but let's just also celebrate what she's going to build at howard university, a great university. i'm thankful that all those foundations are supporting you. i just wish you were with me. but, you know, there's no doubt that we are at a moment in this country where race again has come to the forefront and journalism is -- it doesn't make friends. journalism really makes people feel uncomfortable. and i understand that our job as journalists and preparing a whole new generation, a changed generation, is to really prepare them to ignite the public conversation and boy has nicole ignited that public conversation. and we'll be forever changed here, nicole, and our faculty are supportive of you greatly and i hope that we will be able to continue to really build a better public university where all students and all of our faculty feel welcomed. and we would have loved to have done it with you, but we don't want to put the burden on you either. >> dean, again, i know you wanted her there, but how did unc blow this so badly? >> on every front. and i don't totally understand it. i think ni

but i'll still be engaging with that university. it's my alma mater. >> i know this question may seem a little late. i've been off spending time with my family, three different generations especially of black women in my family. my family is dominated by women. my mom, my sisters, and my nieces, right? of course we have younger generations because it's my great nephews. so before you go, you will now be colleagues with actress felicia rashad, who is a dean of howard's college of fine arts. now, you know she sent this letter to the school students and parents apologizing for tweeting in celebration of bill cosby's sexual conviction being overturned. she since deleted that tweet. she's apologized. what do you think about that? what do you think of the situation? >> i was really bothered and offended by the tweet that dean rashad sent. i'm a woman. i know many women who were on that campus. i know women who were sexually assaulted while they were on a college campus. so i think she has some serious work to do to regain the trust of the

our league is comprised of historically black colleges and universities. you're not going to find a cohort of presidents who care more deeply about the health and safety of their students and student athletes than our presidents. one of the hallmarks of historically black colleges and universities is the personal and intimate relationships that the presidents have with their students. so the notion that any one of our presidents would do anything that would undermine the health and safety of students is contrary to the reason why our schools even exist. >> yeah, and, greg, we certainly hope that that is heard loud and clear. you are a very good messenger of this, and we certainly appreciate you being with us today. >> thank you guys for having me. >>> an alabama doctor is sharing how she has made progress changing people's minds on vaccinations, issuing -- issuing a warning to those who are still hesitant to get their dose before it's too late. dr. brittany koby a said she is admitting people with serious infections. all but one of her covid patients is un

i want to bring in the dean of brown university. as you heard, president biden just told americans that if you are in an area with high levels of vaccination, you don't need to wear a mask. but the cdc says it depends on case rates. can you set the record straight for us? a lot of us remain confused. >> yeah, absolutely wolf. thanks for having me here. so the cdc is right. it really should be driven by local transmission or case rates in your community. the more infections you have, the higher the risk for everybody. again, mostly for the unvaccinated, but it is spilling over to the vaccinated as well. i think what the president suz probably referring to is low vaccination places are where the big outbreaks are happening. so there is a correlation there. but you have to follow the case rates, the infection numbers to make that decision. >> are you optimistic that vaccine mandates from both the president or private companies are actually going to work? >> i am. you know, the experience so far has been really terrific. we saw this wit

we have implemented a universal mask man dade. so within atlanta public schools, we will start the school year out with students in masks. in addition to that, we started this past semester with the surveillance testing opportunity. so surveillance test sergeant available weekly for all of our buildings, for students and staff, to get surveillance tested for covid on a weekly basis. we believe that's been another layer for effective mitigation towards protection within the classroom. the others are quite similar across the board, appropriate social distancing, hand washing, disinfecting our buildings, but the ones that are most prominent have been around masks. for us, the addition of universal surveillance testing. >> what are the triggers to force the schools to resume remote learning? >> yes. that's been top of mind for all of us. i want to acknowledge how we have watched data relative to vax neegsz here, of course in atlanta public schools. as of last week, we had about 18% of our student population, 12 and under -- i'm sorry,

i mean, this is from the university of indiana. this is, of course, a university. but the president of that school said this is saving lives. it's as simple as that. talking about the vaccine and the mandate. and it will enable us to have a normal-fall semester. so why is it a step too far? >> you know, we -- we've been pretty good in new hampshire, recently, with numbers of covid cases. even with the delta variant and everything else that's coming along. we were able to open up the schools. in the local districts with the educators and the administrators in the spring had worked together to make sure that schools could re-open. so we've been open, you know, for a little bit, at this point. we are looking forward to re-opening in the fall, fully. and we just don't feel a mandate is really in the best interest of new hampshire educators or the students, at this point. we need to keep going along with all the other mitigation procedures. when you look at the vaccination, that's more medication than it is the mitigation. if you put everything together, we feel that, y

and universal masking works. we know it works. >> i love it because it has -- >> uncertainty is all uncertain about the guards that considered entering audrey into a vaccine trial but their bracing for the worst case scenario. >> i told my husband he could not work because he has to run at home school and audrey comes home and i'm the single breadwinner for the family of four. >> reporter: and around the country there is also this debate among many school officials whether or not they should require or offer routine covid-19 testing when classes resume here at david t. howard middle school, students and staff and faculty will have the option of guesting a covid-19 test every week. that is the policy for all atlanta public schools. as for gwinnett county where sarah is sending her daughter, that is unclear right now, poppy. >> thank you for your reporting. it is so important. so many families having to make hard choices. we appreciate it. >> and thank you for joining me today. i'll see you back here tomorrow morni

william schaffner, professor of infectious diseases at vanderbilt university medical center. dr. schaffner, nice to see you. do you share dr. fauci's belief that we would still be battling smallpox and polio if we had had the same level of disinformation around when we were fighting those diseases? >> i think dr. fauci had a great insight. you know, at the time when we were vaccinating against smallpox, children and adults all came forward to be vaccinated. when polio virus vaccine first was available, the line stretched down the block, of parents and children coming in to be vaccinated. and there was not this kind of pushback and grousing and hesitancy and concern. and we would still have measles. we would have tetanus. we have german measles. we would have mumps. all these illnesses have disappeared because we universally have vaccinated our children and as adults, have come forward to be vaccinated. we can get covid virus under control. but we all have to come in together and do this. we all have to roll up our sleeves and get that shot. >> just to put this into perspective a

in what universe does a politician not learn the fact you just don't make any comparison to the holocaust or hitler? >> to david's point, i think that it is happening in a post-trump world. this used to not be acceptable. people knew better than to say this. but after four years of donald trump anything goes. it is not just sad or dangerous because people are going to die because they're not vaccinated. it's also dangerous because we are seeing rising anti-semitism, more and more attacks. it is irresponsible and just appalling. >> i thought she would learn something by tours the museum here in washington. she didn't learn much. thank you. >>> we are learning some disturbing new information about a latest suspect arrested in the u.s. capitol siege investigation. brian todd is working the investigation for us. he is part of a sebible study group? >> reporter: that's a loosely knit group that he was affiliated. there's a broader concern. that extremisms are obsessed with the u.s. capitol. new information tonight on a chilling alleged plot to attack the capitol after january 6. court document

we were probably -- not probably, we were the most open university our size that we know of in where last year through a great effort really led by our students and their compliance. but, now we have vaccines and we thought the right move was to give people choice. one last point, as a practical matter, we think we probably can get at least as far going this route as trying to mandate and then deal with the enforcement problems that go with it. >> one more question on the vaccines here, is you're also saying to students while you're not requiring it, you are saying there will be things that only vaccinated students will be able to do. there will be things that unvaccinated students will not be able to do. isn't that correct? and have you delineated what those things will be? >> it is correct and at least one respect. which is to say those who choose not to be vaccinate willed need to make their own arrangements as they would in any other year with any other disease to first of all stay out of class, stay away from infecting others and they'll have to do their best to keep up with the

colleen kraft is associate chief medical officer at emory university hospital. if we can begin with the risk to children here, i want to put some context around this, and maybe you can help. there are a lot of parents watching. poppy and i are parents. we are still talking about a very low percentage, by our math less than .07% of all covid deaths, 400 out of 600,000 nationally are children. if you're a parent of one of those kids, it doesn't matter what the numbers are. one death is too much. in terms of risks as parents are making judgments on how and how much to protect their children, how much of a risk is this? >> so i think, you know, elizabeth's segment just now is really clear. so we think this is the most transmissible. we think this is probably the most serious virus that you can get in your lifetime. so i think we know how to protect against transmission. it's just sort of whether or not we can balance our fatigue and sort of make it through this current wave of this current surge. i think we all thought we would be in a different place by the month o

megan rainy at brown university and also joining us is dr. ali khan, the dean of the university of nebraska medical center college of public health. he advised major league baseball on their plans to resume play during the pandemic. i want to start with you, doctor rainy, because you wrote about your concerns of the olympics back in february. given the state of the global pandemic, was it ever realistic that japan would hold the games with spectators in a safe and secure way? >> no, i don't think it was. not with a rate of vaccinations on a global level. i mean, look at japan's numbers. they only have about 11% of folks within japan itself vaccinated. if you go globally, we're looking in the single-digits at the percentage of people that are vaccinated. back when i wrote that piece, we were worried about the b 117 delta variant and we knew it was just a time before the variants emerged and sure enough here we have the delta variant. banning spectators is the appropriate thing to do but i worry about the athletes brought together across the wo

bad news, they are recommending universal masking for all students 2 years old and up. why do vaccinated kids need to wear a mask this school year? >> so i wouldn't say that's bad news. i would actually say that's good news for protecting all of our kids. first of all, we know that the minority of youth in this country have been vaccinated. the vaccines have only been approved for age 12 and up, and even among them less than a third have gotten both doses of the vaccine. so we only have to look at what's happening across the country. we told people, hey, you only have to wear a mask if you're vaccinated but if you go into a grocery store you know that just about nobody is wearing in most of this country, that means that people are unmasked despite being unvaccinated. the only way to make sure that those kids are protected for now is unfortunately to insist on universal masking. we know that universal masking works to stop the spread of this virus, and we need to protect our kids if we want them back in person school. masking seems like the least of the worries in terms

universal masks in schools is a really important way for us to do that and i hope that everyone does this voluntarily, just recognizing that there are children in school younger than 12 who don't have access to a vaccine. there are -- there are children and adults and teens and adults who are unvaccinated and this is the way to help keep everyone safe and make sure that our kids are if school and that they're learning and that they're able to be with their friends and doing all of the things that are so helpful for their health and development. >> and we do not expect approval authorization for a vaccine for kids under 12 to come, the expectation now is into winter of this year. as a doctor and pediatrician, how worried are you about the delta variant for children? >> yeah, i think really concerning, actually. and i think we're hearing -- you've heard the reports that is a more contagious variant. it is making people sicker and most of the severe infections are in invaccinated children and adults and that does include children. i think we're so grateful that coronavirus doesn't seem

let's explore this more with an emergency physician and researcher at brown university. doctor, it's good to see you. we have talked about this for months, about the cdc giving more clarity to parents about what to do. when you read the guidelines, the take aways, i'll read the first line, students benefit from in person learning and safely returning to in person instruction in the fall is a priority. that to me is the most significant part here. the details matter, but the tone, the cdc is not saying as it was before, if you have safety concerns, keep kids out of school. the cdc is saying get kids into school and deal with the safety concerns there. >> that's right. and the reason they're saying that is because we have growing evidence that there are ways to get kids back to school safely. right? so over the last year we have shown that if you mask kids, if you do testing protocols, even without vaccinations, you can keep kids safe. add to it the fact that all kids age 12 and up and certainly all teachers have had the chance to get vaccinated. and you have a very differ

if we all masked universally in the beginning maybe we wouldn't have needed a vaccine, right. i think i've said that before. but really, if people continue to spread it and it continues to find ways to live in humans, it's going to change just like it's always changed. so what i think we're seeing and what the hospital feels like right now is really like we're back in march of 2020 or july of 2020. like, i feel like we are where we were a year ago, and maybe half the population is vaccinated-ish depending which state you live in. but we're now going to see all of this rampant disease in people that don't believe in this and aren't vaccinated. it is confusing, given the last year and a half we've had. >> very confusing. just very sad to be at this point when so much of it was preventable with vaccine. dr. craft, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> the surging number of covid cases is already interrupting the new school year in atlanta. more than 100 students at a charter school are in quarantine this morning. our natasha chen is outside of atlanta drew charter school. this

william schaffner from vanderbilt university medical center. it is good to see you again, doctor. let's start with the breaking news that we just learned of it out of new york city. so you've got new york city, the mayor bill de blasio now announcing that all city employees are going to be required to offer proof of vaccination or submit to weekly covid testing. that is the approach in new york. in st. louis you have reinstituting a indoor mask requirement because of what they're seeing with the delta variant there. what do you think about these approaches? >> well, kate, it was kind of inevitable. we had reaching out hands asking people to come in and be vaccinated. along came delta which changes everything. this delta virus is spreading fiercely among unvaccinated people and now governments are asking people to do this by requirement, by compulsion. we'll have to do this and if you start with municipal employees they could provide an example to everyone else in the city also. this could be done at every level. federal, state, city, county level and that would move us ahead. it w

he is an infectious disease and global-health expert at the university of oxford. so, you heard boris johnson. you know, he -- he will find support for this, throughout england and beyond. the fact that, look, this is a virus we have to live with. do you believe, though, that he is moving too quickly? >> i do. it's quite a stunning reversal. and, you know, what -- what concerns me a little bit is this kind of all-or-nothing approach that is only either all lockdowns or we have to get rid of everything. normally, we see restrictions being lifted when cases are falling. what's, of course, fairly unique about this situation is that we're currently seeing an exponential rise in cases. 25,000 a day and climbing, quite quickly, across the uk. now, the key thing here, of course, is because the relatively high level of vaccinations. about 50% of the population. it's weakened the so-called link between cases and hospitalizations. so hospitalizations are rising, but low. i think the government is really betting on the idea that we can tolerate a steep rise in cases, without

the american academy of pediatrics is recommending universal masking in schools for everyone older than age 2. you're a pediatrician. will this guidance be enough for parents who are trying to figure out what to do about in person education this fall? a lot of parents i'm sure asking questions based on this reporting today. >> yeah. jim, this is one of those challenging issues. as a pediatrician and a parent, i know that the best place for kids to be in terms of their emotional health, in terms of their development is in school. i think what we have learned over the past year is that this can be done safely. it can be done safely for children. those who are 12 and older, we have to increase the pressure and the accessibility for those kids to be vaccinated, encouraging them to do that so that middle school and high school could be more like a normal experience. you know, when i see states around the country and some governors saying they're not going to promote vaccines for these kids, that i find extremely discouraging because there is the opportunity to protect those children and thos
