Has had with lawmakers this week. This is what he said in the last hour. We cant do too much here. We can do too little. We can do too little and sputter. The end result is, its not just a Macro Economic impact on the economy and our ability to compete internationally. Its peoples lives. Real live people are hurting. We can fix it. We got the first jobs report out under President Biden. Its a better report than december. Overall though, we have a long way to go. 49,000 jobs were added last month.

lawyer sitting for nine hours to. testimony angry advocates after xia judges ruling that keeps that silence ukraine coming into this country. plus, as would one loved ones began funerals for the victims of the buffalo shooting, a moment of silence. this hour, when we got to the deadly rampage. and we are following the damage on the debt left behind by a michigan tornado, that is all coming up. we do want to start that with that breaking news from parents that are struggling to find baby formula. right now, more than 1 million palates have been loaded onto military jets to be float across the atlantic. while we look at the scene here, earlier this morning as you see pilots there being floated, more formula also being split scheduled to fly out of switzerland as well. and a short time ago, have a around the world in south korea president signing legislation into law giving the federal government more control over industrial production during i m urgencies like this one. joining
stuff. when we look at now approval him cdc and fda think it s can go ahead from 5 to 11 to get these boosters, how protectable these boosters been, and for how long? especially as we take a look ahead to the summer months and then of course into the new school year? yeah, yasmin, there s no question that the protection of our vaccines include decreases. but we do know this, with the booster, the levels of antibodies that can neutralize surges like omicron, the levels are higher after the third dose than even after the second dose. so what does that mean? that means you ve got a higher chance of antibody protection for all these infections that we are seeing right now today. to your very important question, along with that last, i think that remains to be seen. we know from prior studies, previous doses really only last several months. but do i think that my kids are gonna be able to get vaccinated every three to 4 to 5 months? no. so i think that we all have to kind of pause and say
60, 65, you re more at risk. and then after 4-6 months the vaccine is waning. but i spoke to a doctor today on that fda advisory committee, and he thinks that the third and the fourth rt shot should be left for people most at risk and that younger people are getting enough protection with two shots. let me tell you quickly why the controversy and the confusion here. it s because we re with talking about antibody protection, and often you ve still got your t-cells, your memory arthel: yeah, but doesn t that wear with off too? yeah, it wears off. so correct. that wears off too to some extent, and that s why i don t agree with the doctor. i think everybody that s eligible, and that would be over the age of 12 for pfizer and the age of 18 for moderna, should get the third shot. i m onboard with the third shot. the fourth shot should be those most at risk and higher risk groups and elderrerly. arthel: could wearing masks, especially during cold and flu
through new york, hopefully they ll be just where london has had it and where south africa has already been. yeah. and i think the reason the san francisco data was fascinating to me is when the u.s. records 750,000, a million cases a day, you know, that is a fraction of the actual number of people that have covid or contracted covid on that day. i don t know if it s 1/5, 1/10 or 1/20, but lots more people are getting this thing than are presenting and the positive part of that, particularly if these are asymptomatic cases, is those are conferring antibody protection that builds up an immunity wall for whatever comes next. that s right. we could be talking about five, six million people a day by some estimates, including ihme is right around there and the university of washington. but that means it burns through the population very quickly. as you say, if this confers immunity against future
