these vaccines. we ll discuss the efficacy today. it ll be an ongoing discussion. i think that, again, after this meeting, it will be the beginning of a many series of meetings at the local level with everyone so that they can understand the true value of these vaccines. i don t expect that, you know, this meeting will convince 50% or more of the population to get vaccinated or to have their children vaccinated. i think, again, it s just the beginning of a number of conversations to be able to discuss these vaccines. dr. chen, can you talk to us about how the cdc is now pointing to this new research that shows immunity from the vaccine is more consistent than immunity from an infection. what can you tell us about this. yeah. there is data that is suggesting that, you know, when you vaccinate someone, it really seems to have, you know, a more predictable immune response, which is protective and long
lasting. and, of course, it s a safe way to illicit a protective immune response, compared to infection, for which the strength of the infection, you know, can also affect the immune response. meaning a person with a mild infection may not have a long-lasting immune response. whereas, a person who has a very severe infection may get a strong immune response if they survive it. yeah, it s important research. i think we knew this, but it is such an important new data point in all this. dr. wilber chen, thanks for being with us. okay. thank you. new day continues right now. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. it is tuesday, november 2nd. americans are heading to the polls on this election day. in some ways, the race between joe biden and donald trump may be playing out all over again. this morning, all eyes are on two critical races for governor. in virginia, also in new jersey,
