Summary

The Supreme Court will hear challenges to President Biden's Coronavirus vaccine mandates that would cover about 100 million Americans. One mandate covers employees of large businesses. The other would impact health care workers. The Biden Administration says they're both necessary to cope with the pandemic. Opponents accuse the White House of government overreach. Shannon Bream, anchor of FOX News at Night and FOX News Chief Legal Correspondent, breaks down the legal arguments for both sides and how the recent surge in COVID cases could actually hurt the Biden Administration's case. The FDA has approved the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 booster for children ages 12 to 17 and the CDC recently revised isolation times for those testing positive for COVID-19, but now many anxiously await what the future holds for schools, students, and hospitals in the face of the Omicron variant. Johns Hopkins University infectious disease specialist Dr. Amesh Adalja joins to break down why schools should remain open given the tools we have to protect students and teachers, confusion surrounding shifting guidelines, and what Omicron means for the next stage of the pandemic. Don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers. Plus, commentary by FOX News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
