Researchers. What they found is that vaccinated immunocompromised People are 485 times can you believe that, more likely that many times to end up in the hospital or to die from covid19 compared to the general population that has gotten the shot. And the Cdcs Vaccine Panel is scheduled to meet today to discuss booster doses. So the amount here. Dr. Fauci says it is inevitable that even healthy People will require Booster Shots soon. Right now the decision is we dont need to do it right now. Its not imminent. But were preparing as if it will be imminent. So were going to be ready to do it when ever the data shows that the protection has gone below a certain level because of combination of the durability of protection and the Special Effect youre seeing with the Delta Variant. Dr. Fauci also says the Delta Variant is putting more children in hospitals at this moment nearly 1800 children are battling kcovid in the hospital. Thats the highest number at any point during this pandemic. So, joining us now is cnn chief medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay gupta. Sanjay, this decision from the fda came overnight the decision to authorization a third shot for the immunocompromised. How significant is this . I think its really significant for that group of People. 9 to 10 Million People that were talking about. Not surprising for all the reasons you just mentioned. I mean, i think theres been increasing evidence of two important things, one is that theyve been measuring Antibody Levels. They see the Antibody Levels have waned, but also that these People were more likely to end up in the hospital, more likely to get severely ill. Its really a combination of those two things. Measuring Antibody Levels alone may not be the thing that everyone is focussing on, but the fact that People are getting sick. Show you who were talking about here. Immunocompromised, this is something that we are going to want to have them define clearly, solid Organ Transplant recipients, they take medications to suppress their Immune System so that their own Immune System does not attack their new transplanted organ, right . So they are clearly on that list. But there are other People on the list as well. People who may recently had chemotherapy, Immuno Suppressants because of auto immune disease. They need to define that clearly but its going to make a big difference in millions of Peoples lives, i think. In fact, i want to introduce you to a patient who has been struggling with this and is probably now going to live a different life after this is officially passed by the cdc. Take a look. 39yearold kimberly got her second dose of the Covid19 Vaccine back in february. She hoped at the time it would be a game changer. I knew there was a possibility that it would not work for me. But given the situation with covid and the pandemic, it was definitely worth the try. She lived her life, hugged her nephews, felt free once again. But then i went to a local clinic near my home and requested an antibodies test. And received the results and i did not mount any antibodies. It wasnt a surprise for kimberly because back in 2018 she had had a Liver Transplant and now takes medications to suppress her Immune System so her new Liver Isnt rejected. Unfortunately, that also means she iscompromisedimmunocompromi. Her Immune System has a much harder time making antibodies after receiving the covid vaccine. We dont have an Immune System to fight off the virus, so its kind of an open game. A study of over 18,000 fully vaccinated Transplant Patients like kimberly found that relative to the general population they were 82 times more likely to develop a post vaccination infection. And 485 times more likely to be hospitalized or die from covid19. I have to be really be cautious about going into crowds and who im around. Every single move i make regarding my life is calculated. In addition to her already high risk, she lives in mths mississippi, one of the least vaccinated states in T Country and one with high transmission of virus as well. A risky mix, one that leaves her with little Community Protection to feel comfortable enough to connect with her young nephews. Its just too risky. With my being transplant patient, they almost lost me once. And i dont want to put myself in a position for them to almost lose me again. Were already seeing Clinical Trial data on solid Organ Transplant patients a third dose may boost their immunity. This is what the doctor is talking about. Look at this graph. In Transplant Recipients who received the standard two doses, they developed some antibodies. But after a third shot, look what happened. The Antibody Levels went way up. And this is why the fda is now authorizing a third shot for the roughly 9 Million immunocompromised patients in the country. At that time only certain immune compromised individuals may need an additional dose. But, none of this necessarily means that another shot will be recommended for everyone else. What are you looking for as some maybe early clues that we would need that Booster Shot . I want to know whats happening to these patients clinically . Are they getting Breakthrough Infections . And are those Breakthrough Infections clinically significant, meaning are they severe enough to land them in the hospital . For now the vaccines continue to protect most of us very well against severe illness. As for kimberly, though, her own doctors have already signed off on her getting that third shot. And when she can. That will be the first thing i do is go see my nephews and sneak that one more hug in. I mean, that is what matters right there. Sanjay, i wonder what happens next for People like kim. Well, you know, the cdc is now going to officially recommend this. The fda authorizes this third shot. The cdc recommendations it and part of it theyre going to define again who is considered immunocompromised. I think its clear kimberly considered this because she had this Organ Transplant. But thats going to be important and theyre also going to need to define specifics like right now we think 28 days at least after your second shot could you be eligible for this third shot. So specifics like that are whats going to happen. But you already heard kimberly has gotten the okay from her doctor, so hes going to be in line pretty quickly to do this. I do want to point out again what is so interesting is that immunity is made up of so many different things. We talked about this on Yur Program so many different times. Antibodies, yes, we measure those. Theyre easy to measure. But there may be other things that the vaccines do in terms of providing immunity, and unless People are getting severe illness after vaccination, its not clear when and if those third shots will be recommended for everyone else. Well see. Well see. But for right now, its just the immunocompromised. Sanjay, if you can stand by for us because we have a bunch more questions for you coming from our viewers. Were going to be asking those of you here later. Okay. In the meantime, a Tennessee E. R. Doctor is making an impassioned plea on facebook. He writes this past week has been one of the most exhausting and disheartening of my career. Six weeks ago there were 200 covid patients in hospitals in tennessee. Today there are 2,000, 1000 increase in six weeks. Theres been a lot of talk about personal freedoms and mandates and government overreach and such and some day when the sun is shining again we can sit down and have some interesting conversations about all that. I might even agree with you on some of those points, but i cant do that today. Not today because there are no beds. Tom forman is joining us now with the latest numbers. And theyre alarming, tom. They are, brianna. All across this country and Intensive Care Units this draw 345 is playing out. This is the load on Icu Bed Utilization by state in general. Of course red is bad. An awful lot of load out there. But specifically look at the Covid Beds where its above 25 . You can see some of these places are absolutely being hammered by this additional load particularly if you look at the South Down here where 25 and above, well, we know some of these are way over 25 in terms of their covid load. But look at that area down there. And if you want to know how much above it is, just look at the raw numbers. Florida, 587 beds left. Alabama, 90. Louisiana 195. Mississippi 0. Arkansas 8. Oklahoma, texas and bear in mind if you can find a bed open, if you get sick in miami because you didnt get vaccinated because thats who is getting sick mainly and you need to go to the Hospital F you get sick in miami and you have to go to say Jacksonville Or Tallahassee that is a haul to make, a very difficult haul to make, same thing. Mobile to birmingham, if youre down in galveston and have to go to amarillo, the distance also matsers. Not just the beds are there. Theyre not everywhere, theyre where they are, you have to find them and you have to get to one. And i want you to look very specifically at these numbers. Florida the number there, mississippi the number there and text texas the number there, collectively, some 900 beds in three different states there. And yet, listen, 900 beds in three different states where youre talking about somewhere north of 50 Million People. 900 beds, 50 Million People and yet this is what their governors have been saying. You can either have a free society or we can have a bio medical Security State and i can tell you, florida were a free state. Ron desantis down in florida. Greg abbott in texas, it relies on personal responsibility not government mandates. Tate reeves in mississippi, there will be no lockdowns and there will be no statewide mandates. This has been their position. Yes, they say you should get vaccinated but they want to take no steps to make People wear masks, no steps to say People should have to be vaccinated or show that they are vaccinated. All in the name of freedom. Im telling you, brianna, if youre riding around a state trying to find a bed for someone gasping in the seat next to you, i dont think you feel very free. No. Look, its like that Tennessee Doctor said, he would love to discuss all these things. Sure. But not now, not today not when he doesnt have any icu beds because thats the reality. You cant argue with the fireman when your kitchen is on fire. Thats right. Tom, thank you so much for that. So major news developing at a Breakneck Pace in afghanistan. The taliban has taken control of the second largest city in thaT Country, kandahar. 14, 14 provincial capitals have now fallen really quickly. Were talking in the last several days as the taliban sweeps across the country. The u. S. Now rushing 3,000 troops to afghanistan to help evacuate embassy staff. President biden says he is not second guessing the decision to withdraw all u. S. Forces by The End of the month. Cnns Kylie Atwood live at the State Department this morning where kylie, All Of A Sudden serious concern about u. S. Embassy personnel and the need to get all americans out fast. Yeah, thats right. And as were watching this unfold, these incremental developments really make you think about the fact that what is happening right now threatens to permanently stain President Bidens Foreign Policy legacy. Now we should note, john, he has always said he would pull u. S. Troops out of afghanistan. But the way in which this is going down is alarming. As you see these taliban gains across the country, as Peace Talks with the taliban are going nowhere, as the human Rights Situation is frankly very alarming given that there are women and children being left in areas that are taken by the taliban. And now there are these potential threats to u. S. Personnel on the ground. Now, of course, the State Department, the administration is doing all they can to assure that any of these u. S. Personnel get out of the country safely. They are preparing to take some of them out now. Potentially take some of them out later. They are saying that some of that diplomatic core is remaining on the ground but President Biden has repeatedly said that u. S. Troops are leaving the Country But America is not leaving the country. That promise is now in jeopardy as were watching what is unfolding. Now, as administration officials are watching this, they acknowledge that it is not going down exactly how they thought it would, but they dont think that there are grand political implications for the president here because the american People largely are supportive of getting troops home from afghanistan. Theyve been there for 20 years. The other Ning Administration officials are focussed on is china. That of course really to most folks has nothing to do with afghanistan, but as you look at the Foreign Policy challenges, the biden administration Views Competition with china as the primary Foreign Policy challenge, as theyre focus now. They want to shift resources towards that and that may come at the exspence of shifting resources away from afghanistan. I want to point out that Secretary Of State Tony Blinken gave a speech this week and spoke about the need to invest in Infrastructure And Innovation here in the u. S. To compete with china in that same speech, he didnt mention afghanistan once. Even as we are watching what is unfolding there. So they are essentially saying, you know, look towards china. Look away from afghanistan. But we cant do that right now because of what is unfolding on the ground because of the human rights implications, because of this very, very quickly deteriorating situation. John . The fact that they have Send Thousands of troops in to help get People out, that indicates it is not going down the way they planned. Kylie atwood, thank you so much for your reporting. Please keep us posted. As part of its draw down of the troops in afghanistan, they began evacuating more interpreters who aided the military in their operations, but there are still thousands of afghan interpreters and Support Staff and families left behind and theyre now facing persecution and maybe even death from the taliban. Im joined now by someone who is dealing with this right now, an afghan interpreter who immigrated from afghanistan, joined the army and has served in the army as well and is now trying to get his Family Out of afghanistan. Thank you so much for joining us. I know youre sick and sleepless with worry. You have not been able to get your Family Out. What is the status of them . Well, as you know, the situation is getting worse on the ground and the taliban is making a lot of progress there. So, especially with my family, they just get worried and worried like every time and they keep calling me every hour of the day and night. And they just want to know about their fate, how theyre going to get out of afghanistan or are they going to become the next target for the taliban. So so far i have not heard any positive feedback from the u. S. Government as far as pulling my families out of afghanistan and bringing them into Safe Haven and the United States. So theyre in a holding pattern. Theyre in kabul. We had you on a couple weeks ago and you talked about the treacherous journey they took through taliban Check Points where they had to use their wits in order to move in to kabul. You are a u. S. Citizen. You are a u. S. Veteran. What does that say if you are having problems getting your Family Out, what does that say about all the other afghan interpreters and Support Staff and their families . Very difficult situation for them as well, too. As i have mentioned before when my parents, my siblings were coming from southeast, making their way all the way to kabul, they had to use a lot of different excuses. My mother had to buy a lot of medications. She had to have a lot of prescriptions. And she was stopped by the taliban at Check Points coming to kabul and she had to explain that shes seeking medical treatment in kabul and thats how my family were allowed to go. But even for myself, i served this country as an interpreter for 17 years and i came back and i joined the u. S. Military, served this country as u. S. Military soldier and deployed back to afghanistan. It is a difficult situation for myself. Again, if i put myself in the shoes of the other interpreters who do not have any u. S. Contact or local interpreters in afghanistan, their life is much danger as my Family Life is. And they have no way to get out of the country. Said, are you surprised by how quickly these provincial capitals have fallen and that kabul is now under threat so soon . Im very, very surprised. Thats something that never came to my mind. It never crossed my mind by having 300,000 afghan forces in afghanistan, so that taliban making the gains and taliban taking over the district centers and taking over the provincial capitals. The afghan government had the strongest forces there and the taliban was able to take over. And it is half of the country. Im very concerned about the situation there. And im sure the taliban pretty soon theyre going to make their way into kabul and it will be chaos and this country will turn into civil war. Yeah. Its a bad outlook at this point in time. Said, were thinking of you. Were thinking of your family. Were going to keep checking in with you to see if they can get out as it seems they are supposed to be able to do under what this administration has promised. Said noor, thank you so much. Thank you for having me. In arkansas, a Couple Pleading with americans to get vaccinated after their infant got Covid And Wound up hospitalized and on oxygen.

Dr. Sanjay gupta back with us now to answer some of your questions about the Delta Variant and also this news about third doses and boosters for the immuno suppressed. Sanjay, first, this is something coming from amy from california. She says, i heard pfizer is only 42 effective against Delta Variant versus modernas 76 . Shes referencing a study that i think at this point is not peer reviewed but she said if any first shot was pfizer, should i get the moderna for my second . Okay. Well, theres sort of two questions in there. Let me show you some of the data from that study thats made a lot of news but as you point out, as an early study has not been peer reviewed here. This is what i think shes referring to that basically said in january what was the level of effectiveness against any kind of infection, even an infection without symptoms and what was it in july. You can see Theres Dropoff there according to this study. But again, well see if this sort of holds up in larger Data Sets and larger numbers of People, but let me show you Something Else that was in that study that got less attention but i think was more important. That really has to do with what were talking about for some time now, the impact on hospitalizations and deaths. Look, guys, 100 protection from deaths from these vaccines. I know sometimes we gloss over that but that is obviously a very significant number and obviously a very high protection against hospitalizations as well. That will be the most critical thing going forward in terms of potential third shots for People. If you start to see a decrease in those numbers overall, severe Illness Protection starting to go down, thats when we might start thinking about the third shots for the general population. As far as Mixing And Matching goes, which i think was the other part of her question, right now the official line is if you got pfizer, you should get another pfizer. If you got moderna, get another moderna, but thats probably likely to change as well, theyre finding not only is it okay to get shots from other manufacturers it might beneficial because you may stimulate other parts of the Immune System and that may offer more protection. Well see on that as well. But i think that hospitalizations and death is the critical number there. What about Johnson Johnson . I got the Johnson Johnson vaccine but im concerned about delta. Should i get a booster . What do we know at this point about J J, whether People should get a second shot of that or Moderna Or Pfizer or what about the immunocompromised who might have had a J J shot . Yeah. These are the important questions. I think as far as the immunocompromised who had a J And J shot, we hope to hear about that today from the cdc. Its likely theyre going to be recommended another shot as well. I think what is interesting though again is when they talk about J J a lot of People said, look, thats an inferior shot, i need to get another shot. We got to look at the data again on this and i want to point out two things as we show you some of the data from how J J has sort of performed over the past several months. This is a busy slide i realize. On the left is placebo. You get no antibodies. On the right is basically looking at all the variants that weve had and how J J stacked up 30 days after the first shot and then again eight months after the first shot. If youre looking at antibodies alone, not only do they hold up, its interesting if you look at delta specifically you actually have a higher number of neutralizing antibodies eight months out. So to the extent antibodies are a good measure of immunity, J J does hold up pretty well. The key will be the same thing were talking about. Do we start to see People who are healthy, vaccinated with J J, start to develop severe illness, hospitalizations or deaths . Were not seeing that yet, but thats going to be an important trigger. We know that in san francisco, for example, they recommended another shot for those who have had J J because again overall they have some concern about the effectiveness of this, but were going to look at hospitalizations and deaths to make the determination i think thats what the cdc is saying in terms of what will be recommended for healthy People who received a J J across the country. Dr. Sanjay gupta, thank you for answering these questions. You got it. Thank you. A desperate plea from an Arkansas Family with an infant currently hospitalized with covid. That plea is to everybody, go get the vaccine. Last week when 1yearold carter displayed coldlike symptoms his parents got him checked out and he tested negative for covid. A few days later the symptoms worsen and when he was taken to the hospital again he tested positive. He has covid. He had to be hospitalized and was put on oxygen. Carters father and carters Big Sister join me now. Kyle and caden. Thank you both so much for being with us. Kyle, its the hardest thing in the world when you have a child thats sick and i cant imagine to have a child in the hospital and not be able to go visit him which is your situation right now but just tell us how carter is doing. Thanks for having us, john. It really helps deliver the message. We appreciate everything that everyone has done for us in trying to get the message out. As far as what its like, we cant be there. I mean, its just one thing to have a child with an illness and to be there and help, but just due to the hospital regulations with their visitor restrictions, i mean, i cant even go in. I dont blame the Hospital For that. Theyre just trying to protect their employees as well, that their employees have families. So i dont blame them for that, but its terrible. You cant even communicate with the People that are trying to help. You know, i just cant imagine it. I know your wife is there. And i know carter is young, but im sure that he feels your presence there with him as well. Not that it makes it any easier on you. Just give us a sense of how carter is doing. Its been really touch and go. The past 24 hours have been better. Hes still on oxygen. And his doctors are still treating the buildup in his lungs, trying to get that out with breathing treatments. And thats moving along. The good thing for him now is that hes kept his fever down for the past 24 hours. So thats a good sign. Really whats hurting him the most at this point, think, outside the oxygen is the exhaustion. You know, its so difficult for anyone really when you Cant Sleep but especially someone that doesnt understand the gravity of the situation and a baby is used to sleeping. He sleeps here, we dont bother him. But every Hour Somebody is checking on him, rightfully so, but its difficult for a baby to understand that thats there to help. We were putting some pictures up on the screen of carter so People could see that face and just how adorable he is. Caden, tell me a little bit about your brother. I understand thats a picture for you. I understand he sleeps like a wrestler. Yes. Most of the time hes happy, doesnt cry very much. He always wants to play. He likes going on walks. Hes very energetic. So, to see him very exhausted hurts me a lot. Lets get him home with you so that you guys can wrestle again. Kyle, i think this is the important thing. Whats your message to People out there . What do People need to do to make sure that kids like Carter Arent getting sick . You know, ive heard from many, many friends, coworkers, People reaching out after they saw this story, asking what they can do to help, and my message to that or to anyone going through this or to prevent anyone from going through this, that is an awesome gesture its a very nice gesture, but the gravity of the situation is Theres Nothing you can do to help me. I cant go to the hospital. I cant even help him. Theres nothing you can do to help the family members. Theres nothing you can do. The only thing you can do to prevent someone else from doing this so to get your vaccine so that another child doesnt have to do this. And another family doesnt have to send their kid away. Kyle so another father doesnt have to stand at the back of an Ambulance And Wonder if thats the last time youre going to see your son. Because you cant go with them. Thats how you can help me. I hate to be so blunt about it, but Theres Nothing you can do to help me. The only thing you can do to help me is help the next person. I hope People are listening to you, kyle. I hope People are listening to you. I think its such an important message. And i know theres no 1yearold who needs to go through that ever. Ever. Kyle, were with you. Were sending you all the Love In The World that we can. And were doing our part to get your message out. Go get vaccinated. Help kids like carter be at home with their families where they should be. Kyle, caden, send you all the Love In The World and we hope carter is home real soon. Thank you. We appreciate it. I think there are a lot of People watching that who are having as hard a time as i am honestly keeping it together. Its just so hard to hear him say that, Theres Nothing you can do for him, its what can you do for future families, maybe even your own family. Everyday were Hearing Stories like that. Its hard not to jump out of your skin when you hear a father like that who cant be with his baby pleading with People to go get vaccinated because its the only thing thats going to keep this from happening to another family. I think, look, we talked about children. Theyre in general less at risk. But there are still a lot of them who are. There are many in the hospital right now just like carter whether they are babies or theyre toddlers or theyre teenagers. And this is hitting them hard. Its an unacceptable number. I dont think anyone wants to play the odds on your kid being one of those thats in the hospital. This was a choice that many americans have made.

Call one eight hundred, Eight Million just in to cnn, moderate democrats are threatening their support for the Partys Budget Resolution until house speaker Nancy Pelosi allows their chamber to vote on the bipartisan Infrastructure Bill that was passed by the senate this week. Daniela diaz live for us on capitol hill. And daniela, this could seriously jeopardize Pelosis Plan to pass that Budget Resolution this month. What is she saying . Reporter well, she hasnt spoken out directly, brianna, but we have heard from her office, you know, senior democratic aide told me just moments ago they said that there are not sufficient votes to pass the bipartisan Infrastructure Bill this month. This aide put it as this is only nine moderate house democrats who are saying they will hold their vote on this Budget Resolution. Instead, there are dozens upon dozens who will vote against the bipartisan Infrastructure Proposal unless its after the senate passes reconciliation. So all eyes are on house speaker Nancy Pelosi as she tries to navigate this really tricky divide between moderates and progressives which is always the story were talking about when it comes to congress. And of course this matters for democrats because this Budget Resolution which will eventually become a Budget Reconciliation Bill this 3. 5 trillion package, sweeping package, is filled with democratic priorities. Such as funding to combat climate change, paid family and medical leave and of course expanding the Child Tax Credit and this is something the biden administration really wants to see passed in this congress as well as progressives who are putting up a fight and also want to see this passed which is why they want this vote first. So the bottom line here is that this threat for against pelosi would really put her plans in jeopardy as she navigates passing both bills through the house, where, of course, she only has a slim majority. She can only afford to lose three votes and these are nine House Moderates putting up fight on this Budget Resolution. Of course, the math does not add up. Not a lot of Wiggle Room which adds to the suspense. Thank you for that report. Supreme Court Justice Amy Comey Barrett rejected a challenge to indiana universitys decision to require students to be vaccinated by the start of the fall semester, that begins august 23rd. Shes letting these Vaccine Requirements stand. Were in indiana. This was the first time the Supreme Court had been asked to consider a Vaccine Mandate. It was brought this challenge was brought by a handful of students at indiana university, challenging that schools Vaccine Mandate thats set to take effect in the beginning of the fall semester. They wanted the courts to issue an Emergency Order to block it while the Appeals Court Process played out. They lost in the district court. They lost in the federal Appeals Court and that opinion was interesting because it based its reasoning back on a 1905 decision that the Supreme Court issued allowing a Vaccine Mandate for the smallpox. And that court said that iu was even on stronger legal footing because the iu mandate, like many others, allows exceptions for People with religious or medical objections. But that didnt stop the students here. They went to the Supreme Court and they went specifically to Amy Coney Barrett because she has jurisdiction over the federal Appeals Court that ruled here. And she was she acted swiftly. Iu. But it sends a strong signal that other mandates that were seeing popping up across the country may be on strong legal footing. Thats why it was important the way she acted so swiftly last night. Yeah. Did not seem like there was much doubt in that ruling. It seemed pretty clear, as does the Case Law on this.
