Odonnell good evening to our viewers in the west, and thank you for joining us. We are going to begin tonight with what the White House is calling a pandemic of the unvaccinated, and it comes as president biden leveled an extraordinary charge against facebook, accusing the social Media Giant and other platforms of, in his words, Killing People, for allowing Coronavirus Misinformation to spread. And the false rumors and reports on those Web Sites are having an impact. New polling shows a majority of those who havent been vaccinated believe incorrect information about the shot, and this is why Health Officials are concerned. New covid cases are soaring. Deaths are also increasing, driven by the highly contagious delta variant, which is now the dominant Covid Strain worldwide. It is so concerning that, at midnight tomorrow, Los Angeles County will require masks indoors, even for people who have been vaccinated.

County, New Cases have more than doubled in the last week.

The mixed messages of saying you have to mask when youre vaccinated will tell the unvaccinated actually the vaccines dont work. Reporter are you concerned that could erode trust in the efficacy of the vaccine . No, not at all. There are situations where one might want to go the extra mile to get the extra degree of protection. Reporter Health Officials have said the vaccines getting full f. D. A. Approval could boost confidence, and tonight the head of the f. D. A. Is saying that could happen, norah, within the next couple of months. Odonnell that would be some good news.
