That has been made in developing and producing doses of vaccine so that theyre ready when the fda makes that decision nap is exactly what happened with pfizer and that is what will happen with moderna. Millions of vaccines are going out and hundreds more are needed, we have now learned there is talks with pfizer to get more doses. Along with vaccines, there is finally a glimmer of hope on the other crisis we have been facing, the economy. On capitol Hill Mitch Mcconnell says that congress is making major headway towards a relieve deal. One that looks like will include direct payments to families. That is the good news. Now for the gut check, the pandemic is still spreading, still getting people dangerously sick, and still killing people. Its so bad right now that california ordered dozens of additional body bags and refrigerated trucks. I want to start with you, california front line workers getting vaccinated as we speak. It is great news, but it is still spreading. There is more body bags and more mour gr morgues. It is the biggest county in the entire nation. 12 Million People live here, and there are more people in this hospital than ever before with covid19. 4600 patients in Los Angeles County alone are hospitalized today with covid19. Hundreds of thousands of doses are coming into this county of that vaccinvaccine. It is hopeful, it is a good sign, it is a sense of relief, but its not enough and it will not stop the surge that were under going right now. I spoke to a lot of people today, thousands of vaccines are being administered here. The entire staff of this hospital is going to get those vaccines within six weeks time. I want you to watch a little bit what dr. Briggs has to say here. We have all been working to hard to provide the best care to our patients and trying to protect ourselves, our families, and our communities. When i woke up knowing i would be the first patient here there was a sense of gratitude. There was a sense of optimism, and a sense of representation. I talked to her a few minutes ago, no side effects yet. She said representation and she really meant it. It is an extraordinary mess age. What is happening over there in michigan . We watched just a couple hours ago as farmtispharmacists the viles out of the ups box they arrived in they started to vaccinate people here as well. It was not just one goal in this hospital, they have multiple goals, they are not only trying to Vaccinate Health Care Workers here, theyre also trying to make sure this gets distributed to a bunch of different medical centers in northeast michigan. In this blue cooler here, there is 29 viles. This box right here, this soft cooler that looks like they cocould do this here, well walk out here so you can see this process. They have to be stored at this sub zero temperatures, but it can be kept at a refrigerated temperatures. They cant afford to buy one nap is where a hospital and a place like this comes in. So literally what is happening here is this is a doctor. This is his personal pickup truck. Look over here, he is literally putting the seat belt on this vaccine right here so he can drive this two hours away up to a Rural Community in northeast michigan and he is going to vaccinate ten people there that will then go on to vaccinate other Health Care Workers in other rural places. I want to ask you really quickly youre from alpena. I have levered a lot of babies there, but this is providing hope for a community that has seen enough of covid19. It is a time of hope. We wont hold you up any more. He can make his way. A lot of the country particularly rural america, this is what hope looks like. A blue soft sided cooler with tiny vaccines being driven by a man and his personal pickup truck and this is the way that people can get their vaccines. That is just amazing. He is the embodiment of all of this together. Lets goat dr. Mark sawyer. Also a professor of pediatrics. Dr. , thank you for being here. Tomorrow youre going to meet on the Moderna Vaccine. Walk us through what that means. We hear public comment, and we discussion amongst ourselves, ask questions until were comfortable that we have all of the information we need to decide on a recommendation. What do you make of the data on the Moderna Vaccine so far. Maybe there are stories today about Moderna Vaccine having slightly increased side effects, but you have to be careful with those numbers. So for most people, it doesnt really make any difference which of these vaccines they get, they are both very effective and both very sick. Sounds like youre pottive that the recommendation will be made tomorrow. I think so. There has been a lot of talk about whether or not this vaccine or any vaccine should be given to children, pregnant ladies, what is your expectation for this one . I think it is likely to be similar. We dont have any specific data yet. So we have to be a little careful with that and the cdc helped with providing guidance about use of these. We definitely need to study these vaccines in children, children get sick with this, sometimes veerseverely. We need to get them back in cool and getting them vaccinated will help. How quickly do you think we will find out wlont it is safe in kids and pregnant women . The plan has been done for children. I think they will start in a month or so. I think by the summer time we will have sufficient data. Pregnant women is a different challenge. At the moment the recommendation is that pregnant women can choose whether or not they want to get the vaccine. Thats okay, we dont have evidence to suggest a problem, but we will keep monitoring that. Allow immediate to read this on immunity. There is a suggestion that the vaccine may prevent asymptomatic infections. They said there is not enough data whether or not it does that and called for further studies. A vaccine that protects against disease but not infection would be incredibly valuable, but they worry about a scenario where people stop Wearing Masks but remain vulnerable and spread the disease to others. What is your take on this . That is a very important tonight. The way they did the study we vonl a little glimpse about that finding. We dont have similar data from the Pfizer Vaccine because it wasnt part of the way they did the study in is an important point and we will find that out quickly. Because as you just e reporepor hospitals are immunizing their community now. That will be really interesting. One other note, a lot of americans are nervous about this vaccine because we have always been told that vaccines take years. This one didnt take years, it took months. How can the American Public be sure that this process safe regardless, or despite how fast it went . What would you tell us . One thing is to say that that is the purpose of these advisory committees that im on. Theyre populated with experts. Vaccines, public health, pediatrics, medicine. These are people outside of the government who are being asked to share their expertise and their opinion about whether or not the vaccine was safe and effective. I can tell you having been on this committee in the past for several years that the process and the feel of the committee is exactly the same for this vaccine as it was with vaccines that i was involved with in the past. So i think people can be reassured by that. Its natural to be a little concerned with any new vaccine. The reason this went so fast has to do with the science as well as the money invested by the federal government. I was also lead to believe there was already Coronavirus Vaccine studies out there. They were working on a general Coronavirus Vaccine and this one was like having a prefab house and just changing the fixtures for this specific threat of this virus. Yeah, that is correct. People remember the first sars. This sars cov 1. They have been working on vaccines for those viruses as a slower pace. They were able to use the same technology and just shift over to the new sars covid 2. Yes, thank you, we appreciate it we look forward to tomorrows meeting and what comes out of that. Now for a moment of personal privilege. There is a lot of concern about vaccines out there and some trepidation about getting it. The vaccine is new, got here in record time, those of us in the public eye keep urging you to trust it, and those are not just words typed into a teleprompter. We urge our own family members to get the shots. Here is proof. This is my baby brother james getting the Pfizer Vaccine yesterday. I asked him if he was nervous about it and he laughed at me. He literally laughed and he said no, not at all, i trust the science. He is a doctor at uc davis medical center. I tried to book him for my show but he said he was too busy. A few months back after he encountered public covid patients. He kept fighting it and kept exposing himself. Now finally he has a little protection. This is him at his medical school graduation. Im so proud of you baby brother. You crust the science and i trust you. Coming up joe biden announces his new picks for his incoming administrati administration. And a major winter storm expected to bring up to a foot of snow to parts of the atlantic coast. First up, Mitch Mcconnell says congress is nearing a deal finally on covid relieve.

Alongside the speaker of the house and the House Republican leader we made major head way toward hammering out a targets pandemic relief package that would be able to pass both chambers with bipartisan majorities. Congressional leaders appear to be very close to a new deal for covid relief. The package includes a new round of checks and Unemployment Benefits. While there is not direct aide for state and local governments, there is other avenues to deliver aide to states. Joining me now is the virginia democratic senator mike warner. He is also the vice chairman of the intelligence committee. Senator warner, i almost called you mr. Warner, lets talk about what is in this deal. Can you put a direct number on that . First of all, lets look at the overall deal, it is about 900 billion. While this is targeted, its size, this will be the second largest piece of federal legislation in our history. The cares bill was the biggest, this is the second biggest, this is larger than even what happened after the 2008 financial crisis if provides Food Assistance and it provides rental assistance, unemployment, it provides broadband, it provides help for childcare centers. I think we targeted those areas most in need. I dont have the exact number yet on the direct stimulus. I do fear that some of the direct payments were taking out of the Unemployment Benefits. I think someone that is unemployed getting the check is different from someone that makes 150,000 a year and is seeing no economic loss. Some are saying some checks are more important than other priorities. I believe it is 600 per individual. And again that would be roughly in the 140 billion range in terms of cost. Did i hear correctly that the money is being taken out of how much money goes to Unemployment Benefits . We had in our unemployment the bipartisan plan. 16 weeks of increased unemployment for people who were expiring from employment and it is independent contractors. It included a full 16 weeks of a 300 per week increase. I think because the president and even some folks that call themselves progressives wanted stimulus checks more important than that assistance you had to take it out of some pot, and im afraid the relief for the unemployment may be a shorter period of time. None of these are perfect deals. I wish my colleagues would have been willing to plus up the 900 billion in this aide, but im very proud of the bipartisan work that is done. Three weeks ago we were nowhere. Three weeks ago congress was about to leave town. Nay would have been kicked out of their apartments. We saw those lines at the food banks, they have gotten worse. Im grateful that were finally active. You would have been out of touch and kcallus lous. Like stupidity on steroids, its not perfect, but this is a lot of aid. I hear your frustration on taking that money out of Unemployment Benefits. What about state and local funding. Some of the municipalities will be out of work without funding. Listen, i was a former governor. I know how important this assistance is. One million and a half state and local governments have been laid off we have 160 billion in. I wish we would have had another day or two. I think there was some appropriate limit protection that should have been put in place. But the idea that we would bar people from even having a day in court, if they had been harmed by irresponsible action is just a bridge too far. Your colleague senator ron johnson holding a hearing in the Homeland Security meeting what is going on over there . There is still some of my colleagues in the house and the senate that refute to shep the reality that joe biden won the election. People turned out in record numbers. One of the people is chris krebs. He ran the election, he was a trump appointee he was also fired by trump. I think he provided the most safe and protective election in american history. Im proud of that and the fact that the vast majority of trump and biden sorters participated without violence. There is a sore loser caucus i think that sore loser is under estimating the damage being done. Senator josh holly was saying that he wasnt ready to say that joe biden wasnt the president elect, there is no evidence. There is no evidence, it has not been brought up anywhere. The Supreme Court didnt take the case, other courts through out the case. And yet you have senators and a number of House Republicans backing the president , isnt this worse than just being a sore looser . I agree with you. Im the vice chair. We were afraid of violence on election day. We were afraid that americans might not vote. Americans turned out in record numbers. We stopped the interference. The election was safe. Again, im trying to be jenous, some of the folks that i grew up with, but i think were looking foolish. I worry that generosity is not getting us to a nice place. Senator mark warner. But lets remember, thousands of Election Officials today up and g their jobs. There are a few outliars out there, but this is the strength of american politics. This is adisagreement on raet. Senator mark warner. Glad youre working toward something, there are millions of americans out there in debt pratt need of it. Thank you for joining us today, and happy hop days to you. Still ahead President Trump lashes out at Mitch Mcconnell for acknowledging joe bidens win. How can republicans move forward when the president will not.

Joining me is vaughn hilliard. My klieg kris jansing twe ining about it this morning. Vaughn, i know everyone got a heads up about this, talk to me about what hospitals and what they are doing in pennsylvania to head it off at the pass. It is quite a juxtaposition. These two have now collided together. There is a couple thousand doses ta made it in so far. Across pennsylvania theyre still hoping to get upwards of 100,000 doses of this vaccine into pennsylvania e by weeks end, but youre dealing with up to six inches of snow here in philadelphia in the next 24 hours. That is why the governor, ahead of the emergency state, while all of these are happening outside, i want to late you hear from one of the nurses, the frontline workers, the first in philadelphia today to get the vaccine on why this is so port. To sit there and see everything come to fruition and see, you know, seeing them put a syringe together. I almost cried thinking about the next chapter. I hope that people are not discouraged. We will be able to be good ro
