motive. i know that many have received a number of calls about, is this a hate crime. we re still early in this investigation, so we cannot make that determination at this moment. again, we are very early in this investigation. even though we have made an arrest, there is still a lot more work to be done. he made indicators that he has some issues, potentially sexual addiction, and may have frequented some of these places in the past. he claims that these as the chief said, it s still early, but he does claim it was not racially motivated. he apparently has an issue, what he considers a sex addiction, and sees these locations as something that allows him to go to these places, and it s a temptation for him that he wanted to eliminate. to be clear, that is what the suspect is telling police. there is still a lot that we do not know. atlanta s lance bottoms provided a little more detail that plils police have determined he was on his way to florida when he was captu
you re in an at risk group for thrombotic events, if you re pregnant, you may want to switch to one of themrna vaccines but even that s a soft call because there s not a lot of data on the durability of protection. thank you, as always, dr. hotez, great to see you. ahead, let s make a deal. new optimism in washington. can you believe that? the months-long talks between democrats are finally leading somewhere. and we re live on the ground in west virginia. what do people there make of joe manchin s role in the democratic party? we ll be right back. tonight, i ll be eating a buffalo chicken panini with extra hot sauce. tonight, i ll be eating salmon sushi with a japanese jiggly cheesecake.

that this was going to be a three-dose vaccine. we knew that because we gave the first-two doses so close together. and when you do that, you don t get long-term, durable protection so it was a matter of time before we were going to accept expect a third immunization in order to give a really important boost in antibody responses, virus neutralizing antibody and durability of protection. so, we knew this was coming. and then, on wednesday, israelis published in new england journal of medicine an important study showing those 60 years of age who only received two doses were going into the hospital at at pretty high rates and lots of breakthrough covid infections. where if they got a third immunization, they they did much better and there was a 20% decline in hospitalizations, tenfold decline in cases. so at a minimum, i would have thought they would have brought that down to 60 years of age. and then, today, the centers for disease control in their mmwr,
recommended. what is the data behind all of this? and have we zeroed in on how long vaccines are effective? i think it s important to remember if you remember back in january, december, january when these vaccines were first rolled out, we were at a terrible place. we were losing 3,000 american lives every day. there was the urgency to vaccinate the people as quickly as possible. the phase three were two to three weeks apart. en that was done for expediency. but for long term durability of protection, a boost that comes three weeks of after the first immunization is not great at doing that. and so when we saw what was going to be rolled out, a number of us thought there is going to be a need for a booster later on, whether it s a year afterwards or eight months afterwards or 16 months
50? well, anderson, based on the data from the utilization and implementation of their vaccine program, they re seeing a significant diminution in the durability of protection. they see that more among the elderly than they do among younger. so they made a decision to do that. we in this country are collecting data from multiple cohorts. both domestic and international. domestic cohorts are being followed on a daily and weekly basis by the cdc. we are assuming that sooner or later, we re going to have to give boosters so what we re doing right now, the decision is we don t need to do it right now. it s not imminent. but we re preparing as if it will be imminent. so we re going to be ready to do it whenever the data shows that
