How is it going, sir? peachy. I, still, am flummoxed by um the misinformation over the vaccine. People refusing to get vaccinated. And also, refusing to wear masks. Um, every day, seems like it gets worse. And i don t mean that. I am talking about the people who are dying, who are actually coming down with it. Especially, the children. If you saw martin savidge s report tonight. Just heartbreaking. People who are seen with significant cases and hospitalizations are getting younger. Part of the metric here is ignorance. But part of it is, also, arrogance. This misplaced sense of righteous indignation and resistance that they believe is a false manifestation of freedom. This is not an issue of freedom.

And as we said, this was just the latest of many, such new carrots and sticks today. The las vegas police depar
On covid misinformation, what s your message to platforms like facebook? they re killing people. I mean, they re really they are look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. And that and they re and they re killing people. Here is the problem. Not even half of americans are fully vaccinated. And time is always on the side of the virus, as new variants work to outsmart existing vaccines. Case numbers are on the rise in every single state, hospitalizations are up. And as we know, a rise in those numbers can lead to more deaths. It s hard to convince the unconvinceable but some facts just speak for themselves. In los angeles county, every covid patient admitted to a department of health services hospital has one thing in common. They are not fully vaccinated. It s evidence of what the data has been telling us, all along. That vaccines are working. I want to go to cnn s joe johns, at the white house.
