Summary

Data from Johns Hopkins University puts the number of United States deaths from the coronavirus this year at 353,000. However, there are promising trends such as a decline in hospitalizations and beds in the ICU occupied by COVID patients. Additionally, Pfizer submitted its request to federal regulators for emergency use authorization of its COVID vaccine for children from ages five to eleven. Senior Scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security Dr. Amesh Adalja, discusses these recent developments. Former Facebook Product Manager Frances Haugen is now known as the Facebook Whistleblower, after her recent testimony in front of the Senate's Consumer Protection Subcommittee. Haugen claimed that Facebook harms children, sows division, and undermines democracy in pursuit of breakneck growth and astronomical profits. FOX News Congressional Correspondent Aishah Hasnie covered the hearing and the aftermath. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
