patel: yeha, and this all started from a misinformation campaign, if you will, that came out of europe. but there is no evidence to date that this vaccine can cause any type of long-term infertility issues. if you kind of one to back to mrna technology 101, the vaccine is crating a map of a spike protein, and then the actual mrna that you inject gets degraded. it's gone. so all you basically have is a boosted immune response for that one spike protein. there is no plausible mechanism for how this can go into effect a child's fertility. it's confusing for people out there when you see these reports on social media. but the bottom line is asked i talked to some immunologists who have taken a step back and said i can't even fathom to create a vaccine to target sars-cov-2 and human reproductive system, even if they wanted to can some twisted world. kristen: all right, that's good to know. another thing parents who are hesitant .2 is that kids really do seem to be better defended against covid. 73 million kids in the u.s., fewer than 700 have died from covid. that is one in 100,000, right?

kristen: so president biden had to leave for europe for the g20 and the u.n. climate summit without a victory in hand, without being able to say the u.s. is back in terms of leadership on climate issues because they're apportioned in the bill. so i'm asking you, how much does this hurt the u.s. and hurt his ability to say the u.s. is back on the world stage as a leader? >> it's a disappointment, there's no question. the white house wanted president biden to come with a big victory to say the u.s. is leading. and also, showing that democracy can work. that has not been demonstrated so far. it's been a very ugly sausage making process of this bill. it doesn't mean they're not able to show leadership, but it does mean one big talking point the president hoped to bring is not there. and it's his own party not giving it to him. it's been the democrats fighting against themselves that have been defining this legislative fight. kristen: partly the problem is the democrats is a super wide tent, certainly whiter than the republican tent. that was abc news recline. comi
