New cases are up three — you know, three times since last month. LEMON: — especially around America. LEMON: Because you know the pandemic is a big concern for everyone, really, around the world —MR. But I have a couple questions I want to ask you.MR. LEMON: We’re going to get to the audience questions in just a moment. LEMON: You’d rather stand here and talk to these guys.THE PRESIDENT: I’m going to go out in the audience.
To get — there’s legitimate questions people can ask — that they worry about getting vaccinated — but the questions should be asked, answered, and people should get vaccinated.But this is not a pandemic. Ten thousand people have recently died 9,950 of them, thereabouts, are people who hadn’t been vaccinated.There’s a simple, basic proposition: If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in an ICU unit, and you’re not going to die.So it’s gigantically important that you act like — we all act like Americans that care about our — our fellow Americans. It’s that basic, that simple. Do you still feel that way? Is that still the case?THE PRESIDENT: Well, the virus — look, here’s the — it’s real simple: We have a pandemic for those who haven’t gotten a vaccination. Hospitalizations, death rising.So, you said last month that this — that the virus is in retreat.
You know, we’ve lost more people in the United States — over 630-some-thousand people than in every major war we’ve ever fought, in the United States of America. You know, the — this pandemic was out of control. LEMON: But what do you say to people who are worried about a new round of restrictions and mask mandates and so forth?THE PRESIDENT: Well, I’m saying — look — (laughs) — it’s a little bit like when I got elected.
If you do, you’re not likely to get sick. If you’re vaccinated, even if you do catch the “virus,” quote, unquote — like people talk about it in normal terms — you’re in overwhelm- — not many people do. This is overwhelming evidence to sustain that.And so, what I say to people who are worried about a new pandemic is: Get vaccinated.
She’s a Democrat currently running for her local school board.THE PRESIDENT: God love you. She’s a community resource director for a charter school. I want to introduce you to Andrea Granieri. You’re not going to be in a position where you — where your life is in danger.Q Well, let’s get to the questions, Mr.
“Soon” in the sense that I do not tell any scientists what they should do. President? Not to —THE PRESIDENT: Well, I — and let me he- — let me finish the question — the answer. LEMON: How soon is “soon,” Mr. Now, look, one of the things that I committed to do when I got elected — I said —MR. LEMON: Well, let me ask — let me follow up on her question, asking: When will children under 12 be able to get vaccinated?THE PRESIDENT: Soon, I believe.
LEMON: You said that you’re talking to scientists, though, but what — what are they telling you, Mr. LEMON: Well, that means — you mean for the FDA?THE PRESIDENT: The Federal Drug Administration.MR. I expect that to occur quickly.MR. That’s underway.Just like the other question, there’s a logical — and I’ve heard you speak about it because you always — I’m not being solicitous, but you — you’re always straight up about what you’re doing.And the question is whether or not we should be in a position where you are — why can’t the — the — the experts say, “We know that this virus is, in fact — it’s going to be…” — or, excuse me — “We know why all the drugs approved are not temporarily approved, but permanently approved.” That’s underway too. They’re trying to figure out whether or not there’s a vaccination that would affect one child that’s at such and such an age and not another child. When they are ready, when they’ve done all the scientific need to be done to determine children at ages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, they, in fact, are — all have different makeups.
There’s nothing — their fears. The truth is we haven’t said it enough to people to allay their feals. It’s been over two decades.So people said, “I’m not taking a drug that was approved so quickly.” It’s been two decades. There’s nothing quick about this. They’ve been working on it for two decades. Do it the way we would ordinarily do it.”Look, for example, everybody talks about how, you know, this virus came — this — this — the drugs that are designed to kill the virus came along so quickly.
Don Lemon Plus Others In
I want to stay on the subject. You’re not going to — you’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.MR. One last thing that’s really important is: We’re not in a position where we think that any virus — including the Delta virus, which is much more transmissible and more deadly in terms of non — unvaccinated people — the vi- — the various shots that people are getting now cover that. I — we don’t talk enough to you about this, I don’t think. It’s good.”But again, one last thing. Usually the process takes the better part of a year or more to get some of these things decided.But the expectation — they’re not promising me any specific date — but my expectation, talking to the group of scientists we put together — over 20 of them, plus others in the field — is that sometime maybe in the beginning of the school year — at the end of August, beginning of September, October — they’ll get a final approval saying the FDA said, “No, this is it.
(Applause.) I mean, literally listen to the scientists, and not interfere, not rush anything. (Applause begins.) No, I’m not joking. Spread of this misinformation and declining vaccination rates could leave Americans vulnerable to vaccine-preventable diseases in the future.So, what I want to know is: What is the White House doing to combat medical misinformation and to restore America’s faith in science?THE PRESIDENT: What we’re doing is, number one, to restore America’s faith in science is listen to the scientists. And I’m very concerned about the rise in misinformation from the anti-vaccine community that is eroding trust in lifesaving vaccines. I am a pediatrician who utilizes social media to educate about health. Thank you for taking my question, Mr.
