The FTC banned non-compete agreements, which currently keep 30 million workers, nearly one in five, from changing jobs. This rule will increase wages by at least $400 billion over the next 10 years. Now, as we were working day in, day out to get this bill passed, President Biden was also working with President Zelenskyy to talk through how President Zelenskyy was thinking about the issue of mobilization and getting enough forces forward to the fight. So, you put all that together and I think the calculus of the Russians or the critics of Ukraine who say, “Time is on Russia’s side” — they’ve got it wrong. We believe that the structural dynamics of this conflict favor the country defending its own territory. We believe that occupation and invasion saps the will and vitality of a nation over time.
Blinken: Russia would struggle in Ukraine without China’s support
For months, we’ve been working with governors, pharmacies, community health centers, and other partners to plan for this moment. Another study — now from Brazil, South Africa, and United States with cumulative data of 10,000 participants. And, again, in the two-month interim analysis, the efficacy against symptomatic disease in those who received the third dose versus the second dose was 95.6 percent. This is an Israeli study that has looked at individuals who — after their second dose compare to their third dose.

Even in our updated data, unvaccinated people are at 14 times greater risk of dying from COVID-19 than people who are vaccinated. While the actions of the FDA and CDC represent an important step forward in our vaccination program, we are not losing sight of the goal to vaccinate all who are eligible with their primary vaccine series. Forty-seven million eligible American adults and more than twelve million teens are still not fully vaccinated and remain at highest risk of disease. And what the President wants to do is give the middle class a break. And you — you’ve seen that from his legis- — from legislation that’s been passed and trying to — and trying to make sure that we do not leave communities behind, communities have been behind — left behind for decades now. And so, that’s what we’re going to keep saying, keep calling on.

And — and we’ll let the universities handle that process on how they’re — how they’re dealing on the ground. And, of course, in the immediate aftermath of it, he picked up the phone and called Bibi Netanyahu. And what we have seen since then, as I was speaking about before with respect to the provision and facilitation of humanitarian assistance, has been a significant difference.

The Omicron variant undoubtedly compromises the effects of a two-dose mRNA vaccine-induced antibodies and reduces the overall protection. However, as I showed on a prior slide, considerable protection still maintains against severe disease. Now, if you look at the UK Data, if you look at the Delta in the blue boxes, you see that effectiveness is significantly lower when you look at the time since the vaccine was given, measured in weeks.

And as President, you know, as Commander-in-Chief, where he sits right now, behind that Resolute Desk, and what he understands, it’s important to speak out. And he understands that, as a leader in this country, that when we see this type of antisemitic hate, this type of antisemitic vile — vile, we have to be very clear. As it relates to the bill — the law now — there’s time. There are already American investors who are — who are willing and are interested in buying TikTok.
"Look, I don't have a crystal ball to predict the future, but the President's national security adviser is General McMaster. He is a valued member of the President's team and an important part of this process," Sanders said. In addition to getting Americans their boosters, vaccination requirements are driving more and more people to get their first shot. In fact, just across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, we got 3 million booster shots into arms — a million booster shots per day. Now, if you look at this again — I want to show it because the results in that same study are really dramatic.

And part of that is about what the U.S. industrial base can produce. Part of it is about what the Europeans have stepped up to do in really significant ways over the course of the — the last six months. And we are urging them to keep that going, even as the U.S. has delivered $60 billion. Part of that is about the Ukrainian capacity itself. And then, of course, we are adding new capabilities like the ATACMS. I can’t speak beyond that because, of course, we’re in the early days of fully understanding what happened.
But when we’re talking about hateful rhetoric, when we’re talking about violence, we have to call that out. There’s time — there’s time — there’s certainly time on the books to see how this plays out. But we’ll stay in close touch not just with the Israelis, but with the United Nations. In fact, on a daily basis, at senior levels, we’re talking to the U.N.
Let me close by underscoring that continued progress requires everyone doing their part. So if you’re unvaccinated or eligible for a booster, please go get your shot. And it will help all of us stay safe this winter.
That goes to show you how closely they are following the — the U.S. Congress, because it means the difference between having them — the tools they need to put up that fight effectively and not having those tools. But I think really what this weekend showed is that, at the end of the day, despite substantial effort by a lot of parties, including the Russians, to figure out a way to not have this bill pass, it has passed.
But before I start talking about boosters, let me reiterate something that Dr. Walensky just said. First, let’s talk about why this recommendation was made now. CDC is continuously monitoring the state of the pandemic, and our current surveillance shows a rise in cases over the past few weeks. Heading into the winter months when respiratory viruses are more likely to spread and with plans for increased holiday season travel and gathering, boosting people’s overall protection against COVID-19 disease and death was important to do now.
And, of course, it provides timely support to our allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific as well. However, the two-dose mRNA vaccinated people who received a booster dose — look — had a substantial increase in neutralizing activity to the tune of a 38-fold increase. James was absent from a press briefing Friday given by student protest organizers at Columbia. Other organizers declined to provide specifics and pointed to a statement James put out Friday on X, formerly Twitter.
At the same time, Biden has faced increasing pressure from young voters and the left flank of his party over his unwavering support of Israel's war in Gaza following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel. President Joe Biden this week called on Americans to speak out against the "alarming surge of antisemitism" in the U.S. following pro-Palestinian protests that have rocked Columbia University and other colleges and universities. Protests over Israel's war in Gaza continued Friday on major college campuses across the U.S. The student, Khymani James, says in a video taken in January, "Zionists don’t deserve to live” and “Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists." James refers to Zionists as "supporters of genocide." And we encourage organizations around the country to adopt similar measures to keep their workers safe.
Russia is going to continue to press its attacks against Ukrainian defenses. But for the reasons that I have laid out, over time, we assess that Ukraine’s position in this conflict will improve, and we believe that Ukraine can and will win. We are also providing Ukraine with new capabilities. I’m able to confirm, as you’ve heard from others, that in February the President directed his team to provide Ukraine with a significant number of ATACMS missiles for use inside Ukraine’s sovereign territory.
And I think the message that that sends is that, at the end of the day, when push comes to shove, the United States is going to be there with the resources necessary for Ukraine. We also received a series of commitments from the Israeli government with respect to the facilitation of humanitarian assistance. And despite the challenges that I’ve just described, I think it is very important for us to underscore that as we look ahead to the rest of 2024, our view is that Ukraine retains key advantages in this fight. Uk- — Ukraine can and will prevail, and that will be thanks to the bravery of its people but also the support of its friends.
