yeah. but here s the problem that you have with your argument. i m going to tell you where you re wrong. you think measles is a baby disease for the little kid. yes, that is true. but if i m an organ transplant recipient and i m 65 years old and i have to take a whole bunch of medication to make sure my liver is kept because i m taking anti-resifnt medication i cannot afford to be around a kid with measles. i ll be sick. we live in a society where adult medicine has become vast. we re putting hearts and livers. people surviving cancer with chemotherapy. we re doing a lot of things for the adult population. that adult population needs to be part of our community. therefore, that s why everybody needs to be safe. no question this can hurt the kids or adults. if you re vaccinated or your kid you re protected. so it doesn t matter if
the measles sot. here s the problem you have with your argument. i will tell you are where you are wrong. you think meezles is a baby disease. you know, for little kids. yes, that s true. if i m an organ transplant recipient and i m 65 years old and i have to take a bunch of medication to make sure my liver is kept because i m taking anti-rejection medicine which makes my immune system weaken i cannot afford to be around a kid with measles. i would be very sick. it s not just about the children. we live in a time when adult medicine has become hard and fast. we have people survivinging cancer with chemotherapy. we have things we are doing for the adult population. that needs to be part of the community. therefore, that s why everybody needs to be safe. no question this can hurt kids or adults. absolutely. if your kid is vaccinated or oh you are you are vaccinated, you re protected.
transplanted live liver. it was like a new engine. i had my best snowboard results ever and was on the world cup podium four times. in 2002, he became the first-ever organ transplant recipient to compete in the olympics. he won bronze in parallel giant slalom. but he didn t forget how he got there. he started the chris klug foundation. the donors are the real miracle of the process. and this father of two isn t taking that second chance of life lightly. dr. sanjay gupta, cnn, reporting. good luck to all of our u.s. olympians who are overseas. i just want to remind you, cnn is on the weather story for you, servicing everyone who is in the path of this really monstrous and dangerous storm, all the way from this southeast all the way to the northeast and trust me, there are hundreds of thousands of people who are going to be in this path directly, the danger
forth of this mess, the bottom line is people do not need a booster. there is one exception if you re immune compromised. for example, you re an organ transplant recipient and taking immune suppression drugs. a third shot might help you. there are studies on this now. for the vast majority of people, there s no reason to be getting a third shot. right. one shot enough not. two shots the sweet spot as far as the data. let s talk about the cdc school guidelines. it s hard to believe in some places schools start up in a few weeks. my kids don t go back until september. what do we need to know? the cdc is saying it s a priority for kids to be in school. and certain safety precautions need to be taken. let s look at what they re saying. they say if at your school if not everyone is vaccinated, you should practice physical distancing if possible. also if you yourself are not vaccinated whether you re a student or a teacher or staff,
have been fully vaccinated do not need a booster shot at this time. americans who have been fully vaccinated do not need a booster shot at this time. two caveats there. might we need one later? sure. it s possible. another thing is the people who are immune compromised, and you would know if you are, you re an organ transplant recipient, for example, you might benefit from a third shot. you should talk to your doctor. that is a very small number of people in the united states. so, elizabeth, tell us about this new survey that the census bureau did that compares unvaccinated rates in americans with their household incomes. i think there s been a lot of effort to figure out, all right, one out of three americans has chosen not to get vaccinated. what do we know about them so we can try public health messaging that will get through to them? the u.s. census bureau decided to look at vaccine data and compare it with household income data, and this is what they found. it s quite interest
