Im Pamela Brown in for jake tapper. And we start today with our health lead. And while there are encouraging signs that more americans are getting vaccinated against coronavirus, there is also worrying new data out today showing how great the threat still is. The highly contagious Delta Variant now makes up more than 93 of all new cases in the United States. Thats according to the cdc. The number of americans dying from covid every day is up 42 from just last week. And hospitalizations are three times higher than one month ago. And we know vaccines are the best way to stop the spread. But combating misinformation about the vaccines is still one of the greatest challenges for Health Officials. And the new poll out today shows that among unvaccinated americans, 53 think getting the shot is a bigger risk to their health than catching covid, 53 . Adding to the confusion, the contradictory messages coming from the biden administration. As cnns Kristen Holmes reports from Vaccine Mandates to masking, the nations top doctors are having a tough time staying on the same page. Reporter as the Delta Variant rages across the country, americans are struggling to understand how to best protect themselves and others. He misspoke. Reporter the top Health Officials in the biden administration only adding to the confusion with a series of contradictory messages. From masks to mandates. The communication about who should wear a mask causing whiplash. You have the opportunity to make the personal choice to add extra layers of protection if you so choose. Reporter just days after the head of the centers for Disease Control and prevention said masks for the fully vaccinated were an individual choice, a complete 180. In areas with substantial and high transmission, cdc recommends fully vaccinated people wear masks in public indoor settings to help prevent the spread of the Delta Variant and protect others. Reporter walensky said data was the reason for the shift, causing speculation and confusion. This week a comment by the head of the National Institutes Of Health left parents scratching their heads. And At Home parents of unvaccinated kids should be thoughtful about this, and the recommendation is to wear masks there as well. I know thats uncomfortable. I know it seems weird. But it is the best way to protect your kids. Reporter dr. Collins tweeting a correction but ultimately dr. Fauci had to play cleanup. Parents do not need to wear masks in their own home. That is the right answer. Dr. Collins said he misspoke. And i give him great credit for admitting it very, very quickly of saying that he misspoke. Reporter messaging over a Vaccine Mandate, no clearer. Just a day after the white House Covid19 Response coordinator told cnn the administration was not considering a nationwide Vaccine Mandate, the Cdc Director contradicted him. Are you for mandating a vaccine on a federal level . Um, you know, Thats Something that i think the administration is looking into. Reporter remarks later backtracked in a tweet reading, to clarify, there will be no nationwide mandate. I was referring to mandates by private institutions and portions of the federal government. There will be no federal mandate. And while Booster Shots appear to be off the table, just last week people do not need to go out and get a booster shot. Right now they are certain that no americans need boosters. Reporter its unclear for how long. I think its very possible that were going to require boosters, and its possible were going to know that fairly soon. Reporter and a senior Administration Official tells me that this is the result of evolving science, that the Delta Variant is part of the reason youre seeing these changes and this might seem like a back and forth. And one thing i want to note that is incredibly important is there is one thing that all Health Officials have remained consistent on even though there is some confusion, and that is get the vaccine. Americans need the vaccine, it is the best way to protect yourself and to protect others, pamela. And that was the big mention we heard from President Biden yesterday all right, kristen, thank you so much. And joining me now to discuss is michael osterholm. Great to see you, michael. We just heard there kristen detail some of the really confusing messages coming from top officials in the biden administration. What kind of impact does that have on public confidence . Well, it is a challenge, and particularly when in fact the media then accentuates it by saying this person versus that person versus that person, it only make its more confusing. I think the challenge we have right now as it was noted is were in a stage of what i call corrected science, meaning that were learning about a lot of things as we go and we dont have the luxury of going and publish them or putting together advisory groups then coming out months later with a recommendation. Youre getting it pretty much as it happens. So i think this is going to always be a challenge, but weve got to do a much better job of trying to coordinate these messages. A good example is were going to need a booster . Were waiting to see what happens as we get more and more people who are vaccinated, six, eight, nine months out from their vaccine. And only then will we know if we need a booster. So we should just expect that were going to continue to see corrected science occurring. And adding to that confusion, other countries are giving Booster Shots. And even in the u. S. Hospitals on their own are starting to do that. All of that also adds to this confusing picture in this evolving pandemic. And theres also confusion when it comes to protecting kids, especially with some states banning Mask Mandates in schools. So, Bottom Line here, michael, what do parents need to know right now about keeping their kids as protected as possible from this virus . We just s have to tell parents the truth, even if its not easy, even if we dont have all the answers. For example, we do know that children do transmit the virus to each other. We know they can get infected and we know that children can transmit the virus At Home. We dont have a perfect way to protect them. You are absolutely right. Right now the vaccines, as you know, are only approved for those 12 years of age and older. Theyre coming, but its still a long ways off. Second is the fact that when we try to talk about protecting children with masks, we know that the kind of Face Cloth coverings that kids wear may have some benefit, but its surely not the same level of benefit wed like them to have as if you were an adult and wearing an n95 mask. So the bottom Line Message is that when schools open in a few weeks, were going to expect to see some challenges and were going to see transmission. And we just have to acknowledge that. The good news if there is any good news and its only, i think, a hint of good news, is that kids dont get nearly as sick as often as do adults or their older sibs. And thats the one thing we can count on right now. Just to be clear when it comes to the Delta Variant, even though were seeing more cases among kids, we still dont know if its any more dangerous toward kids, right . We just dont have that data. Right. The reason were seeing so many new cases in kids right now appears to be just that the virus is transmitting that much more. So instead of A Hundred kids being sick in a school, district, or in a neighborhood area, its 500 kids. And now of those, the same proportion may be going to the hospital more severely ill. At this point we cant say its anything other than that. But its very possible we may find that in fact twice as many kids are seriously ill as We Saw before. But those data right now are just not forthcoming. And there are still so many kids unvaccinated, and people who are millions of americans who are choosing not to get vaccinated even though theyre eligible. Your new analysis shows that almost every single unvaccinated american who hasnt gotten covid yet is likely to catch it. How soon could that happen . Well, as ive said time and time again for months, this virus is highly infectious. If you decide to try to run the Game Clock out, dont try to do it. This virus will find you, it will infect you eventually. And we just have to give people that sense. Now, if thats not enough to motivate people to get vaccinated, then the only other things i think we have are the mandates that say if youre going to work here or go here, you have to get vaccinated. Its not just us trying to tell you were trying to protect you, but if you are a case and you become infectious, you do two things. One is you pose a risk to others including your own loved ones. And youre also using Hospital Resources right now which in many instances are very, very short and coming, particularly if you look at the southern Sun Belt states. Theyre at a real challenge right now for healthcare resources. We started this conversation, michael, talking about just how quickly this pandemic changes and why messaging has to change so quickly. And that is largely because new variants can come about. Dr. Fauci said a variant worse than delta could be coming. The next variant could be, quote, delta on steroids. What do you mean by that . Well, basically the variants that were concerned about in terms of their increased risk to humans have one of three characteristics or all three. One is theyre more infectious, which we know delta is substantially more infectious even than alpha which that by itself was more infectious. Number two that they can cause more severe illness just related to the question you just asked about does it cause more severe illness for the number of people who are infected. And does it have a way of evading immune protection . Does it somehow get around the vaccines or get around the protection you get from natural infection . And any one of those three characteristics could make another variant worse. And if you add all of them together, it could be worse. We dont have any evidence right now we have one thats worse. But i agree with dr. Fauci that it surely is possible that one that could be more infectious than delta, which would be hard to imagine that being the case, could actually happen, and we have to be prepared for that. Okay. Michael osterholm, thank you so much for thank you. For your Analysis And Perspective on this. And in addition to mixed messages, there is also a bunch of different rules. Cnn went inside one school where kids can decide whether to wear a mask. Brandnew reporting revealing just how close some top trump officials came to quitting. Thats next. Stay with us.

Cnn can now confirm a majority of new York State assembly members say they would vote yes to impeach him if articles of impeachment are introduced. This comes after the States Attorney general released a damning report detailing how the governor sexually harassed 11 women and created a hostile work environment. Lets bring in cnns erica hill. So, erica, the governor says he wont resign. Is this all but certain . He says he will not resign. We have not heard any more from the governor today, he is laying low putting out a Press Release from a covid update. If the governor does not resign there is this impeachment Inquiry Weve heard so much about. Cnn has been reaching out to state lawmakers. And i can tell you that 80 members now, both democrats and republicans, tell cnn they would vote yes to impeach if articles of impeachment were introduced. Now, keep in mind how it works here is the assembly would vote then on those articles of impeachment. There are 150 members of the assembly, 106 of them are democrats. Again, 80 have told cnn they would vote to impeach if the articles were introduced. They would need a majority. That would be 76 members to vote. If that happens then, of course, there would be a trial. That would be in the new York Senate along with the judges from the court of appeals. Listen, there is a lot of discussion about whether the governor, while he is holding strong here and refusing to resign at this point, whether he would really want to go through an Impeachment Process and how much that may be weighing on his decision as we hear more and more calls, pamela, for him to resign. And there are now at least four District Attorneys who have requested materials from the a. G. s office in order to possibly pursue criminal charges. What are you hearing . Thats right. So in the state we know that the District Attorneys in albany, Nassau And Westchester counties as well as here in manhattan, they have all requested information from the State Attorney General to look further and see if there could be any criminal charges. They have cited between them both comments from Trooper Number one and executive Assistant Number one in some of those requests. All right, erica hill, thanks for brirnging us the latest. How close Trump Department officials were resigning amid increasing pressure from then President Trump to investigate the results of the president ial election. This was there was a Resignation Letter Written By who was Chief Of Staff to the then acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen. And, as you pointed out, this is how close things were. It was january 3rd, President Trump had rosen coming over to the White House. And everyone thought that rosen was going to get fired simply because the Justice Department was refusing to say that there was fraud in the Georgia Election or elections in all the investigations into the election. The letter, which was written but never sent, and ill read you just a part of it, says that over the course of the last week, Jeffrey Rosen had repeatedly refused the president s direct instructions to utilize the department of Justice Law Enforcement powers for improper ends. And, again, the anticipation was that rosen was going to be fired. Now, just to set the table here. January 3rd is the day, its a sunday, President Trump had rosen and another official Jeffrey Clark come over to the White House where he had some kind of like something straight out of a reality tv show, something like The Apprentice where these two men essentially vied for the job, and the anticipation was that rosen was fired that a number of other officials were going to resign in protest of this move. So, rosen wasnt fired. He wasnt fired. But it seems as though a lot of officials in the Justice Department expected, and your reporting shows you how high tensions were and how much pushback there was with the Justice Department amidst these coup attempts, frankly, by the president. What these officials were fighting back against. And he was interviewed yesterday by the house oversight committee. We expect that a number of other officials are going to be coming in for interviews in the coming days and well see what more we can learn from what they were experiencing in those extraordinary days.

And we are back with our politics lead. If youre wondering what to expect in next years midterm elections, just take a look at what happened in ohio last night. Starting with the democrats. Voters in the 11th Congressional District handed a victory to the Establishment Candidate Chantel brown by a margin of more than 4,000 votes. Brown was backed by hillary clinton, Jim Clyburn, and the congressional black caucus. She beat progressive candidate Nina Turner, a longtime Bernie Sanders ally who now famously compared voting to eating a bowl of excrement. [ laughter ] it really is interesting seeing how this played out in ohio. We were all watching this because we hear republicans often talk about how democrats are these liberal socialists, right . But then you see browns win in ohio as well as Eric Adams in New York city. President biden, sure doesnt seem like progressives have control of the democratic party. Well, as an ohioan, i think ohio voters are very far from socialism. If you look at the district in Which Brown and turner were running, that was former secretary fudges district. Before that Congressman Stephanie tubbs jones. Very democratic, black women, northeast workingclass folks. Nina turner has had success in the state, but her progressive agenda just didnt seem to resonate with voters. So its not that voters dont support her. But when put up against brown, i think brown just resonated more for that part of cleveland. Do you think its that district or broader . I think its a broader trend. Because in the democratic party you at least have a battle going on about how whos going to control it, and its about ideology. Youve got the sanders wing, Which Turner represented versus the biden wing, shall we say, the moderates, Jim Clyburn very unfluently here. And the moddats have been winning. In the republican party you dont have any battle at all about ideology. Its all about whether you are beholden to the orange God King or not. And which is ideological. And there arent many who are nontrump. Theres a Guy Craig Schneider who just announced in pennsylvania for the Senate Race whos explicitly nontrump. But those candidates are hard to find. The republican who won in ohio. He was endorsed by trump. Trump after Susan Wright who he endorsed last week. They doubled down financially to get this guy through. Yeah, to me theres not really, like its often painted as, oh, theres a fight within the republican party. Not really. Donald trump controls the republican party. Yes, occasionally someone else, this guy who won last week in texas is a State Rep who had a base in the district. There are special situations, but if youre saying, would you rather have Donald Trumps endorsement in a contested republican primary or not . The answers yes. One stat, ballot pedia, say Donald Trump endorsed him in 2020, 21 and 2. Hes got 100 Million hes been able to raise mostly from small donors. But hes not going to be spending that on small candidates. Donald trump controls the republican party, you want his endorsement. But dont fool yourself into thinking that Donald Trump is about anyone else other than Donald Trump. Donald trump didnt want two straight losses is why he spent money on carey. But that thing will motivate him to spend money. On the democratic side you had people, national figures, coming into that district endorsing Nina Turner. You also had a national future coming in to endorse brown. I dont think that played a part. I think that these races are localized efforts. If you look at Eric Adams she had a very nationally focused campaign. But it was the local endorsements i think in the democratic party that go a long way. I think that is what the democrats need to do in 2022. Even though this was seen as a win for the more establishment moderate democrats, progressives also have had a win this week. This Effort Led by Cori Bush on the Eviction Moratorium, now the White House reversed course under pressure, although its legally dubious whether its going to succeed. [ laughter ] but that shows that they still carry a lot of weight. Theres two big takeaways from that episode. First of all, the squad. So Cori Bush, aoc, others have shown how they can marshall that power within Capitol Hill to get policies done immediately as they have this narrow majority in the house and the White House and the senate as well. But at the same time, there will be practical effects from a moderate such as ms. Brown winning last night in ohio because we can have the takeaways in these offyear elections for what they portend next year. Nancy pelosi has a very narrow majority in the house, and if youre nancy pelosi, do you want a Nina Turner as one of the few members of your very thin Majority Or Shantel brown. I think Nina Turner wouldve been a very loud member of the squad do you think it wouldve gone differently this thing about the evictions if the election had been the day before and they had already learned that Shantel Brown was going to defeat Nina Turn . I think the Eviction Moratorium resolve was kind of inside Washington And Kind of the pressure that Congressman Bush and others built on the biden administration. Im not quite sure what the Ohio Results wouldve done with that. But you have these two very interesting sometimes complementary, sometimes conflicting dynamics within the democratic party. But it does weaken the squad and the progressives what happened with Shantel Brown. So, i dont i think what you saw tuesday was relatively representative. Unlike the republican party where there isnt a fight. I actually do think theres a legitimate disagreement between younger more liberal activist democrats and older more establishment democrats. And as We Saw, by the way, with Jim Clyburn and the congressional black caucus, its not white versus black. This is much more about how you approach politics. And jewish voters went for Shantel Brown. Yes, without Cori Bush doing sitin, maybe biden changes, but im not sure he does. And, quite clearly, the moderate candidate won in ohio. So i think if we went back six months or even back a year, yes, Joe Biden beat Bernie Sanders. That was the big one. And were not talking about an old name, john bro, a very moderate to conservative democrat. Thats not Eric Adams. Thats not Shantel Brown. These are people who are pretty liberal. Were talking about gradations. But it was evictions in the middle of a pandemic. Its an issue that actually hits voters hearts. And i think you have to do the right thing because real people who have to vote in 2022 and in 2024 are going to lose their homes if Something Wasnt done. Thats true.

Breaking news in our health lead, Defense Secretary Lloyd austin is expected to make the Coronavirus Vaccine mandatory for all active duty troops. Cnns Barbara Starr is live at the pentagon. How soon could this announcement happen . Reporter well, the indications were getting is the announcement could happen by The End of the week. Not a big surprise, we have to say. Lets explain. Youll recall that last week President Biden ordered the pentagon to take a look at how and when to make the vaccine mandatory for active duty troops. Secretary austin says he wasnt going to let grass grow under his feet, he was going to get after it so hes been talking to the services, talking to the medical experts about a way ahead on how to make the Covid Vaccine mandatory. Not exactly the pentagons first plan. They had hoped to wait until the fda had that full approval for the vaccine. But the president s the president. He wants to move ahead and thats what the pentagon is going to do. Military members have any number of vaccines they are required to get as a term of their military service. The pentagon doesnt think theres going to be widespread opposition to it. Right now theyre running about 60 full Vaccination Rate across the u. S. Military. But theyre going to have to take time to figure out how they want to do this, which will be the first units, which will be the first troops to get the vaccination once the decision is made. Barbara starr, thanks for bringing us the latest from the pentagon. And this week students are back in school in georgia, and the state is a Case Study in what inperson classes may look like nationwide at this stage of the pandemic. Some counties requiring masks, others make them optional. Cnns Nick Valencia has the Debate Dividing one community right outside of atlanta. Reporter dale simpson is the principal at an arts and Sciences Academy in Rural Georgia where this week the School Year started without a Mask Mandate. Good morning, blazers. We could not be more excited to see you this morning. Theres often butterflies on the first day of school, especially these days. But for simpson the feeling is more sense of relief even while the pandemic rages on. Are you putting students at risk by not requiring mask . I think in our School System were really honoring the parents and the students personal decisions. Reporter and to those who say those personal decisions are making others less safe, what do you say . One thing that we are doing as a School System is monitoring the numbers. Reporter outside a dropoff, most parents we spoke to in the county, a conservative community between atlanta and athens werent worried about wearing masks, even with covid cases on the rise in the county, with a sevenday average of more than 20 cases per day. The area is listed on the Cdc Tracker as having a high Community Transmission Rate where masks are recommended for everyone in public indoor settings. But parents like Merriam Robinson told not wearing a mask gives her 14yearold daughter the freedom to express herself. Does that Freedom Of Expression outweigh the concern you have about them getting sick . Im honestly not concerned about them getting sick. After you see hospitalizations go up and the data. We havent seen that very much with children, though. Reporter The American Academy Of Pediatrics reported tuesday almost 72,000 children and teens caught covid19 last week nationwide. They called it a substantial increase from a week earlier. Kennedys Mom Wasnt about to let her daughter take any chances. Have you met anyone around here who thinks this is just a hoax or a phony pandemic . Ive talked to a couple people. What do you tell them . Its real, you need to put your mask on. Inside her daughter told us while she felt safe, she was caught off guard by how few of her classmates were taking the same precautions. I didnt know that many people would not be wearing a mask. Its really different because everybody was wearing masks last time. I think being africanamerican and understanding what the pandemic did to that demographic, kids are well aware that they dont want to take those things home back to their families. Reporter language Arts Teacher not only teaches here, her eighth Grade Son started the year here. For her the decision to wear a mask is case by case. I think other schools need to learn that with the proper precautions, the proper Safety Procedures that it is okay to return back to the classroom and allow your students and their kids to get a quality education. For principal simpson, the hope is students will learn this Year Inperson without getting themselves or anyone else sick, mask or not. This is a complex issue. And what were doing here is were making decisions in the best interest of our kids while honoring parental decisionmaking. Reporter the principal tells us that they have not ruled out in stating a Mask Mandate if covid cases should go up. There is concern about the Delta Variant which is why the school has established an online academy for parents who are uncomfortable sending their kids in person. But as you saw there in the piece, most decided not only to show up in person. They did so without wearing a mask. That was such a fascinating, Illuminating Inside look at that school there in georgia. Thank you.

Its not surprising that hes trying to build something like a regular Prison Camp because the new wave of protests will come up anyway. It can be triggered by his statement. It canning triggered by an economic situation, but it will come. And he understands and he also wants to be prepared. This is why i am not surprised if such camps are being built. Reporter belarusian officials have called the recording about the camps fake news. These images emerged after a weekslong crackdown and dozens of arrests. Inside belarus the Protest Movements been persecuted so hard, it now holds remote Flash Mob demonstrations like these filled by drones. But some of it is finding ways to hit back, cnn has learned. These are Railway Saboteurs apparently in action. They say their operations the details of which we arent disclosing just trigger alarms that stop trains on the tracks, risking Nobodys Safety and causing traffic to slow down, they say. We spoke to one organizer. Translator when our skies are blocked, he says, we should block the land as well. The main goal is to cause economic damage to the regime because all the delays cause them to pay huge fines. This action was carried out by a key route from russia to the european union. Cnn cant independently confirm it was effective. If there is an impact on rail traffic, it could have great significance outside of belarus and here, lithuania because so many goods from the east rely on this network to get to europe. Signs both sides could be adopting new harsher tactics and what may await fresh protests as the screws tighten. Possible opposition sabotage, possible authoritarian government, Prison Camps, its startling just in one year how ugly this unrest has gotten. You saw there how the Protest Movement is being crushed. But there will potentially be an anniversary in august which sees more crowds on the streets and another referendum possibly ahead to real concerns that Prison Camp, as it seems, there may actually be maintained for a reason.

Well, that right there is the crew on the frontier Airlines Flight say trying to hold down a belligerent passenger seen groping and punching a Flight Attendant. Then the crew tried another option, duct tape. At First Frontier suspended the crew suggesting they handle the situation wrong. Cnns Pete Muntean has more. Reporter this Video Shows what Flight Attendants call the ugliest case of an unruly passenger yet. Miamidade police allege that this passenger ordered two drinks, spilled a third on himself, emerged from the bathroom shirtless, then groped the breasts of two Flight Attendants. Police say a third Flight Attendant was assigned to watch barry when he started throwing punches. Video then shows a Flight Attendant taping the passenger to his Seat Prompting frontier to initially suspend its Flight Crew from the job. After an incident like this were going to do a thorough investigation and really review what happened, how it happened. Reporter the airline says it is supporting the crew and the prosecution of barry by law enforcement, an announcement that came after criticism from Sarah Nelson from the association of Flight Attendants. All the crew had on board that flight for any kind of restraint was duct tape. And so if we want Flight Attendants to be using other procedures, then we have to make that possible for them to have other tools and procedures to use. Reporter the tsa is restarting Flight Attendants selfdefense training. Of 3,700 cases reported to the faa this year, so far only 99 have triggered enforcement action. Police have already charged barry with three counts of battery. But Flight Attendants say prosecution of other problem passengers needs to be just as swift. Are you scared .
