reporter: federal health officials say we re in a pandemic of the unvaccinated. when 99% of the people who are dying of covid today don t have a vaccine, that s perfect proof that you need to be vaccinated. reporter: it all raises an uncomfortable question. what are we willing to accept when it comes to deaths? this is the death toll over time so far. 1,000 in march of 2020. 300,000 by the end of last year. twice that many by the summer. some now ask, could there be a million tragic deaths before this is all over? i certainly hope not. i hope not. i don t believe at all that that is something that is an inevitability by any means. if we get theover overwhelming proportion of the population vaccinated, we re not going to see that at all. reporter: but that means getting most of some 70 million eligible adults vaccinated.
most don t like the anti-race stuff. trump and the republican party have thrown in their lot. it s too bad for the country and it s going to be too good for them with the old days. we re not about the old days in this country. we never have been. can we talk about the big role about the big lie in this race? you saw larry elder in the waning days raise the spectre of talking about this was a rigged election. in the end he conceded. that didn t happen. but at the same time, i wonder, as we saw the polls for what he wanted someone recalled or not, that sort of lined up with the vote, not too far off of it. i wonder what kind of fire republicans are playing with, with potentially, you know, sort of making the, you know, their outreach to republicans they don t want to come out and vote. maybe they don t believe it s really an election that s worth voting in. i think the big why has scared americans in the middle of the road. elections are about the middle

a.m. so i drink a lot of coffee. that bill is expensive. listen a hospital system in michigan says it s going to exempt employees with natural immunity, those with previous covid infections from their vaccine requirements. does that fall outside the administration s vaccine mandate for all health care providers who participate in medicare and medicaid? well, we re going to make sure everyone understands that getting vaccinated is the way to go. it s the way to stay safest when 99% of the people who are dying of covid today don t have a vaccine, that s perfect proof that you need to be vaccinated. when employers tell their employees to get vaccinated, we support that. when health care workers, as the president said, are not vaccinated, they re a danger to their patients and to their fellow employees. we ll take a look to make sure that everyone who is supposed to be vaccinated is, and that every employer that is supposed to make sure their workers are vaccinated does. a previous inf
was very worried about what was going on in the united states, but also in the process gave china a warning or a statement that some people think is controversial, saying, look, if we were going to attack you, i d tell you beforehand. listen, here s the thing with trump and the military and communications with adversaries. it s part of a pattern. this is not the first time. when i was reporting out my book, at the tensest times with iran, there were back communications with iranian officials, don t listen to the tweets, we re not going to war. between the tensest times, there were back channel communications between u.s. and north korean diplomats, we re not going to war here. they were concerned about the commander in chief doing just that, right. so sadly, this period post january 6, when it was clearly more acute, by the way, the president just tried to steal an election and their concerns were more acute, it was not the first time that u.s. officials felt the need to communicate
