Michael Monks KFI. 119 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: News, Let's say good morning to ABC's Health and Science 120 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: reporter Mary Caocados. Mary, the CDC has made changes to 121 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: child vaccination recommendations, so let's dig into what those are. 122 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 8: Yeah. 123 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 12: Sure, so yesterday removed the universal recommendations for multiple shots 124 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 12: and what it's calling an attempt to mirror the schedules 125 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 12: of peer countries. So instead of universally recommended for almost 126 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 12: all children at a certain age, vaccines are now split 127 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 12: into three categories, vaccines for all children, vaccines for certain 128 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 12: high risk groups, and vaccines based on shared clinical. 129 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 13: Decision making, which is a term that the CDC uses 130 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 13: to say that parent to talk to their doctors about 131 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 13: what vaccines should be given and when. So some of 132 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 13: the vaccines and immunity immunizations that are no longer universally 133 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 13: recommended include RSV, flu, covid, and heptitis. And for most 134 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 13: children who don't fall into certain high risk groups, no 135 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 13: vaccines are recommended before the age of two months. So 136 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 13: it is a bit of a contrast between the old 137 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 13: schedule and the new schedule. 138 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: Okay, so Mary there, the vaccine thing is so interesting 139 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: to me because like when I was a kid, we had, 140 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: like I remember having to get a measles shot or 141 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: something before I could get into eighth grade. But I mean, 142 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: we didn't have this huge list of vaccines, and now 143 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: they're getting them like right when they're born. 144 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 13: Yeah, so the number of vaccines has increased over the years, 145 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 13: but doctors say this is as they've this is because 146 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 13: they found ways to prevent diseases that you to run 147 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 13: rampant through schools. Hepatitis BEE, for example, which was a 148 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 13: shot that was given at birth, now it was recommended 149 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 13: to be given later, was because mothers who were positive 150 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 13: for hepatitis B they were being missed. Cases were being 151 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 13: for false negatives and they were in fact false positives. 152 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 13: So we basically found ways to cut down on the 153 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 13: number of diseases that children would otherwise contract through these vaccines. 154 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 13: Doctors have said that vaccines they go through an intense 155 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 13: amount of scientific rigor, they are safe, they are effective, 156 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 13: and they really cut down on the number of communicable 157 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 13: diseases that kids now get. So stay on top of 158 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 13: a schedule, they say, is super important to ensure the 159 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 13: health of not only your child, but the health of 160 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 13: the community at large. 161 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: Okay, Now, with the CDC recommendations, it's not a mandate, right, 162 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: It's like, this is. 163 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 4: What we say you should do. 164 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: You should still get these, and then only certain people 165 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: should get these. But if, like if you're your mom 166 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: and dad and you go, I want my kids to 167 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: get all these vaccinations, you can still do that. 168 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 4: Is that correct? 169 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 13: Yes, that is correct. So the important thing to know 170 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 13: between whether it was the old schedule or the new 171 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 13: schedule is that neither of these are mandates. You can 172 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 13: still get these vaccines for your child based on the 173 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 13: old schedule if you want to. But the important thing 174 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 13: is just to talk to your doctor, whether it's your 175 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 13: kids pedatration, your family healthcare provider about what shots to get, 176 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 13: when to get them, and where you can get them, 177 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 13: and if you choose to follow the new schedule, same case. 178 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: Okay, so you're still getting the And for the ones 179 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: that are now saying don't you don't have to get this, 180 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: or they're not recommending that you get this, are they 181 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: still saying you should eventually get them, just not get 182 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: them as soon or just taking them off the table 183 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: unless you're high risk. 184 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 13: So for it depends on the vaccine. So for example, RSV, 185 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 13: which is an immunization as opposed to a vaccine, it 186 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 13: could just works a little bit differently. They recon that 187 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 13: kids get it based on the mother's vaccination status. For example, 188 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 13: if a mother received an RSV vaccine while she was 189 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,359 Speaker 13: pregged in if she did get one, then they're recommending 190 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 13: that the child no longer needs the RSV immunization. If 191 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 13: they didn't get one, then they're recommending that the child 192 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 13: should get it. So it just really depends on whether 193 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 13: or on like other factors, or if you fall into 194 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 13: a high risk group. 195 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: Okay, So the bottom line is pretty much, talk to 196 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: your doctor and get the vaccines that you think are 197 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: right for your kids. 198 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 4: That's right, okay, great. 199 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: ABC's health and Science reporter Mary Kakatos, thank you so 200 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 1: much for the information, super helpful. 201 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 3: Thank you for having me all right. 202 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: Good to know.

First of all, they want attorneys fees to 343 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 5: be paid, and they want to again compensatory damages I 344 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 5: assume would be the cost of the sandwich can, which 345 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 5: in some markets is almost eight dollars for the McRib 346 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 5: And then again these exemplar and the sort of the 347 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 5: nebulous thing is these is the exemplary the punitive damages. 348 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 5: How should McDonald's be puny if in fact they judge 349 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 5: or the jury sides with the plaintiffs in this case. 350 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 5: That's the big question, and it's really one that doesn't 351 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 5: have an answer right now. 352 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: I'm just curious about it, because again, if I was 353 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,239 Speaker 1: a judge, that go, okay, yes, McDonald's, you lied, and 354 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: here's your seven dollars back. Like I mean, because these huge, huge, 355 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: multi million dollars settlements, like the people were not damaged 356 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: by multimillions of dollars those four indiviately. 357 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 5: A tough thing to prove that the people have suffered 358 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 5: real damage is that you can quantify this as beyond 359 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 5: the price of the sandwich. If they feel they got 360 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 5: ripped off, then they want them money back for the sandwich. 361 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 5: How do you then prove that man I was really 362 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 5: injured by this.

This is sort of 366 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 5: the same thing, except this is serious. 367 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: Yeahs, and serious money is at stake. I just and 368 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: McDonald's had said I read that. They said, we didn't 369 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: say it was ribbed meat. We said it's one hundred 370 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: percent pork. 371 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 15: It is. 372 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's what they're saying.

The statement for McDonald's is the 374 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 5: lawsuit distorts the facts and many of the claims are inaccurate. 375 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 5: It says that the mccoreb is made with one hundred 376 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 5: percent pork sourced from farmers and suppliers across the US. 377 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 5: Doesn't say, though, that it's made with rib you know, 378 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 5: pork rib meat, which is a higher end product, right, 379 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 5: and then you'd expect to pay that much for it, 380 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 5: seven or eight dollars for a sandwich, but the stuff 381 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 5: that it's made from the plant of say, it's not 382 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 5: worth nearly that much. 383 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 4: Okay. 384 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: I just think it's sort of like McDonald's chicken nuggets. 385 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: You know, parts is parts, you know, and it's whatever.

It's kind of ridiculous 663 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 16: to say start saving for Christmas in January, but really 664 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,399 Speaker 16: it's not. And so, like, how much did you spend 665 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 16: this past year? Can you start dropping forty or fifty 666 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 16: or sixty dollars a month, whatever you need into a 667 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 16: savings bucket for Christmas or next year. So that's just 668 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 16: one thing I want to mention. Also, and I'm not 669 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 16: some sort of goal setting guru or anything like that, 670 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 16: but let's talk about goals. I think it's really important 671 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 16: to set realistic goals and realistic timelines because I think 672 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 16: one of the most defeating feelings is to say I'm 673 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 16: going to pay this credit card debt off in three months, 674 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,280 Speaker 16: and if the truth is that's not really physically possible 675 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,720 Speaker 16: within your budget, then you're just going to feel like crap. 676 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 16: I think when three months passed and you haven't made 677 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 16: as much progress as you wanted to there. So I 678 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 16: would come up with a realistic goal set smaller goals 679 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 16: along the way that are going to help you achieve 680 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 16: the bigger goals that you want to hit. And then 681 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 16: I think it's really important to remind yourself of what 682 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 16: those goals are. So let's say paying off that credit 683 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 16: card debt in five months is your goal. Well, then 684 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 16: you need to know, well, what is it going to 685 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 16: take in bite sized amounts to be able to actually 686 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 16: pay that debt off in that amount of time? And 687 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 16: if you can stick something on your bathroom mirror, on 688 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 16: your fridge, whatever it takes to kind of remind you 689 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 16: that this is what you're working towards. That's going to 690 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,280 Speaker 16: be really helpful, a really helpful motivator. 691 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: And maybe put it in your wallet remind yourself that 692 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 1: you have so when you open your wallet and take 693 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: out your credit card, you go, oh, maybe I don't 694 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: need to spend that. 695 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 15: Yes. 696 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 16: I think the other thing you have to do is 697 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 16: remind yourself of what is going you're going to achieve 698 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 16: at the end of this right, So, I think it 699 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 16: can feel like budgeting. For most people, that word sounds terrifying. 700 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 16: I hate it, Like, yeah, it's like, oh, that's super scary. 701 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 16: But if you can change your mindset, your mental approach 702 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 16: to what that looks, I can say, actually, actually budgeting 703 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 16: is not me raining in and forgetting everything I enjoy 704 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 16: about life and eradicating it from my existence. I think 705 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 16: that's how most people. That's how I used to think 706 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 16: about budgeting, was like, yeah, if I do that, it's 707 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 16: going to constrain me. 708 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be. 709 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 5: Able to enjoy my life. 710 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,240 Speaker 16: The truth is it helps you to come with intention 711 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 16: to what it is you want to spend money on. 712 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 16: Spend money on those things proactively. I talk about it 713 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 16: as the craft beer equivalent, right, because I like Kraft beer. 714 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 16: It's pretty expensive to buy good craft beer these days. 715 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 16: But I spend lavishly on craft beer. But it just 716 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 16: means I cut back into other places. So I'm not 717 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,919 Speaker 16: spending eighty two dollars a month on my cell phone 718 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 16: bill and I'm not upgrading my phone very often because 719 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 16: I care about craft beer a whole lot more, and 720 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 16: so it just puts helps you put your priorities in order. 721 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 16: Actually important to align your spending with those long term goals. 722 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 16: That's a recipe I think for more success and for 723 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 16: then greater joy too in the process. 724 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 1: Do you think people have gotten more irresponsible bill about 725 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: money too? Because we don't have to track it like 726 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 1: we used to, Like I still keep a check register, 727 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: even though I don't write checks. I mean everything's on 728 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: my debit card or whatever. But you just if there's 729 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: more unconscious spending because you're not held as accountable. 730 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 16: Yes, oh, I mean for sure. And I think it's 731 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,919 Speaker 16: a really tough world out there for consumers because there's 732 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 16: products out there that are made to seem normal, like 733 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 16: by now, pay later, and there's just all these things 734 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 16: that continue to conspire against us, and we have to 735 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 16: be conscious, conscious objectors to the new forms of payment 736 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,760 Speaker 16: that we can use that will keep us perpetually in debt, 737 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 16: to the longer car lons, to all of these things 738 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 16: that just kind of they start to as like, well, okay, 739 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 16: they offered it to me, it must be okay, And 740 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 16: the truth is no, it's not in your best interest. 741 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 16: It's gonna it's gonna harm your other financial goals that 742 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 16: you have. And so yeah, I do think in a 743 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 16: lot of ways, like it is harder and it's really important, 744 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 16: Like you said, keeping keeping a check register, like that's 745 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 16: so old school, but it's a really helpful way to 746 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 16: do it. If you want to go new school. There's 747 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 16: you need a budget. Wine ab is a great website 748 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 16: to help you kind of get an actual budget. It's 749 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 16: worth the money. Same with monarch.
