Get off the floor and get on the aerotrainer. Go to aerotrainer. Com, thats aerotrainer. Com. Welcome back. This hour two stories that both signal hope for venal endings. One to a national and global tragedy and the other to a national embarrassment. By this time tomorrow well see millions of doses of the Covid Vaccine on the move. Theyre being prepared as we speak by pfizer for a logistical challenge the United States has not seen since world war ii. D. Day was a pivotal turning point in world war ii. It was the beginning of the end. D day was the beginning of the end. Thats where we are today. While it wont be a miracle solution with the u. S. Just passing 16 million total cases and nearing 300,000 fatalities, this roll out represents something this country has not had for nearly a year, hope. Theres a lot of anxiety and uncertainty. Theres also been a tremendous amount of progress. I think to answer peoples question, if we inform them about whats going on, i think it will be okay. You also understand, all of us are tired of this. I think if people sort of say, well, if my chance of going back to a reasonably normal life in six months is that much higher because i take a vaccine then it becomes worth it. Were going to be looking at when and how the vaccine could be headed to you. Ill talk to family who participated in the trial who is can tell us all we can expect. Were following what would be a moment of clarity that its time to throw in the towel but as we learn President Trump is not most people. The president not reacting well to the decision by the Supreme Court to dismiss without hearing fact free election lawsuit from texas that the president just days ago referred to as quote the big one. He is spending his day lashing out at the Court Republican governor, bill barr, democracy and anything else he can blame for his election loss. Not himself. While taking solace in a washington, d. C. Protest by supporters who are vowing the fight is not over. The legal path, you have to hope the justices of the state court are going to show more determination, some more willingness to be willing to take some degree of criticism and some more willing to have an open mind. Thats all were asking them to do. That state effort not going so well. A federal judge throwing out one trump lawsuit in wisconsin. A decision on that could come at any moment. Well have more on this just ahead. I want to start where we all need to now with the hope presented by the Covid Vaccine. Back with us, nbc scott cohen who is outside of uc San Francisco medical center. Talk to me about plans in the state of california and the roll out of this vaccine there. Reporter it may be the most complicated Vaccine Distribution plan. It starts with the western states doing their own sigh tiffic review. That starpts during the week. It will continue tomorrow with the idea it doesnt delay the Vaccine Distribution. It will get the very early doses of the vaccine and the people who will get it first, as youve been hearing. The Front Line Health Workers whether the doctors, nurses, therapist, the janitorial staff. All the people dealing with this on the front line in regular basis and then followed by residents of Long Term Care facilities, Nursing Homes and essential workers. It will be a while before the general public sees this. The initial distribution for california, 327,000 doses in the state of 40 Million People and it will be distributed by region with the majority of it or the largest portion of it, i should say, going to southern california, l. A. , san diego and santa barbara. Even here at this hospital where they probably will get fewer than 1,000 dose, the planning that has gone into this is carefully kdone. Theres probably 100 people involved in leadership roles. Whether its how were going to schedule that second vaccine, how were going to do this documentation the how were going to make sure we get messaging and communication out and properly and keep every one calm. Reporter the vaccine does have potential side effects. They dont want to vaccination everybody at once. They will space that out with the idea of getting started. The hope is on wednesday. All right. Lets talk about achieving herd immunity. The goal is to stop the virus in its tracks. We do that by getting this vaccine. If your estimation, what percentage of americans need to get this vaccine in order to achieve herd immunity . This is the key question here because we have so much vaccine resistance. Antivaxers. Its almost as hard as getting it out in first place. Somewhere in the vicinity of 50 or 60 of the population would be willing to get the vaccine. Theres nowhere near enough to get the herd immunitimmunity. I appreciate in california the bigger cities and you are began and suburban areas will get it but what about Central California and the Community Health centers serving farm workers and other low income vinls. That will be tricky and difficult. Its important we have equitiable distribution of the vaccine. We already had many pieces of information showing that people in brown and black communities are not getting the attention that they need already and suffering much more from cov covid covid19. A lot remains in the logistics of fair distribution. You wonder if folks will begin to change their mind especially folks resisting to taking vaccine at this point when they see people around them, friends and neighbors getting this vaccine and being okay over next couple of months. I wonder if that number at 60 plus or so percent will change. If its going to go up. More folks will be confident in getting this vaccine but there was this New York Times story talk about this cliff that we could be approaching because the United States didnt commit to enough Pfizer Vaccines. We committed to 100 million vaccines and 100 million moderna vaccin vaccines. Hopefully that be pass mustard next week. That tois a total of 100 millio people. Woe could hit a cliff come march where we dont have enough vaccines to dole out for that phase two. Then we have to wait until maybe june or july for these pharmaceutical companies to reproduce these vaccines. What happens during that period . Are you worried about this cliff . Of course im worried about. Even if we had everybody vaccinated, we still have to mick su make sure that everybody following the rules about wearing mask and keeping distance. Convincing people its okay, youll be safe is a huge messaging job. I think the point youre making is that when people see people from their own community, people in their own families getting the vaccine b, that will go a long way. If we get any kind of complication, including these allergic reactions that are not a problem but that will mag ani a problem but that will mag anf itself on the internet and well be fighting this resistance. I hope and i i think well get this done which is to reach that herd immunity level which is about three quarters of the pop youlation. Getting the two doses. There may be more vaccines out there than just these two. They may be there to fill in the gaps. Yeah. The question is when, really. Nbc scott cohen and dr. R dr. Redliner. Thank. Great to see you this afternoon. Still ahead in our next half hour, a family, including a doctor and teenager that took part in the Pfizer Vaccine trial, theyre experience and if there were any side effects. That is coming up. You dont want to miss that interview. Well get a lot of information from them. I do want to turn to the other story were following. The Supreme Court has rejected lawsuit by texas that it asked the court to overturn the results in four battleground states that joe biden won. Trump who seemed to be counting heavily on the lawsuit as other options to subvert the loss tweeted he and his allies have just begun to fight. His efforts have now been forced back to the local court. Were awaiting a wisconsin state Supreme Court decision while another lawsuit was tossed by a federal judge earlier today. This is happening as supporters of the president have taken to the treats of washington, d. C. Today for an America First rally just days before the Electoral College votes to cement the results in favor of joe biden. I want to bring in david jolly, former member of congress and basil. Welcome to you both. Thanks for joining us on this. What a day yesterday was. It was quite a moment. This is the nail in the coffin. Theres nowhere else to go for the president and we saw Rudy Giuliani coming out. I believe it was Michael Flynn who said it was more to come. David, what is the Supreme Court decision . The latest Supreme Court decision out of texas telling you . Its over. This sana emotionally unstable leader. One of the lower courts said cases like frank stien monster. Its a patch work of irrelevant information put together in one legal argument. The Supreme Court, said we would have taken the case says we would have taken it op jurisdiction and shown you the door and thrown the case out. This thing is over. The question is the leadership responsibility of not just republicans but all voices. Were clearly not getting that from the president. Were not getting it from the hill. The instituticonstitution has d part. We now need our leaders in washington to do their part. A good point. We need our leaders in wa w to do that. You have to question whether or not they are leaders that they are following the president. Following these base less claims. I want to read a quote from this texas decision because i think its important. The state of texas motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under article 3 of the constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a cognizable interest in the manner in which other states hap handle their elections. They need to recognize the truth of whats happening here. Ruth marcus wrote a brilliant oped. She said you have to recognize each and over one of these names. She went through every name of every person that has recognized this texas suit and because of these folks have not stepped up and recognized the preside ed j president elect. They know theres no merit to any of the accusations being made by the president and their team. Thats right to your point an davids point. Its not just folks in washington. There are 18 states attorney general that signed onto this. Even if states across the country, there is an unwillingness to acknowledge joe biden as the president elect of the United States. Its also interesting, you have one state challenging the Election Results of other states. What happened to states rights. I guess everything is different in trump era. Yes, he is run out of options. The state certified december 8th. The members of the Electoral College go to vote on monday. You may have a base less elector here and there but the president and his allies have run out of room here. All of the work and the activity and ive been saying this for a while, stay tuned. Two years from now, four years from now, they could be practicing for how they challenge Election Results state to state in the midterms and in four years from now. We should stay vigilant with that. As david said, this is bad lawyering on behalf of a frantic president who has nowhere else to go. I got four minutes left. I want to talk about the future of the democracy. I want to talk about the future of the Republican Party and talk about january 6th as well. We got to fit that all in. Lets get through this. David, lets talk quickly about january 6th. I just had a viewer tweet me and say whats going on with january 6th. Can something come of it . You could have a republican congressman stand up on january 6th and dispute an election result coming out of pennsylvania. It doesnt need to be their state and they need a senator to back that up. What happens then . Could something come of january 6th . Theres this very arcane statute from the 1870s thats not been tested. You would need a senator to cooperate. Thus far theres not been a senator to do this. What would likely happen whether its voted down out right or a move to table so theres not a full vote on the motion itself. All right. I want to talk about this New York Times article in the sting that donald trump has left on the democracy, on this country. Disputing the results in this election. They say this. Republican leaders now stand for a new notion that the final decisions of voters can be challenged without a basis in facts in the results are not to the liking of the losing side running counter to decades of work by the u. S. To convince developing nations that peaceful transfers of power are key to any freely elected governments credibility. What does this do to our democracy . Can we even recover at this point considering the entire world has seen whats happening here and how divided everybody is and how you have so many folks in washington, elected folks in washington that are backing up the president . It is an incredible stain on our nation and in our history books. I would argue thats why its so important for joe biden to succeed. He may not erase everything that happened but he can chart us in a new direction. I like the fact hes got a cabinet that hes putting together. There may be some agreements here and there about the picks but they are reflective of the diversity of the coalition that got him elected. There are people that are really smart and intel jenligent and pc servant. I stress that point because thats what we need to project Going Forward not just to American People but the rest of the worl were in service of the public and yes, the burden is going to be really heavy on joe biden to sort of turn this ship around but i do think, i do think he has the ability to do that. Hopefully, these last four years become a really distant memory. The two of you have to come back for the continuation of this conversation for the future of the Republican Party because it seems like we have run out of time. Up next, democratic congressman of South Carolina on where a covid relief bill stands right now and what democrats are willing to accept. As we do go to break, a sign of things to come. The first recipient of the Covid Vaccine in the uk as well as the nurse that add ministered it, on their experience. It was fine. It was fine. It makes me feel so privileged for my Nursing Community and my pifilipino community all over the world, its pride to offer ta protection for our vulnerable patients. Protection for our vulnerable patients with free curbside pickup, fast delivery from your walmart store, or gifts shipped right to your door. Lets end the year celebrating.

When i asked if we get this cash to you, how will you spend it. They say for diapers, insulin, inhalers, for rent, for groceries. Representative pressley calling on congress to pass relief for millions of memameris who need it. Congressman, thanks for joining us on this. Really appreciate it. In two weeks from today, you have 12 million americans who will lose Unemployment Benefits and a week after that the Eviction Moratorium expires. People need help. They need help across the board. Many people that have joined my program need help. Are they going to get it . We sure hope so. Right now negotiations have slowed down a little bit. Im still confident we can get something to the floor and provide relief for the families and businesses that are struggling at their most vulnerable time. Here we in the Holiday Season.
