicans impeached president clinton back in the late 90s. That wasnt exactly good for the Republican Party back then. It came at a cost for the gop and helped bill clintons approval numbers. Might this backfire on House Republicans and help President Biden . It might, and thats why ive encouraged us to move ahead with the budget situation. Were 32 trillion in debt. The conservative proposals out there are spending you know, all estimates show were going to take in around 5 trillion, and were going to spend around 7 trillion. Where is that conservative in any shape, form, or fashion . I think we need to walk and chew gum at the same time. I think Jody Arrington is a very capable chairman of the Budget Committee. I wish i was still on the Budget Committee because, you know, in 30 years or so, we havent passed a budget in congress, and i would like to see his Committee Move forward with a budget that would, in fact, balance our budget in a reasonable amount of time. And i think they can do that. I think thats one of the concerns, and its a valid concern, is that we just stay focused on one issue. But i think if were allowed to play this out, i think that the other committees will go ahead with their job and move ahead with that because thats whats going to sink this country. You know, the conservatives, on one hand theyre saying we need to kick joe biden out of office. I say, do you want Kamala Harris as your president. Theyre all, no, no. I said thats whats going to happen. So you better have you a plan. Thats why ive stated we need to move ahead with some budget talks because down deep, that is why the republicans have a majority. We know were out of control spending, and weve got to get control of it. But to do that, do you think theres going to be a Government Shutdown . Possibly. Possibly. I saw the do you support that . Well, if we dont have if were not reducing the amount of money were spending, i would support it. Theyre saying it could cost us 3 billion to shut down, but lets put that in perspective. Weve sent basically 114 billion unchecked to ukraine. I think the conservatives and frankly some of the moderates are concerned about the border situation, the fentanyl. Youve seen the numbers. Its ridiculous. Theres no other reason to do that other than to say weve made a mistake at the border. That mistake is multipresident ial, and it continues on into the Biden Administration exponentially. I think theres a lot of things tied into that. Congressman, let me ask you about former President Trump. Im sure you saw earlier today he was on Meet The Press. He was speaking out on his attempts to overturn his loss in the 2020 election, and he says pushing his unsubstantiated claims of Election Fraud that the election was rigged, which of course is not true, was his idea. Lets listen to that. You called some of your outside lawyers you said they had crazy theories. Why were you listening to them . Were you listening to them because they were telling you what you wanted to hear . You know who i listened to . Myself. I saw what happened much i thought the election was over at 10 00 in the evening. Were you calling the shots, mr. President , ultimately . As to whether or not i believed it was rigged, sure. Okay. It was my decision. Congressman, youhe seems to admitting it was his decision to try to overturn the 2020 election. Is that a good idea to go on Meet The Press and acknowledge that sort of thing when hes under investigation by the Special Counsel . Id need to go back and watch. I dont watch Meet The Press, so i wouldnt know exactly what he said, i wouldnt know if that was a cutup clip or not. But i suspect what hes saying is he does not believe that he lost that election, and in his heart, he doesnt believe he lost that election, and a lot of folks do, and a lot of the base do. All i can tell you is isnt that a little silly for him to continue to say that . Well, our Secretary Of State runs a clean election in tennessee, and weve had received very few complaints. Thats really all i ever comment on is tennessee. But, yeah, i your election wasnt rigged, was it . You won. No. I won overwhelmingly, so i sure hope it wasnt. Im usually the most underfunded candidate out there. So im doing something right, i guess. I guess you get what im saying, right . I do. It boggles the mind a little bit why the former president continues to say that. Trump continues to say the election was rigged. Why doesnt somebody tell him to knock that off . Nobody believes that except him. Well, hes trump. I mean nobody told george bush either bush what to do, and i suspect nobody told president obama what to do. Ultimately they have big egos, and they do what theyre going to do, and theyre going to say what they want to say. Thats the problem with leadership. Thats one problem i do not have. Ive got people around me all the time that tell me what i dont do right. In my household, i get that quite a bit, and im generally wrong when they tell me that. But, you know, im not president of the United States. Hes also blaming the House Speaker for what took place On January 6th. Lets listen to a bit of that. I want to know who you by the way, nancy pelosi why would i tell you that. You dont want to talk about that . Nancy pelosi was in charge of security. She turned down 10,000 soldiers. If she didnt turn down the soldiers, you wouldnt have had january 6th. Did you call military or Law Enforcement . What . Did you call military or Law Enforcement at the moment the capitol was dr. Im not going to tell you anything. Okay. Let me put it this way. I behaved so well. I did such a good job. Congressman, isnt it true that its Donald Trumps fault that january 6th happened . Had he just accepted the results of the election, there never would have been a january 6th. Why continue to blame the speaker at the time, nancy pelosi . It doesnt make any sense. Well, dan bishop and i were walking up the steps to the capitol, running a little late. And there was one capitol hill policeman there on the gates, and they had all the fencing up and everything. And they made us go around and go through the tunnel. And i said to bishop, i said, thats kind of odd, you know. Usually they have more people here when they have a veterans or a biker rally or a right to life rally. I think there was a complete failure all the way around. They did not see it. Speaker pelosi was doing a documentary with her daughter that covered all of her activity. Frankly, jim, i would love to come on and i tried to talk to the january 6th commission about what i saw On January 6th. I was the last house member to leave the house floor, literally, and i could not and i saw Somebody Filming in the tunnel, and i couldnt get them to call me back. Ive called them twice. Then finally i went and viewed the camera rodney davis took me in, and we viewed the cameras ourselves, the film. I think there was a lot at fault there. But none of that would have happened if trump had just accepted that he lost the election. If trump had well if he just accepted he lost the election like your democratic opponent in tennessee when you won reelection. That person said, you know what . Tim burchett won the election. Im going to go on my way and move on with my life. Donald trump didnt do that. Well, im still lying about it being rigged. You understand my point. Listen, if President Trump had gone on the news and said, yall cool it, it would have stopped. Youre right there, absolutely, 100 . It put peoples lives at risk, and i thought it would have been a great opportunity for him to make press, but he didnt. Nobody else did either. And it just went on, and it went from bad to worse. Congressman, we appreciate your time very much. I do want to get into the uap investigation that youre doing up on the hill. Were going to get you to come back another time and talk about that as well. Thanks as always. Always good to talk to you. Appreciate it. Jim, its always a pleasure. I look forward to your special on regular folks tonight. Thanks for looking after those dogs. I got three rescues, and im a rescue. Weve got three dogs, four cats, and a couple of horses. So i appreciate anything you do on those grounds. Its the best decision i ever made well, one of the best. Thanks, congressman. Appreciate it. Sure. Still ahead, former President Trump sits down for his first interview in a while with the press about what took place On January 6th. Well talk about the challenges of questioning him. Plus, Drew Barrymore hits the pause button on restarting her talk show amid the ongoing Writers Strike. What shes saying p her decision. And later, from being a child living on welfare to an aide in the Obama White House, Alejandro Campo verde joins us to share her story in a new memoir.

Former President Donald Trump sat down for a wideranging interview this morning on nbcs Meet The Press. I want to stay focused on you. Okay. For the purposes of this interview, okay . Because its important that we hear from you about all of this. Well, id like you to, but you keep interrupting me. Mr. President , tell me what you see when you look at your mug shot. I see somebody that loves this country in me, that loves this country. I see tremendous unfairness. I think very few people would have been able to handle what i handled. I just want to hear from you on this. I want to know whats in your head. When you go to bed at night, do you worry about going to jail . No, i dont really. I dont even think about it. Trump also said it was, quote, my decision, as in his Decision Torks try to overturn the 2020 election results. He said republicans, quote, speak very inarticulately about abortion and slam statelevel restrictions on abortion that could alienate americans across the country. And that while he likes democracy, it had to be added, quote, i dont consider us to have much of a Democracy Right N Now which of course is not true. Lets discuss with reporter oliver darcy. We didnt really highlight it there, but he made a number of false statements, lets just call them lies, once again in this interview. Interviewing the former president is difficult. Hes sort of like the usain bolt of lying. He lies so fast, its hard to keep up. It raises this issue of factchecking him in real time. Yeah, jim. Thats exactly right. I think its very difficult to interview the former president. I think this interview showed again how challenging it is. Like you said, his mouth is like a machine gun, and he uses it to fire off lies at a rapid, rapid clip. But, jim, i also want to be frank. You know, nbc news spent the past week hyping newly minted Meet The Press Moderator Kristen Welker as someone who met the moment under Donald Trumps administration when she was a white house correspondent, and she did fail to meet that moment unfortunately during her interview with donald trump. There were a number of times where he said things that were just simply untethered from reality, and she did not aggressively factcheck him in a meaningful way. Look, its not easy. Im not saying its easy to interview donald trump. Its a very challenging thing as i just said. But they willfully took on this assignment. If youre going to take on this assignment, youre going to sign up to interview the former president , you have to be ready to interview him and a manner that factchecks him in real time, in an aggressive way because these arent just falsehoods about anything, hes saying. These are very dangerous lies hes spreading, and theyre damaging to our democratic institutions. So carrying them really has a lot of consequence. Yeah. I mean its difficult for all News Organizations, including this one. I mean we all have learned our lessons doing this, and i experienced some of this myself when i covered the white house. It is hard to keep him inside the guardrails of reality. How should the media approach these interviews with the former president . One of the thoughts i had is going into the next sitdown interview with the former president , if youre going to do it taped and so on, why not have a fact checker in there as well . That way you can fact check him in real time and say hold on, youre not dealing with reality. Youre not telling the truth. I think its incredible, jim, that the media still hasnt quite figured out a way to effectively do this. At least most News Organizations are still struggling with this. But i think the key thing is you dont interview him as if hes a normal politician. This is someone who tried to subvert democracy in the 2020 election. And so the interview should be focused on holding him to account, not trying to make, you know, news as a lot of other people do. It has to be about Holding Power to account and focusing on the damaging lies that he has told about the election and the damaging actions he took in the aftermath of the election that led to an insurrection on the u. S. Capitol. Yeah. You cant let him, you know, squirm his way out of these lies. I mean when he blames it on the House Speaker, nancy pelosi, at that time, i mean obviously and i just had this conversation with congressman burchett a few moments ago. Had donald trump just accepted the fact that he lost the election, you know, there would have been no january 6th. There would not have been an insurrection at the capitol. So blame this on anybody but himself is just not dealing with reality. I do want to say i worked with Kristen Welker at the white house, covering the white house, and i just thought she was a fantastic reporter over there. So im sure theyre going to go back and look at what took place and try to smooth things out for the future. But let me ask you this. Lets talk about the Writers Strike. Today Drew Barrymore backtracked on the decision to bring back her daytime talk show. This stunned a lot of people late last week when they said, okay, no, were going back on the air. What is she saying . Well, now shes reversed her decision, jim. After all of that backlash, she posted a statement on instagram, and ill read to you part of it. She said, i have no words to express my deepest apologies to anyone i have hurt and of course to our Incredible Team who works on the show and made it what it is today. I she also said shes not going to be returning back to the air until this Writers Strike concludes. The other talk show the talk, also pausing coming back. So whats interesting as you saw last week, all these shows announced basically they were going to move forward with their season premieres despite the Writers Strike. Now that theyre facing some backlash, the writers were Picketing Outside of these sets. Now that fair facing some backlash, theyre pausing and reversing those decisions. Jimmy fallon, jimmy kimmel, stephen colbert, they came up with a unique way to deal with the Writers Strike. What can you tell us about that . Theyve started hosting this show, jim, strike force, where theyve been talking about the Writers Strike and a lot of other things. And theyve been raising money actually for the writers. It actually stands in very stark contrast to what some of those talk shows have done. Instead of going back to the air, theyve done this podcast. Theyre going to do a vegas show, and theyre raising money for the writers and other Production Staff that have been out of work while this dispute with the studios remains ongoing. All right. Great to see them doing that. Got to support the writers. Were nothing without our writers. Oliver darcy, thank you very much. Really appreciate it.

Welcome back. Youre looking at some live pictures right now of President Biden hopping on board marine one as he gets set to attend the United Nations General Assembly in new york. The president will be there for a good portion of this week. Hes not only going to be meeting with World Leaders from all over the globe, hes going to be having a special meeting with the president of ukraine this week, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where a big topic will be, of course, aid to the ukrainians as they fight the russians. In the meantime, its a legal setback for the dreamers. A judge this week ruling the Biden Administrations efforts to preserve the obamaera program known as daca, is unlawful. Cnns Camila Bernal has more. Reporter the success of this mexican candy Family Business is, in part, thanks to the deferred action for childhood arrivals program, or daca. When we got daca, it was like it was a boost. It was like a catalyst. And then things just happened faster. Things were easier. Reporter licenses, loans, leases all possible after ignacio began benefiting from this obamaera program. Now ignacio and his two siblings benefit from daca. They make part of the more than 580,000 socalled dreamers in the u. S. , undocumented immigrants often arriving to the u. S. As a young age, eligible for Work Authorization and shielded from deportation. But a federal judge in texas this week ruled that a regulation intended to preserve daca is unlawful. The time is running out, and i think that even if the Biden Administration appeals, which i believe they will, and i think it will go all the way up to the Supreme Court. Looking at our Supreme Court and looking at the law, i think its likely that the Supreme Court would find it unlawful, and then its over. Reporter jean reisz, professor and codirector of the immigration clinic at uscs law school, says the ruling could force a more permanent solution. People are reminded of the uncertainty, how much time do they have left . Years maybe. I think it really puts pressure on reform. Reporter At The Center of the issue is the scope of the president s authority, which is why for years, congressional leaders have tried to come to an agreement over Immigration Reform and failed. I think the agreement is there, but i think because certain factions of congress have taken such a position against daca, that its very hard to come back to the middle and save face. Reporter immigration attorney alex galvez says at the end of the day, its the beneficiaries of the program that suffer. The dreamers are in limbo once again. Its a political ping pong. Yes daca, no daca. Reporter the texas ruling does not impact current beneficiaries, but it does prohibit new applications. Yet the reality is that ignacio does feel impacted. Even though im living like comfortably right now, always in the back of my head is, like, what if one day somebody decides to come and end daca . Reporter Camila Bernal, cnn, los angeles. In honor of hispanic heritage month, we want to highlight a new book which charts the journey of one latina on her journey here to the Nations Capital in washington, d. C. Its the memoir of alejandra campoverdi. Alejandra campoverdi joins us now. I remember when we were running into each other at the Obama White House back in the day. It was a little while back. It feels like just yesterday though. Its great to be with you. Congrats on the book. Thank you. The story of migrants coming to the u. S. Is a huge topic right now. What we dont hear about very much is the Success Stories of the children of immigrants who are coming into this country. You see the pictures on the news all the time of migrants coming to the u. S. Theyre often bringing children with them. But we dont hear about the Success Stories. A lot of these children end up doing quite well. Lots of obstacles along the way, lots of challenges and struggles, but they do well. Youre one of those examples. Lets talk about that. Thank you. What i actually am trying to point out in this book first gen is we kind of do talk about the Success Stories, but lot with a lot of nuance, right . The journey of social mobility that has an emotional toll to it. So youd see these first to this and only to that, and we celebrate that. But a lot of that experience is kind of lost in translation. If we dont talk about that, a lot of folks feel their experiences arent validated or they feel isolated. You write this your book about the experiences that children of immigrants have in common. Have you run across some recurring themes . What are some challenges that stand out to you . Absolutely. The idea from this book came from a speech i was giving at harvard. I noticed the students had this look in their eyes that i recognized, which was kind of a swirl of contradictory emotions. As i started speaking about these emotions and what i call the Trailblazer Toll and these number of emotional tolls that kind of roll out throughout your life, i started realizing how widespread they are, were its Breakaway Guilt when you eventually make more money than other people in your family. Your life is the only one thats changed. Or these extreme risks that feel like blindfolded Cliff Jumping where the stakes are so much higher for you. I remember when i went to harvard, i had to take out 150,000 of student loan debt. So when you say, she went to harvard, that sounds great, right . But lets talk about what it really took. Yeah. Lets talk about that. You write about your experience at harvard, what you went through when you were there. What were some of those moments like . Did you feel like this kid of an immigrant at harvard, in a place where maybe there werent so many folks like yourself there . What was that like . I say social mobility demands a lot of costume changes because you are morphing to survive, and theres different pieces of yourself that sometimes you lose along the way. As youre moving into these spaces, were told a lot that Imposter Syndrome is actually what were feeling. Its youre not confident enough. Youre not confident enough. But actually we commissioned a National Poll on first gen students and Imposter Syndrome was down at the bottom as far as the emotional toll they experienced. It was financial trauma, which should be what does that mean, financial trauma . Youre always worried about money . Well, 82 of first gen students have to work while they go to school. Were not talking like a job so that they can have spending money. A lot of them have to send money to their family and still feel financially responsible for their families. Yeah. And the number two reason, jim, emotional isolation and loneliness. Thats why i wrote this book, so that we can feel seen and less alone because theres so many of us. A third of College Students are first gen right now. Yeah. As we were saying earlier, immigration is such a huge topic these days. It was a big topic at the Obama White House, obviously for the trump administration. Its a problem that the Biden Administration is dealing with. What are your thoughts on this . Why is this issue so hard to solve . As we were just talking about a few moments ago with Camila Bernal and her piece, the daca program is still struggling to deal with what do we do with the dreamers who have been in this country years and years now . We need to support these students, and a lot of these first gen students were talking about are these zadaca studentss well. They dont have support once they get into school. 90 of them dont graduate on time even though they make up a third of our College Students. So when were talking about this financial trauma, when were talking about this support, were talking about the wealth gap. We have a unique opportunity here with these young people to be able to really enhance economic mobility in this country. But we have to be honest about who were talking about, and these are the social mobility generators. These are the American Dream believers. Theyre almost audaciously optimistic about being able to buy houses and cars. Just to i wanted to touch on something thats near and dear to my heart, and that is my family. Im sure your family must be so important to you as well. You write about this lovingly in your book, about your family, the struggles that your mother went through. Can you talk about that . It was hard because writing this book, i had to excavate not only a lot of memories of my own but a lot of traumatic memories that folks in my family went through, especially my mother. Its a fullcircle part of this kind of invisible inheritances we get from our family and thinking about the inheritances we want to disrupt and think about the inheritances that are so beautiful that we want to continue. So as i kind of came out the other side of the Sausage Maker of this journey, realizing how intertwined, like a braid, all of our experiences are, and that in a lot of ways, were a familys living memorial. You also feel like youre their protector, like with my dad, cuban immigrant. My mom raised me as a single mom. You feel like you want to protect them. You do. Thats also part of what we need to talk about because there is a lot of parentification and a lot of caretakerness in the children of immigrants, and its beautiful. We do want to take care of our families, and we want to talk about the emotional toll it takes on our relationships and our responsibilities to make our familys sacrifices worth it. Youve got to take care of yourself too. Put your mask on first, right . Thank you so much for your time. Really appreciate it. Its a great book. First gen, a memoir. Its about an experience that a lot of people go through in this country, and you really shine a light on it. Its really important. Thanks for your time.

Major Pharmacy Chains are now offering appointments for anyone 6 months and older who wanted updated covid19 shot. The fda and the cdc signed off on the tweaked vaccine this past week, which Officials Say is effective against the latest strain that is currently making its way through the u. S. Cnn medical analyst dr. Jonathan reiner joins us now. Hes also a professor at George Washington University School of medicine. Dr. Reiner, great to see you as wls. Who should get vaccinated first . Everyone should get vaccinated. The vaccine has been approved and recommended for everyone in this country over the age of 6 months. The way to think about this vaccine is everyone is going to get some benefit from this vaccine, and some people will have a bigger benefit, and that really comprises the people at greatest risk. So essentially people over the age of 65, people with preexisting conditions, you know, fighting cancer, immune deficiencies, you know, heart and lung disease. Those folks really comprise the group who have died, you know, from covid. Yeah. What do the numbers look like . Is there a trend that we need to be worried about, a trend line that is concerning to you . Is this really just about being prepared, being safe . We are in a torrential surge of covid right now. Okay. Its a little bit hard to know the exact numbers because states dont report cases anymore, and most of the testing is done at home with rapid assays. But using wastewater sampling, a model this week suggested we have about 650,000 new cases of covid per day. Thats about as high as it ever was during the initial surges in 2020, and were getting close to what it was at the Peaks Of Delta and omicron. So theres a tremendous amount of covid in the community. Hospitalizations have been up every week for the last eight weeks. Hospitalizations are up in the last week about 10 . Deaths are up about 5 . Why are we seeing deaths the way it was during the height of covid . Is it because people have gotten sick and theyre immune, people have gotten vaccinated and theyre immune, or is It Suppressing its a little bit of all that. Its estimated about 95 of all people in this country have some immunity to covid, either vaccine or illness or hybrid immunity. But still even with much lower levels of mortality than last year, about 650 people died in the United States last week. That compares to about a year ago, about 3,000. So were at much lower levels. But this virus is still deadly. Its making a lot of people sick, and just about everyone now knows somebody who has covid now. You know, whether people want to get the vaccine is going to be an issue, i suppose. Theres covid fatigue. Theres vaccine fatigue. I dont personally understand that. Im going to go get my flu shot and get this updated covid vaccine. Why not . But its out there in the political realm. President ial candidate ron desantis says hes advising people under the age of 65 against getting the new booster shots. Heres gop candidate tim scott, who said this at the faith and freedom banquet. Lets listen to this. Because if we continue the current trajectory of spending, it just goes up like a rocket. If we went back to theres no longer covid by the way. We cant use that as an excuse. Someone saying thank god, right . Hes saying there is no covid anymore. Theres no longer covid. So theres still a lot of misinformation swirling. Yeah, id like there not to be covid, but covid is still here, and its rising right now. So weve politicized this. Jake tapper this morning asked the former Vice President , mike pence, whether he was going to get the booster, and he declined to answer that. I guarantee you hell get the booster. Weve managed to politicize health in the United States. If you and to the detriment of many people. The best way to look at this is look what happened to the United States after vaccines became available to everyone, to all adults, which was the spring of 2021. Before that, in every state and by party, basically mortality was the same. But after the spring of 2021 when vaccines were rolled out en masse, you started to see this differential split. If you looked at House Districts that voted for gop candidates, the mortality for covid was higher, and the answer to why is simple. Vaccine uptake amongst gop voting folks in this country was much lower than for people who voted democrat in the United States. Yeah. The way we got this under control is because people went out and got vaccinated, not to the level that we could have, but it got under control. Everyone will get some benefit from this vaccine. The folks at highest risk will have the benefit of having a lower risk of being hospitalized or dying. And younger people, people who feel invincible, will have a lower risk also of perhaps getting infected. But importantly, theyll have a lower risk of getting long covid, which can be very debilitating and is a real problem. If you talk to anybody who deals with that, you dont want that.
