there's going to be a lot of them there are some hospitals and universities that are expected to mandate vaccination once the full approval hits the pentagon said earlier this month that they are planning to make covet vaccines mandatory for the roughly NUMBER_TOKEN million active duty troops no later than the middle of next month but even sooner if the fda grants that full approval which we're now expecting any moment uh now i mentioned that this is approval of a two-dose regimen you might be saying well david hold on last week you mentioned now there's a recommendation for a third shot at the eight month mark but the approval is only for two shots that's exactly right um that is the biden administration announced you should at the eight month mark start getting yourself a third dose uh the the approval right now that's been submitted by pfizer which was submitted months ago is for a two-dose regimen so the expectation is once this is approved on the two-dose regimen the um pfizer will immediately submit to the fda for expedited approval of that third booster shot and then we'll see how long that takes so the bottom line here is when we looked at what the reasons why those who didn't want the vaccine didn't want the vaccine about a third said i will get it if and only if it receives a full fda approval that's going to happen i suspect not a full third of those who are against the vaccine are going to go and get it once it's approved i think it will have an impact how big it will be i don't know now one bit of good news recently by the way after a really long period of declines in daily vaccination in the u.s and then very slow ascent we are now back to three consecutive days with one million doses per day with roughly about NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN people each day being newly receiving one dose that's very good news NUMBER_TOKEN million americans have now received at least one dose of the vaccine and in terms of what would work to better incentivize people to go and get vaccinated remember that when uh joe biden encouraged and new york city announced a hundred bucks if you go and get yourself vaccinated the hundred bucks didn't really seem to be very influential to people and there was a poll done and the most effective hypothetical requirement requirement was if you needed a vaccine to fly NUMBER_TOKEN of anti-vaxxers said they would go and get themselves vaccinated that seems to be a really big deal uh and then as we're going to talk about a little bit later on in the program i suspect that if you made copays NUMBER_TOKEN instead of NUMBER_TOKEN bucks like imagine you have insurance where your co-payment is twenty dollars or maybe in the emergency room maybe in the er you know it's two hundred dollars three hundred dollars if you make it fifty percent co-insurance if you're not vaccinated meaning if you're not vaccinated and you need to go to the hospital for covid you pay NUMBER_TOKEN no more co-pay i think a ton of these people would go and get themselves vaccinated it's not clear anything like that is on the horizon uh but needless to say i think it's something that would very much work let's be honest most healthy snack bars are not exciting like my live streams and that's
