WATCH: White House holds briefing after Biden signs Ukraine, Israel aid bill into law PBS NewsHour

white house press briefing

On the right-hand part of the slide, one month after the third dose, take a look now again at the purple bar, which has gone up substantially from the 6, which is circled on the left, to 154. Again, this is one of a number of representative studies. Clearly, because — first slide please — clearly because we have an intense interest on the evolving scenario with Omicron, a number of studies have been done throughout the country and the world to take a look at how we might prepare in the context of vaccinations. And I’ll divide it up into two components. Opt in to send and receive text messages from President Biden.

As is shown here, this is not looking at booster, it’s looking at the effectiveness of a two-dose Pfizer vaccine against the Omicron variant. But longer term, it remains uncertain if Ukraine — after months of losses in Eastern Ukraine and sustaining massive damage to its infrastructure — can make enough progress to sustain American political support before burning through the latest influx of money. When a reporter asked where it might happen, noting the White House wouldn't want to hold the meeting in "downtown Pyongyang," Sanders said. "We won't have those conversations between me and the press. Those conversations will take place at a much higher level." White House press secretary Sarah Sanders was just asked why Trump accepted the meeting with North Korea's Kim Jong Un without "preconditions," such as the release of the three Americans that are being held there.

The safety data showed that serious adverse events after a booster dose are rare and, in general, people had fewer reactions after their third dose than after their second dose. Reactions that did occur included the previously seen sore arms, headaches, and joint aches. We’re not saying we do not want TikTok to exist. We’re not saying that we do not want Americans to use TikTok.

White House: Still working on timing and location of meeting with Trump and Kim Jong Un

And Dr. Kessler, you know, last month sort of hinted that that was sort of under consideration. I mean, are you considering using the DPA to take action against Moderna for technology transfer? We started with about 20,000 sites for adolescents — sorry, for 5- to 11-year-olds to get vaccinated — places like pediatrician’s offices, children’s hospitals, in place- — in local pharmacies where parents and kids are comfortable, and trusted providers. Increasingly, tests are being sold in single packs, making them more convenient and affordable. So overall, we will have about a half billion tests per month by the end of this year. About half of those will be the increasingly popular and convenient at-home tests, so this is well timed for the holiday season.

Trump's lawyer used Trump Organization email in Stormy Daniels deal

And we are prepared to get boosters to all adults as they are eligible — six months after the second shot for Pfizer and Moderna or two months after J&J. This slide makes it a little bit more graphic. These three boxes here show what the effect is on hospitalization; severe, in the middle; and death, on the right.

Sarah Sanders said President Trump's "maximum pressure campaign" is what ultimately brought North Korea's Kim Jong Un to the table. President Trump was upset with Sanders over her responses Wednesday regarding his alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels, a source close to the White House told CNN. "I don't. We've addressed this extensively and I don't have anything else to add." Biden and Xi spoke for nearly two hours as the White House looked to deter Beijing from providing military or economic assistance for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said it’s “absurd” to pretend that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was not involved in the North Korea discussions Thursday and defended reports that the Pentagon was left out of the loop. A second reporter later asked if Trump remembers speaking with his lawyer about the arbitration involving Stormy Daniels, or meeting her. A reporter pressed further and asked if McMaster would leave "anytime soon." Earlier this month, an administration official told CNN McMaster could leave the White House by the end of March.

And, you know, we are insisting that that happen, in addition to ensuring the safety and protection of the people of Rafah. Until recently, as we’ve said on many occasions, we were unable to provide these ATACMS because of readiness concerns. But behind the scenes, the administration across the board has worked relentlessly to address those concerns.

Background Press Call by Senior Administration Officials on Iran’s Attacks Against the State of Israel

So, look, I would say, more broadly — and I said this moments ago — this is a deeply painful, painful moment for many communities, and we understand that. But the President believes that free speech, debate, and nondiscrimination on college campuses are important. And that — and so, he’ll always be very clear — we will always be very clear about here — about that here. The Lad- — Labor Department is also protecting retirement security by requiring financial advisors to act in the saver’s best interest, not their own. This will save millions of Americans thousands of dollars for their retirement accounts.

Over the past six months, Ukraine has had to ration ammunition, and that has resulted in the loss of some territory in the east, including the city of Avdiivka. But it was also a reminder, in getting to see her, that there are still Americans and others being held hostage by Hamas. And we’re working day in, day out to ensure all of them also are able to get safely home to their loved ones.

And that’s true of Democrats, it’s true of Republicans, it’s true of independents. And that’s what’s shown through in the votes, both in the House and the 79-vote aye vote outcome we saw in the Senate last night. However, if you look at two weeks post the third dose, note the substantial degree of elevation of the neutralizing titer well within the range of neutralizing Omicron. And most recent data from our own Vaccine Research Center, which is the first in a series of data that will be coming out over the next few days and be published in a preprint server next week, this is a sampling of the data. If you look on the left-hand part of the slide, this is 21 days after the second dose of the Pfizer product.

To be clear, the goal of vaccination requirements is to protect workers, not to punish them. So tonight’s deadline is not an endpoint or a cliff. We continue to see more and more federal employees getting their shots. Ahead of tonight’s deadline, the federal government has achieved 95 percent compliance and 90 percent of the 3.5 million federal workers are already vaccinated. So we are successfully implementing vaccination requirements for the largest workforce in the United States, with federal employees in every part of the nation and around the world.
