humanitarian disaster in china, with maybe in the next few weeks, maybe 200,000 to 300,000 chinese dying, over the next year, over a million chinese dying. we should be pouring mrna vaccine into that country. the chinese were resistant, all their vaccines were made in-country, with technology that turned out to be inferior, and they didn t vaccinate very well, the people who are most vulnerable, particularly their elderly. 30% of people over the age of 60 in china have not been vaccinated. and 60% of people over the age of 80 have not been vaccinated. so, that s where i d be putting my money, getting mrna vaccines to them. dr. jonathan reiner, thank you so much. my pleasure. a mother springs into action when doctors cannot get ahold of the life-saving cancer medication for her daughter. that s coming up next. thankfully, we also have
future waves of variance we might experience is vaccination so i urge anyone to take up the offer as soon as possible. anyone to take up the offer as soon as possible- we will turn to questions, and the first two are from members of the public. i believe the first is christina in berkshire. given the increasin: christina in berkshire. given the increasing number christina in berkshire. given the increasing number of increasing number of hospitalisations of young children with covid 19 are there plans to vaccinate with covid 19 are there plans to vaccinate children under 12? with covid-19 are there plans to vaccinate children under 12? vaccinate children under12? thank ou for vaccinate children under12? thank you foryour vaccinate children under12? thank you for your question. vaccinate children under12? thank you for your question. at - vaccinate children under12? thank you for your question. at this - you for your question. at this point, ourvaccination you for your question
s survival after the transplantation. that is common type of requirement for a transplant. before covid if you hadn t had your shots, they wouldn t do the operation on you. they would make you wait. they re trying to make the expensive procedure with a lot of rehab involved successful, this isn t some new issue about, oh my goodness, he won t vaccinate, we re going to discriminate about him. when it comes about concerns with side effects, whatever the risks of the shot, they re lower than covid. ferguson, a father of two with another child on the way remains in the hospital. he was in the o.r. for a separate surgery as we were speaking to her. his life is on the line. do you think he might change his mind about the vaccine knowing that? he might. he could wake up after his surgery today and say, all right, i m willing to take my risk. do you hope he does?
as you just pointed out, from some of the incidents in vancouver and as well, we ve had some hate-motivated incidents here in ottawa. this is not under control by any siege. the police chief was categorical calling this a nationwide insurrection driven by madness saying his city was under siege. the question is what s going to bring an end to this? the protests will tell you they re here for the long haul, to use a term, and they re also saying they want to talk to the politicians. and namely prime minister justin trudeau who, so far, has refused to meet with them. and again pointed out a lot of these restrictions are based on provincial orders. he s in charge of the federal government and for that reason, people are stuck in the middle wondering what could possibly mediate this. paula newton, appreciate your reporting. still ahead y one physician says he won t vaccinate his kids under 5 and, no, he is not an anti-vaxxer. he s next. um, she s eating the rocket.
mask when you re around people outside your household. your child should be wearing a mask if they re unvaccinated when they re out in public regardless. and if you re in an area of substantial or high spread, as the cdc has said, everyone should be wearing a mask when they re out in public. while it seems confusing, it s actually vaccinate if you can, and if you can t vaccinate, then you especially need to wear a mask, and in you re in a place that is a high spread, then wearing a mask when you re in public will protect you and those around you. dr. jerome adams, appreciate having you again. let s keep this going and get the information out there for people and let s track progress where we find it. i just also want to say to the governors out there, please, please don t take tools out of the hands of public officials. let that conversation happen on a local level and let public health officials do what the data says they should be doing. it just drives me crazy, chris, to see tha
