whether that would lead to nuclear war. you said a moment ago the press loves the escalating kind of talk. yeah. these images are horrific. we re seeing a humanitarian crisis in ukraine. but you look at some of these press inquiries of jen psaki, and almost all of the questions are focused on why aren t we doing more to intervene, why aren t we doing more to escalate? you ll get very occasionally one reporter saying what are we doing to end this. it seems the american people definitely want this to end, but we need to have much more of a discussion about whether regime change should be our de facto policy, and it s clearly, with the exception of the priest administration, clear previous administration, it has been policy. that s why ukraine is such a many administrations have sought to do regime change. we don t have a particularly great track record with regime change even when we re not dealing with really powerful nuclear countries like russia. howard: right. we need to see
prevalent to currently? prevalent to currently? thank you very much, prevalent to currently? thank you very much, iain. prevalent to currently? thank you very much, iain. you re prevalent to currently? thank you very much, iain. you re very i prevalent to currently? thank you very much, iain. you re very good point about whether we are going hard enough and why aren t we doing plan b, the key thing to understand is you have got two variants in play now, and they require a different approach. so what we are doing, we think the measures we have are right for dealing with delta, and they are proportionate and you have heard from chris about what is happening with case numbers and also with hospitalisations with the measures we have in place, and also we think that this is the right approach to omicron given the uncertainties that we have and the need to take a precautionary approach with an incoming variant from elsewhere, about which we simply don t yet know enough. so it is two d
covid vaccine the same way we do other vaccines. we required child immunizations for measles, polio, rubella. why aren t we doing that for the covid vaccine? that set the tone. i hope many will follow the example of l.a. unified. dr. leana wen, always good to have you on. thank you. just as we were speaking there is more news out of los angeles where the school district as we noted set to mandate vaccines for students 12 and older attending in-person classes. the board of education will vote later today with that measure expected to pass. cnn court stephanie elam is in los angeles this morning. this will be the most sweeping aggressive measure by any school district in the country. i wonder what the reception is. are any parents pushing back or is this a change they welcome? reporter: keep in mind there is a smaller school district in the area that has mandated something similar like this. you re seeing this across the
