that with than chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. his book keep sharp build a better brain at any age just came out. doctor, thank you for being here, what are your takeaways from a busy week of data? well, first of all, with regard to the studies around vaccination and boosters, i think this is important. there s two things that really jumped out at me. i can show you the data, in terms of the likelihood of someone developing a breakthrough infection if vaccinated versus vaccinated and boosted. what they found was the biggest difference between the vaccinated and unvaccinated. you did get a benefit, not an insignificant one from being boosted as well. there s two stories here. as you point out, michael, less than half the people who qualify have actually gotten them. but a larger part of the country is still far and awade the unvaccinated.
not be blamed. they should honestly be blaming themselves because it is the unvaccinated that is overwhelmingly passing this virus around. another reason why i wouldn t be a good politician. i ve rarely seen mandates work, especially in situations like this where you couldn t really enforce it. but the vaccinated need to be respected by power and they do want mandates for the unvaccinated. how so? look, again, the vaccinated are sick and tired of the unvaccinated not being vaccinated. so the vaccinated adults say the unvaccinated should get vaxed in order to go to college. 77% go to kindergarten to 12 school. or go to work, 6%. this is 68%. this is a story across the board. the vaccinated want the unvaccinated to get vaccinated, because if the unvaccinated do decide to get a shot, this
i ll tell you who will like that slide, president biden, because it kind of gives him a pass. go to college? that s up to colleges, not the federal government. go to work? that s going to be federal employers. 2 k. through 12 that s localities. now the question of the day. does it work? social pressure, mandates. maybe. but there is the chance that there could be a backlash. so this is a poll from a couple months ago, and it basically said do the unvaccinated seem unfairly pressured to get vaccinated? a lot of them do, 41%. the majority don t feel that way, but 41% is an awfully large percentage, and it gives you the idea that although you may get some of the unvaccinated vaccinated through these mandates, there will be a good portion of them saying, wait a minute, i don t like this at all. now i m going deeper in my corner and there is no way in heck i m getting vaccinated. i think we need to be careful in our messaging and how we put this across if, in fact, we do want vaccine ma
it s what the science tells us. another reason why i wouldn t be a good politician. i ve rarely seen mandates work, the vaccinated need to be respected by power. they re the majority. especially in situations like this where you couldn t really enforce it. but the vaccinated need to be respected by power and they do want mandates for the unvaccinated. how so? look, again, the vaccinated are sick and tired of the unvaccinated not being vaccinated. so the vaccinated adults say the unvaccinated should get vaxed in order to go to college. 77% go to kindergarten to 12 school. or go to work, 6%. 68%. this is a story across the board. the vaccinated want the unvaccinated to get vaccinated, because if the unvaccinated do decide to get a shot, this variant would be a lot less. but it doesn t mean the mandate is the best way to approve it. i get the feeling.
