This is houston matters. Craig cohen but twenty years ago. I had a run in with a then famous comedian. Who behaved badly. Here's the short short version. I made arrangements interview the man after a show of his. That did not go well in front of my family who had just watched his unfortunately unfunny set he began ranting and raving and insulting me and at first it seemed like part of his act. He was an insult comic but soon it was clear he wasn't joking. So i packed up my equipment and walked away from the interview. My dad who witnessed the whole thing had a few choice. Words foreign about the man and i will be forever thankful for dead coming to my defense. I'll never know what set him off. It may have been the show itself the material that didn't work the light turnout in the club. Maybe he was just an lousy mood. Maybe that was just who he was. I bring it up now because this man who wronged me early in my career died last month. And when i heard i realized i had no compassion for him that fleeting incident that personal slide had left me cold about the guy. Good riddance thought. What a terrible thought to have. But i had it. I witnessed a similar lack of sympathy from others over the weekend. Here in the houston area is word.

I mean that tells the whole story that number you just gave us but right now as we look at this delta variant spreading in texas and florida and other places across the country. How many of your hospitals hospitalized patients are vaccinated less than two percent so ninety eight percent more than ninety percent of the people who are currently hospitalized in a regular hospital bed. Icu are those who have not been vaccinated more than ninety eight percent so doctor. What is the way out of this from your point of view. We've seen great efforts made at the federal state and local level to get people vaccinated. What more can be done in your eyes. You just told the whole story right there. It's a snapshot of what's happening in the country. What more needs to be done to get more people vaccinated You really on point about the safety and the effectiveness of the vaccine. Unfortunately now you asked me what can be done right now. I am even if the entire population got vaccinated today. We're still talking about three weeks to a month from now when begins to impact but there are things that we have done collectively as a society that got us through the last two kobe. nineteen surges. were very effective. You know when the numbers were going up there was a face mask mandate there was the closure of bars that was capping of the restaurant. Those worked with in two weeks up. Those mandates numbers began to go down. The are the point right now. This is almost like a runaway train. If we don't use everything that is at our disposal we are heading into some really really dark times likes of which we have not seen previously. And i don't. I don't get the sense that the public understands that. The governor of your state governor avid has shown an unwillingness to support mass mandates. in fact. He's he's fighting. The idea of mass mandates was one of the earliest states to open up After the initial stages of this pandemic last year in the state actually did pretty well after that. What would be your message to governor abbott and other governors across the country who are fighting these measures. That you just described like mask mandates in schools. I think but i heard at the top of the hour It's a really good message. Allow the localities to what is needed to address the situation in their areas. You know it again not being tired at texas. It's it's the same. There are areas that are doing a lot worse than others. Allow the elected officials to do what needs to be done. What what can be done at this point To get us over this search dr s mile porsche. Presidency of harris health system in texas. Thank you for your time this morning and thank you for the work. You're doing inside. Your hospitals will be checking back in with you one more story out of texas. A republican official in the state has lost his fight against cove. Nineteen h scott. Apple was a member of the dickinson city council. Before contracting the virus his social media messages include anti mask and anti vaccine rhetoric according to local reports he was admitted to a galveston hospital two days after his last post on facebook which mocked the fan pandemic. He was forty five years old. Joe truly a tragedy to see that gentleman lose his life and so many of the people that we've been hearing about as they're put on respirators or put on ventilators as they lay in those beds. Ask for the vaccine. But it's late. It's tragic and unnecessary. Unfortunately too many friends that have not gotten the vaccine. And i know a friend who is struggling mightily right now. without a vaccine and At this point all you can do for is is pray for them. But i sure wish that Officials party were more aggressive and and snuffing out Some of the misinformation that is killing people. President biden recently announced one hundred million doses of the vaccine have been shipped overseas to help the international battle The international battle against the virus. Nbc news senior investigative legal correspondent. Cynthia mcfadden has more on why. That's so important for the fight against the pandemic right here. In the us and international pandemic requires an international response and that was the idea behind kovacs. A multibillion dollar alliance launched to ensure that poor countries would get access to the lifesaving vaccines. It hasn't entirely worked out that way now. Nearly eighteen months into the pandemic kovacs has delivered vaccine to one hundred and thirty eight countries but still only about fifteen percent of the world's population is fully vaccinated with the highest numbers found in the world's richest countries. The greatest threat to our vaccination effort at all is our failure to invest adequately vaccination abroad the delta varian that we are suffering now is a byproduct of the virus spreading unchecked abroad in march. We were given exclusive access to the rollout of nearly nine hundred thousand. Kovacs vaccines in uganda. Enough to fully vaccinate about one percent of the population distribution is time consuming and expensive which we saw a unicef team delivered forty precious doses to the bouma islands. It's wonderful to have this and yet it's much smaller amount than you'd hope. Dr larry brilliant help to radical smallpox. He says we cannot wait to vaccinate the rest of the world. We really have a choice in front of us either. We explored vaccine manufacturing. Factories are will import from those same countries and others variance so while the biden administrations gift of one hundred million doses with a promise of more to come is welcome. It still leaves kovacs woefully under resource. Perhaps the minister of health in uganda said it best. I'm every human life marcus. We have to hold hands together if we are.

"Even among black folks could work from home and eight times greater increase than among white folks could work from home for people had to go into their places of work desimone. Black folks increased about three times more than people once again. You were better off being a white person who had to go to an inner person job every day throughout the first few months of pandemic then being a black person who had the option to work from home. Across all of these different subcategories one thing remains constant. All of those really tall tear. Barak -til bars towering over a bunch of small bars. Those are black americans dying and our higher rates no matter how you slice the data. What you're looking there on your screen when you look at these. Graphs is the ubiquity race particularly structural racism against black people that has existed in this country since before. Its founding that is produced the conditions wherever population in this country that is more vulnerable to a respiratory virus a virus that of course has no idea what resetting one is because of all that population has been subjected through through the years for segregation dispossession leading to black people living in areas where poor air quality and having much higher rates of commodities all the accrued legacy of structural racism. This is the result. This is what it looks like. Computer make the argument that race that anti black racism in particular is the central story in this country these graphs show what that means in a tangible sense for arguably the most important thing we have for all of us which is how long we get to stay on this planet. Scott aptly was the kind of purchase new mix of the backbone of state political parties across the country. You can find them in any state. It was a city council member in dickinson texas. That's his state an official in the galveston republican party. He was active in local conservative politics and on twitter where he frequently posts bible verses and engaged in right wing causes back in april. Dr liana win posted. A benign tweet about the vaccine athlete older in response quote. You're an absolute enemy of a free people. Telling her to shove the carrot where the sun don't shine on sunday. Scott apple was admitted to the hospital and he was diagnosed with kovin he succumbed to the disease early. This morning he was forty five years old. He leaves behind a wife and an infant son. Texas republican party put out a statement celebrating appleans life offering prayers for family. It's notable the statement doesn't mention the circumstances of his death because in this bizarre alternate reality. That's been constructed in some corners. The american right in the pandemic age. You can't admit code is out there and that it's dangerous and it's deadly and it leads to awful tragedy seen this before the former republican presidential candidate herman. Cain of course died from cova complications. After attending trump's campaign rally in tulsa trump offered his condolences on facebook but never mentioned the cause of herman cain staff to other national. Republican politicians also died from cova and there. Was this strange. Air that hung over there too because republicans have created this view. The virus isn't that bad or that dangerous so they can't really say anything about it. Texas congressman ron right. Who had lung cancer died after contracting the virus earlier this year at the age of sixty seven texas. Gop released a statement on his death that did not mention covert louisiana. Gop did not mention cove it in their statement. Either after congressman elect luke. Let low passed away from code at the age of forty one weeks before he was eligible for the vaccine just days before he should have been sworn into congress. His widow widow julia. Let low took a seat in congress. And now seven months after her husband's death she's telling her story and urging others to get the shots someone asks what would you. What would you tell somebody who on the fence about possibly receiving the vaccine. And i said i tell them about luke. Tell them a story. I would have given anything out of given everything for that. Shot to be available for us. I mean looking back now and for someone to turn it away. i just. It's heartbreaking to me. It is a horrific way to leave this world. I don't wish it on any one else. We have the answer. Not that it's so important for folks congresswoman let low to come out and to tell her story endorsed the vaccines and we're seeing more of that. A lot of it from political leaders has been driven by some serious regrets by a bunch of republicans particularly who just didn't say anything for a long time and now are staring into the abyss. That includes arkansas. Governor hutchinson regretting a ban on mask mandates but finding it hard to get it reversed the quandary for governor hutchinson and other republicans next arkansas.
