let s talk to dr. megan ranney, the associate dean of public health at brown university. and she joins us in the studio because she attended the vaccine summit at the white house. you were at the summit today at the white house. doctors spending most of the day discussing the next generation of covid vaccines. we re seeing a drastic rise in hospitalizations since april 1st because of covid. do you think the day could have been better spent discussing how to prevent the current spike we re in, if you could call it a spike? i think we know how to address the surge of cases that we re clearly in the midst of now. the thing about the vaccines we have is they are holding hospitalizations and deaths down. if we were having the number of cases that we re experiencing right now and we didn t have the current vaccines or boosters, or if we didn t have paxlovid, we would beane situation like what we had last year or worse yet, in 2020. pre-vaccines. so this discussion is critical,
