Dr. Marty Makary, one of Dom Giordano’s favorite guests and author of The Price We Pay: What Broke American Health Care and How to Fix It, rejoins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss new developments centered around the Coronavirus pandemic. First, Giordano and Makary discuss the new Delta variant of the virus, and news that the Pfizer vaccine may not be as efficient against the new variant. Makary notes that one should continue to feel great about their chances and continue living their lives as though they’re protected from the virus. Makary further explains the Delta variant, and explains what to watch for as more information comes out. Then, Makary gives an update on the herd immunity status of the United States public. Makary tells that we’ve reached the former definition of herd immunity back in late April of this year, but the goalposts continue to move. Makary explains that herd immunity used to be when the majority of the public is protected against a threat, but that is no longer the case. (Photo by Getty Images)
