Out this number, you have to wonder where it comes from. We show cases 99 of which is totally harmless. So guess who else wonders where that number comes from. Dr. Fauci. This is what he said today and i quote, im trying to figure out where the president got that number. What i think happened is that someone told him that the general mortality is about 1 . And he interpreted therefore that 99 is not a problem when that is obviously not the case, end quote. So just so were on the same page here, so the president of the United States is not understanding the numbers. This, while he is in florida right now, an epicenter of the spiking number of cases. So what is the president talking about there . Drug trafficking, joe biden and his random claim that nobody but him remembers that Abraham Lincoln was a republican. Oh, when he arrived in south florida, an area why masks are mandatory, the president did not have one. You see there the local officials who greeted him with faces covered. And a
Disease doctor is sounding the alarm louder than he has before. Dr. Fauci who is being restricted by the white house from going on television has not briefed the president in two months as the pandemic is getting worse. Today he told a world aides conference that this is a true pandemic. Seems like whatever we did in different parts of the world, there were responses and sometimes favorable as that country has got it under control, but as you can see, from this slide you can see, my own country, i am sure its in the middle right now as we speak in a very serious problem. A short time ago a Top World Health Organization said the situation is very unlikely that we can eradicate or eliminate this virus. Martin savidge has been following where the virus has been exploding, and florida is now the epicenter of the world. Reporter each day the numbers grow more and more and its a hot spot in more days than one. Deaths from the coronavirus still rising, and two states reporting their largest s
Recent trouble spots like florida and georgia are seeing the lowest case numbers in months. On the vaccine front, new concerns that the white house may be trying to rush the process. The head of the fda Stephanie Hahn steven hahn tells the Financial Times his agency might grant authorization to a vaccine before the phase three trials are complete. His comments coming roughly a week after President Trump accused the fda of slow walking a vaccine. Today top medical experts are calling out the administration. They want an independent commission separate from the fda to review Covid Vaccine candidates before they become available. So lets start there. With me Elizabeth Cohen and White House Correspondent kaitlan collins. And elizabeth, first, on this independent review, why do the top doctors think that would be necessary here .

Anything to hold on to power. Donald trump has been a toxic presence in our nation for four years. Poisoning how we talk to one another. Poisoning how we treat one another. Poisoning the values this nation has always held dear. Poisoning our very democracy. Now, just a little over 60 days, we have a decision to make. Will we rid ourselves of this toxin orwillwemakea permanent part we make it a permanent part of our nations character . You know, as americans, im confident we believe in haonest and decency, giving everyone a fair shot, leaving no one behind, giving hate no safe harbor, and demonizing no one. Until, recognize theres something bigger than ourselves. Trump doesnt seem to believe in any of that. Look, ive said it before and ill keep saying it. Americas an idea.
