The timeline as laid out by MSNBC s Chris Hayes shows dereliction of duty even more repugnant than usual for Trump. According to a memoir by Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, Trump tested positive nearly a week before he publicly disclosed his condition.
the supreme court is likely to do on roe v. wade based on the arguments and the questions they asked. a lot of opposing reads on what they actually said and what each was getting at. we ll get senator graham s view on that coming up. first a big announcement on how the white house will handle this winter and battle omicron, the new variant that the president says will continue to spread over the coming months of winter. that as we learn of a second u.s. case in minnesota. the person was vaccinated. had attended a convention in new york city days before testing positive. dr. brett giroir, the former covid testing czar under president trump joins us now. good to see you, doctor. thanks very much for coming back on the program. so what is your i just want to put up on the screen the bullet points of what the president said. here s what he s going to do. private health plans that pay
vaccinated and if you are vaccinated, top off your immune system tank with the booster. it s going to be very important given the constellation of mutations with the omicron variant. we don t know that it is more severe and probably isn t more severe. probably like every other variant. the high risk people will be at risk, low risk people will do well. martha: thanks, dr. giroir. great to have you here. thank you. martha: joining me now, fox news contributor medical contributor, dr. marc siegel. doctor, great to have you with us as well. what is your take on what the president just said. how concern are you and who needs the booster first? first of all, martha, good afternoon. i m happy to hear him not saber rattling about mandates and lock downs and shut downs right now. all that rhetoric that has cost us severely psychologically. i agree with dr. admiral giroir it wasn t much of a change in
that it s a lot of rhetoric. let me explain. i have been saying for a while as has men at harvard and dr. giroir as well, we knee rapid tests in every home. to now say that insurance will cover it or we ll have centers for people that don t have understand, that s not going to unclog this. i disagree with the admiration. i m fine with having one before you get on a plane within 24 hours. i think the pcr three days in advance is not as accurate. too many loop holes. you could have a fall negative result. i like the media see of a rapid test before you get on a plane. that s one thing i liked. i m a huge supporter of the boosters. he said top off the tank. i agree with that. especially with an emerging variant like omicron that may
yeah, i hope that that is true, martha. by the way, i m very concerned about the hysteria and panic that omicron has caused across the country because people are afraid of the unknown. they re going they re flashing back in time. i think the idea that you just mentioned would be terrific. let s take this as a matter of course, let s learn about it and let s learn that maybe it s not as bad as delta and the precautions we have with the anti-virals coming outs, more testing and tools that we have now that can protect us. martha: it s more manageable than ever and i think that is the big message here that people need to hear from you and dr. giroir as well. dr. siegel, always good to see you. thanks. great to have you here. great to be on with you. martha: all right. so why exactly were the parents of the alleged michigan school shooter called to the office of that school that morning with their son to talk about him? we re going to talk to the pitman family.
