vaccines and a little bit about the technology. okay. so keep in mind, lisa, we have about 600,000 americans that chi every single year from cancer. about 700,000 the lose their life every year from heart disease. one person every 34 seconds dies from heart citizen. so with this concern heart disease. actually, the concept isn t really new. it s been around since the 1980s, but basically it teaches your body how to recognize cancer cells and then attack and destroy it. and, of course, with everything there are potential side effects, and that s why it s always about risk versus benefit. but i want to point out you hear the word vaccine, there is some negative con no asians with it, but there s two types of vaccines. one meaning it s preventive leak your hepatitis or tetanus shots. the other type of vaccine is called they are pilottic vaccin, and it s not a vaccine in the traditional sense, it s more of a treatment. and that s what this type of vaccine comes into play.
have to do it with a sense of urgency. we need a defense budget pretty similar to what reagan had. 5% to 6% of g.d.p., brian. this sits at 3. and that s why, in my judgment, it s not enough to really jump start what we need to do in the indo-pacific region. yes, are there good things in the budget? certainly. yes, there are. but, overall, not sufficient. as to the vaccine, i have come full circle on this. so our audience understands, when we deploy our troops around the world, they get a protocol regiment of shots to protect them from that particular region of the world. tetanus shots, et cetera. and this is why the covid-19 shot was added to that protocol regiment. but the science has moved us in a different direction. we now have natural immunity throughout this country. most people asymptomatic. we also have this particular cohort of the united states military, which is young and healthy. and does not have co-morbidity
i have just been driving around in a some of the places that have the worst damage for checking on people making sure they don t have really bad wounds. a lot of people need tetanus shots. they do have a lot of small ones that are not infected. x back out here live menu came in from dallas, texas to help build the memorial with another man. what compels you to come to fact southwest florida and do this? the opportunity this opportunity to come and help try to continue with the work that leo, my friend started with the flowers. and i continued with the process. i know there s going to be many more and i know we do not have enough space. i continued with this wall behind me be a process until we
island alive whether that be people who are evacuating or people who need to be rescued. but a lot of these people who are safe now lost everything. that includes a physician s assistant that we spoke with who lost her practice but in her time hof need, she s still helping other people. listen to this. i ve just been driving around and some of the places that haves worst damage just checking on people making sure they don t have really bad wounds, a lot of people need tetanus shots because they have a lot of small wounds that aren t infected. reporter: now, john, on top of that, many pets were also displaced during the storm and the naples humane society has really stepped up. multiple shelters in the area have been damaged or destroyed and the naples area have taken in a lot of animals, over 500 of them and shipping them to northern states for adoption. listen to this. we will be running and taking
them what they need and help them out. what we learned today is the number one thing they re asking for is tetanus shots because there s so much debris everywhere, people are trying to clean up and stepping on it and getting cut by it and they want to get protected from it. but that s the level of things that we re dealing with out here. people are trapped in their houses because only accessible road to the outside world is washed away. they need a tetanus shot because they re cut on the debris that swept into their yard from historic flood. it s an unbelievable situation, jake. and it just is a really, really harrowing thing these people are dealing with. thank you so much. appreciate it. claims of player tampering and even game fixing in the nfl. the league today releasing its findings. and punishing one team owner, if you call that a punishment. that story next.
