Three major back seen breakthroughs now that astrazeneca, announcing results. What should americans know . On member of the gop doctors caucus, michael burgess. Such good news. One of the three we mentioned . The effectiveness of astrazeneca, 70 , 90 moderna. Tremendous news, 10 months since the virus was under study. If everything goes perfectly, you have one pending emergency use authorization and another one seems to follow and astrazeneca has come forward. The differences between the three, the easiest differences to take out are the storage requirements, the pfizer faxing requires all for cold storage, negative 93 fahrenheit, a significant investment to place those units and maintain some, the Moderna Vaccine has cold storage requirements but not as strong as the Pfizer Vaccine and astrazeneca normal refrigeration process will suffice. Astrazeneca seems to come in at a lower price tag although donald trump said many times the vaccine will be paid for. How that is structured. Price hasnt been an issue before now but may need to be considered but three vaccines, each affective, the astrazeneca vaccine apparently if the dosage regimen has changed a little bit, pushes out the rate, absolutely fantastic results, thank goodness we are here because that is the answer to this problem. Griff people are less worried about the price and more about the safety of taking the vaccine. How safe is it and how concerned are you as a doctor that people may be hesitant to take the vaccine once it is available . I believe the vaccine will be safe. The companies have done their research on significant numbers of Clinical Trials, 30,000 people, massive Clinical Trials undertaken for these vaccines. The fda doing its normal usual job of evaluating the safety profile of the Pfizer Vaccine and i hope they expedite that because losing 1000 people a day we need this soon. As far as vaccine hesitancy, going to people who are vaccine hesitant, the worst thing we could do is policies of the makers would be to mandate a vaccine, that is never going to be a good idea. Voluntarily people should have it available. If i am not accused, i could be one of the first to roll up my sleeve to demonstrate my confidence in the process. Todd the political reporter when im not filling in for todd piro, when you have some time all of the relief programs are expiring on december 30 first.

Even providing a little flexibility in the payroll Protection Plan could free up 130 billion already appropriated. There should be no argument over it but flexibility, there are other things that could be done. It could be wrapped up relatively quickly. People are waiting to see what the senate race turns out, still a Republicancontrolled Senate or the democrats take over, that is to be determined but right now relief is necessary and it could be done.

The Senate Balance of power hanging on the two georgia runoffs. Our next guest says president elect biden should be praying for a republican majority. Griff former economist peter morici joins us to explain why. Reporter good morning. Griff please explain. Reporter moderate joe biden won the primary, got coopted by Bernie Sanders and aoc of the rest and ran on a radical platform. If the republicans hold the senate with the gains they made in the house that is a clear mandate to compromise and move away from things like terribly high taxes and nationalizing Health Insurance and the rest of that nonsense in the platform. Jillian lets look at president elect bidens tax plan that includes increasing top income tax rate to 29 , payroll tax for those earning 400, 000 a year, raise Capital Gains tax, increase corporate taxes to 28 . With all that being said you talk about why joe biden should hope the city remains republican but why should the rest of america especially those on the far left, how is it going to benefit them . We all benefit from a growing economy and we rely on high technology, research and development and fund that with Venture Capital by opposing a 57 tax on Capital Gains for Angel Investors and so forth, we are seeing dont invest in my technology. In ireland it is more than 50 , guys and gals never take the money out, reinvesting and so forth. As a consequence it ends in their estate. We could be paying 57 and another 45 estate tax reforms on top of what is left, getting a nickel on a dollar or something, nobody is going to invest in that. Joe bidens leftwing friends seem to think some people want to give their money away for no good purposes. Do you know anybody who would invest in an effective return of 0 . Griff let me flip the script, you talk about republicans being in control, doing things you dont want to do, mom and dad said i cant do it. Lindsey graham earlier in the show talking about you have Bernie Sanders or the senate Budget Committee, what would that look like . The guy who would take over the finance committee would tax Capital Gains every year, for an Angel Investor
