anthony fauci, who is the top diseases expert in the united states, gave his reaction. the news of the efficacy of this particular antiviral is obviously very good news. the company, when they briefed us last night, had mentioned that they will be submitting their data to the fda imminently. the data are impressive. it's interesting, what's happened here, actually. you don't often see this. so the regulators and this independent scientific body in the states have actually told merck, the drug company, "you have to stop this trial," not because there was anything wrong, but because it was so positive, because, as i said, you've got half of this group that weren't given this pill. and ethically, you can't keep going with this trial if you've worked out that it's quite protective of people, because there's half of the people that aren't protected. so they've actually said, "stop this." merck, instead, the drug company, are going for this emergency use authorisation, say they're going to go through with that in the states within two weeks. so then we've got to wait for the

anthony fauci sounded a note of caution this weekend and warned about prematurely declaring victory against covid. dr. fauci: the dynamics of outbreaks in the community go way down. even though it is going in the right direction, we have less than 100,000 cases a day, it is about 95,000 as the seven day average. that is still way too high. alix: drew armstrong joins us now. nevertheless, the therapeutics are definitely good news. drew: differently good news. merck with a pill, astrazeneca with an injectable, both of which seem to cut the risk of severe outcomes from covid in half. that doesn't mean it is cutting it to zero, but it is certainly good news for people who are at risk of getting more severe outcomes from these infections. i would be surprised not to see these considered pretty rapidly by regulators around the world so they can have another option on top of vaccines, which obviously are pretty easy compared to waiting until you get sick for treating more problematic cases of covid early on. guy: it makes a big difference in terms of the way we think about this winter and the impa

anthony fauci saying he expects regulators to consider whether people who got that one dose j&j vaccine should get an mrna shot as a booster because immune response with j&j dose is lower than those with mrna vaccines but of course, this could lead to some confusing public messaging so regulators are working that out and we watch happens on the pandemic fronts. they are expected to show up in a sharp slowdown in the for third-quarter gdp. we have a preview. how big of a hit will taken china? anchor: for an economy that went double digits that when 8% this year, it is a steep slowdown. it is interesting how our ego team, double whammy's, mmm is, how about multiple whammy hits from things like the consumer slow down? locked in your house and cannot spend. the energy crunch all kinds of forces including the lack of coal to fire up plants. the supply chains hitting china like everybody else. the latest crackdown's extending to fintech. what will happen to property developers? it is all there. it is slowing down to 5.0%. that is a year-over-year number. the range of forecasts range from 4%-5

anthony fauci. so dr. fauci, the fda advisory panel will meet october 26 to consider whether to recommend pfizer's vaccine for children 5 to 11. only one-third of those parents say they'll get their child vaccinated right away. what's your message to parents who are hesitant? and also, will the shots go into arms of children by halloween? >> well, let me answer the second question first, dana, is that you don't want to get ahead of the fda. they said they'll look at the data and they will meet. i believe that if the recommendation is to go ahead, that the fda will move expeditiously. so i can't predict whether it's going to be before halloween or into november. i think it's going to be as quickly and as expeditiously as possible and the fda will do the usual good job. my message to parents would be although it's clear that a child getting infected has less of a chance of having a severe outcome than an elderly person or a person with an underlying condition, but it is not completely, unequivocally a benign

anthony fauci calls this a game changer. do you agree? do you worry those who refuse to get vaccinated will fall back on the pill once it's available? >> i'm afraid, yes, that will happen. dr. fauci and i both come from the hiv arena a couple of decades ago and we've done research in that. this is similar to that. these are medications that can control the worsening of the virus once you have it. if you start getting the beginnings of covid, you if you treat it within five days you could decrease the risk of going to the hospital or dieing by 50%. that's very significant but nothing, nothing takes the place of getting infected, which is what a vaccine does. is it a game changer? it absolutely might be. is it the cure? it absolutely is not. >> number one, get vaccinated. we should have this pill available as a backup there after the fact. so, doctor, governor gavin newsom said it will add this to the vaccinations required for in school return. do you think other states will follow? >> i truly hope so. people really need to look at this for

anthony fauci said people sometimes confuse a philosophical objection with a religious objection. how do, you know, experts separate legitimate requests from those who are just looking for a loophole? >> we see a lot of religious leaders across the country saying the same thing over and over again, that getting vaccinated is our duty to each other, that if you truly believe in religious teachings, you understand that you have a duty to your fellow man, your fellow woman, and so this is part of our duty to get vaccinated because choosing vaccination is not a personal choice at this point. this is really a choice for everybody. public health is not about the individual but our entire society and getting vaccinated shows that you understand that duty to each other, that you understand your role within society, and that you understand that duty and how important it is for us to protect each other. i think the religious exceptions should be extremely narrowly defined because we do see that mandates work. mandates are going to work and help us to push our vaccination rates higher and we

let's discuss with anthony fauci. doctor, thank you very much. appreciate you joining us this evening. vaccinations for children 5 to 11 years old could be approved in a matter of days. parents have a lot of questions about that. here is a big one. the dosing. the 5 to 11-year-olds would get a smaller dose than kids who are 12 and older, even though they are close in age and could have much bigger body sizes. what do you say to parents? they're concerned about this. >> no, actually i don't. you're going to have to make a cut off some point and the cut off was made at that age from 5 to 11. as you know, from 12 and older, the dose was the standard dose. they cut the dose down now to about one-third of what it is. it was 30 micro grams and it's now 10. that's a reasonable thing to do. if you have to start measuring it by body weight and things like that, it would become too confusing. i don't have any concern as a physician and as an immunologist knowing the kinds of things when you stimulate the immune system. i think we'll be okay. i think that w

anthony fauci are warning we shouldn't prematurely be celebrating. >> that's right. because, boris, if you can remember just a few months ago, sort of the end of may, beginning of june, we were celebrating a little bit, then delta variant happened. please, god, we will not have another variant like that come around, but we need to be careful. people need to get vaccinated and be sensible about the kinds of activities and the kinds of things they're doing. this pandemic is not over. but having said that, as you said, a couple of promising developments. one of them is that merck applied for emergency use authorization this morning for their antiviral pill. now, there are other treatments for early stage covid, and note i'm talking early stage covid, not in the hospital, but they're tricky to administer. there are monoclonal ant bibodi, and this would be easier if doctors could prescribe a pill, call it into the pharmacy for those with early symptoms. merck has put it out in a press release. it's not been published or peer reviewed. they said they had a clinical trial o

anthony fauci says the next month may be pivotal in the pandemic. >> so if all goes well, and we get the regulatory approval and the recommendation for the cdc, it's entirely possible, if not very likely, that vaccines will be available for children from 5 to 11 within the first week or two of november. >> joining me now is the director of the national institutes of health, dr. francis collins. hi, dr. collins. thank you for joining the show again. there are a lot of parents nervous about getting their kids vaccinated. how do you convince them they're safe? >> i would want them to be convinced by the data, because that's what this really is all about. let's look at the evidence of what the safety issue is and what the benefits are, of course, of kids being protected against covid-19. maybe early on in this pandemic, people thought kids didn't have to worry about it too much because they really wouldn't get very sick, and that's still true most of the time, but unfortunately, we have now had more than 500 children die of covid-19. this can be a very serious condition. if you look at t

anthony fauci says that we are certainly going into the right direction. but the number of infections -- new infections daily -- that is still too high. and the number of vaccinated americans is still not high enough. so, what we heard from him over the weekend, he basically warned against declaring a premature victory. >> we have to just be careful that we don't prematurely declare victory. in many respects, we still have around 68 million people who are eligible to be vaccinated that have not yet gotten vaccinated. and even those who have been vaccinated -- i mean, you -- you want to look forward to holiday seasons and spending time with your family and doing those sorts of things. but don't just throw your hands up and say it's all over. >> by now, roughly three in four eligible americans have received at least one dose of the vaccine. pfizer, for its part, continued its efforts to secure emergency-use authorization to use its vaccine on children ages 5 to 11. meaning, for now, their parents are basically stuck in a waiting game as the cdc vaccine advis

anthony fauci clarified those comments about the holiday season. >> i will be spending christmas with my family. i encourage people, particularly the vaccinated people who are protected, to have a good, normal christmas with your family, but just the way all of the other disinformation goes around, you say something, talking about a landmark of a time and it gets misinterpreted that i'm saying you can't spend family christmastime, which is nonsense. you can. >> reporter: today vaccine mandates went into effect for new york city's public school employees. mayor bill de blasio says 96% of teachers have received at least one dose of the covid-19 vaccine. in connecticut, state employees have until the end of today to prove vaccination or agree to submit to weekly testing. >> the overwhelming number of our state employees are going to be, what you call compliant. almost all of them are vaccinated. right now about 10% or so say they prefer testing a little bit longer. >> reporter: this as a federal analysis now shows that full fda approval of a pfizer vaccine did not dramatically increase v

anthony fauci and everybody's trying to put a positive spin on this. but when you look at this, that is not a good number. and i think we just need to be realistic. right now, yes, things are better but we still have 85,000 -- um -- you know, cases a day. and if this starts ramping up when we're at this high level, we are in deep trouble for -- for the winter. so, 57% or whatever, you know, it is total vaccination, you know, that's an f. there are other countries that are at 100%. portugal, for example. australia just opened up. um, their vaccination program a few months ago and they are at 80%. so, we can do better. we must do better. and are we going to have to learn to live with covid? to some dwregree. i think that everybody that is in science is in agreement that this is going to become an endemic infection, meaning that it is not going to be all over the world, eventually. but it will be in hot spots so we are going to have to learn that sometimes it's going to flare-up where we live and we are going to have to have more restrictions unless peopl

anthony fauci has faced death threats. he's talked about it on cnn and other places. i'm wondering if you've gone through the same thing yourself and what that has been like. i think i know the answer to the question, but i'm just wondering, it touches on this disinformation problem that we have in this country and why people when they get infected with this disinformation feel like they can lash out at people. and i'm just wondering if you've gone through that yourself. >> yes, i have. not at the same level that dr. fauci has, which requires him to have 24/7 security. but i've had knocks on the door at 1:00 in the morning from the police saying you might want to be extra careful. i've received emails that are really hard to read from people with such venom lashing out at somebody they've never met based on something they heard that they didn't like. gosh, america, how did we get in this space? if we could at least be civil, that would be a good start. but, better than that, let's seek out the truth and then try to make decisions on that basis. >> and i think if peopl

anthony fauci there. >>> well, southwest is the latest u.s. airline to mandate covid vaccines for employees. the company announced the policy on monday, citing the biden administration's requirement that federal employees be vaccinated. american, united, jetblue and alaska airlines have all announced similar requirements. that leaves delta airlines as the only major u.s. carrier without a vaccine mandate. but the company insists its voluntary approach is working. unvaccinated delta workers face mask mandates, testing and starting next month, higher health insurance costs. >>> still ahead right here on cnn, making history? his home state, nascar driver bubba wallace has accomplished something that hasn't been done in six decades. we'll have that and much more in our minute in sports. that's next. so, i started listening to audible about two years ago. a friend of mine recommended a book to me, and i got hooked really fast. and then it kind of just beca a lifestyle after that. i've found new authors. i've found new interests. i've found all of t

anthony fauci says 28 million young children could be eligible for the covid vaccine very soon. the fda's vaccine advisers meet tuesday on the pfizer dose for kids ages 5 to 11. this morning dr. fauci laid out the time line. >> so if all goes well and we get the regulatory approval and the recommendation for the cdc, it's entirely possibly if not very likely that vaccines will be available for children from 5 to 11 within the first week or two of november. >> and in washington, two trump allies feel the pressure from the january 6th probe. the justice department is weighing criminal charges for, one, steve bannon, after he refused to cooperate. the other jeffrey clark has agreed to testify. clark is a key architect of trump's behind-the-scenes efforts to overturn the election, and he'll be grilled by the house select committee on friday. the committee is also ramping up efforts to follow the money behind the massive stop the steal campaign that culminated in the january 6th rally and insurrection. joining us now to talk about this, democratic congressman eric swalwell of califor

anthony fauci warns of celebrating too soon. >> we have to just be careful that we don't prematurely declare victory in many respects. we still have around 68 million people who are eligible to be vaccinated that have not yet gotten vaccinated, and even those who have been vaccinated, i mean, you want to look forward to holiday seasons and spending time with your family and doing those sorts of things, but don't just throw your hands up and say it's all over. if you look at the history of the surges and the diminutions in cases over a period of time, they can bounce back so we don't want to always, you know, be on our edge that it's going to happen because it won't. if we do what we should be doing. >> all right. let's bring in a professor of the emergency medicine at oregon health and science university. always good to see you, doctor. do you, too, worry about people claiming victory too soon? >> yeah. i really do, fred. i mean, i think delta was really humbling to us in this sense the last time we felt we were really coming out and started to relax unmasked, we got this next surge

anthony fauci says is 66 million people eligible for the vaccine still remain unvaccinated. >> if we don't do well in that regard there will be the danger there is enough circulating virus that you can have a stalling of the diminishing number of cases. when that happens when we've seen in the past with other waves, there's the danger of resurgence. >> on friday they voted unanimously to have a booster dose two months after people have a shot. the group discussed a question of whether it's a good idea to mix and match vaccines here as a recent study said there may be additional benefits from pfizer or moderna boosters for j&j recipients. >>> for the first time in franchise history the chicago sky are w fl ba champs. more on the victory next. everything. but then ray went from no to know. with freestyle libre 14 day, now he knows his glucose levels when he needs to... and...when he wants to. so ray...can be ray. take the mystery out of your glucose levels, and lower your a1c. now you know. try it for free. visit freestylelibre.us so, should all our it move to the cloud? the cloud woul

anthony fauci says we'll see another surge if people don't get vaccinated. >> we're going in the other direction. we still have approximately 66 million people whoever not continuing to come down in that sleep will depend on getting more people vaccinated. you can enjoy the holidays, trick or treating, certainly thanksgiving and christmas with your families. that's why we emphasized why it's so important to get vaccinated. >> meanwhile, millions more americans could soon be eligible for a vaccine booster. they are scheduled to discuss the issue later this week. it comes after an fda panel recommended boosters for all adults. they should get an extra shot as soon as it's available to be fully protected. on sunday dr. fauci said boosters might be recommended for all of them. >>> and in minnesota, a nurse's strike temporarily closed an emergency room at one hospital in plymouth after 50 nurses went on strike seeking fair pay and benefits. the pandemic is hitting americans in their wallets. fueled labor shortages are creating a growing supply chain crisis. prices are going up, slowing down

anthony fauci saying they're showing 56% of eligible adults are fully vaccinated. dr. fauci expressing concern after the promise of a new oral treatment for coronavirus patients. dr. fauci concerned that some people basically choose to bypass getting vaccination because they may have the option. >> it is never okay to get infected. you heard the numbers. it decreased the risk, this pill did, of hospitalizations and deaths. you know the way to decrease by 100%? don't get infected in the first place. >> merck and riejback -- they plan to submit the product to the fda foremergency use authorization. >> thank you for that. new guidelines for the holidays, still weeks away. they're from the cdc. if you want to reduce your risk of getting covid or spreading covid, get vac sin natded. please do not host or attend events if you are sick or symptomatic. >> covid some of america's big biggest companies are closed in vietnam. some are still closed. nike makes more than half of its shoes in vietnam. it lost ten weeks of production when they closed. >> michael koors, ugg and pac su

anthony fauci says it still pays to be cautious. >> we have to just be careful that we don't prematurely declare victory. in many respects, we still have around 68 million people who are eligible to be vaccinated that have not yet gotten vaccinated. and even those who have been vx natured, you want to look forward to holiday seasons and spending time with your family and doing those sorts of things, but don't just throw your hands up and say it's all over. >> we have associate dean of public health at brown university. dr. ranney, you're also seeing what's going on in the emergency room firsthand and covid patients still coming in. that's what i want to start off this conversation with, where are we in this fight? haven't we seen this movie before, that we thought we had turned the corner on the pandemic. what is your sense now? >> how many times have we said the worst is oefrks the surnl is dunl. it is through in many cases, the surge is over. we're seeing cases with hospitalizations and even deaths in those states that were so affected over the summer. but there are some cases that are

anthony fauci about dr. collins. the two men are very close, they've known each other for about 30 years. and dr. fauci talked about his incredible input. the research he's done on cystic fibrosis. on genetics. it's hard to measure the scientific contributions that dr. collins has made over the years. in addition, as director, he's been really devoted to bringing in minorities. to bringing in women. to making those scientists head of institutes, to put them in leadership positions. let's take a look at a statement that dr. collins put out this morning. he said, i'm proud of all that we've accomplished. i fundamentally believe, however that no single person should serve in the position too long. and it's time to bring in a new scientist to lead the nih into the future. now, dr. fauci also mentioned just personally how much dr. collins has meant to him. he described him as a very kind and considerate person. 'actually called him folksy. he plays the guitar. he rides a motorcycle. he is a man of many interests. i've ent

anthony fauci is saying now is not the time to let our time down. collin is telling anti-vaxxers are saying these vaccines may be a way to send help from god. how concerned are you that the u.s. is going to be left behind here? >> well, i'm always concerned that we come a little bit too complacent and we think that because things are better that means that things are completely gone and they're not. we're still at a much higher baseline than we were a year ago when we had that winter surge so i don't want to poo-poo the fact that the surge is starting to minimize, but let's learn from what happened just even a few months ago when in june we thought everything is fine, let's take off our masks, and what happened? we had another huge surge. another variant that came around. the key word is cautious optimism where we have to come outside. it's still drizzling but we can't take off our galoshes and go running around because it's still raining. it's still raining. >> a good analogy there. doctor, covid cases are down since the peak last month. very encou

anthony fauci put it today. >> you want to look forward to the holiday season and spending time with families but don't throw your hands up and say it's over. if you look at the history of the surges and dcases over a period of time, they can bounce back. so we don't want to always, you know, be on our edge that it's going to happen because it won't if we do what we should be doing. >> dr. matthew is a primary care physician and public health specialist in atlanta. great to see you dr. matthew. look, a little more than half of americans are fully vaccinated. what are the risks of acting like the pandemic is over now? >> yeah, pamela, we've seen the playbook play out so many times so i tweeted earlier i'm frustrated. we should not be using the terminologies turning the corner and pulling back on restrictions and the reason for that is we're coming down from such a very high level. we're averaging 95,000 cases and still, about 1500 americans are dying every day. let's not forget we're going into the cold season and we know what happens, people take off their masks and especially in pla

anthony fauci, children ages 5 to 11, could be giving shots in arms next week or the week after. let's talk about why that is so important. it is important not just to protect children. children do not covid. you can't always predict who that child is going to be. why would you want to roll the dice with your own child. brianna, you're a mom. you know how germy children are. even if they're asymptomatic, they could get their gabby petitos sick. and they could get sick or even die. why in the world would you want to do that. that's why it is so important. let's look at the reports from kaiser. just 27% said they would get their child vaccinate right away. 30% said definitely no. take a look at the last line. this is where health communicators need to focus in. 66% said they were somewhat or very concerned about the effect that the shot might have on their child's fertility. let's you call that concern what it is. it is facebook garbage. i am all in favor of being an empowered patient. i actually wrote a book called "the empowered patient." i have talked about all the things we had

anthony fauci is optimistic that shots could go into children's arms in the first or second weelkk of november. we could see children getting the pfizer vaccine. victor, alisyn. >> we are standing by for the decision by this panel. elizabeth, thank you. >> joining us now is dr. suesana hill. dr. hill, it's great to have you here. assuming this actually gets passed, do you think that it would be a challenge to get a large number of kids vaccinated and the reason i ask is because at the moment, we can put up our latest graph, roughly half of young people, aged 12 through 17 who are eligible are actually vaccinated. so do you think it will be harder to get younger children vaccinated, easier, what's your thinking? >> well, alisyn, i think it's perfectly natural for parents to have questions. it's normal to have concerns. and that is likely why the numbers that you just put up are what they are. we're not quite at 50% in terms of vaccinations for kids, for adolescents who are in the eligible group yet. some areas are doing really well. some areas have 70% or more of their adolescent popul
