children as young as 6 months. we know the white house says vaccinations could begin as early as next week once given the okay from the cdc and the fda. president biden already pledged to make 10 million vaccine doses available nationwide with the majority of states already preordering shipments since the beginning of the month. yeah. but many health experts are worried that parents of young kids may not take their kids to get those covid shots. the latest polling from the kaiser family foundation show that only 18% of parents of kids under 5 would want to vaccinate their child as soon as a vaccine becomes available. cnn medical analyst says that parents should remember the benefits of vaccinations still outweigh the risks of covid-19. more than 400 children in this age group of under 5 have died tragically during this pandemic. thousands have been hospitalized. it s really distressing for little kids to get sick, so that s what we re trying to do to prevent that kind of

disastrous showing the biggest spike in consumer prices in over 40 years that the fed felt the need to move fast here to take a page out of the playbook of alan greenspan and paul volker with a very big interest rate increase, and they signaled that more aggressive steps are to come because that official said they are, quote, strongly committed to getting inflation back down to 2%. and given that it s nowhere near 2% right now, that does imply more big rate increases to come. as far as why this is happening, i think it s important to think about the economy as almost like a car on a highway, and the fed is the driver. when it needs to speed the car up, it will cut interest rates to stimulate demand. right now we have the opposite situation. it s going dangerously fast, and so the fed needs to slow things down. it s actually slamming the brakes on the economy. the problem here, victor, for the fed is if they don t do enough inflation can go out of control. if they do too much,
