One is Johnson Johnson which is one dose and they are still compiling data for the Johnson Johnson vaccine, whether those people need Booster Shots. But right now we are expecting this week that they could recommend most americans to get a Booster Shot eight months after becoming fully vaccinated. And don, we should note that the plan right now would start in mid to late september. But all of this is contingent upon authorization from the fda. Of course, they are the ones who make the actual changes to how these vaccines are authorized. Then the cdc votes on recommending the authorizations and thats when the ball gets rolling. It is significant given the many, many times weve asked this question, they have said right now, The General population does not need them. It does appear that is about to change. If youre just joining us, Caitlyn Collins is joining us with Breaking News. The beginning of the reporting here. I just got the wire to stop Health Officials and the biden administratio
Taxis off. There are people holding onto the aircraft, as it takes off. And as it flies away. At least two people were seen falling several hundred feet from one of the planes. Sickening. Haunting, as well. This photo posted on the Website Defense one. About 640 people, according to defense one, on an aircraft designed to carry 102 troops. Afghans, desperate to leave. Right now, according to the pentagon, there are about 2,500 u. S. Troops securing the airport. Late today, the president said their number will rise to as many as 6,000 but only to secure the evacuation. Before that, in words laying blame squarely on our former ally, the president justified his decision to end allmilitary involvement. So, im left, again, to ask of those who argue that we should stay, how many more generations of americans daughters and sons would you have me send to fight afghan afghanistans Civil War . When afghan troops will not. How many more lives, american lives, is It Worth . How many endless rows o
Back, and i don t think the american people are of a mind to send troops back. from your experience in the white house, i mean, how does a president get information i mean, biden, you know, a month ago, was saying he doesn t think the country s going to fall so quickly that they are going to take over. clearly, i guess, that was base on information he had been given on the capabilities of the the army from intelligence sources or from the military. how does a president get information that is that s just turns out to be wrong? well, look. i think, first of all, we are going to get the answer to that question because it seems clear that, both, republicans and democrats in congress are eager to find out the answer to that question. and they should, because if the intelligence was really deficient, that s a big concern. you make life-and-death decisions, based on that intelligence. so what went wrong? the other thing, anderson, is the president said today, we re going to continu
David, what do you make of president biden s speech today? did he do enough to take responsibility? how do you think it played? i thought the part of the speech the bulk of the speech, in which he made the case for why we had to leave afghanistan was very powerful and very compelling. and it was familiar to me because i i heard biden make similar arguments 12 years ago when president obama was formulating his policy. but i do think, anderson, he could have done more to take responsibility for what is was manifestly a failure. everyone is watching these horrific images on the screen. and and everyone remembers what what the assurances that he gave the country, back in april. and i think there is nothing wrong with saying we got that wrong, and i own it. you know? john f. kennedy, after the bay of pigs, said victory has a thousand fathers and defeat is an orphan, and i am the
Afghanistan s civil war? when afghan troops will not. how many more lives, american lives, is it worth? how many endless rows of headstones at arlington national cemetery? the president, also, spoke to the mess we are seeing now, saying the buck stops with him. he had less to say, though, about precisely how the administration got things so wrong. just six weeks ago, you will recall, president biden called the taliban takeover of the entire country, quote, highly unlikely. we will talk more, shortly, about how in the space of just a few days, unlikely became inevitable. first, cnn s clarissa ward with the latest from kabul. clarissa, where do things stand right now with the evacuation of u.s. and allied personnel? so, basically, what we re hearing is that hundreds of u.s. personnel from the embassy have been moved, via helicopter, to the airport. evacuations have been going on, pretty much, nonstop.
