FBC Cavuto Coast To Coast July 11, 2024

As timing who gets it and when, that is all still to be decided. There is a bit of a protocal for this. Well get into that with a prominent doctor as well. The left and right view on this battle, but first to blake burman on this latest news and this efficacy rate which was higher than both companies originally said, right . Reporter exactly, neil. We knew this Pfizer Vaccine candidate was effective. Pfizer though reiterating that today, in fact raising the effective rate on their covid19 vaccine candidate but just as important pfizer today also reported that they believe their vaccine candidate is safe which is why they say they are going to be applying for the eua. That is the emergency use authorization that the fda gives out. They will apply for that in the coming days. Here is what pfizer said earlier today as part of their news release they put out this morning. To date the Data Monitoring Committee for the study has not reported any serious safety concerns related to the vaccine. They go on to say a review of at least 8,000 participants, 18 years old in the phase two, three, study demonstrates the vaccine was welltolerated most solicited adverse events resolving shortly after vaccination. You mentioned Johnson Johnson. We herd from the ceo. He was speaking with David Rubenstein of the washington, d. C. , economic club, the ceo of j j he praised what we have seen out of pfizer. Listen. Per the news recently out of pfizer and moderna that is very encouraging and certainly suggestive that when we attack the coronavirus, covid19 virus with the right kind of approach, neutralizing antibodies a produced and this virus is susceptible to the bodys immune response. We still have a lot more to learn, a lot more data but were encouraging by what weve seen thus far. Reporter back to the process here, briefly, neil. Pfizer says it will apply for the emergency use authorization in the coming days. Do not though expect a vaccine to hit the marketplace immediately after that. It could potentially take weeks. Let me just sort of walk you through this real quick. The man overseeing all of this is over at the fda, dr. Peter marks. Center of biologic evaluation and research. He gave a interview in recent days neil, that the process most likely will take weeks. The bottom line as they say at the fda they want to make sure the process isnt rushed, they want to get it right, they want it to be transparent. Bottom line they want the public to trust the process. They want to be able to go through, the fda does, all of the data. Neil . Neil how is the administration kind of leading this overview of all the vaccines that are coming and the political squabbling back and forth . I mean you know, i know they have been focused on the count going on in various states and all but how have they been dealing with this . Reporter right. Theyre more so on the distribution side of things. Obviously the scientists over at the pharmaceutical companies are doing the vaccines but the administration is really overseeing this massive operation warp speed project in which the distribution is taking place through, in a lot of these cases mckesson, there will be distribution facilities. The Johnson Johnson ceo, neil, was asked today about how all of this will take place as it relates to who might get the first vaccines . He said it would be up to the cdc and other governmental agencies to sort of figure that out. You have got the Trump Administration via the white house going through operation warp speed, you have the afda with the eua, distribution, and a whole lot of parts involved in this. They set up operation warp speed to get through this, when we get to that point in time there is a plan to go about it. Well see how exactly they implement that plan. Neil got it. My friend, thank you very, very much. Blake burman in washington on all fast moving developments. Good time to go to jerry baker, my friend from the wall street journal at large, much, much more. We dont want to put a calendar date on it like j j but we got something down the pike a host of others do. How do you think all of this plays out . As you say weve had two very encouraging pieces of news from two of the main Vaccine Companies developing the vaccine. Theyre up at least probably another half a dozen Major Companies who were expecting probably if they have been successful with similar results in the course of the next few weeks. That is good news obviously, 95 efficacy efficiency rate, is high, much higher than most people were expecting. The question how this plays out, out getting actual approval of vaccines, that will probably happen the next two or three weeks and the next question is developing, distributing the vaccine. Well have to be a little patient. Pfizer said they can get 10 million doses out to people before the end of the year. That will cover a significant number of emergency workers. Perhaps some very vulnerable. More and more vaccines develop, more companies out with them we can expect in the First Quarter of 2021 to see the doses increase. The United States, 330, 340 Million People. That is a lot. Most of these vaccines require two doses. It will take some time, several months but it does suggest that the main way to ending this pandemic, this crisis, is very much in sight now. Neil you know, jerry, as youre aware a lot of people are scratching the head timing certainly the pfizer news, release of it first, a week after the election. Some in the white house questioned that, whether it was a politicallytimed not to help the president. Youre good at researching this stuff. I havent found any link like that but it has come up but what do you think of that . Yeah. You know, neil, nobody trusts anybody these days, do they . Of course sees political motive in in everything we see. Reminds me of one european, famous european diplomat in the 19th century when he heard the death of another european diplomat, was supposed to have said, i wonder what he meant by that . People are looking for clues. Like you, neil, i havent seen any evidence about this i dont think there is any particular reason why a company like pfizer would be, you know, so eager to see President Trump defeated, they would hold off on an important piece of vaccine news. Timing just seems to have been coincidental that these vaccines, we know they have been all in development and trials since early summer and they have, those trials take time. We have phase one trials and phase two trials, steadily larger and larger populations took time. It is strange, almost remarkable that these results are coming out immediately after the election. You know, inducing big increases in the stock market and big increases in confidence generally. That is very unfortunate. That President Trump is probably right to say it, come out of a week earlier, given how close the election was it might have been differently. I dont think anybody thinks, with the conspiracy theories so many people in on them, somebody at pfizer, somebody at one of these company would know they were sitting on results, would get the story out there. The press are pretty, pretty inventive finding ways to get the stuff out there. There could would be so many people involved in the conspiracy i find it implausible. Neil let me ask you how the markets reacted, many months ago i was talking with you on many of our chats you said a vaccine would change the game certainly for the markets, obviously for everybody. Youre quite right on both counts. Im wondering if people are reluctant to take it, i use my own state of new jersey as an example, may be a metaphor for the rest of the country, a growing number, depending on the survey, one out of three to half who are very reluctant to take a vaccine. Maybe goes back to concerns about vaccines period. It could go all the badmouthing about vaccines, whether these are politically motivated, i dont know what it is. Right. Neil i wonder would that complicate the picture and continue the spikes that weve seen . Yeah. Doesnt help when people like governor cuomo, the state where i live, comes out initially says we dont want to get the vaccine. I dont trust the president. I dont trust neil right. That really, if you have leaders creating this mistrust that is not surprising people will say, im not sure i want to do that, in addition to all the other concerns they may have. Im optimistic, neil, one, relatively high number of people are saying right now they wouldnt take it. That is because its a brand new thing. It has been developed in record time. You can understand people being nervous about it. As normal people, starts to be distributed, people start to get it, people see it works, if it does, i think some fear will dissipate. More people are willing to take it. The other thing we dont have to get to 100 coverage of this vaccine, 100 of the population covered for the vaccine to get on top of the virus. Herd immunity it is called where so many people have immune that it is really hard for the virus to spread. Herd immunity only kicking in at 50 or 60 . Maybe we have 10 of people have immunity already, maybe more. You only need to get half of the population who do agree to vaccinate about this essentially get on top of the virus and see it steadily diminish. That is how wear rat indicated smallpox and other diseases. We inoculate all the people in the world. We got enough people to make sure the virus didnt circulate. Neil that is true. We develop herd immunity. That is what happened in those cases. Gerry baker, wall street journal at large. I want to pursue with former wisconsin Governor Scott walker. In your own state youve seen spikes in hospitalizations. Im wondering the vaccine cant come a moment too soon. Do you know anything about the rollout plans, how they would be affecting your state, what would come out, who would get it, any of that . Well, im hopeful. First off i think it is great news not only for wisconsin but people around the country and around the world. I think this is phenomenal. We should embrace ways to get this out problem. A commercial standpoint walgreens, cvs, others out there theyre already talking about ways that once it is available getting it out to their current customers and patients. So i just think this is something that is going it happen. As jerry talked about, if there are some people reluctant, that is a right. If were talking about 300 Million People, if we get out 10 million or so at a time it will take some time. But i will be one of the people happy to take it like a take a flu shot every year. Neil you know, governor, a lot of your former colleagues, even present colleagues, right now, governors of all stripes, particularly republicans are much more open, not mandating masks, strongly, strongly advising them. Weve seen Iowa Governor kim reynolds, utah governor gary herbert, north dakota governor doug burnham, on and on, im wondering are they doing that because the spikes are addressing in their states, less afraid of fallout a president who many might view as outgoing anyway, what do you think . I think it is balance. Ive been talking about this since march. Ive been on your show number of times. I wrote about it on facebook on march 13th, i was one of those people originally in quarantine after cpac. This is something to take very seriously but we can do more than one thing at once. We can be concerned about the Health Impact of this, do the things, wearing a mask, washing hands, social distance, do all the things and still be concerned about efforts to shut down and cripple parts of the economy. Certainly while still being concerned about efforts by many governors and mayors trying to undo some of our Civil Liberties. You can do more things at once. Most rational people understand you can be concerned about the economy, Civil Liberties and do things to protect your family, coworkers and neighbors from your health. Governors saying we can do all this we got to be healthy. You asked about the rollout plan. I think in coming days every governor should figure out a way to get it out to the Health Care Workers and how seniors and other vulnerable populations initially reduced the risk of people who not just getting it, but people who seem to be by the data the most negatively affected by it. I think after that we cant do it at the same time while ignoring the ability of keeping a Strong Economy going and keeping people out, not only in the workforce but out in society. Neil were pressed for time, governor. I want to get your take on people losing patience with restrictions and new lockdown measures or closing students earlier, my state where new jersey, theyre limiting indoor gatherings to no more than 10 people and in germany it was carried to the next level. There were pretty violent protests and german troops actually attacking protesters. It went back and forth for hours. Im just wondering whether you know people are so, i guess, restriction fatigued that in any language, in any country were on the verge of something pretty bad, if it were to escalate. What do you think . I absolutely think youre right about that concern. Here is the issue i said all along for seven months now, elected officials regardless of party who talk about what and not why will always be in trouble. This is what you have to do particularly if you like the governors, new york, california, illinois where they say what you have to do but they dont do it themselves. That makes it even worse. But in this case explain why. Tell people why these things are issues. How we can all be a part of it. People will make the right decision. Personal responsibility is inherent in america but you have got to give people the why, not just the what. You cant crack down in ways that are unreasonable. Setting a limit of 10 versus 12, eight, whatever, it is a big concern of covid. Figure out ways to be safe and sound but up to you to decide how many people are at thanksgiving, not the government. Neil yeah. That is a old battle to deal with inlaws. That is a separate battle. That is excuse for a lot of people [laughter] neil i hear you, i hear you. I have a very safe healthy and thanksgiving yourself and your family. Scott walker, the former wisconsin governor on all of that. Were up about 64 points on the dow here. Were also hearing about Companies Looking at some remedies as well. By the way they dont have to always be vaccines outright. They can deal with symptoms around it an issues that often times send you into intensive care. If you mitigate those that might not be seen as a vaccine but for people suffering it is damn close to a cure. Well have more after this. We made usaa insurance for members like martin. An air force veteran made of doing whats right, not whats easy. So when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. Thats how you do it right.

Neil continuing to keep an eye on the ongoing political fight and lawsuits back and forth by the Trump Campaign in states like wisconsin, they want a recount, partial recount. In michigan theyre not satisfied what is being done in the detroit area but in the meantime that is stymieing, democrats say progress on transition talks between the Incoming Biden Administration if that is where it is going and leading to clashes within the Democratic Party itself who the president elect is selecting not only for key staff positions but down the road for cabinet positions. It sort of compounds a mess weve got going here. I want to pursue that with john layfield, and independent womens forum senior policy analyst. Inez, if if i begin with you. There is always a dustup when president is looking around for staff members, cabinet members, this is complicated by ongoing legal fights but this is unique so far within the party, fights over who gets what post and when . Is it a market disruptor or what does it appear to be . Depends what the markets and rest of us are betting on in terms of what direction a Biden Administration will go. If it will be as he ran on a more centrist administration or is it going to be primarily run by people far to bidens left . In two different ways, right . There are deep cracks in the Democratic Coalition and not just between socalled moderates or centrists and people who are more extreme or more progressive but even within the left base you have got the bernie wing of the party is much more interested in aggressive leftwing economic agenda. You have got the other wing of the Democratic Base which is primarily interested in a cultural woke agenda and biden will have to show something to someone. I suspect the wokes will win this one and perhaps the Biden Administration will be more centrist, although certainly left of trump and left of past democratic administrations but more centrist on some of the economic issues. Perhaps the markets that will play in but i think he will go hard on showing something to the woke side of his base. He will do that through executive orders. Neil you kn
