Thats, what we are announcing thats, what we are announcing here today, a statewide requirement for in person instruction for all of our children. We intend to do that once the FDA has fully approved the vaccine to work with districts. Parents Californias, Covid, crack down intensifying as Governor Gavin Newsom, making his state the first required Covid 19 vaccinations K through twelve students pending FDA approval, with no testing alternative. Is that really following the science Dr Marc Siegel, joins me now good morning, always great to see you im? Will? How are you cooking? Will im okay, im going to be with real with Y im fired up about this? Do I try to read as much as possible when it comes to this pandemic and everything I have read? Every bit of data and science suggests there is very little risk to

kids and cannot be rationale for mandating a medical procedure mandating a medical procedure for children vaccine approved for ages five to eleven, but we havent seen any data on that and its not approved forever ages. Five to one and teachers by the way, have an opt out clause in California, where they can get tested instead of the vaccine. Children. Here we go again, bullying our kids and on a different teachers, have thats number one will number two. I talk to this week on the FDA Advisory Committee and he is probably the top virologist in the country for children. I asked if he would give this to his five or 10 year old. He says I dont know because I havent seen the data, and I said you mean the FDA hasnt brought in its advisory committee on this.

He said I dont know. If they will. I wrote a piece about this in the hill yesterday guess what yesterday afternoon the FDA contacted me they are bringing in advisory committee. I say if Paul would give it to his 5 year old. I would give it to a 5 year old, thats, the criteria the advisory committee uses they look over the data and they say you know will, should you give it to your 10 year old? They are going to decide that and I would go by what they say at least they are being brought in this time will, in the limited amount of time we have left. I have to ask you about this. Merck has a new drug out a shot at it? You got it right. Will you did im impressed by myself that drug that drug apparently has a fifty percent reduction in hospitalizations when it comes to code its oral, I believe pill that you take, but what is interesting is studies out of Harvard, for example, if I mentioned the drug that shall not be mentioned, Ivermectin, that drug has reduced hospitalizations by as much as eighty percent

and that drug by the way is generic and not as much money to be made as prescribing Ivermectin. Why this is a break through with Mercks drug. I like the way Merck studied this drug. I, like seven hundred and seventy five kids, looked at late stage trials, death and hospitalization by fifty percent. I like the idea that, if you do testing at home early exposed and early symptoms that you could give it really early and prevent even more disease from occurring so to your point about other drugs. That is fair. Your point is fair. These drugs should be tested and looked at absolutely will its a positive sign that Merck might have therapeutic drug for feel take, but its going to be under patent its going to be expensive and makes you question why other theyre pewtherapeutics have Bee

bow continue, including plasma when its cheap, it gets put to the side wrong. Absolutely wrong. Will thats exactly right. Dr Marc Siegel, always good to talk to you. Thanks will will buy Dr Siegels Book Cody, the politics of fear and the power of science.
