Month. And the number of new cases and hospitalizations continues to soar at the same time. Least lets go straight to cnns Diane Gallagher at the fedex shipping facility. Fedex is handling shipping for the western part of the country when it comes to the Coronavirus Vaccine. What do we expect to see in the coming hours . Reporter at this point fedex took off from this airport in grand rapids, michigan, about 45 minutes away from where the vaccine was manufactured near kalamaz kalamazoo, michigan. They landed in memphis, where their headquarters are, and they are divvying up all the vaccines, putting them on trucks, on planes, shipping them out to different cities, different hospitals across the western United States. U. P. S. Is doing the same thing at their headquarters in louisville, kentucky, for the eastern part of the United States. There are about 184,000 vials of this Pfizer Vaccine sent out today. There are about five doses in each vial. Were talking about a lot of doses but weve spoken so much about this chain of cold custody. So, theres a lot that goes into this. You mentioned those complex logistics. They have Bluetooth Technology thats not just monitoring the location and making sure theyre getting to the spot they need to go as speedy as they possibly can, but also the temperature, making sure that it doesnt get too warm. They have to stay in these super cold conditions, those vaccines. Negative 100 degrees fahrenheit. Thats done with dry ice that both u. P. S. And fedex say they have plenty of experience working with. It can be dangerous and complicated but we have talked so much about the logistics here. That deserves a lot of attention. This is also emotional for so many people. The scientists, the people who were driving the truck, the pilots, the people who work at the airports and just people who are watching at home. One couple showed up here in grand rapids to say they just could not miss this moment. They wanted a glimpse of that plane taking off. This is so exciting. This is history right here. The first vaccines are going out. Im crying here. This is like man on the moon time. This is like where were you when. Reporter and you were here. I was here. My dad is in a nursing home. When were all vaccined, i can visit him again, spend time with him. Reporter of course, alex, so many other people across the world are in that same boat, unable to see their loved ones. We know, of course, those first people getting the vaccines, the hospitals, the Health Care Workers and those assisted living facilities. This glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, an emotional moment for so many. Diane gallagher, thank you so much. From that site in grand rapids, vaccine shipments will be traveling a few miles west to get to california. When they do, many doses will go to uclas Medical Center where Paul Vercammen joins us now. First off, california just reported staggering numbers. What are you learning . Reporter theyre absolutely horrifying, alex. More than 30,000 new cases. 122 new deaths. We also have a 10. 4 Positivity Rate and we have almost 3,000 californians in intensive care units, including 101 people in the icu here at ucla. So dr. Cherry, who runs the show here at ucla, says they expect to get the vaccines within a day or two and shots to go into his workers arms starting on wednesday. 11,000 workers. But one person who will not get the vaccine is dr. Cherry himself. He is part of the astrazeneca stril and got his second shot the other day. He wants to get out in front of this issue. I thought it was really important for me to contribute to the nefrt a different way. I was happy to have actually been eligible for the trial. I did receive two doses of some injecti injection. Dont know if im in the Placebo Group or the vaccine. But i think its important for people to participate in the clinical trial, hopefully it will make them less hesitant about taking the vaccine for himself. Reporter he called it an appalling history of racism in health care when it comes to research. He really wants the black and latino communities to understand, there is no harm in getting the vaccine and in order to beat back the virus, they need to get vaccinated and that will help achieve health equity. Back to you, alex. Paul vercammen with those terrifying numbers out of california. Thanks much. Lets talk with Infectious Disease epidemiologist and science lead for covid tracking project. Thank you so much for joining us. I do want to start on what paul was just talking about there. This issue of communication. We have seen all sorts of misguiding vaccine, disinformation that has been out there well before covid19 even entered the ether. How can we make sure that the right message, the Science Behind these vaccines is getting to the people who need to hear it most . Vaccine hesitancy dates back to when the smallpox vaccine was derived and people believed they would turn into cows because of how the vaccine was derived. Its been a persistent problem in the United States. As large and unprecedented as the vaccine rollout will be, so is the vaccine communication plan. We have so much misinformation to debunk. Theres been a lot of missteps in how its been presented from the naming of operation warp speed to even just confusing information about what the vaccine is, how its der vooifed and what it does to our body when administered. We have a lot of work over the next year to restore trust to make sure were talking from a national and local level and to make sure all communities, particularly communities of color, are trusting the science and trusting the communication about the science. Who isle we there . Who has to lead this . Great question. I think it comes from everybody from the federal government, those in positions of leadership need to be communicating correctly about this. Anybody who is in science and people trained in science communication. I for one spend a lot of time doing a lot of mythbusting and debunking misinformation as well as trying to increase science literacy and data comprehension. Its a collective effort from the Scientific Community and the federal government. Do you think that is the biggest hurdle in terms of people getting the vaccine . Ive read needing to vaccinecy nature 80 of the population in order to achieve anything close to herd immune it i. Thats a lot of people, a lot of logistics. In order to do that, its going to require a lot of trust being built. If we have people not willing to get the vaccine, and ive read statisticics as high as 50 , thats going to prolong this process of getting to the place of normalcy. What other obstacles are you seeing in terms of getting these 100 million doses to people . Lets remind our viewers, at least for the first vaccine to be authorized, it takes two doses. You need people to come in twice. Thats 400 million doses separated between 21 to 28 days. Thats a lot of appointments to track, a lot of logistics to manage. Were dealing with the shipment and timing of shipment and ensuring there arent delays as well as proper storage. We know the temperature storage for these vaccines is pretty costly and we have identified the locations that can do that. Its going to require a lot of things falling in place. I think we should be prepared for some hiccups because logistics sometimes have hiccups. I think theres a lot of excitement, optimism understandably we see the vaccine going out the door, literally, today. When will it actually have an impact, do you think . Ill be honest, when i saw that footage of the trucks leaving the department, the facilities, i choked up. It was so moving. Weve been waiting for this for so long. Im trying to calibrate my expectations and people around me to know that its going to be quite a while for us to be fully vaccinated as a country. We need to keep in mind we have priority groups, longterm health care facilities, and people at high risk, those over 65. Those need to happen before healthy adults. I personally am not expecting to get vaccinated before late summer early fall. Wow. That is that is quite far into 2021 as 30,000 americans have died just this month and Health Care Experts are warning that things are going to get worse in the coming weeks. Jessica, thank you for your time. Thanks for having me. Still ahead, the vaccines are approved and on their way to hospitals but there is some discrepancy over how many people could get vaccinated.

Along with trying to keep a roof over their heads, millions of americans are struggling to keep food on their tables as well. With coronavirus crippling peoples ability to earn money, food banks are seeing a spike in demand. In california with 30,000 coronavirus cases for the third consecutive day, the state is facing crises on multiple fronts. Lets speak with the president and ceo of st. Joseph center in los angeles, an organization on the front lines helping people facing eviction and food insecurity. Thank you for joining us today to discuss this critical topic. I want to ask, when you spoke to cnn earlier this year over the summer, you said the situation there was dire. How does it compare now . Well, thank you so much, alex, for having me. It is increasingly more severe. Families are absolutely facing eviction like the person in your previous segment, theyre desperate, families are beginning to turn to their vehicles for shelter. And im mortified when i see and connect with individuals and families that are coming to st. Joseph center, desperate for help. These numbers that were seeing out of california, just staggering, 30,000 cases in one day. Weve just learned. What do you think is the most crucial need for people there, besides the vaccine, which will hopefully come soon . Well, as you know, there was a housing, homeless and food crisis under way before the pandemic hit. And those folks who are struggling were the ones that were struggling before, and theyre the hardest hit. So, shelter is critically important. We are using motels, were using rvs that were generously donated by the governor of california and were doing everything we can to make sure children have the food they need. One in eight californians are suffering from food insecurity. And all of us are just so worried about the kids. Theyre not in school. And one in five children in california go to bed hungry. So we need to support our families and individuals who are struggling every day to get enough food to stay alive and survive. One of the bright spots this weekend has been the vaccine going out and across the country, ucla in los angeles, of course, is reportedly supposed to start giving the vaccine this week. Of course, one of the things doctors are concerned about is getting to communities that might be more fearful, skeptical of getting vaccines. Are you seeing that . Are you concerned about that . Well, certainly. Historically weve seen africanamericans have been challenged and targeted in a number of experiments. So, theres valid reason for concern and fear and worry that maybe this wont be a safe vaccine, but i will say that im trusting of our government here in california, the federal level. I believe it will be and is a safe vaccine. I plan to take it myself. And st. Joseph center will do whatever it takes to make the vaccine available to the most vulnerable individuals and families weve been serving for over 40 years. We dont have much time left. I would like to ask you what your message to congress would be right now. Well, we need a rent relief bill. We need them to pass rent relief and they need to Work Together across the aisle to do whatever it takes to pass a type of relief bill that will put food back on the tables of needy families and individuals. Were so grateful to our friends, jimmy kimmel and Andrew Witworth of the rams and how theyre stepping up to make the holiday bright, but come january 1st, families and individuals will face potential moratorium cliff and we need families to get the support they need. We need landlords to get the support they need to make it. The president of st. Joseph center, thank you for joining us and for everything you do. Thanks so much, alex.

Cdc director Robert Redfield has given the okay for pfizers Coronavirus Vaccine. He approved a cdcs Advisory Boards recommendationings meaning the vaccine can now be administered throughout the United States. Now, this comes as the first shipments of the vaccines are now being delivered in all 50 states. A monumental, truly, first step in defeating this pandemic. I spoke with cnn chief medical correspondent dr. Sanjay gupta earlier about this breakthrough. This is the sort of final checkoff, alex. You had the fda obviously issue their emergency use authorization on friday. That was after an Advisory Committee suggested they do so. And so of the same thing happened now with the cdc. So, the fda authorizes this vaccine formally, the cdc now recommends it formally, and they put it into this report that is essentially the Gold StandardInfectious Disease report that goes to people all over the country. It reaffirms a lot of the same thing people have been hearing for the same thing, that, in fact, after they review the data from these trials, the cdc, they find, in fact, it is a 95 , this particular vaccine, 95 effective in terms of preventing covid19. But they also talk about more specific things like adverse events. They found any Adverse Reactions tended to be mild and moderate and typically occurred in people between the ages of 18 and 35, interestingly. People older than 55 actually less likely to have these sorts of side effects and the side effects typically lasted on average about a day. They found no significant safety concerns based on your age, your race or any preexisting conditions. The likelihood of side effects was the same across those particular groups. Its more information, an important box to be checked, but as you well know, seeing reporters all over the country, the train is literally already moving in terms of getting the vaccine distributed so everything looks very much on schedule. I think the way to think about this, typically you think about medicines or vaccines or whatever and having a big stock supply and then its basically distributed as people as theres demand. Here because were in the middle of a pandemic and were in this emergency use situation, youll have vaccine going out pretty quickly after its manufactured. For example, pfizer, biontech, theres about 6. Th 5 million doses in this country. Were hearing 500,000 will go into a stockpile. The other 6 million will essentially be split in half, meaning two doses. Half the doses will go out now, 3 million doses, half will be kept in freezers. And the company will continue to manufacture these vaccines, 4 to 5 million doses per week. You do all the math and you also think about the fact that moderna may come online even at this same time next week. You start to get to the number of around 40 million doses possibly available bit end of the year. Now, theres caveats. The manufacturing has to go well. Moderna has to go online. Its all looking very favorable. If you put it together, 40 million doses possibly by the end of the year, that would mean roughly 20 Million People. Just because two doses per person, you should have Vaccines Available for 20 Million People by the end of the year. You start to look forward, you may see that continued manufacturing, maybe even increase in the amount theyre producing every week and possibly over vaccine makers. Johnson johnson and astrazeneca are in phase 3 trials. Thats how you start to get into the hundreds of millions of doses that will be necessary to be able volunteer vaccinate 06 to 07 of the people in this country. Thanks to dr. Sanjay gupta.

Were learning former democratic president ial candidate pete buttigieg, leading as joe bidens transportation secretary. Sources are telling cnn the former mayor is at the top of a list that includes several possible candidates. If he is picked, buttigieg would be the first lgbtq nominated to bidens candidate and if confirmed the first lgbtq cabinet secretary approved by the senate. We are learning president elect joe biden will be delivering comments on the Electoral College tomorrow night after the Electoral College confirms his 2020 win after the nations courts have all but rejected President Trumps ongoing attempts to overturn the election. This weekend the Georgia Supreme Court rejected trumps lastminute request to toss that States Election results. And friday the u. S. Supreme court, the highest court in the land, also rejected an attempt by the Texas Attorney general to do the same in four battleground states. Despite dozens of legal setbacks and absolutely no evidence of widespread voter fraud, the president is vowing to fight on. You know, its not over. We keep going and we continue to go forward. We have numerous local cases where in some of the states they got rigged and robbed from us. Cnns Boris Sanchez is at the white house. Boris, tomorrow the Electoral College is going to be will formally elect joe biden as president. Even now President Trump not seeming to understand or accept that this is all over. Yeah, thats right, alex. The president there clearly marinating in the delusion this is not over. He continues to contend that there is some path for him to be inaugurated on january 20th, even though his own legal experts have privately said that is clearly not likely go to happen. Its important to point out the president s legal team has utterly failed to provide any evidence of widespread election fraud. Further, a slew of judges have tossed out these cases repeatedly and these judges span the gamut from local court to the Supreme Court, appointed by democrats and republicans. Some of them appointed by the president himself summarily rejecting the claims made by the president s legal team. Not as he said this morning on fox news on technical tis on staon the standing, the merits presented in these cases. The president when asked about his legal teams failings said he believes they have actually proven there is election fraud. Listen to this quote, he says, we have proven it but no judge has courage, including the Supreme Court. Im disappointed in them. Alex, the president clearly disappointed in anyone thats not willing to go along with his fantasy that the 2020 election was rigged. And many of the people who are going along with his fantasy, some of them swarmed into d. C. This weekend and we saw violent protests. Thats certainly a reflection of the president refusing to concede this race. Boris sanchez at the white house, thank you very much. A florida newspaper is apologizing for endorsing a republican candidate who is part of that texas lawsuit that aimed at overturning the election. The Orlando Sentinel has retracted its endorsement of congressman michael walz. He was more than one of 100 congress appear republicans who signed up to support that lawsuit. The papers apology, which was stunning, was in an editorial that said in part, quote, we had no idea, had no way of knowing at the time that walz was not committed to democracy. Our bad. For more on this, lets bring in cnns oliver darcy, media reporter. How unprecedented is this endorsement retraction and what has congressmans reaction been . I have never seen anything quite like this. You read a portion of of the editorial on air a few moments ago. This was a blistering editorial from the Orlando Sentinel apologizing to its readers saying, sorry, we had no idea this gop congressman was not committed to democracy. Something ive never seen before and its created a lot of dialogue around this issue of republican congressmen who have supported the president , backed the president who is trying to overturn the election. Now, the congressman is responding, ill read his response for you right now. It says, in part, i signed onto the amicus brief supporting the Texas Attorney general on the Supreme Court. A very substantive article i, constitutional issues to how regarding how unelected officials, judges overrule legislatures in election law and goes on to attack the media. The media canceling citizens who disagree with them is the real danger here. We should point out, of course, this isnt some leftist Editorial Board or, you know, socialist Editorial Board that endorsed him. In fact, they endorsed him. They show they are willing to work with republicans. They want to hear them out. They are open to those sort of ideas. Thats actually what they said in the initial editorial they liked about this congressman, he would work across the aisle but they were mistaken, ultimately. So many of these republican congressmen, scores of them knew this would be a deadend case in the Supreme Court and they signed on anyway. Oliver darcy in new york, thank you very much.

Families of victims and survivors who are joining forces to fight gun violence and support each other. Heres a preview. Compounding the familys grief, terrells case remains unsolved and the justice of his death still haunts pam. The police spent probably the first week investigating terrells background to see what type of kid he was. Was he gangrelated. They finally came back and said we cant find anything. We cant find anything. They should have been pulling film and finding out who shot terrell but they spent the time looking at his character. My son wasnt in a gang. He wasnt selling drugs. He was in college. He was very active. And then the next thing you know, hes dead. And lisa ling joins me now. Lisa, weve had conversations, so many conversations about Mass Shootings, about gun violence. It is hard to know where to begin these conversations. Maybe you could start by telling us in this case about the people who you met, the members of this club that, as you put it, no one wants to join. Look, the reality is that gun violence has just become so pervasive in this country, whether it is in inner cities or by way of Mass Shootings. And the numbers of survivors and family members of gun violence is growing as well. Over the years, many of these survivors and family members have started to find each other and reach out to each other and offer support. We profiled in addition to the couple you just saw the clip of, we also profile a couple who lost their daughter in the aurora, colorado, mass shooting in 2012 and they quit their jobs, sold their house and they travel to the locations of Mass Shootings to offer support to the people who have gone through them. When you think about the kind of support we need obviously the trauma involved, but whenever theres a mass shooting, theres a contingent of people who accuse thesis people who are going through such, such tragedy and trauma of being crisis actors, the whole gun debate starts to rage again and there are a whole slew of issues that arise when gun violence happens. That support that you mentioned, how critical is it for these survivors to have one another to lean on, to get through these periods of their lives that really are unthinkable . . Well, i think support for any kind of trauma is important. It is imperative youre able to find those people who have had similar kinds of challenges to their own lives. In in chicago there are so many people who come together who not only provide support for one another who have encountered loss, but in so many cases, so many of these killings go unsolved. They come together to even help to seek justice for people who have lost members to gun violence. As we all know from this summer, they are busier than ever. To go through one of these experiences once is too many, but you met a young man who lived through the las vegas sniper shooting and the Thousand Oaks bar shooting in california. What did he tell you . This young man is remarkable. I met him when he was 23 years old. After he lived through lauf, he was shaken, he was so traumat e traumatiz traumatized, really went to that dark place. And not long after the Thousand Oaks shooting happened in his hometown and somehow after that, given the fact that he knew personally so many of the people who were killed in that shooting, he sort of shifted and he started to reach out to other victims and survivors and has provided that support. And theres a moment in the show i attended an event with him. I became incredibly emotional. It was the anniversary of the Thousand Oaks shooting. At that time, this 23yearold young man put his arm around me to comfort me. Thats the kind of young man he is. But it made me upset that someone so young has found it his duty to support people who have gone through these kind of tragedies. Lisa ling, such an important subject.
