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

which brings us to anthony fauci. [laughing] it's not fair to laugh. it was not meant to be a a lah line, it was not. [laughing] from the looks everyone in the room, most of you remember the aids scare, and it was a very real scare. anthony fauci first came to prominence back in the 1980s and he very famously as a point out in the book wrote a paper in 1983 saying that aids was a communicable disease that can be passed around with an household just from people being around each other. turned out he was wrong but he was wrong just not indict him. site is all about doubt and learning from presumptions that don't turn out to be true. what indicts anthony fauci is that he didn't recognize the limits of knowledge, that knowledge rarely ages well, that want to learn and to be fair it wasn't just anthony fauci. england's national health service put up signs in great britain and the 1980 saying that one in five was going to get aids for which there is no cure. many of you remember the television show dynasty. you remember that episode where rock rock and made

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 calls this a game-changer. do you agree? and do you worry, though, that those who refuse to get vaccinated now will just fall back on this pill once it's available? >> i'm afraid that, yes, that will happen. that people think that this is a cure. it is not a cure. dr. fauci and i both come from the hiv arena. a couple of decades ago, we've done research in that. and this is similar to that. these are medications that can control the worsening of the virus once you have it. it is not a cure. so, the merck study showed that if you start getting, you know, the beginnings of covid and it's proven to be covid, if you treat it within five days, you could decrease the risk of going to the hospital or dying by 50%. that's very significant but nothing -- nothing -- takes the place of preventing getting infected which is what a vaccine does. so is it a game-changer? it absolutely might be. is it the cure? it absolutely is not. >> right. number one. get vaccinated. and then, of course, we should have this pill available as a backup aft

why is it that anthony fauci can go under oath and say otherwise? >> maria, i don't think that he can, and he should be prosecuted here. if he was notified, our committee did a year-long investigation. we talked about it back this may, we put out an official report. so he was clearly on notice then. after that he went where? he went to the united states senate, and not once but, i believe, twice under questioning by senator rand paul he said it didn't happen, and that's simply not true. and i don't think his e-mails, when you go back and look at the time, show that he wouldn't though something about this either. so he's long been on notice, he knows this, and now the question is, is will the department of justice do anything about it. maria: yeah. ric grenell, actually merrick garland was questioned about it last week under oath as well. your thoughts on what we are learning now from the n nih. >> look, we heard dr. fauci say simply i don't know how many times i can say it. i think we should take him up on this and count how many times he said it be

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 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 said americans shouldn't hesitate to spend holidays with their families if they are fully vaccinated. for the latest on covid and the vaccine cbs news medical contributor dr. david agus joins us from los angeles, good to see you. the fda advisory committee recommended friday that all j & j recipients get a second dose. should that second dose be j & j or another vaccine. >> well, nikki, 15 million people in the country got that j & j vaccine, they are basically waiting to see what to do. the recommendations are going to be two months after that shot, at least, you should get a second shot, either j & j or the rna vaccine. the j & j was probably meant to be a two shot vaccine so getting a second one will raise immunity. getting an rna will raise it even more. >> on the top eck of mixing and matching which we are all curious about, which provides better protectioning, mixing and matching or the same vaccine for all doses. >> if we take antibody level as a surrogate for how much immunity you get, probably mixing gives you slightly better protection with slightly more side eff

anthony fauci tells cnn the u.s. is not out of the woods yet. >> the best way to ensure that decline in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths to continue is to continue to get a lot more people vaccinated. >> governor greg abbott in an executive order is banning vaccine mandates, including by private businesses. >> although you would like people to do it on their own accord, sometimes mandates can help. it is getting people more vaccinated. >> another step that could help in the fight against covid, booster shots. the fda is said to review booster data for moderna thursday and j&j friday along with the potential for mixing vaccines. elizabeth josie, abc news, washington. >> returning to normal after a weekend of flight delays and cancellations. 87 southwest flights have been canceled this morning and nearly 200 are delayed. the dallas-based carrier says weather problems in florida friday caused a domino effect through the weekend. gary kelly is on gma debunking rumors it had to do with an employee vaccine mandate. here

anthony fauci, the white house chief medical advisor. doctor, welcome back to fox news sunday. >> thank you, thank you, chris, good to be with you. chris: as we say, the fda advisory panel this week recommended application for the use of the two other boosters that hadn't been approved so far, maria bartiromo mow deer -- moderna and j&j even though the data on j&j booster relatively speaking was pretty weak according to scientists on the panel. has the politics of giving boosters gotten ahead of the actual public health? >> well, you know, chris, i'm not so sure the politics got ahead of it. if you look at the data that's a been accumulated not only from our cohorts that we're following here in the united states, but the information which is critical information that we're getting from israel, it's very, very clear that there's waning immunity and that we do need to boost individuals who received any of the three products that we've been dealing with right now and as you mentioned, just this past week two of them, moderna and j&j, put th
