Quotes from the news wire:
We're moving in the right direction. But we're not there yet, only 55 % of kids between 12 and 17 are fully vaccinated and only 22 % of kids between 5 and 11 are fully vaccinated. So the combination of still a lot of virus in the community and not a lot of kids vaccinated, to me, says that we need to wait a little bit longer until there's less virus in the community.

That's what the Israelis are going to do, and it's clear to me that's what we're going to do. We're just going to take it at an unnecessary, unacceptably long period of time to get to the point where we get a fourth dose. And I want to see a sense of urgency. Even more than urgency, I want to see a sense of nimbleness.

So with more cases mounting around the world, it makes sense to take care of the health care system, that's what the Israelis are going to do, and it's clear to me that's what we're going to do. We're just going to take it at an unnecessary, unacceptably long period of time to get to the point where we get a fourth dose. And I want to see a sense of urgency. Even more than urgency, I want to see a sense of nimbleness.

I love the idea of screening people who get on a plane to come to the U.S., but we should be able to incorporate that into our travel system here in the United States to prevent folks who are infected from going from, let’s say, parts of this country that have high viral threat to places maybe where there’s lower viral threat, one way to contain the virus is to test people the day of departure. And we have rapid tests that can do this. We just need the systems and the will to do it.

I'm not sure what this ban will achieve, other than to add some disincentive to other countries that might be looking to do intense sequencing and identify variants, this might incentivize those countries to maybe, you know, back off on that a little bit because no good deed goes unpunished.

They haven't been the best. They haven't been the worst. They've been OK in their pandemic response and they've had about 10,000 deaths, so we'd have about 45,000 deaths in this country.

Transmission outside is much less likely than transmission inside. Also, she and the President were both wearing masks. That would further reduce the likelihood of transmission. Also, remember, the President had been boosted. Recent data from Pfizer shows the third dose, what we had been calling the booster, restores that vaccine's efficacy to about 95 % so I am sure the President also will be fine.

So if I tell you that if you are vaccinated, you have a... 99.999 % chance of not dying from this virus, what else in life gives you that kind of guarantee ? Our vaccines are exquisitely effective and very safe, but the news is just phenomenal with these vaccines, even with the super aggressive Delta variant, our vaccines work and they work really well.

The ER and ICU nurses. The respiratory techs. The people who staffed the vaccination clinics and gave shots to 300 million people, these are the people who really put this fire out. 3600 healthcare workers died during this pandemic. We should hear about the people who were essential workers who couldn't zoom for work. People who drove the buses. Police and fire. People who delivered food. This country was held together by the people in our communities who... fulfilled their responsibilities at great personal peril. I want to hear about how small businesses survived. There's so much to talk about. And it's so uplifting.

I've tried talking to young people, getting them to focus on the fact that about 500 Americans a day are still dying of Covid, but no 18-year-old thinks they're going to die from anything, so that didn't really resonate with them. But showing them they don't have to wear a mask -- that was the key.

If we had had a very simple electronic system from the beginning, basically Sanjay Gupta have a pass on Sanjay Gupta phone that turns green after Sanjay Gupta've been vaccinated, businesses and venues all over the country would be able to say,' Good news, if Sanjay Gupta have a green pass, Sanjay Gupta don't need to wear a mask,' we don't have that.

The way you would protect them, ideally, would be to know who's vaccinated and who's not vaccinated, and the unvaccinated folks would still be required to wear a mask. And this is where politics comes in, if we had had a very simple electronic system from the beginning, basically you have a pass on your phone that turns green after you've been vaccinated, businesses and venues all over the country would be able to say,' Good news, if you have a green pass you don't need to wear a mask.'.

And that was really the story of the pandemic in 1918 -- the flu pandemic. We had a U-shaped curve. It was the young and the old dying for different reasons, but the reason the young died was because they had a vigorous immune response -- the so-called cytokine storm, where your body makes immunological proteins that actually cause harm.

Ultimately, everyone has to be vaccinated, and if you end up vaccinating older people, you'll save their lives because they're at higher risk. And if you vaccinate younger people, you'll save lives also because they're spreading the virus.

When I see people in clinic, I talk about the vaccine every single day. I'm trying to reduce vaccine hesitancy, and the strongest weapon I have is the data. I can tell people that these two vaccines have been studied in 70,000 people -- more than 70,000 people -- in this two-dose strategy. And when given that way, they're both 95 % effective, and basically no one gets critically ill if you get this vaccine. ... Once you break from the data, I can no longer say that.

I think Tony Fauci should disregard any kind of media clearance from White House and do whatever media Tony Fauci wants to do whenever Tony Fauci wants to do it, tony Fauci would be Tony Fauci public service.

We know that dexamethasone does reduce the risk of mortality. That comes from data from a trial called the Recovery trial, but to show you what the stakes are, the patients in that trial who received dexamethasone and derived a benefit still had a 23 % 28-day mortality rate. So almost a quarter of the patients treated with dexamethasone were dead by a month out.
