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 dont 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 savIdges 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. Of course, you ever the freedom to make choIces about your own body. Lets put to the sIde the Irony that so many of these people dont want to afford that freedom to women. But what were sayIng Is, does It mean Its the rIght choIce . And these suggestIons. Uh, I thInk the vaccIne Is safe, bu
This step, and Corporate America also really stepping up here, ramping up its approach. Google, facebook, netflix, lyft. So many others you see listed there among dozens of companies now requiring employees to get vaccinated. Right now cases are surging among the unvaccinated, so thats the reason for this. The u. S. Is averaging more than 63,000 cases per day. Thats a 59 increase over last weeks sevenday average. Restrictions are being put back in place. Masks are making a comeback. And yes, the unvaccinated are to blame. This morning the president again making that very clear. So lets begin with our chief Business Correspondent Christine romans, because, romans, it is really the private sector in conjunction with now this federal requirement from biden that i think is really going to make or has the opportunity to make a world of difference here. Youre seeing leadership from Corporate America on this in a way we havent yet. Theyve been strongly encouraging vaccinations for sometime. N
Vaccines can outpace the spread of the highly contagious Delta Variant. Right now it is not looking good. More than half of u. S. States, mostly republican led, have a Vaccination Rate below the national average. The new surge beginning to imperil returntowork plans. Last night republican governor of alabama, Kay Ivy, said bluntly in an interview most of her colleagues will not say, that the blame for much of the continued suffering in her state rests squarely on the shoulders of those refuse to go get vac nated. What is it going to take to get people to get shots in arms . I dont know. You tell me. Folks are supposed to have common sense. But its time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks. Its the unvaccinated folks that are letting us down. Wow. One might think governor iveys frustrations could represent a crack in the republican firewall against covid protections. And even in washington there are signs republicans are beginning to acknowledge that their vote
Body. Lets put to the side so many of these people dont want to afford that freedom to women. But what were saying is does it mean its the right choice . And these suggestions i think the vaccine is safe, but you have the freedom to take it, but i dont know that the science lines up, but i dont know why theyre changing the guidance. These suggestions feel resistance. And i think its a mistake. You know what we dont talk about . Maybe youve talked about it on your Radio Show or maybe youve talked about it on your show before. I dont get to see every second because im trying to get in the seat and get ready for mine, but just the effect it has, the toll that it takes on hospitals, taking up space in hospitals, people who are coming in now. The cost, the medical bills that people are getting. Much of it going unpaid. The Uninsured Putting taking a toll on the medical system. There are lots of things that we dont talk about or people dont consider when they are vaccine resistant or vaccine
