vaccination programme, we have heard there is no need, we are told, for a fourth dose. it is a testament to the work at the third dose is doing. there is still a drive on vaccinations. we still know in the capital there are a lot of people who have not even had a single vaccine. . , , vaccine. that is right, there still a focus on vaccine. that is right, there still a focus on making vaccine. that is right, there still a focus on making sure - vaccine. that is right, there still i a focus on making sure everybody vaccine. that is right, there still - a focus on making sure everybody has had a first vaccine and then go on to have their second and third. evidence has found that after three months after having a boosterjab, people have 95% protection from needing hospital treatment, they are standing up very well. the gc vi, the vaccine experts, i sing for now they do not feel they have to give out fourth doses but they will keep monitoring that and see what happens over a period of t
they have decided the senile mannequin in the white house knows less about covid than they do and they may be onto something. meanwhile, in israel, probably the most vaccinated country in the world, scientists just contradicted everything the administration has been telling us for a full year about faxing passports and natural immunity. so a study in israel which no one has yet to announce as misinformation, found that four vaccine shots do not work as well against omicron as natural immunity does. and one of israel s top vaccine experts admitted natural immunity in general is highly effective. watch this. a view now of the view that vaccine passports should be phased out because there are no longer relevant in the omicron era? i tend to think so. even if the omicron is causing a lot of breakthrough not breakthrough infection but reinfection, people who are vaccinated, secondary infection, we have to take into account
to make sure that our schools stay open full time, five days a week. i recognize there are going to be some bumps along the way, but the goal for all of us, i know educators across the country know, we don t want to go back to how it was fully remote. we dough want to go back to hy hybrid. our schools thrive when students are in person. dr. peter hotez, who is apa pedia pediatrician, professor, and vaccine experts, he says schools in areas where they, quote, screaming level of transmission, like new york city and washington, d.c. right now, should push back the return to in-person learning. so after this holiday break or after this holiday break resumes, and in fact, new jersey jersey city public schools announced they will be virtual next week and return to in-person learning on january 10th. should more districts be considering these temporary measures? not going full-blown virtual and so on, but maybe pushing things back a little bit? you know, oftentimes though
