>> i, 100%, agree, pamela. i know that this has created some confusion because the cdc is not really going this far. but we have to remember, the cdc made a recommendation, based on the latest data about the v vaccines and how well they work. and they left it open for schools to recommend masking. the american academy of pediatrics, i believe, is stepping in and filling in that gap. and saying to make this practical, to make this, actually, enforceable, we are going to recommend that everyone in schools goes ahead and wears a mask. and that is truly the best way to stop this virus from spreading in schools. and to get kids back in school, safely. >> and the cdc does say that kids over 2, right, should wear a mask if they are indoors. earlier-this month, the cdc issued new-school guidance saying in-person learning is critical, this year. but only recommending masks for students who haven't been fully vaccinated. during cnn's town hall meeting with president biden, last week, he hinted that was going to change. w

i'm pamela brown in washington. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. you are live in the cnn newsroom on this sunday. covid cases continue to rise across the united states, and doctors say the patients they're seeing are younger and younger. clearly the delta variant is behind these increases, and just as clearly, the lagging vaccination rates are making it worse. less than half the u.s. population is fully vaccinated. and medical officials say what seems bad now is only likely to get worse. >> i am worried about what is to come. we are seeing increasing cases among unvaccinated in particular. while if you are vaccinated, you are very well protected against hospitalization and death, unfortunately, that's not true if you are vaccinated. we're seeing 99.5% of deaths right now from covid-19 in our country happening among the unvaccinated. >> so your risk of catching the delta variant is specially high if these 12 states right here on the screen. they haven't even gotten to a 40% vaccination rate. alabama, georgia, idaho, oklahoma, south carolina, tenness

cnn's pamela brown broke the story. she joins us now. pamela, one year ago democrats were calling the lab leak theory xenophobic, unscientific. what's going on? >> reporter: you know that there is the 90-day review of covid origins that president biden ordered. we've learned that several biden administration officials including his national security adviser believed that the theory that the coronavirus accidently escaped from a lab in wuhan is at least as credible as the possibility it emerged naturally from an animal directly to a human.

the progressive american ideas racialized in france as he put it, will get some insight on, but from pamela guest, essentially, trying to use an american blueprint for french, which is really very different from america. i think step backward than they and they start to break up. the idea of part being vaccinated doesn't always mean unrestricted travel at the moment. anyway, the european medicines agency is yet to approve still an indian version of an astrazeneca jobs that many in britain received ah.

our senior washington correspondent pamela birm is joining us here in the situation room. what are you learning? >> reporter: wolf, we know the covid origins review is underway. we learned that several senior biden officials, including biden's national security adviser jake sullivan, believed the theory that the coronavirus accidentally escaped from a lab in wuhan is as credible as the possibility as it emerges naturally from an animal to a human. this is from sources familiar with the covid origins review. this does not mean they believe the virus was engineered in a lab or was intentionally released, but rather it could have been studied in a lab and then escaped accidentally. but this is a dramatic shift from a year ago when democrats publically down played the so-called lab leak theory and president trump politicizing the virus. it is important to note this is the view of some senior biden officials involved with the intelligence review. there are scientists who study coronaviruses and who have investigated the origins of the pandemic who still say the evidence strongl

pamela brown, thanks. josh rogan is a "washington post" columnist and is the author of "chaos under heaven: trump, xi, and the battle for the 21st century." josh, you broke a story about two diplomatic cables from the state department that warned of safety issues within wuhan lab a couple of years ago. it's certainly not a smoking gun, the cables. but they did warn of risky coronavirus research and bad safety procedures. and that, if it's not a smoking gun, it's certainly, you know, a whiff of smoke. >> right. it's just to say there have been concerns for a long time about the risky bat coronavirus research that was going on in a series of chinese labs including the wuhan institute of virology. that doesn't tell us about the outbreak because the cables were written two years prior. but it tells us we can't rule out that the lab was involved somehow so we need to investigate it, which is all that dr. tedros ghebreyesus is saying. the issue of the lab leak theory became highly politicized last year for a num
