Back to the mage update from pfizer today, regarding its covid19 vaccine. Although the results have not yet been reviewed. Pfizer has not completed its testing, this is very promising news. We talked now with dr. John sports for, and Infectious Disease expert. Thank you so much for being here. I want to first get your reaction from this news from pfizer. How would you categorize the results so far . Be very encouraging. Very exciting. The idea that we will have a vaccine is totally outstanding. Think about it we have been talking about a vaccine for so long and had no idea whether we could develop one that would work. And the preliminary data as you said it is preliminary it shows that it works this is what we call a concept. The second thing is fda said they had a vaccine that had 60 of efficiency pretty protect 60 of people. The preliminary data suggest the number is a lot higher, maybe close to 90 . We need more data. We need more studies to run, etc. This is very exciting. As you mentioned, the results do in fact exceed expectations. How common is 90 advocacy, what other vaccines have that rate of effectiveness . We have some that are. Our best vaccine is a measles vaccine it is close to 95 efficiency. That is not unusual. This one 91 is really a surprise. It is a surprise because it is a vaccine against mccauley respiratory pathogen. That is an organism that gets into our body via the now mouth and nose, and airways and gets down and causes disease. Our vaccines against respiratory pathogens are not nearly 90 at efficacious. This is the first data that we have. There were 96 people who got in fact did. And sick. Nine of them were in the Vaccine Group and remainder were in the placebo group. That is how we got to the 90 advocacy. As of the numbers grow i would not be surprised to see the same efficacy dropping. I would be delighted if it state that 80 . I was going to be happy at 70 . 90 is really just outstanding. Again, i think the numbers will drop with the data. As you are quick to point that this is early data. Since this vaccine is being studied in only a matter of months. This is sort of priority number one here. There are still a lot of things we dont know. How long it will protect people against infection . Sure, we have no idea how long it will protect people. There are lots of other things we dont know. We dont know if it will cause sterilize immunity. Meaning i get vaccinated in any of the virus and the virus wont be able to multiply in the. If you cant multiply any, i cant spread. It is very likely this vaccine will protect you from getting six, the that is what the data shows. I want to know if it protects me from spreading it to anybody else. That is another big question. And of course, the safety question. Odyssey, that is very important question. There are still many aspects that need to be answered. As you mentioned, some promising news today from pfizer. Something we will continue to follow.

David, good to have on here. We know the high court has upheld obamacare in the past year this is a much different looking court here. A solid six, three conservative majority. Six justices appointed by President Trump here. How do you think this court is likely to view the issue of the individual mandate, and whether it is found it unconstitutional . It will be oddly interesting. One step is a question of whether not the constitutional amount. When chief Justice Roberts about the controlling pen upholding obamacare or the Affordable Care act. He said it was a tax and this was under the tax. In 2017, congress reduced that tax, that penalty to zero. Technically there is still an individual mandate, we all have to comply with. The penalty is exactly 0. The argument that 18 states led by texas and supported by the Trump Administration is a two fold. When congress blocked that penalty down to zero. They knocked out the validity of the tax, the socalled tax. Which was the basis for the Affordable Care act. Think of that as the keystone to the building. If you plot the keystone . What happens . The beauty, the bridge falls apart. By taking it down to zero they knocked out the basis for the Affordable Care act. Whether that argument will hold, the way, that is what is up for debate tomorrow.
