Newlywed life is especially concerning as a frontline worker. Learn how to overcome worry and fear in this pandemic, and trust that we’ll be kept safe.
we have things to talk about momentarily. things that could really annoy just about everybody. now to the latest on the pandemic. they re going to go against the recommendation of the cdc on boosters. if it seems like there is mixed messaging it s because there is. today the director said that frontline essential workers eve be from healthcare workers to grocery store employees should get another shot coming after the advisory committee said people even at risk workers should not get the booster shot. they said it was a scientific close call. when faced with uncertainty
people who are over 65, or people who are high risk, and that is medical conditions as well as occupational exposures there s a lot of room for exactly that gray area the you are talking about because health care workers could fall into, that frontline essential workers could fall into that. you might see some interpretation it will be interesting to see how the cdc and the committee interprets that and gives like that. and i will say though that this will come back again. new data will evolve for that younger population. i wouldn t be surprised if in a month or two months we are back again discussing whether or not there should be an extension. currently we don t have the data. and we have a whole world that is without vaccines. absolutely, i am so happy that you keep making that point when we have you on the broadcast as it needs to be made. regularly to an american audience. general, let s talk about someone you know and that is
but the other thing i think, it s the selfishness that really strikes me. when you don t get vaccinated, and the people who pay a price are the people whovaccinated, screaming that we shouldn t have to wear masks. these merchants of death in fox news in prime time and many others, you re putting kids under 12 at risk, immuno compromised at risk, doctors and nurses who have been heroic for over a year and a half now at risk. the selfishness is remarkable. you re putting our nation s economy at risk. and we re one of the few countries in the world there s enough vaccines for everyone and they re free throw and they re available. to dr. gupta s point we need to get them in communities. there s not a lot of friction to get them. that s what s remarkable here. some of that is stupidity, some of that is selfishness, some of it s play to go a very narrow
it s about life and death. that s what it s about. i know people talk about freedom, but i learned growing up in school and my parents with freedom comes responsibility. the decision to be unvaccinated impacts someone else. unvaccinated people spread the virus. they get sick and fill up our hospitals. and that means if someone else has a heart attack or breaks a hip there may not be a hospital bed for them. if you re unvaccinated you put your doctor or nurses at risk, the same frontline essential workers have gone through hell. with freedom comes responsibility, so, please, exercise responsible judgment.
