Summary

Vaccine advisers to the CDC voted unanimously to recommend an extra dose of the Covid-19 vaccine for some immunocompromised people. The FDA had already authorized a third dose in certain patients who are likely to have had a poor response to two doses of either Pfizer or Moderna’s vaccine. Dr. Peter Hotez is the co-director for the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children’s Hospital. He joins AC360 to discuss the CDC’s recommendation. Plus, John Cohen, the Homeland Security Intelligence chief told CNN online extremist rhetoric is strikingly similar to the buildup to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger is a member of the bipartisan House select committee that’s investigating the insurrection. He tells Anderson Cooper conspiracy theories and false narratives can grow into action and “it’s a real concern.” Airdate: Friday August 13, 2021 Guests: Dr. Peter Hotez Rep.

0:32.8	bulletin.
0:33.8	The way that they look at these potential terrorists is really in two camps.
0:37.4	The first, people who could be radicalized by foreign groups like Al-Qaeda.
