Summary

Americans are understandably on edge due to COVID and the Delta variant. Kids are going back to school at the same time pediatric hospitalization rates continue to rise across the country. There is also a lot of uncertainty about so-called 'breakthrough infections' and how common they really are. Fox News Medical Contributor Dr. Marty Makary joins the Rundown to discuss the risk the Delta variant poses to children, why he thinks we should 'destigmatize' COVID 'breakthrough' cases and why he believes some strict guidelines and mandates are unfairly alienating a portion of unvaccinated people. Is it true that the more education you have, the more money you will make? In many cases, yes. But that doesn't mean graduates are getting the best bang for their buck. As student loan debt goes up, some are beginning to wonder if even elite master's degrees are worth their high cost. Higher Education reporter for the Wall Street Journal, Melissa Korn, discusses how many students graduate from elite masters programs with six figures of debt, but without a salary high enough to pay it off. Plus, commentary by FOX News contributor Joe Concha. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
