"The numbers are deeply concerning," said Murthy. "We have seen data on data from excessive Delta variant cases in recent weeks. And what height could they go? It's an open question. But I think there are some things buried in The data that is very important to recognize. The number one is that the vast majority of people who find themselves in the hospital and who lose their lives are those unvaccinated, which means that thevaccinations do their job to prevent people from the hospital and save lives. Recently, one million vaccinations have been administered every day, an increase ".

What we have seen. During this pandemic, it is that Covid, fortunately is not as severe in children than in the elderly. Thank you for kindness for that. But We had hundreds of children who lost their lives in Covid. We have thousands who are hospitalized, and at the moment we have more children hospitalized with Covid than any other point in this pandemic. And it is because of the variant of delta and the way that it is contagious. We must absolutely take every effort possible to protect our children from this virus. Is our moral responsibility as human beings, as adults. "

We have a list of childhood vaccines, for example, that parents must ensure that their children have before. start the school. It's just a more example of that.

The General Surgeon said it was the way in which the complete approval of the FDA of the vaccine against Pfizer - expected tomorrow you affect
Full approval of the FDA's Pfizer vaccine should come tomorrow - "This is important for two reasons," said Murthy. "We are my belief is the number one, there were people who could wait for that and that could come out of the fence, in order to speak, to be vaccinated. This could help increase to a certain extent the rates of Vaccination, but I also think there are universities and companies that plan to put in place vaccination requirements to create a work environment or a work environment or learning environment. And I think. This announcement of the FDA would probably encourage them and make them feel more comfortable in the ease requirements in place. "

The general surgeon said we had to stimulate the Americans and vaccinate the world
There have been criticism of the idea of offering boosters to the Americans - from the eighth month of their last shots of Pfizer and Moderna, when so many people around the world have not had their first shot. "It's a crucial issue because we know that to end this pandemic and prevent the development of future variants," Murthy said. "So we need to vaccinate both America and the world, and we have no choice. We can do one or the other. We have to do both in this way. Assuming that the vaccines for Americans remove vaccines for the rest of the world, the world supposes that the pie remains of the same size, but we have deployed a number of efforts in recent months to increase the size of the pie, in order to strengthen supply and do so, not just by donating our own doses, but in fact working with manufacturers to increase their production, as well as work with other countries to establish a local production of the vaccine and scale of the ladder. This is how we create enough vaccines for everyone and that you are assured grace. We will not stop in these efforts until America And the world are vaccinated. It's our commitment. "
