Regardless of whether theyve had their shots. And tonight the stunning reversal from the White House as president Biden Walks back his statement that facebook is killing people.

Arkansas now leads the nation when it comes to covid hospitalizations on a per capita basis. At this hospital where we are in little rock, i just checked and the average age of a Covid Patient is 40 years old. Six months ago, it was 60 years old. They were just telling us people are walking in sicker and younger than ever before. Tonight covid is surging in arkansas for the third time. Its hard to breathe, so i have to have oxygen. Reporter the number of hospitalizations has nearly tripled just in the past month. I regret it, not getting the covid vaccination. I thought i couldnt catch it, you know, so i just went on by my daily life. Reporter arkansas has the nations third worst vaccination rate, and now its overwhelmed by the far more contagious Delta Variant which is showing up in 84 of all new covid cases. For most people who get the Delta Variant, its going to be the most serious virus they get in their lifetime.

Has issued a warning urging americans to avoid all nonessential travel to the united kingdom. Back here in the state of arkansas, its a race between the vaccine and the variant. Weve got over 50 people in our hospital right now with complications of covid19, weve got zero people in our hospital right now with complications from the vaccine. Reporter what problem would it cause for you to get the vaccine . For one, im not going to because i dont trust the technology. Reporter where do you get your news from . I get it from alternative news sources. Reporter a Cbs News Yougov Poll found that among those unvaccinated, 74 says they will not get immunized even if their own doctor recommends the vaccine. Are people just not listening to you . I think we need to do a better job, help me understand who will convince you and i will find that person and we will talk to you. Reporter as Cases Surge in arkansas, starting next week, no Government Officials can implement any more Mask Mandates. The legislature passed a new law. The Governor Cant do it, not even local officials. No more Mask Mandates even if the doctors say it needs to happen. Norah. Odonnell interesting bit of reporting there. David begnaud, Thank You.

The Spring Attack on Microsoft Email gave the hackers essentially chinese Spies Access to hundreds of thousands of email servers. The investigation is not finished. Reporter the administration is alleging chinese leaders are paying criminal groups to hack rivals, costing companies and governments billions. What is your understanding between the biggest difference between what theyve done versus what russias done in terms of Cyber Hacking . My understanding is the chinese government, not unlike the russian government, is not doing this themselves, but are protecting those who are doing it, and maybe even accommodating them being able to do it. Reporter while the administration has sanctioned russia, there are no current plans to sanction the chinese. Not only do we need to penalize the contractors but the chinese companies that benefit from this intellectual property theft. Reporter separately an indictment unsealed today shows the u. S. Charged four chinese nationals for a seven year Hacking Campaign where they have hit stolen Research And Development data in pictures of a Koala Bear and former president trump.
