Protecting Public Health in the pandemic. And this includes social distancing, rules, facemask requirements, and closing stores. The government enjoys broad support for these coronavirus policies, but there are loud opponents making outrageous claims saying politicians are using Public Health to disguise the erosion of personal freedoms. Similar they say to hell, the nazi party use the power of parliament to dismantle democracy. Im burnt off in berlin. This is the day to be allowed to oppose the measures even to deny the obvious told us it is and must be possible in a free and open country to fight. This is a fake, this is about correct that anyone who doesnt understand that, im sorry. Massive restrictions on fundamental rights are being pounced. Just because your love doesnt make you right. And it certainly doesnt mean you are in the majority.

In the United States and to all of our viewers around the world. Welcome, but we begin the day with a clear and controversial message about the current pandemic and the ones yet to come. Today, both houses of the German Parliament passed legislation designed to remove a legal gray area concerning the governments power to protect Public Health. A strong legal underpinning for decisions such as requiring face masks in public, were shutting down businesses. And the legislation was debated today and moved through parliament quickly. The reason lawmakers say the government still has work to do before the current pandemic ends. And they say future governments will need the same Legal Backing if and when another pandemic here is what the German Health minister yen spahn said today about the legislation. The protection of health is not absolute. But we have to sign to health protection. We dont have a relatively greater weights in this pandemic. We have decided by a large majority in society until youre in parliament. But we do not want to accept an overstraining our Health System that we cannot absolutely avoid suffering through illness, intensive care being on a ventilator and death with us. We want to reduce the suffering to the best of our abilities. Of more tonight, im joined now by andrew goldman. He is a member of the German Parliament for the business friendly f. T. P. Party. He also happens to be a medical doctor by training dr. Allman. Its good to have you on the day again, why was this legislation needed decisions by the government, restricting personal freedoms, closing stores, etc. Are they on the verge of being unconstitutional . I wouldnt go that far yet. We needed this debate in the parliament. It was overdue. And this help democracy works in germany. We have legislation power and also the extent of power and we control each other. And thats why it was important that we had the debate didnt happen for a very long time in our parliament. And honestly, i do not really see so for the personal freedom is eroded, the major problem is the acceptance of the rulings. And so far these rulings were done without, without palminteri and power. And that was necessary to do, even though i do not agree with all the laws that were passed today. The legislation that was passed to address is the current situation, the current pandemic. Do you think that it will make it easier for future governments to react when and if another pandemic occurs . I dont think so because there was this law passed very quickly. This was important. It was passed very quickly. However, we from the opposition. A lot of critics on the law and the free democrats also brought in a new motion with a different law that was more thorough. Only written, clear cut, actually looking at the different stages of a pandemic and how to react to the make. Because the, the situation that were facing here so far is that there is a majority of course accepting those rules. But a lot of those rulings are not very logical and doesnt really make sense. And this has to be debated again and again, of course, im not quite sure if this is going to stand by the constitutional a courts here in germany. So youre saying the legislation passed today may not stand up with its challenge before the Constitutional Court if theres a possibility that that could happen is nothing thats quite an unconstitutional. But theres a lot of lacking points in the law because the, the government needs to explain their ruling and also has to bring this into the parliament. And so far it just passed a bill and said, these are the, the rules that were going to do period. And that is not good enough. And then we have to be more precise in those laws. Could you tell me what is the one thing about this legislation that needs to be changed . What would you change . Well, 1st of all i would, i would really change what has to be done in a different situation. Dependent. He starts off, or you have to prevent an infection, and these are, of course, those rules that we know about this physical distancing wearing mask in the public, especially in Public Transportation or in buildings, buildings. Then the next step is when the endemic is quickly arising. This is the number of infections are increasingly very strongly then stronger measures have to be made. And this is, that is whats missing in this legislation. That the connection between what is happening and what has to be done is not there. It just says, if theres a pandemic situation, these are the things that we have to do, and that is not clear cut enough. Before we run out of time, dr. Let me get your reaction to the news that pfizer and by on tech have successfully end of the late stage trials for their coronavirus vaccine. I mean, thats wonderful news, isnt it . Oh, this is really wonderful news today. The press release by b. On tech and pfizer is very promising. I was still skeptical a week ago when we werent so sure if the effect of that vaccine goes through all age groups. This was in the press release today that it goes through the age groups, the effectiveness of the vaccine of 95 percent. Now im awaiting the primary publication of that data. And secondly, i do hope its not only put into the f. D. A. Filing. Its also put in the name of filing here for europe, so that we might have a new vaccine by march of next year. Yeah, im going to ask you about that. Pfizer says that it plans to ask the f. D. A. In the u. S. For emergency approval as soon as this week, when do you expect the request for approval here in europe . When is that request going to come . Well, i hope as soon as possible, of course, because we are in a similar situation as in north america. And is a company here in germany, cooperation with pfizer in the us. And i do hope i asked the company today. I didnt get any information about from them so far if theyre going to file student here in europe, because the filing situation is pretty much similar between the u. S. And in europe. Ok. Dr. Andrew allman member of the German Parliament dr. Own, we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. Thank you. Thank you for having, me again. Well, in the u. S. , the food and Drug Administration has given merges the approval to the 1st rapid coronavirus tests that can be done at home after a simple nasal swab. The result, positive or negative, appears in about 30 minutes. This test does require a doctors prescription, but it bypasses the lengthy process of waiting for results from a lab. But this is good news against a global backdrop of restrictions and lockdowns. Here in europe, there is a patchwork of National Responses to the corona virus. So this map shows all of the countries that have imposed a partial or total nationwide lockdown as it stands tonight. There are 17 countries with a go from austria, which began a total lockdown on tuesday. Youve got germany, which is in the middle of a 4 week partial lockdown stores, schools are open, restaurants, bars and gyms are closed. The World Health Organization says that more than half of new infections reported worldwide last week came from europe. And the situation is worse in the United States. What we see here are the states that have issued a stay at home order, similar to european lockdowns. And as you see here, new mexico is the only state that does that. Theyre supposed to be color coded and new mexico is the only state that is telling people that they have to stay home. Other states are advising that they do that, which is california. You see there kentucky and then in the northeast we have the states of massachusetts and rhode island, where the days best news in the pandemic is a transatlantic story. The u. S. Pharmaceutical giant pfizer and germanys buy on tech have announced that they are corona virus vaccine has passed all safety tests and trials by on tags. C. E. O. Says regulators in europe and the u. S. Could approve the vaccine as early as december safety. And that its so far indicates that they feel its their thought of it, that could happen that we get not what it was until mid of these tend to have to provide 1st millions of those as an experienced to the 2 divisions. Get in the pool, put on a conversation. All right, for more now on the latest in the coded vaccine raise, im joined by a dog and hes a senior scholar and on top incentives for public for help security. Its good to have you on the program. The pfizer biotech vaccine, it has taken just 10 months to develop, which is a remarkably short time. How can we be sure that its safe . We can be sure that it is safe because weve seen in animal data, weve seen phase one in phase 2 and now face 3 data. You have to remember that the speed with this, with just exene was made, had to do with the fact that it was using a new technology and m. R. Named vaccine platform. And thats where we cut this feet out and wasnt that the safety was at there were corners cut in phase one or 2 trials. We will have to follow people once they are vaccinated. 3 years, like we do with all the axioms. But in the middle of a pandemic, were going to get an emergency use authorization based on the safety data that we have so far. And it does look good. And then you think we have to, to continue to follow as i said, to make sure nothing late longer term occurs. But i do think everything is it is pointing the right way when it comes to this vaccine amiss. Are you concerned that there are no long term observations with this vaccine . Im not concerned in the sense that any time we have a vaccine it gets approved and then we follow people out in what are called phase for trials. So when the h. P. V. Vaccine was that was approved, we didnt have 2 or 3 or 4 years of safety data, but we followed people even after it was approved and it ended up being safe. I dont have a major concern most the vaccines that make it this far dont usually have long term consequences. I think its important to study that. But to me, i dont think theres going to be a signal yet. I think that in the middle of a pandemic, you also have to weigh the risk in the benefit. And i do think that the vaccines, the way were seeing them now, are really, its the benefits outweigh any risk that, that we have with not having a long term data. Do you plan to get the vaccine . I do plan to get the vaccine. As soon as im in an eligible group, i am a Health Care Worker and take care of covert patients. So i may be in the 1st priority group, so i will gladly get this vaccine. We know pfizer in biotech say the vaccine is 95 percent effective and i know that they were static about that number. 95 percent. Why is that number . So we press the numbers so impressive because we never thought that a 1st generation vaccine using a new technology would reach those types of that level of protection from symptomatic over. We were looking at 5060 percent. Thats what we would have been happy with. But to see them really hit it out of the ballpark 90 percent really made people take a step back and understand that this technology does have a lot of promise. Not just for cove it, but for future Infectious Disease vaccines as well. We know that vaccine denial is likely to be an issue of blood signs of the atlantic. There will definitely be some safety concerns among the public. How many people will need to be vaccinated to ensure herd immunity and to stop this pandemic . Its likely going to be maybe 7080 percent of the population. If you assume that everybody has the same risk of, of transmitting the infection. It may also the fact that were not 1st looking at her, the media, were looking to try and decrease the virulence of this infection to be able to stop people from needing to be hospitalized. So we may be able to give our hospitals breathing room before we get near that herd immunity threshold. So its important to remember that this vaccine because it is so effective, is likely to really be able to take the pressure off of hospitals and take the pressure off i. C. U. Beds and ventilators. And thats really whats driving a lot of the Public Health concern about this virus thats whats lacking. The curve is about is about keeping it below hospital capacity. How do you think governments and Public Health officials should deal with this vaccine skepticism that we, that we see we have to really be as transparent as possible about the process that led to the development of these vaccines. What the Clinical Trials show in terms of both the safety and the efficacy, try to be able to answer any question that may come up. Tell people what we know, what we dont know and really detail them on all of the benefits of this vaccine may provide and help them make this risk benefit calculation. We have to be proactive. We cannot be reactive because the anti vaccine groups will already be going after this vaccine prior to its prior to its arrival. You know, and from expecting too little to expecting too much from these vaccines are what you take a listen to what mark ryan said today hes with the World Health Organization. Take a listen through some people think the vaccine will be in a sense the solution, the unicorn, weve all been chasing. Its not having vaccines, its going to give us a huge chance. But if we add vaccines and forget the other, things does not go to 0 a measure. Are you concerned that once the 1st vaccine injection is given . Are you concerned that will see people do drop social distancing, stop wearing face masks, and let down their guard. Were already seeing people let down their guard, and i do think that there is that danger. You have to remember that the vaccine isnt going to be a magic bullet unless its coupled with a lot of other things in till we get across a herd immunity threshold. And its going to take a process of years to get the world vaccinated. So koven 1000. 00 is not going to go right to a sleazy. We will still need to think about what measures we need to do to keep ourselves safe, especially for those who arent able to get the vaccine or who are the vaccine doesnt work for a number, not everybodys going to be in a priority. So this is going to be important that we have to get through this process by a lot, by using a lot of common sense things youve been doing from the beginning, wearing a mask social distancing washing your hands a lot. All of thats going to continue for some time, even when the vaccine is available. Let me ask you, before we run out of time, do the German Health ministers as they could get vaccines will not be compulsory. Do you think thats a sensible policy . Its going to be hard to make a vaccine compulsory when its only if im a available on an emergency use basis. I think once you see full license york and a much more robust safety profile, then i think you can see, youll see schools, for example, or employers making these vaccines a requirement as a condition of entry. But i think in the early rollout of this vaccine, its likely going to be just something is highly encouraged, but not something that we will have a basis for a mandate. Because of the, because of the lack of all of the long term safety data, which we wont have for a couple of years. And which will then will lead to the full licensure of that x. E. A mission onto the Johns Hopkins center for security missions. Going to have you on the show, we appreciate your time in your valuable insights tonight. Thank you. And here well, a city that has tested all of its residents that describes the northwest in cliff city of liverpool. It has become the 1st city in the u. K. To carry out mass testing of the entire population around 100000 people have been screened for the virus in just the past 2 weeks. It is hoped that blanket testing will help to stop transmission of the virus, especially by carriers with no symptoms charlottes else until reports. This is being billed as the u. K. s latest weapon in the fight against covert 19, with the city of liverpool on the front line. That piloting a citywide testing scheme, the 1st of its kind in the u. K. And a massive p. R. Campaigns underway to enlist the hoffa 1000000 People Living in liverpool, the move people get tested, the better we can protect that great city and drive the disease down that start the fight back against code. Lets get tested. Lets do it together. Thats do it for liverpool. Local authorities, a set up dozens of testing sites across the city. And they brought in the army to help. The logistics considerations of this operation have been significant. So we deployed 2000 troops to the city of liverpool within 3 days across 45. 00 sites. Liverpool volunteered to try the mass testing operation after recording one of the highest rates in europe. With origins, hopes that by testing as much of the population as possible, theyll identify more asymptomatic cases and break the chains of transmission. The scheme has tested over a 100000 people since it started a week and a half ago. But theres still a long way to go ahead of time where its good. Its a good idea that ive had mine done both me and my husband were negative. I think to get the whole population tested, to be able to identify who started, particularly those who have it and show any symptoms. Its imposter should be up and thats really lost. The fill it with action takes off processing tests quickly is the key to a scheme like this asymptomatic volunteers, myself included, are asked to do this, want them sounds you get the results on your phone within an hour. These are the lateral flow devices that are being tossed in 5 like this one across liverpool. Now a lot like a pregnancy test, they can determine results in 20 to 30 minutes. And the benefit is the results can be processed right here, the testing site, instead, then a lab. And thats why these tests are the backbone of the pools math test. And theres some dispute about how many positive cases are being missed. Critics also fear that getting a negative test could give people a false sense of security that results only valid until the moment you leave the building. And once again, at risk of being exposed by local councillor, pulled brown says this scheme was never designed to be a silver bullet. We need to explain to the public. This is not a passport to misbehave. This is part of the jigsaw of wider public protection. It will be difficult to tell what direct effects the scheme house on causing infections is happening while england is in lockdown. Who brant says . Every asymptomatic case thats identified is a step in the right direction. As weve identified through that program, 527 people who we now know were positive, who had no symptoms, and were not previously have known that they were symptomatic and infectious. And they now can take steps to take themselves out of circulation and protect themselves and their family and their friends. Original plans the last 2 weeks. This pilots likely to be extended with increasing public in games from top of their priority list. But its a blueprint for the u. K. s testing strategy. And the governments already announced more testing schemes in dozens of locations across the country. Thousands of people took to the streets of polands capital, warsaw all today to show their opposition to a Supreme Court ruling that almost totally bans abortions, Police Force Protesters away from the parliament building, which the protesters wanted to blockade. The courts ruling bans abortions for your reversible congenital defects, including those for fatal illness. Todays demonstration was the latest in a series of protests following last octobers court ruling. A polish women decide to have an abortion will now be forced to travel abroad in even greater numbers than before. One destination is neighboring germany, where the abortion laws are more liberal. Bush and im barack and has worked for the Initiative Time to barbara or aunt barbara for 5 years. She helps polish women have abortions in berlin, her phone as her constant companion, a woman who had an abortion here 2 weeks ago, is calling her right now on the what is going to probably amount. She has some problems and would like to go to the doctor. But of course she doesnt know which doctor she should go to. Our question can or cannot say, or how she should act. Is this a doctor she can trust or not . Its estimated that up 2150000 polish women have abortions each year illegally and foreign clinics and very fearfully. Thats why baton wants to help. She has been receiving more than twice as many calls since polands abortion law became more restrictive. The woman she is meeting now is pregnant, but her baby is severely deformed. Is about the time that she was completely stressed out. She cried for 2 days because she didnt want to bear a sick child. And she was suddenly forced to live out the words to avoid having the baby. The woman traveled hundreds of kilometers to berlin to protect her identity. We turn the camera polands abortion law is the strictest in europe. A gynecologist who regularly performs abortions for women from poland tells us about her experiences on and on. And we generally see women of all ages. We see teenagers who became pregnant through rape or through a moment of thoughtless behavior. Very, very young women between the ages of 14 and 17, but we also see women who are well into their fortys and we meet again in the evening. The woman who she picked up from the train station has just seen the doctor. The ultrasound clearly showed that the baby had no chance of survival. The abortion is scheduled for the next day and the organisms are both dead before the diagnosed have been confirmed. It doesnt look good that our doctor just asked why is it that the polish doctors havent already carried out the terminations missed the mark. But abortion, even under these circumstances, is illegal in poland. Thats why polish women look for help or brawn and find it. And berlin with the time to baba initiative of the day is almost on the conversation continues online, so well see you tomorrow.
