Reporter hallie, obviously, this is shaping up to be a pretty significant speech from the president after a summer in which he had hoped we would be looking at the downslope of the Covid19 Pandemic and focus on other issues, but instead the Delta Variant changed those plans. White house officials are casting this speech as sort of everything theyve been trying to do, but bigger and bolder. One of those specifically already has to do with something the president himself did a couple of months ago. We talked about in july when the president ordered federal agencies to require a Vaccine Requirement on their staff or give them an option short of a vaccine of doing regular attestation of their negative status from covid19. What the president is expected to do today sign an executive order, directing those federal agencies to give up that second option. You have to be vaccina

Banning abortion after six weeks of pregnancy doesnt give women six weeks to think about what shes going to do as abbott seems to suggest there. For the vast majority of all women based on the Way Pregnancy is calculated, a Pregnancy Test may not even turn positive until what would be considered the fourth week of pregnancy.

Dr. Fauci says hes confident that pfizer is still on track for a September 20th booster rollout, but the modernas may be delayed beyond that. Grim picture in the united states as children are returning to the classroom, the cdc says that childrens hospitals across the country are filling with covid cases.
