Spread this lie. I dont know if its political or if hes scynically lying or there is some sort of issue, it doesnt matter if he doesnt want to acknowledge it. On january 20, president elect joe biden will become President Joe Biden elected by 80 million americans. Also president elect biden vowed 100 million vaccinations in his first 100 days. Today there is a major milestone in the fight against coronavirus. The very first doses of pfizers Coronavirus Vaccine are now being administered to citizens of the united kingdom. We do anticipate that americans will soon join them. Pfizers vaccine is expected to be approved for use in the u. S. In just two days. Cnns Kaitlan Collins joins me live. Kaitlan, again, an opportunity for the president to herald this great achievement at the vaccine summit. Goes off the rails with these deranged lies. Reporter jake, ive never seen the president take questions in this big room before. They talked about all the effort they put into it, but he decided to open questions to reporters. Theyre going to take over the distribution of this vaccine. Yet the president was falsely insisting he won this election, and jake, he was saying publicly that weve been reported he was saying privately, which is putting pressure on people to help him try to overturn the Election Results even though he has suffered a string of court losses and every recount has only affirmed bidens win. Listen to him. We were rewarded with a victory, now lets see whether or not somebody has the courage, whether its a legislator or le legislatures or members of the Supreme Court or justices of the Supreme Court, lets see if they have the courage to do what everyone in this country knows is right. Reporter remember, the president has been saying to reporters that privately hes been calling these officials and legislators in certain states and trying to pressure them to help him push for these challenges that of course hes had no wins in court, so hes trying to turn to the electors and the legislators to help him do the bidding here. Its incredible, hes trying to undermine the democratic results of the election and Republican Leaders around the country and here in washington, d. C. Are completely silent about this. Were also learning, kaitlan, that the Trump Administration turned down an offer from pfizer this summer to purchase hundreds of millions of more doses of the covid19 vaccine. The New York Times reports that its up to 500 million extra doses that the u. S. Does not have. What is the white house saying in response to this . The press secretary denied it, but the board commissioner who is on the board of pfizer says this is true they went to them multiple times with this offer. They turned it down. They now offered it to other countries which raises questions of when the u. S. Can get more doses beyond the 100 million theyve already secured, and just what that timeline is going to look like. But monty slaoui defended it saying, they came to us before these Clinical Trials which just happened in the last month or so, so we wouldnt have reasonably bought more doses of it at the time. What this is raising questions about and what people should look for Going Forward is whether or not theyll try to stop other countries from getting access to this vaccine. You saw the president hint at that there in the auditorium earlier, talking about using the document, if they dont like how the companies are distributing these vaccines, to intervene, but that remains to be seen, jake. And moderna and others got money from the federal government to create this vaccine. I dont think pfizer did. They did get money for manufacturing and distribution of the vaccine, but not the actual discovery of the vaccine, which could be significant here in terms of this. Kaitlan collins, thanks so much. As president elect joe biden just introduced the key members of his health care team, he is already dealing with the pandemic. He will meet with the team on thursday about vaccine rollout plans. Jeff zeleny is live for us in wilmington, delaware. The president elect just laid out three steps he hopes to take in the first 100 days. Tell us what they are. Reporter he did. He called on americans to be patriotic and wear masks for 100 days, essentially asking them to do what the federal government cannot do by law. But he said he would sign an executive order on his first day to require masks to be worn in all federal buildings. He also said he would hope to achieve 100 million vaccinations in those first 100 days, but he also stipulated that depends on what happens now in the next 30 days in the Trump Administration. He also said the priority was opening schools. Those were the three main provisions of his first 100 days, masking, vaccines and opening schools. He also spoke very bluntly. He said his team of advisers would be honest with the american people, they would not sugarcoat who lies ahead, so he introduced his new health and Human Services secretary, and, of course, a familiar face from the Trump Administration, dr. Anthony fauci, who was appearing here via video. He said, look, the road is going to be tough in the next several weeks ahead, but america can get through this. So theyll object the sidelines for the next six weeks or so, but then they will take over this response. Jeff zeleny in wilmington, delaware, thank you so much.

In many ways it feels like a regular vaccination, but the National Health service has described this as a turning point in the global pandemic. We cant tell you where we are. People are outside hoping to get a vaccine. Its strictly invitation only. Everyone who gets a shot is issued a card, a simple remin r reminder, the government says, to come back for a second dose in three weeks time. Behind the scenes, pharmacists had to be brought in to help prepare the injections. The vaccines arrive in an already prepared syringe. Five doses have to be taken out of the individual vials. Reporter so a big learning curve for you. Lessons here informing the rest of the western world as others perform mass vaccinations, too. The world is watching so theyll be learning from your example. Yes, well, i hope so. Reporter what is the message . The message is get everyone vaccinated. Obviously its a choice, but were here to look after everyone and for everyone to look after each other, so please get vaccinated. Reporter this moment in history not lost on the nurses who had the toughest year of their careers. Reporter the british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson setting in to temper the excitement to some extent, jake, saying we have a long way to go in this vaccination program.

As the pandemic worsens, more cities are weighing more restrictions to stop the spread as cnns erica hill now reports. Reporter the first Coronavirus Vaccines in the uk.

Reporter astrazenecas data published today in the lancet shows efficacy at 75 . Well need more vaccines in order to populate the United States. Reporter as we wait, masks, distance and patience. Now, jake, one other thing to consider when it comes to these vaccinations is who will administer them . Just behind me at new yorks mt. Sinai hospital, theyre really hitting all the points. Their looking at pharmacists and interns and residents as well. They said they have about 15,000 highrisk employees, keeping those numbers in perspective. A big task ahead. Thank you so much, erica hill, i appreciate it. William haseltine joins us to discuss. The next round of injections are tied up and wont be available until next summer. Are you worried well face a vaccine shortage in the United States . I think its likely that we will. But, fortunately, there are many other countries developing vaccines, so they are ramping up rapidly, too. And i think those vaccines will be the the information will be available, and whether we choose to import some of those vaccines, say, from china will be a really big geopolitical question, but it might be to our advantage to at least consider that, if there is, as anticipated, a major shortage. Its been reported by the New York Times and Washington Post and confirmed by operation warp speed that the Trump Administration passed on the opportunity to secure up to 500 million more Pfizer Vaccine doses over the summer. One official told cnn the decision was a mistake. Obviously we didnt know at the time how effective the vaccine was, but do you think the administrations decision was understandable . Do you think it was malpractice . Whats your take . I think its unfortunate, but i think hindsight is better than you know, hindsight is easier to make than making judgments at the time, and there were a number of vaccines making their way through and it was hard to tell which one. I wouldnt criticize them overly for that decision, but i would try to broaden the net to bring whatever vaccines seem to be safe and effective to this country, whether we make them here or import them. A lot of our vaccines we can import and do import. President elect biden just pledged 100 million doses of the vaccine in his first 100 days in office. What worries you most about Vaccine Distribution . Is it whether or not we have the manpower to give the vaccines, whether or not too many members of the public are going to refuse to take it, whether or not there is a shortage of it . What weighs on you the most . What waieighs on me the mosts the same thing that troubled us during the testing, that we dont have a uniform Central Government policy for vaccination. Yes, we will get the vaccine to jurisdictions which will be states or counties or towns or even townships. But then its up to those individual jurisdictions to decide who gets the vaccine and who will administer the vaccine. So there is a lot of serious questions, and we know theres going to be big differences between the different jurisdictions. What happens in one town might be different from the other town, and some people in one town might be able to get the vaccine, and the same kind of people wont be able to get it in another town, and its likely to lead to some serious disagreements and uncertainties and upsetness. That all will passov over time. We see the light at the end of the tunnel, but its a very long tunnel and very dark, as you described. Should americans who are not Health Care Workers or considered high risk not get their hopes up for a vaccine any time soon . I think that is probably most likely. I think the people who are in the high list to get the vaccine should be getting the vaccine. I would like to add a word of warning. There are going to be fakes. There will be fake vaccines. If you try to jump the line, the chance youre going to get a fake vaccine is pretty high. That could not only be useless, it could be dangerous. All right, dr. Haseltine, always good to have you on.

Retire better minutes ago, whether it is rooted in cynical lies or some sort of psychological disorder, o outgoing President Trump continued to spew the nonsense conspiracy theories that he may still be in office when vaccines are distributed after january 20th when President Biden will be inaugurated. Take a listen. Why not include members of the Biden Transition Team as part of this summit that youre hosting today . Well have to see who the next administration is, because we won in the swing states, and there was terrible things that went on, so were going to have to see who the next administration is. You didnt win in the swing states. Were not going to have to wait to see who the next administration is because its going to be the bidenharris administration, and the only terrible things going on are President Trump and his supporters trying to subvert the will of the people. Lets discuss. Jackie, what on earth is he doing . Hes living in his own reality. And by, i guess, letting someone from the biden transition in the room while this photo op summit is going on is a concession that he did not, in fact, win the election. Now, we know that the biden tradition is talking to current officials. Dr. Fauci has joined the administration as an adviser, but any publicfacing thing trump is refusing to do. This isnt without consequences, as you alluded to, jake. Many officials in these states are being harassed. Armed reporters like the Commission Secretary of state. Someone came home and scared her child. The president even called on the Supreme Court to help him turn the Election Results. I dont even know how to respond at this point. There is no case that will overturn the Election Results. We know he lost. He is going down in history as the sorest loser in american political history. I dont even know why his family isnt stepping in here. No one is stepping in. Republicans arent stepping in, his family isnt stepping in. When i have spoken to republicans, a vast majority of them do not acknowledge that biden won. I just asked an incoming republican today, a freshman, whether or not they would acknowledge that biden won the election, and she wouldnt do that. I mean, trump, all of the lawsuits so far put forward by Trumps Campaign and his allies, almost nearly all of them have failed, and just this week out of georgia and out of michigan, judges rejected lawsuits saying that they had no merit, and that there was no evidence for any reason to overturn the results of those elections, and yet the president continues to spout those conspiracy theories and continues to spout that he somehow won the election, and the vast majority of republicans are supporting him in that endeavor. Its so crazy. Its reverend jim jones kind of stuff. In the meantime, president elect biden is trying to get a handle on the pandemic as he prepares to take office. Take a listen. My first 100 days wont end the covid19 virus. I cant promise that. But but we did not get into this mess quickly. Were not going to get out of it quickly. Its going to take some time. But im absolutely convinced that in 100 days we can change the course of the disease and change life in america for the better. So, jackie, the president elect is asking for mask wearing asking, its not a mandate asking for 100 days of mask wearing, 100 million vaccine doses, and trying to get most kids back to school in his first 100 days. What did you make of that . Hes setting these very clear benchmarks, so while hes saying its going to be hard, he is putting an end, 100 days. Do this for 10 da 0100 days, we where were at. Another thing that struck me about his health team was his faith in restoring trust and restoring trust in these institutions that went through chaos during the Trump Administration, everyone from the cdc to the hhs. Thats one thing you heard one person after another say during that press conference. And laura, sources say president elect biden has chosen jay austin to be his secretary of defense. It would be the first black man in the role. He would also need a special waiver because hes been an officer in the military in the last seven years. That may be a problem. That could be a problem. The democrats i spoke to today, senator shotz of hawaii, said he expects that the number of democrats that supported general mattis at the beginning of the Trump Administration, he supported doing away with that waiver because he also needed one in order to serve at dod. He thinks all those democrats would actively support austin, but there are a number of others in the house who didnt vote for that waiver format advertise who mig for mattis who might not be willing to vote for it again for general austin. They dont like this idea of having to pass waivers multiple times in the span of four years for generals who havent retired who have retired within that window of seven years. So a lot of democrats are kind of holding their fire right now. It used to be in intel, a congresswoman in the house, is saying she also doesnt like the idea of voting for labaustin.

In our meoney lead today, w know the Sticking Points getting in the way of a final agreement on a stimulus package in the u. S. Senate. The senate said they want liability shields to Keep Companies from getting sued by workers over any covidrelated issues. Democrats want more funding for state and local governments as well as checks for individual americans. But now Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell says it might be time to set those issues aside to get something passed. Joining me now is someone who has sat at the table, senator durbin, minority whip. Weve heard from lawmakers that an agreement is around the corner. Nothing yet. When do you think youll have a stimulus package . Jake, it really depends on an agreement on the issue of liability. Senator mcconnell made it clear six months ago he had a red line here. He wouldnt consider any bill that didnt include immunity from liability for major corporations and businesses. So weve been watching carefully to see the frequency of lawsuits that have been filed using covid19 as a basis. Personal injury lawsuits, medical malpractice suits. And during the course of the year 2020, with 16 million people, at least 16 million affected by covid19, on average weve seen three lawsuits per state. It really isnt a tsunami of lawsuits. Its a hard case to prove. When were you exposed to the virus . Who was responsible for it . So were trying to do something that is reasonable that protects the public and gives incentives to conscientious businesses to do the right thing, but we dont want to go as far as Mitch Mcconnell suggested. Tell me im wrong, but the stiif the Sticking Point is the money the way democrats want, and the liability issues that republicans want, why not put these two aside . Is that possible . If we dont give states, counties and cities some relief for loss of revenue and the actual expenses of covid19, they are faced with some grim choices, laying offer Health Care Workers, Law Enforcement officials, people in the educational field. All of these things would be terrible to the economy in general, and unfair to these people who are struggling to get by. So when democratic leader Chuck Schumer says mcconnell is trying to sabotage the deal by making this proposal to remove these two points of contention, you agree with him . Yes, i do. Weve been at the table for weeks hour after hour after hour negotiating this. And the democrats are at the table all committed to state and local government assistance. We have agreed to a dramatic cutback in the amount of money that is necessary just so the emergency relief for these units of government will be there. It isnt just a casual item on the agenda, its been a very important item. Senator Bernie Sanders made democrats turn down a deal from the white house for 1 trillion because nancy pelosi wanted 1. 2 trillion. Now you have a deal of 908 billion. We dont even know if well see that passed. Looking back, was it a mistake for pelosi and schumer to turn down 1. 8 trillion . An election was coming, and they were both trying to find common ground. They didnt reach that point. But to return to those preelection days and political sentiments is very difficult. We are looking at the reality now of a new president coming on board in just a few weeks. With President Trump leaving, were trying to find something we can agree to on a bipartisan basis, through an emergency basis through the First Quarter of the year, coming up before us. Senator Bernie Sanders told me yesterday that hes talked to conservative Republican Josh Hawley about adding the provision of individual checks for americans who are struggling. Is there any sign that that could be something that a bipartisan majority should have. Keep in mind the cost of that 1200 or 500 is, generally speak sfg, 300 billion. The amount that trump has limited us to is 900 billion. So if you cant take away money f from things, ill agree to it. But the republicans say its nothing else. When the president says, im trying to turn over the democratic results of the election, how do you, even if you passed some kind of senate, that donald trump will then walk into it and just blow it all up. He could, and hes unpredictable. Who knows whether tat the tweet day will be and whether it will go to the next day or whatever. But the president personally would like to send out those 12 billion checks. If he can get pelosi to increase it to 900 billion, he just might be fine. If congress does not return section sued over the con how concerned are you over this . Im concerned. Section 230 on the content and Digital Media is a relevant issue, an important issue, and one i feel strongly about. But i would not stop funding the u. S. Mill temporary over that issue. Senator dick durbin, thank you. Good luck with this compromise. I dont have to tell you americans out there are getting desperate facing hunger and eviction, so theyre counting on legislators getting back together.

See what scholarship you qualify for at phoenix. Edu. In our healthy today, covid is real. Our experts think there might be a better way to stop the spread of the virus without going back to strict stayathome orders such as the one california just put back into place. This is rooted in fighting the aids epidemic. Dr. Ghandi at the center of aids research sheis here with me. The argument during the aids epidemic of just say no, abstain didnt work, but there were other things that did work. How do you look at that virus to this . Thats a great question. This is the other great viral pandemic of our day is hiv. Telling people to completely abstain from interaction or from sexual relations didnt work, b abstinence never worked, and the other was harm reduction. When applied to infectious disease, it advises individuals how to mitigate risk while still acknowledge, that their circumstances may mean they have to take some risks. Circumstances in the middle of a covid pandemic is ultimate blunt instruments of lockdown, never see anyone . It may not be working in our pandemic fatigue. You also argue that part of the problem is messaging. Explain what you mean by that i dont know. I lost volume. Doctor, do you hear me . I can hear you. Yes, i can hear you. Sorry about that. Part of the problem you say is messaging. Explain what you mean by that. Yeah. So what i mean by messaging is that many experts are talking about this and hiv doctors are talking about this. Instead of saying wear a mask, stupid or youre selfish not to wear a mask or youre an idiot. That is not the way to message. The message is to acknowledge that people are lonely, they are depressed, they want to see each other, its christmas. To message instead, how do we keep safe and how do we use masks and distancing and ventilation and hand washing to mitigate our risk, treating people like adults but acknowledging that they may be gathering or taking some risks. Tell us about this new stayathome order in california. Is it too strict . Is it doomed to fail . It is very, very strict. And i think the three things that concern me about it are outside playgrounds have been closed. The problem with that is we have Better Weather in california. There isnt surface transmission and equity issue. A lot of people dont have big backyards and swings in their backyard and this kind of importance of children being out and exercising, i think that should not have happened. The second was dont mix with anyone outside of your household even if youre outside mask, distancing, taking a walk. The public knows a lot more about this pandemic and the virus, you and others have been educating people about it. W we know outdoors and distancing and masks are safe so allow a little bit of household mixture. The third is Outdoor Dining. If we are going to close Outdoor Dining we have to support our businesses for this month. Otherwise they are going to backlash. Its interesting that you bring that up. I wanted to ask you about the viral video making the rounds. A Los Angeles County restaurant named angelo is extremely frustrated about the inconsistencies on her restaurant but a television station was able to set up table and tents and chairs next door. They have not given us money and we cannot survive. My staff cannot survive look at this tell me that this is dangerous but right next to me is a slap in my face where that is safe. This is safe . 50 feet away . I have to be honest, i mean, that is a compelling argument. Its a very compelling argument and we know what works. Ventilation, masks, distancing, and hand hygiene, period. If you have those conditions at play in your restaurant or your business, then we have not seen risks in those four conditions being applied.
