Summary
The upcoming book “Peril” by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa details Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley’s phone conversations to reassure a nervous Chinese general and efforts Milley took to limit then-President Trump from potentially ordering a dangerous military strike. Milley conducted the October 30 call in consultation with then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper. Gen. Wesley Clark is a former NATO Supreme Allied Commander. He tells Anderson Cooper he thinks “there should be a lot of praise for Gen. Milley” and that he did “the best he could to maintain strategic stability.” Plus, three reports published in The New England Journal of Medicine support the argument that people need a booster dose of the Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine. CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta joins AC360 to discuss the findings and the upcoming meeting of FDA vaccine advisers.
