I have a Sixth Grader whos not vaccinated and i dont feel safe for her to have lunch together with hundreds potentially of other kids who are not vaccinated. I think we need to educate our students. Ive taken the time to educate mine. All hour, we will be answering questions that you send in about how to keep our Kids Safe and who better to give us answers that we can trust than dr. Anthony fauci. Dr. Fauci right now, just moments, hes going to answer those questions that have been submitted. You can still send in a question. Its talk at msnbc. Com.
