Vaccina vaccinations. Well do a mask mandate within his powers of the federal government and also looking at reopening schools, working with congress to get the funding to make that happen. Of course the back seen and he wants to instill Public Confidence to encourage people to get out and get vaccinated as soon as they are able. This week he urged confidence saying that he believes this is a politics free zone when it comes to vaccine and people can be confident that its going to be backed by science. We saw fda approving the Pfizer Vaccine yesterday so that process is already beginning. He hopes the Vaccine Program will be a politics free zone but stepping right back into politics in georgia next week to campaign for john ossoff and warnock. Thats right. Even at the same time biden is dealing with this Public Health crisis and challenge he also has this big political fight on his hands, and theres no question that the biden team and biden himself are aware of the stakes in these two races. The Senate Balance of power is at stake, the fate of bidens legislative agenda is at stake in georgia so biden is heading down to georgia himself this coming week of warnock and osso. But its not just about boots on the ground. This is an all hand on deck situation and bidens team has been doing everything they can to try to elect these two democrats. They raised roughly 10 million for their campaigns and their campaign has spent about 5 million to try to get them elected. Its a push for the next few weeks to try to get these democrats across the finish line. Thank you very much. All right. Lets the turn to the coronavirus because Health Experts say that there are a number of factors that will shape the success of this vaccine. Joining us now is a professor at the yale school of Public Health. Doctor, good morning to you. Thanks for being with us. Good morning, victor. Good to be with you. Let me start here. You know after a day that set three records, more than 231,000 new cases, more than 3300 deaths, 108,000 plus people in hospitalizations, i want to go to the heart of the finding of a recent study from your group that the impact of a vaccine dissipates dramatical as the severity of the epidemic increases. Lets put it this way. If i had a bucket of water i can put out a camp fire. But a bucket of water wont put out a forest fire even a High Pressure hose wont put out a froeft fire. The coronavirus is behaving like an out of control wildfire in our communities and even with highly effective vaccine we still need sustained adherence to masking and physical distancing. Dont throw out that mask. Well get out of this came a lot faster if we give the vaccine a fighting chance. One thing you discuss in this study thats focused on the elements around the vaccine itself, the principle element of this. The infrastructure coming to states. Infrastructure will contribute at least as much to the success of the Vaccination Program as the vaccination itself. Can you evaluate the infrastructure from operation warp speed and what were seeing in the states to determine if they are adequate at this first phase . You took the words out of my mouth. We need an operation warp speed for infrastructure. You know, the commonly used phrase among people in the vaccine world is that vaccines dont save lives. Vaccination programs save lives. We need scaled up manufacturing. We need investment in distribution and logistics. We need better Communication Programs to promote acceptance. Side effects aside, what is the impact of the execution, the distribution, the delivery, the storage on confidence for those people who are on the fence who say im considering it or ill get it but not first. This first week of vaccinations whats the importance . Ground Vaccine Distribution has been delegated to state departm. These organizations are chronically underfunded, chronically understaffed even in the best of times let alone nine months into a once in a century pandemic. And they have been warning they lack what they the good news is that biden has pledged to invest the 25 billion that we think are going to be required for good distribution and, you know, acceptance, comprehensive culturally sensitive strategies for communication all that will be as important itself as the identification and approval of an effective vaccine. Whats the impact of we just had Sara Westwood from the white house, the impact of that call between the white house chief of staff and the head of the fda in which he said either you approve emergency use authorization tonight or resign. Whats the impact of a call like that on confidence and the potential effectiveness of Vaccination Program. Yeah, its baffling.

Theres no such thing as to go in a concert world. Reporter even in places like georgia which allow Live Performances, there are social distancing requirements. Operating at 10 or 20 isnt financially viable. Center stage has 65 part time workers and a dozen fulltime employees. Another music venue in atlanta let go of more than 40.
