Summary

In the days following President Biden's announcement that the Department of Labor will require companies with more than one hundred employees to mandate COVID-19 vaccines or face weekly testing, a panel of outside experts that advises the FDA rejected giving boosters to most Americans. On top of that, schools across the U.S. haven't even been in session for a month in many locations, and hundreds of schools have stopped in-person learning temporarily due to COVID-19 spread. Dr. Ali Mokdad is a Professor of Health Metrics Sciences at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, and provides answers to the COVID unknown. There are no longer any U.S. troops on Afghanistan soil, and the Taliban has overthrown the government. Afghan women are afraid to leave their homes, ISIS-K's presence is rampant throughout the nation, and citizens are fleeing to Pakistan out of fear. America's Newsroom co-anchor and host of the Hemmer Time podcast, Bill Hemmer speaks to FOX News Foreign Correspondent, Trey Yingst, about his experience on the ground in Kabul.
