Days. Im Pamela Brown, in wash was washington. Welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. You are in the cnn newsroom, on this saturday. And across much of america, the masks have come off. Covid numbers have gone up. And Reality Sets in. This nation is facing a pandemic of the unvaccinated. New cases are trending up, in 49 states. And with that spread, more deaths, more hospitalizations. The rise mainly caused by the highlycontagious Delta Variant, and the highlypoliticized antivaccine crusade. More leaders on the state and local level are now implementing or at least considering new restrictions, in hopes of reigning in the escalating numbers. Just under half of all americans are fully vaccinated. Pushing herd immunity, for now, out of reach. Meanwhile, the Fda And Cdc are exploring a Possiblebooster Dose of covid19 vaccine. But as of now, only for people considered immunocompromised. And in some states, like texas, local officials may find themselves handcuffed by state laws. Earlierthis year, the heavilyrepublican texas legislature, along with governor greg abbott, responded to the pandemic by limiting what officials can do in response to the pandemic. They passed a law that prohibits mask mandates for allgovernmental entities in texas and that includes counties, cities, school districts, and publichealth authorities. Mean time, texas is one of just three states accounting for 40 of all cases, nationwide, along with florida and missouri. Again, mostly unvaccinated people. Austin mayor, steve adler, joins me now with more. Mayor, thanks for coming on. As cases rise in austin, you are now recommending masks in public, even for those, already, vaccinated. But thats about all you can do. How frustrating are these state laws, in your view . You know, it it its not only frustrating but it has, i think, a real impact. It confuses the message. I dont think that people in our community understand the the the importance and and this and the danger that were in, right now. In part, because the messaging from the state is not in accord with that. So, its frustrating that the governor is limiting our powers. Its even more frustrating that the message going to the community is mixed. We challenged the Governors Ability to stop cities over new years eve. One, at the districtcourt level. We may have to do that, again. But for right now, we are just focused on trying to get our folks to to do the right thing. So, the question is why isnt the reality sinking in more . I know, you say you pin some of the blame on the state officials. According to the State Department of health, texas has season nearly9,000 covid19 deaths, since february. All but 43 of those victims were unvaccinated. Why do you think this Message Isnt sinking in with people there . You know, i think there are probably lots of reasons for that. But again, thats frustrating. You know, 90 of the people in our hospitals, right now, are people that have not been vaccinated. The number of people in our icus, 1 or 2 , are vaccinated people. So the science and the data is very clear. I think some of the people are just caught in this partisan thing. That, you know, President Trump started a year and a half ago. We, also, have some people in our community, im sure, that that dont have access to internet. That, when they have the access, the message theyre getting when they look at Social Media Is is conflicting. So were going Door To door, and trying to be as as open and as transparent, and get the real data out to as many people as we can. And trying to to get as many of those folks that, with information, will make the right choice trying to get a them that information. And when you say Door To door, you are just providing information, not vaccines. You know, so much of this is just gets politicized, right . I mean, when biden President Biden said that, you saw a lot of people misconstrue what he was saying on that. But information is important. It does make an impact. Statehealth services are now doing 18 popup events at texas Walmart Stores trying to get younger texans vaccinated ahead of The School year. How much success do you predict . Well, i i i wish it was moving faster and its moving too slowly. And we are all but doing actual Door To Door To to bring it to people. Trying to get vaccination clinics, popup clinics closer and closer to the to the pe people. It is going too slow. We are reaching out to more trusted voices in communities. Um, you know, oftentimes, its not the Government Voice that is the the most compelling to people that have issues with trust. My hope is, is that that drumbeat. If people see the numbers that are in our hospitals. See how many people are there, that are unvaccinated. That word will start to get out. I see thats beginning to happen, on the national level, with some republican leaders. Thats good to see. It, of course, is is is way too little and and its awfully late. But im welcoming it, now. But it doesnt seem its going to happen with our governor, who seems to be locked in a in a in a race with the governor of florida to see who can be farther to the right. And and that is sending a confused and conflicted message to our state. Do you think it would help, if the cdc updated its guidance . Right now, it still doesnt recommend, if you are vaccinated, to Wear Masks indoors, except for, you know, it tells people, look at where you are living and look at, you know, the Case Rates in your community. But do you think that would help . Do you think they should update it . From where i sit, i think they should. I think the standard from the World Health Organization is is more accurately reflecting what were seeing, on the ground, here. I am appreciative that the cdc, specifically, says that local areas are can go farther than their recommendation, based on whats happening on the ground. But the more i see, the more mayors i talk to from around the country, i dont think a lot of the cities going to be far behind us. This this Delta Variant is a lot more infectious. And i think its going to hit everybody. Hmm. All right. Mayor steve adler, thank you for joining us. Pamela, thank you. Well, masking is, also, an important question for schools around the country. They will reopen, while the coronavirus is, still, very much, with us. Especially, the aggressiveDelta Variant. So far, five states are mandating masks for all kthrough12 students when classes resume. Additionally, publicschool districts in some major cities are issuing their own mandates. Some, like atlanta, in opposition to their republican governors. Joining me, now, with more and dr. Edith sanchez, she is a Pediatrician And Assistant professor of pediatrics at Columbia University irving medical center. Welcome to the show, doctor. Its great to be with you, pamela. So the American Academy Of Pediatrics is now recommending that all students, over 2 years old, along with staff, Wear Masks, regardless of whether they are vaccinated. And regardless of whether theyre mandated. Do you agree . I, 100 , agree, pamela. I know that this has created some confusion because the cdc is not really going this far. But we have to remember, the cdc made a recommendation, based on the latest data about the v vaccines and how well they work. And they left it open for schools to recommend masking. The American Academy Of Pediatrics, i believe, is stepping in and filling in that gap. And saying to make this practical, to make this, actually, enforceable, we are going to recommend that everyone in schools goes ahead and wears a mask. And that is truly the best way to stop this virus from spreading in schools. And to get kids back in school, safely. And the cdc does say that kids over 2, right, should wear a mask if they are indoors. Earlierthis month, the cdc issued Newschool Guidance saying Inperson Learning is critical, this year. But only recommending masks for students who havent been fully vaccinated. During Cnns Town Hall meeting with President Biden, last week, he hinted that was going to change. Why do you think it hasnt changed, yet, with School Opening Right around the corner for many students in this country . I think theres so many factors that go into making this decision. To make an official recommendations, pamela. I do believe, however, that, at this point, we have so much data and so much science to tell us that if we add masks to proper ventilation to spacing of students and to actual, you know, testing and taking precautions in the community. We can do this, safely. So, i really do believe masks are one more step iand a really effective one. We know this, at this point, pamela. And it makes so much sense. The American Academy Of Pediatrics says nearly24,000 cases of covid among children were reported in the week between July 8 and 15. Thats more than 15 of total cases that week. Just tell us, how concerning are those numbers . And how is the Delta Variant impacting children who who arent vaccinated . Yeah, it is extremely concerning, pamela. The unfortunate thing about the Delta Variant is that its spreading faster. And we know so many people have said it in the past couple of weeks, this is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated. That unvaccinated group includes all children who, still, dont qualify for a vaccine. And about half of kids, who do because we have to remember that, according to the latest numbers that we have, kids who are 12 and up and qualify for this vaccine, about half of them are not getting it, pamela. So, it is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated. We are still learning how the Delta Variant affects children. But we know is it more transmissible. It is more infectious. And by nature of being more transmissible, its going to get the people who arent vaccinated and that includes children. And that concerns i mean, that concerns me, as a parent of two young kids who are helpless. 1 and 3 years old. Cant get vaccinated. You know, we say it is a pandemic of the unvaccinated but even if you are vaccinated, you worry in this environment. What if you pick it up from someone unvaccinated . Transmit it to your child . With the Delta Variant and everything going on, so many kids unvaccinated, as you pointed out, are schools a safe environment even if people are wearing masks . I do believe they can be, pamela. I dont think we get to say schools are safe. Everyone, back to school, and forget about this. I think we have to be really cautious here. I believe schools need to reopen. Kids need to be in school, inperson. I have to tell you, ive seen so many children fall behind. Ive seen rates of mentalhealth conditions go up. Food insecurity. So, it is really concerning for kids to not be able to get back to school. We have to do absolutely everything that we can. And we know that it can be done, safely. But that includes everyone, who can get vaccinated, actually going ahead and getting vaccinated. And that includes the proper ventilation, the spacing that we talked about, and all of those measures that, at this point, should be so familiar to schools. All right. Thank you so much, doctor. We appreciate it. Thank you. And Tomorrow Night, primarycare doctor joins us to take your questions. Tweet or instagram to me, at Pamela Brown cnn. And still to come. Nfl Chief Medical Officer, dr.

Thanks so much, Will Ripley. Appreciate you bringing us the latest there from tokyo. Moments ago, First Lady Jill Biden arrived back in the u. S. Having led The American delegation to the olympics. Cnns Kate Bennet has more on her trip to tokyo. Reporter Jill Biden is not the first First Lady to lead The American delegation to the olympics but she is the first to do so in the era of covid19. Speaking, virtually, to a group of Team Usa athletes at the u. S. Embassy in tokyo, friday, biden acknowledged the challenges. Becoming an olympian is a rare accomplishment, in a normal time. But you did it, during a global pandemic. Reporter it is, also, not normal for a First Lady to be alone in the stands, as biden was saturday taking in a womens basketball game, swimming, and part of the Womens Soccer Game against new zealand. Cases of covid are spiking in the Host Country of japan. Tokyo is in a state of emergency. But biden was not deterred from her firstinternational Solo Trip as First Lady. Even as reports of athletes falling ill became more widespread. The president and the First Lady felt it was important to have the delegation led, at the highest level. So, she is looking forward to continuing her travel. Reporter at opening ceremonies, biden, one of fewer than 100 vip attendees, but her Olympic Spirit not dimmed. On saturday, at a Watch Party at the embassy, biden changed into a headtotoe Team Usa wardrobe. I feel like a new i mean, a kid on the first day of school. You know, how you got all you have all your new clothes . But you didnt wash them. So, like, these jeans are so stiff. So, note to self. Reporter biden also did double duty. Squeezing in several diplomatic events during her two and a half days in tokyo. Telling embassy staff, she knows what theyre up against. This job can be challenging, in the best of times. And in the past few years, weve seen how fragile diplomacy can be. Reporter building relationships.

The japanese prime minister, who as i invited as the first person to come to the white House Head of state, he made it real clear. He didnt want me. He wanted her to go. He is a man of incredible judgment. Reporter but the First Ladys main mission was to be there to support americas athletes, at a time when their own friends and families could not be. Biden doing it, instead. In these moments, we are more than our cities or states or backgrounds. We are more than our jobs or our political parties. We are united. We are, first and foremost, Team Usa. Thanks to our Kate Bennet. A testament to how quickly things can change with coronavirus and an unvaccinated population. The biden administration went from declaring independence, on July 4th t, to a very different tone just a few weeks later.

Its triggered a more urgent tone from the White House and a warning from the cdc director. We, together, are not out of the woods, yet. And you will want to make thoughtful decisions to protect your health, and the health of your family and your community. We are, yet, at another pivotal moment in this pandemic. David swerdlick is a cnn political Commentator And Assistant editor at the Washington Post. David, given where we are now, just in the last few weeks, do you think the White House was premature in sort of celebrating and saying, on July 4th, that america was nearly independent from covid19 . Hi, pamela. Yeah, i do think they were a little bit. If you go back to the marchapril timeframe, the administration got the covid Relief Package off the ground. They were rolling out the vaccines, in a very efficient way. And president President Biden gave that speech where he said, hey, lets aim for getting back to sort of seminormal by July 4th. Then, came may with the Cdc Guidance that that rolled back maskwearing Guidance And Maskwearing requirements. And i do think that was a little bit premature. Now, we see Case Counts going up. And in the interim, i think the administration has gotten a little sidetracked into different issues. They have a big agenda. But ultimately, they probably realize, now, that their fate in the 2022 midterms and looking way ahead to the 2024 president ial is all about getting checks in hands, and shots in arms. And they have gotten away from that, a little bit, in the last several weeks. And the Case Counts going up is, certainly, not helping their messaging. And they are going to have to really stay on this. Right. I mean, and they have been pressed, the cdc has been pressed as well, from my Colleague Kaitlan collins, about discussions to upgrade or update the Mask Guidance for vaccinated people, indoors. Given whats going on. Jen psaki, the white House Press Secr secretary didnt answer questions from reporters about how many people in the White House are vaccinated. How many breakthrough cases there are. What do you make of that, for an administration that has touted transparency, from Day One . Yeah, so im not a doctor or anything. But, you know, there is a theres a view that says follow the science, and i think you do have to follow the science, in this situation. But the politicians, especially up to President Biden, have to also keep the public on guard about the potential for a relapse back to these risingCase Counts and back to a situation where, just a few weeks ago, everyone was looking forward to smooth sailing this summer. School reopening. People are starting to go back to their physicalwork spaces. And now, i think thats still on pace but now, its going to take more of everyone in the country rowing, together. And if the white House Cant find a way to get that message across. And to get the Vaccine Skeptics, especially in red states, to start, you know, looking at, maybe, hey, maybe, i should get this vaccine even if im not completely comfortable with it. They are going to have, both, a Publichealth Problem and a futurepolitical problem. And there is always the open question, how much can the white House Messaging even get to those Vaccine Skeptics . But we know that conservatives, leaders in the in the conservative, you know, republicans, politicians. They they really can. They can reach out to these people. And we saw a sudden aboutface by conservative leaders and hosts who are, suddenly, embracing vaccines. Ive been vaccinated. Many of my colleagues have been vaccinated. And the vaccine is safe, effective, and its widely available all across the united states of america, for anybody who wants to get it. Please, take covid seriously. I cant say it enough. Enough people have died. We dont need any more deaths. Research, like crazy. Talk to your doctor. I believe in science. I believe in the science of vaccination. If Theres Anybody out there willing to listen, get vaccinated. These shots need to get into everybodys arm, as rapidly as possible, or were going to be back in a situation, in the fall, that we dont yearn for. That we went through last year. So, what do you think about that some and we should note that sean hannity, then, after he said that, went on a Radio Show and said he wasnt telling people they should get vaccinated. Kind of backtracked on what he was saying there but what is your reaction to more prominent conservatives speaking out about this in favor of the vaccine . Pamela, i think there is a couple of things going on. First of all, now that we are seeing these Case Counts rise, republicans, broadly speaking, and republican commentators, broadly speaking, will look bad if their covid skepticism and their Vaccine Skepticism turns out to have been the wrong advice that they were giving to their constituencies and their audiences. People will, eventually, catch on, i assume. That theyve been given bunk information. I think the other thing that that startled people, this week, was that 700point drop in the dow, on monday. I havent done any reporting on this but i would not be shocked, pamela, if republicans on the hill, if republicannetwork executives, got calls from people on Wall Street and elsewhere in the Business Community saying, hey. If we want to reopen, if you want to see the Stock Market keep going along, chugging along, then weve got to get some Vaccine Compliance and weve got to tighten it up with protocols around the country because you you cant have the Economy Bounce back, again and again from these shocks. From people having to mask up. Stay home. Et cetera. Because because not enough people are vaccinated to tamp down the pandemic. Gosh, you know, you would just hope that the Driving Force would be, hey, its important to spread, you know, information that could save peoples lives. Not, hey, you know, just the economy. We really need your help. But it is, certainly, an open question, as to what we were weve seen Play Out, this past week in the conservative base there. David swerdlick, thank you so much. Thanks, pamela. And up next, Brandnew Video into cnn. Two people trapped on a truck, as floodwaters swirled around them. The dramatic rescue, coming up.

The Climate Crisis will cause more deadly, extreme weather but they are surprised that Heat And Rain records are being broken by such large margins right now. Michael mann is the professor of Atmospheric Science at penn state university. He also wrote the new climate war, the fight to take back our planet. Professor mann says the Climate Change models we are using are outdated and in his words underestimate the magnitude of the impact of Climate Change on Tr Extremeweather events. Professor mann joins me, now. Thank you for being here with us. Whats wrong with the currentClimate Models . Yeah, thanks, pamela, its good to be with you. The Climate Models are actually great. I mean, they really do an excellent Job Capturing many of the features in the dynamics averse Climate System and they have come a long way over the past several decades. They have actually predicted the warming of the planet extremely well. But some of the impacts of Climate Change do depend on details and processes that are, often, fairly difficult to resolve in these models. Thats true when it comes to the impact of Climate Change on extremeweather events. They capture the fact that a warmer planet is going to have more intense and more frequent Heat Waves. And thats going to dry out soil. So you get worse drought. And you combine that those Heat Waves with that drought. You get the sorts of Epic Wildfires that we are seeing break out. But at the same time, a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture so when it does rain, you get more of those extremeFlooding Events. The models capture all of that. What they dont capture very well is the way that Climate Change is actually changing the behavior of our jet stream. And it is slowing it down and causing some of those Weather Systems to grow, in magnitude, and become locked in place. So you get those deep highpressure centers over the western u. S. That gives us that unprecedented Heat And Drought and wildfires. Or a big Low Pressure that gets stuck over the east and we get some of those Flooding Events that we have seen recently. The models dont quite capture how Climate Change is increasing those sorts of conditions. And so, the models are providing an underestimate of of the profound impact that Climate Change is, already, having on these extremeweather events. And is that why climate scientists are provided that Heat And Rain records are broken by such large margins . What are we supposed to make of that . Yeah, i mean, sometimes we become a little too enamored with our models and we think they describe the real world but they dont capture all of the, you know, complexities of of the real world. And so, Climate Modelers have been surprised by just the this you know, this endless procession of extremeHeat Waves and droughts and wildfires and floods that weve seen, in recent summers, because the models didnt quite predict that we would see this much, this soon. Part of the you know, the challenge here, of course, is to run these Climate Models at higher resolutions. Where we start to capture some of those features that are missing. And Climate Modelers are working on that. And we need, of course, the resources to do that. Of course, but i mean, we are sitting here talking about this endless procession of weather events tied to Climate Change. And there are, still, so many people who are climatechange deniers. What is your message to them . Yeah. Well, you know, look. Um, the impacts of Climate Change are no longer subtle. We are seeing them, now, Play Out in our daily weather. So we are beyond the point where there is even any question, not just about whether Climate Change is real and human caused. But theres really no question, that it is leading to profound impacts on us, now. There is a little bit of good news. The Climate Models do tell us that, if we do bring those globalcarbon emissions down, dramatically, over the next decade, which we can do with the right policies that decarbonize our economy, move us towards renewable energy, we can prevent the worst impacts from taking place but we have to act now. All right. Professor michael mann, thank you for joining us.
