Good morning. Thank you for having me on. Biotech ability to take the biological structures of a cell and make it work for you. That started in 1973ith the first tools that were developed into whatt led eventually into the entire industry. How is the biotech industry playing a role in the coronavirus pandemic . Early in january this year, most of the biotechnology industry was focused on cancer. About 55 of it. With very little or no programs in covid. In the industry came together early in january, came together at bio and asked them tell us what they see in china. What they saw happening in china but quickly to 40 or 50 of them saying we are going to jump on finding yours vaccines right now. This was in january. Between now and january, over 770 programs were initiated. Pr what this meant was the entire industry pivoted not because have to but because we decided it was the right thing to do. The money was poured in, where we are today, we have close to 170 new vaccines on the horizon, intimate. In addition, you havech a whole host of antivirals in developed and a new science has come abo about. Talk about the new that was out yesterday with donna has nely 95 effective vaccine. This follows advisors ns biearlier, what role did the biotech industry play in the development of those vaccines, if any . Quite a lot. Maternal is a Biotech Company at its core. It was financed by capitalist, they took the wrist, stepped into an area which was entirely unknown in many senses and in the same way, you have pfizer partnering with a tiny Biotech Company in germany had similar similarly, like maternal, taken the step dealing with the kind of vaccine called an rna which was an outlier, complete outlier. Its been over threel decades ad nobody had taken a step forward but finally these two Small Companies stepped forward, took the risk, had investors help them and with the help other Large Companies like pfizer, the German Biotech Companies produced results in maternal has its results. Its front and center. Explain the science. The science is quite fascinating. Biotechnologies all about unpacking the tools to help your body and understanding how you make the cells work for you. The vaccines are an exact example of that. The Science Behind it says you have the genes that all the information that tells you how y ch sales should work in your body and instruct yourselves what to do. It doesnt to a special message called an rna. If you can treat the so to say i want you not to make a human protein but virus protein safely and appropriately, and what you can do is get the an rna into the human cells and the human cells will use it as a piece of information to start making the virus protein. The little eggs on the outside of the virus its making. When it does that, the body immediately reacts to it and says im going to attack that, im going to make antibodies and teach my white cells to defend the body against something you produced in science. Its really novel in the whole power of the t cells to be a little industrial factory inside you to make this protein. How are ourselves reacting right now to covid19 without these vaccines . What are they doing and what are you trickg them to not do . The problem with this when you get that, youre n prepared for the virus. The virus has bunch ofru other arms and weapons inside used to attack your cells. When the wholeirus gets into you, your body trieso react against the outside protein but too late. Youre being overwhelmed byll the other weapons the buyers brings. By the way, just to be very clear, some cases, your body wi be Strong Enough to have a response. Some people are but my people are not. Fo the moment, its important to understand that some people will defend against t weapons and others cant. An when you give a vaccine, youre stripping away all the weapo, youre basicallyutting in pure protein, making your body ready to arm itself against the bars and when the virus comes, your body is ready waiting to ambush it. What are they made of . Are they natural components . What are the dangers . What are potential side effects putting this in our body . There are always side effects to any medicine. Anybody who has taken aspirin or tylenol knows that. You have to be careful about what you do but in this instan instance, weve conquered the problem of these natural an rna. The problem is it was first thought that if you put them into your body, they would cau cause, cells would cause a reaction. Well, it took three decades and some really hard work of scientists never recognized the work initially. Some of them would dismiss it. To take away the ability of the mrna when you put into your body to cause the reaction. Now, we know very clearly that at least in the short term, when you give a couple shots of this, the chances of bad reaction have gone down dramatically because we have manipulated the mrna, the Information Package that contains all the data of the virus protein into your body. We got rid of that. I think that is exciting because that is a seminal invention. This is what is important, this whole event is called Something Else. Its not just that we may have cracked the code of developing a vaccine of covid. Likely we will also, from this begin to attack other viruses and disorders. Hiv, for exciting example. This is exciting. Our viewers are listening intently right now because were not getting any phone calls. I want to encourage them to start calling in with comments and questions. We live in the Eastern Central part of the country. Mountain c pacific 202 748800. Medical professionals 202741 2027418002. What you are just saying, this is a virus made up of the common cold, this is not the flu, correct. What does this mean, the discovery of a vaccine by these two companies, what does it mean for any future pandemics related to influenza like we saw with th spanish flu. Th is very good news from a technical perspective. Lets very clear. The technical problems that the biotech industry has largely had a huge jump, it is quite unimaginable the doors it opens up scientificay. However, those scientific dioveries will help fight back future problems will face an equalroblem unless we learn from what we have done. Educationally, and manufacturin lets go back to the technical side the technical side is very interestg. It takes a long time to develop a flu vacci todayay. You prepare for every year. However, this new kind of vaccine, it is conivable that from the start, 60in days later, he would have a new vaccine. W, weve seen it. Weve sn it happened right in front of our eyes right now. Normally it would take six to ten years for new vaccine. Weve had fro the start of zero, the beginni of the year, 12 months later, we are on the cusp of approval of two new vaccines. This is remarkable. Weve learned with the gold stanrd, the fda, all of thed global scientists, germany, u. S. , elsewhere to unravel these viruses, we have for the first time now, and opportunity to feel confident, if we can solve all these other nontechnical things, distribution and all of the things required for this, we know the biotech industry will be able to solve for future pandemics and that is very encouraging. Lets get to phone calls. Your on the air with doctor jeremy levin. Good morning. They ought to try highspeed trains automobiles off the roa roads. Offtopic. Mary in oklahoma. I am 72. How soon can you get approved by the cdc . How soon can i get the shot . Great question. We know if the final safety steps are satisfactory need to trust in the fda. They got a great process for doing this. By the end of the month, they will have reviewed the details and very shortly thereafter, i am confident they will do the same with modernity. Once they have the initial safety package, we know both pfizer and moderna and other companies are beginning manufacturing. So likely, 50000 dices doses by the end of this year. Once the first initial dose has gone to First Responders those in critical need, hopefully will decide this it is vital that there be cooperation between the Incoming Administration and Current Administration to ensure it goes smoothly. Once that happens, then immediately following, you and i and many like us will feel good that we are not going to get the distribution coming through over january through may. As soon it gets to you at your particular home, i dont know but i am confident the wheels are rolling and i am confident for a few reasons. Number one, im confident the leader of this process is one of the most outstanding track records for producing vaccines. He is exceptional and he is a doctor and knows exactly what he wants to do and exactly how to it. If we could about the politics and focus on science and distribution, we will get it soon. Michael and nevada. A. Why did they he it and do this and that . 90 of us dont know we havent, people make it soundli like peoe ar dying in the streets for god sakes. Go ahead. It is interesting because 2,150,000 plus 260,000 people dead, we are going up to 40000 unless we are super careful. Youre just n seeing it. Pele fget elections and politics. They dont forget a gravesite. Each person who dies is a person who is loved, somebody treased by the family. As far as i am concerned, it is not a question of dying inindustry. That happened actually fro that happened in the 1h century in europe. That did happen but right now, what we are dealing with is a National Catastrophe and frankly, anybody who sees it otherwise is really causing a problem. Let me be very blunt. You need, and those around you need to understand, this is not trivial. The economic consequences inhe physical consequences. The english it costs our nion. I am not prepared for one minute to say that anyone of those lives isnt importa. If it was cancer, he would be. If we had a pandemics of cancer, whatould you be saying . Its going day by day by day. Lets not kid ourselves. Diana, you are next. Ol thank you. Id like to ask doctor levin, i am s excited about the vaccine. I have been up and downbout, i guess because of the transition, things coming out on tweets and stuff. Ive had my doubts making me more on doubtful. I have stage three copd. I am 58 years old. How will we know whenhe time comes if we will be prioritized . Really good question. I am sorry aut the copd. I know how tough that is, ive treated many pients over the years and i fully understand what thiseans to you. It is a tough one. Look, number one, if we have a coherent medical response, lunch is based on medine, people like yourself, anybody with a Major Medical issue will be prioritized. I cannotma imagine that any of those running the program and or in the Incoming Administration an possibly not prioritized somebody of your kind. How will you know it . Im hoping tha locally your local government healthlt officials will beble to, tell you exactly where and wn. I would encourage you to have a discussi with them. Ask them, about this problem, what are you going to do . In my case for example, what i do is i go every two weeks to the town council and brief my town council here in connectic connecticut, the mayor of 37000 people, i educate everybody on every single thing we know. We got a response plan, everybody in the town knows whats going to happen. Everybody is in touch with the hospitals and doctors local gurgle government. So we are organized. I urge youo demand the same from your local community. Confident can you give diana and others have underlyin condions and taking other medications that this vaccine and t work is companies did would not interfere or have negative consequences for them. We dont know everything about these vcines yet. We really dont. We had aut 100,000 people in total, which is a lot. We dont get have a full profile of which patients will respond back people of color or diabetes, etc. Young or old but we are going to get there. The best information we have er decades and decades of use of vaccines is in general, they do not interfere. Just to put something to rest as we talk about this, there was a complete lie in 1986 that vaccines cause autism. Lie spread around the world and led to an enormous amount of doubt about vaccines. Unfortunately, that was a lie. Itas a complete lie and eventually retracted byhe publication that put that out. However, theamage was done. W youre asking me the right question, does the vaccine cause any problems . We dont know enough about it but based on all the vaccines weve seen over the years and the excellee we now have production and theafety profiles of the fda will look at and assess, i am very confident that these vaccines will have a significant effect with minimal outcome. I cant, but i am pretty sure. Enough so that i would recommend once the fdaec has approved it,y family,yself and others that i know tickets. Helen, you are next in california. Here is my concern. Ive bee reading articles about this virus will for couple of months and i have been reading articles on the same virus. As my concern we are political and influencing hard science. The fact that allf aac sudden wereoming out with this miracle vaccine. You know this is very dangerous. The medication only developed and testedd within what, a yea end you give it out to people . It defies the Scientific Method and im sure youre aware of that. Youre talking about the detrimental effect on the economy the pandemic is having. Yes, it is you do not inject people with untested medications and vaccines i dont know, as you have been influenced. The economist lets have him respond to th. Helen, great comments and i understand les talk about an experiment on people. Russia did that. They didnt even run through a te, they just basicallyin figured ey had a vaccine and started vaccinating peoe before it has been athingar remotely compared to what pfizer, sedona a other hundreds of companies are not involv in this have done and have galvanize you are right, unfortunaly, because of the enormou political elements y and i listen to, its coming from everywhere this was a huge amount of uncertainty in it. I urge you to take the following steps. Please, as we look at thi vaccine, understand we have a couple of supercold standards. Youre dealing wh an industry full of people want t find yours. Yours their lives. They will give these to their kids. This is the industry that delired you some of the most extraordinaryures cancer are emerging. Other antirus. Theres a lot of evidence industry, the intentions of the industry are pure. Then you have an fda. This is t gold standard. Theold sndard around the world and against enormous pressure, political pressures to hasten the process, do it before the election, we have to salute them because they said no, we are going to run the right process. Take a moment to read the letters and guidance as they put out. These are exceptional guidances. Have a lot of public what they arputting out the right approach. When i didnt have confidence in was prior to the standing up and saying more politics, which is refocusing on science. O then you have the large companie the first time ever, Large Companies alough politically they are going to follow the guidelines exactly as they began by theti fda in respect of political pressure. Pinkerton is a l in the industry has risen up in the Scientific Method you say is very powerful. It took three dades to solve this problem of the nra solved. It was tested pretty extensive. You that after giving this to millions of people we wont find things. Point, in you toour august of last year, the administration took away the very office that monitors for fety. Thats why the transition from the current efforts through to the new administration need to be serious. You noonly have to get the vaccine distributed efficiently to the right people you also have to monitor and have to monitor and understand what the safety issues are and like i said befe every measurement is a safety iue but i am confident based on what we have seen today that is is a very effective andafe approach. Katie from marylanyou are on the air. Question is im curious about th longterm situation once people start getting these vaccines, sically is covid going to go away orill we have to kee getting this every year for years to come. Guest superb questn. The best that w know today is number one, covid is not going away. Number two, we may have boosters buthe goo news about this is if the 90 plus efficacy and safety profile is there, this will be much better than the flu vaccinines weve taken. And yet it i only 40 to 60 effective so im very confident that in the pfile i would be willing to go to my walmart, cvs, any of the major distributors out there but it isnt going away. The genie is out of the bottle and unfortunately w are going to have to live with it. It isnt going away why, does it mutate or change every day like the flu . It is mutating. We do see that, but the good news about the mutations remember what i said earlier on this new type of vaccine can prove it in 60 days you could have a new version of the vaccine to attack anything the virus throws at us so you will and we have seen mutations. Im grateful that today we havent seen one that makes it more very land or more dangerous. We have seen the ones that seem to be able to infect more but not ones that have gone the added step that makes it a lot more vicious. There is also the possibility that over time will. Hos you are a medical professional. What do you do . Caller im an oncologist [inaudible] the effectiveness of the immune system how do the vaccines, how much effective will it be because we already receiving immuno suppressors that will develop a good strong antibody to offer some suggestions here said to you he himself is undergoing therapy and itsap part of it so how dos the vaccine work, we dont know enough about it however if you would be kind enough to link us together i would be happy to introduce this is a question thats been asked before and i suspect people of all of the nccancer centers need to know tt answer because many are undergoing the same kind of therapy and its not just cancer. Its like lupus and even multiple sclerosis where you have the efforts to reduce the immune system. Its a very important question and i dont have the answer for you but im sure wcan get you to the people who do. If folks go to your website, could this doctor and others reach out to you that way . Please do so. For the doctor that just asked his question and others that have questions will. Good morning and thank you for taking my call. I would like to ask how are the american peopleto expected to trust vaccine manufacturers when they will not even stand behind the product themselves and any type of problem they are just referred to it seems to me if they were safe the manufacturers would stand behind their product and also any time you watch daytime television now you see advertisements against products pushed upon the people now to find out they were not safe. You touched on a plane that is so sad honestly because of the following. We created an industry essentially suing people for other things when they do it with the best intentions. Every medicine has a side effect. The question is have you given them intentionally to hurt somebody. Let me give you an example. This whole fuss around hydroxychloroquine that came around and people started talking about it in march, terrible, this isnt a drug for covid. In the counterpoints, every single manufacturer of the vaccine, every manufacturer of the new antiviral will we have fimany firms looking for the opportunity to make money off the suffering of others. So i could say to you lets be a little cautious about pointing the finger at the industry. This industry yes there have been bad actors but not once did the best of my knowledge, not ones did anybody put out a product with the intention to harm another patient. To the contrary, everybody goes to work every morning to the best of my knowledge and asks the question how can i help a patient and yes there may be side effects. Thats why we have the fda and why we are fortunate we do have insurance work not because we believe that its going to cause an injury but rather we know that there are people out there will. We started this conversation talking about how the industry pivoted at the beginning of this pandemic. That they were largely focusing on cancer and you said money poured in. Explain thes process of how muh money we are talking about and the margins of profit for these companies. I collected 47 histories of individual ceos and published em in june. And just askedo the queion like you asked what happened and what were you thinking about, what did you do, not about the technologies but the the reallife stories of these individuals in the time of cod19. What i did there by the way to be very clear all of the proceeds from that go to the research so it isnt something that i am promoting for that reason. But what happened was that when you find a new technology often a scientist will go and seek funding from the venture capitalists. They have had to go to a number of different sources themselves to get a pool of money to invest and the vast majority of the companies do not produce anything. Unfortunately theyailed but the greattrength of america this is a strategic strength is that we formed a pool of capital ft in the hands of the venture capitalists and others and created an indusy in banking that allows you to say oka ive got enough of an idea but its worthwhilerying out because it could help a patient and so the individual scitist goes and meets theentureee capitalists and they said let us help you pull this together. Let us test ts technology. Now this hpens time and time agai being new antivirals, cancer et cetera and the mey came in. The idea wasnt so much on the return. The belief was you would find the medicine and if it is a good medicine there would be a return. Let meive you an exaly silar result events that occurred when cancer was first tackled using the new therapies. In 2007 there was a Company Called developg [inaudible] in a small cancer, melanoma. Nobody believed in it. Its difficult for them to be successful because nobody believed in it until bristolmyers under the leadership said wait a second we have to change bristolmyers. He and the team thought there were tenlinical trial in cancer immunology at that time. They poured capital into the Country Company they went from the Clinical Trials to 2,500. 50 of all of the investment in the biotechnology was going into it. Of course they wanted a prophet but let me ask you a question. Patience and innovation and if you can solve that, then the people who deliver those drugs do deserve a good product. I have Close Friends and family there were four individuals i know personally and now you know whats going on here. All of them, one was a little girl, 16 that had been fighting cancer and all of them were sent home with no treatment they had symptoms and they were all sent home with no type of treatment. All of them wound up in the hospital. Anrl elderly lady died. She was healthy but passed away. The 16yearold passed away of pneumonia and as far as i am concerned, they have blood on their hands for sending people home with no treatment after theyve been diagnosed. I am not a conspiracy theorist. Isi do not believe in a lot of these conspiracies but also research in the state of kentucky that doctors were about buying up hydroxychloroquine in canada, doctors were buying it up and how safe it is and how convinced it prevents malaria and pneumonia. And im just so sorry, i cant experience and one is still in the hospital one on a ventilat ventilator. Im very, very disturbed by the fda, the cdc and how they are allowing people to die if you like they have blood on their hands. Im sorry for what has that you know. Se what a you thinking as you aregu listening to her . My heart goes out to you. It is devastating. And your story is horrible. Its not the cdc or the fda responsible for what you saw. There is something really bad when the vips can getreatment and people on the stree cant. My heart goes out to the families and i ct imagine anybody more horble but this isnt the fda. Their job is to approve and to ensure the safety and efficacy, not distribute it or make the decision not to treat the ople. But what youre describing is something that i believe millions are experiencingcr acrs the nion and early on somebody sa there was a gentleman from nevada. It isrom the localospitals to understand this we he the right to ask people. We have the right t ask that when we have a new therapyhat it be distributed eally to everybody and as soon as possible a particularly those who have cancer t like the doctr that he had previously. So i am desperately sorry. My heart goes out to m you but i know what you are experiencing and again it isnt due to the cdc or the fda. It is the local medical decision. I want to get your thoughts on a piece written yesterday by the former fda commissioners they mentioned in this piece that there are now manmade antibodies that could treat covid once you contract it. Are you familiar and could you explain . There are two companies both of whom are producing these types of antibodies. They generally reserve for a very ill cases in hospitals. What they are is essentially an artificial way of generating the same kind of antibody your body would produce infighting back and infection. Terrific folks, toptier. Its important. However, it is for those in hospitals we need to have fullblown Clinical Trials to understand how they will affect the individuals. But i have confidence like many other types of antibodies when they are directed they can have an effect. I would say one thing though again to debbies point. You know, the fact is that these are given to the vips, not the person in the street and this is something we need to really address because there are so many communities that are needing, just as much as anybody else and there should be no ability for them not to get these kind of therapies. Host we will go to ohio, your question or comment. Id li to know, i am allergic to egg whites and i know a lot of vaccines are raisedn egg whites. Ive also been told sometimes there areerums available that are not with egg whites but i can never get them. They are not available to me. Do you know or can you tell me will this be safe for somebody with an allergy to egg whites . Guest good point. The oldshioned way of making vaccinesere in fact in eggs you are quite right and im sorry you have this allergy. It is a real troublesom trouble. But yes, i believe that as a manufacturing process for the modern vaccine it does not involve the egg whites. So, you should feel good about that. We will have to make sure of it but i think we are going to see a flood of new vaccines that have nothing to do with egg whites whatsoever. My view some others are coming along which are using the same process, but by and large modern vaccine approaches are understanding that this allergy exists. Understand you need to avoid it and so lets take a look at how they are manufacturing all of them and make sure its got nothing to do with him egg whites and it will be there. Host good morning. Do the flu shots and vaccines break down the immune system in your body, and ive never taken aak flu shot or anything. And i believe that that is what happens. And where did covid19 evolve from. I guessk thats about it. Thank you. Good questions. Number one, going to be an easy one. Im kind of like you for years and years i didnt get flu shots because i didnt think i needed them. I got a little older and figured out its time. And i want to tell you something. Ive taken it and i know millions, hundreds of other people that have no evidence whatsoever, whatsoever that it breaks down the immune system. In fact, to the contrary. Now, we also know measles, mumps, chickenpox, all of these great vaccines, and again they protect you fundamentally. They do not harm you. And in fact if you do not take them, kids who dont take them for example, measles, mumps, chickenpox, et cetera they have a greater chance of getting sick. So, yes, i am probably like you. I urge you to go and get your flu shot and i am for sure going to take the shot for the covid vaccine. The people of the safety profile hes showing what it does. Where does it come from, well, theres been a lot of speculation and a lot of ideas floated around. Lets debunk number one. It wasnt made manufactured. It came like most of the viruses, it came probably when it jumped from an animal to a human being. That happens. We have seen this in the past. It is natures way of doing things unfortunately, and the more we can come into proximity with some of these animals, bats, different kinds of rodents, anything like that, they can spread like lightning, so i am fortunately, thats the most likely. I cannot say for 100 certainty that that is exactly where it came from, but we believe to the best of our knowledge that it came fromm Central China from an animal market where you had contactth with one individual wh anan infectious virus out of trillions and it happened to pass to the human being. Can you talk about the history of each one and one and how its developed or mutated overer the years and the dangerf this compared to what we are seeing right now . Well, as you know it swept over us and there were a lot of concerns and really, really good set of plans put in place to deal with the fure h1 n1. And those pns were put aside we didnt, we knew what was happening. We prepared for itnd the good news about h1 n1 is it helped us get an early start on covid. Why, because wenew aut the sequences, the genetic sequences that underlay that particular virus. Host and what is it before you go on . Well, that sequence is the package of information that tells the virus how to replicate, how to grow, how to a infect a human being. And we were able to understand very quickly will that sequence looked like, how to sequence it and find the different pieces of information and how to then dig out the relevant pieces because some of them are just how does the virus itself and take energy. No, the question is how do you stick to a human cell. What is the machinery that sticks to the human cell. How does it get in there and hijack the cell and cause it to die. Those are the important pieces of information. We learned a lot from it about how to do that. So we went from not knowing to taking several a year or so to find this out to doing the same process with covid within a uple ofonths. Really remarkable. Rapid city south dakota. Yesthank you for having me on the show today. I did have a question. Earlier he mentioned you know, nurses, those living on the streets, and i appreciated that comment just because it sounds to me like the wealthy are able to get treatment and right now the impoverished or not. So, my question is how do we fix that the vaccine itself is it just going to fix that issue or er there Something Else we need to do so people in our own country and people elsewhere that dont, that are not wealthy are getting the treatment for the virus. Number one, most of us are not wealthy. Okay, so weve got to figure this out for everybody. It doesnt matter whether you live on the streets. Unfortunately, if youve lost your job or in fact you live in a tower in some city. Everybodys got to get it. For me at the end of the day this requires, its an obligation and i use that word again, its an obligation and i will go one step further, it is a moral obligation for our government now and in the future to coordinate and ensure that there is full access to this vaccine. So there isnt just something you get and others dont and by the way if only a few get it, then the likelihood is that it will keep coming back. Not only will there be terrible tragedy among those who dont get it, they will actually be a recycle. It will keep cycling through the population who doesnt have the vaccine, and it will keep on getting those who have had it when it wears off, so this is a national issue. It isnt a state issue or a town issue or a village issue. It is a national issue. And then i will go one step further. Its an international issue. We need to figure out and cooperate with peoplee around e world to ensure that buckets of this infection are not back with the vaccine in a concerted effort. And america can lead the way, definitely. We have the vaccine, the ability, the strength. Ewe know what to do, we need the intent [inaudible] host you broke up at the end of what you were saying. I think we got the point though. If i can, if you are still there and you can hear me, i just have a question for you about treatments that we have seen given to people. Zinc, vitamin d, melatonin, and im wondering the science of that and also could you address peoples beliefs that if they take those things now that they can prevent themselves from getting it or from having a severe case of it. Guest im sorry i broke up. My apologies to the previous questionnaire. Question. I hope you got the point. The National Effort needs to be addressed and it needs to have the political will about it not only nationally but internationally. With regards to the various things youve mentioned. What we do know is that there appears some studies that suggest vitaminin d has a posite effect. Dont know if that isow fully correct, but i do know that if appropriately and following the instructions, not taking too much cant do much harm but you might do some good, and we need to understand what that means. Much more importantly, we need the consistent world to wear masks. It isnt about a therapeutic. Masks work. I think ive said this many times. If you were to go and visit a foundry where you are melting steel, you wouldnt give two seconds of hesitation to put on protective glasses to stop it from making you blind if it gets into your eyes. But for some reason, we politicize masks. I cannot understand it. Its why would we not stop a virus being breathed in if somebody next to us had it. Host i just want to finish by asking what are you watching for in the coming weeks with the new vaccines . Guest very straightforward. Number one, complete coordination between the Current Administration and the Incoming Administration. Critical. Number two, i want to watch and see the safety profile of both modern andna pfizers data and couple with that not just the safety data for the full array of the data showing which populations theyve tested and how theyve tested them and then id like to see the fda review in the most transparent possible way to give everybody the confidence that we actually have this in the kind of shape that i believe it actually is. That needs to be transparent, and then lastly, i want us all to have a fullblown understanding of how the various machinery, the u. S. Army project warp speed, the various large distributors all our gearing up to provide distribution across the nation. Thank you everybody for the questions.
