Days later. Thats the second dose, if you will. Promises 50 million doses by the end of the year and perhaps as many as 100 million more in the first few months of next year to get this ball rolling and fast. Operation warp speed has lived true to its name and then some. The read from Kristin Fisher in maryland with the latest. Kristin . Hey, neil. What a bitter sweet day. You had the country hitting this unimaginable milestone of 300,000 coronavirus deaths on the same day that this medical miracle is rolled out in record time. This Pfizer Vaccine was granted emergency use authorization with here at the fdas Head Quarters friday. The first frozen viles with shipped out on sunday. Now today were seeing these vaccinations ceremonies popping up all over the country. About an hour ago at George Washington University Hospital in d. C. , five nurses and doctors were vaccinated. Alex azar and the surgeon general, dr. Jerome adams were there. Both of them marvelled and marked the history of this moment calling the vaccines Rapid Development truly revolutionary. But they were also quick to stress that this process is only at the very beginning. Having a vaccine is only the first step. We must now move from vaccines to vaccinations. It would be a great tragedy if disparities worsened because the people that could most benefit from this vaccine wont take it. Convincing people that it is safe to take this vaccine is part of the reason why Sarah Lindsey agreed to get vaccinated on live tv. One of the first if not the first person in the United States to get vaccinated outside of a clinical trial. Of course, shes a Critical Care nurse at Long Island Jewish Medical Center who has been fighting on the front lines of this pandemic for months. I hope this is the beginning of the end of a painful time in our history. Now, in addition to the Pfizer Vaccine, you also have modernas vaccine in the pipeline. The fda is going to be debating whether or not to green light it in just a few days on thursday, neil. Neil all right. Thanks, kristin. So among the lucky few and deserving few to get the vaccine, my next guest, dr. Adam burbman from jewish medical Medical Center cochair received this along with other Key Healthcare workers who have done so much to look after us. Doctor, how are you feel something. I feel great. I feel just as good as i did before. But i feel more hopeful now. Neil you know, youre one of the few that have had a chance to take this vaccine. Any early effects . I know this is dose one. The next dose is another three weeks. What can you tell us . Honestly, i feel great. I didnt even feel the vaccine when i received it. I have no pain in my arm. And i feel good and really excited to be one of the first to get it. I recommend it. You deserve all of your hard work. Doctor, now the next question comes, how do they allocate this . I know among Key Healthcare workers and older more vulnerable americans. How is that protocol going to roll out . I mean, i can only really speak for the Health System that i work for. I do think that its similar to others. People are being given the vaccine based on their Job Description and how many direct patient care they have and taking into account of course their age as well. We want people who are at highest risk but getting covid19 to be able to get the vaccine first. Bill doctor, i know theyre waiting on the next vaccine likely approval. That would be moderna at the end of the week. Now you have a couple of vaccines. Bill gates is on record saying through the Gates Foundation helping to expedite this process and get available vaccines around the world. Hes talking about upwards of half a dozen by early next year. Thats a lot of vaccines to choose from. From your patients, how do you make that call. To be honest, i think that you have to trust the process of the fda and trust the science. Just like the fact that this vaccine has never existed exactly as you have it now. The science that its based on has existed for some time. So i think that you have to trust the process. Make sure that you can give our patients whichever vaccine is green lighted and available as soon as possible. Neil its weird, doctor, the hope with this vaccine and more to come and then the u. S. Crossing 300,000 covid related deaths thus far and will these lock downs going on in states as you know, sir, restaurants, Indoor Dining stopping in new york city as effective day and no dining in pennsylvania, no indoor or Outdoor Dining in cities like baltimore. Seems to be more crackdowns and lockdowns even when other things are looking up. I mean, this will definitely pass. Americans have to continue to do their part though for it to pass. It should be very clear, i think, that despite getting the vaccine, people are going to need to continue to socially distance, mask, hand wash. All of these things will work but its going to take time and a multipronged approach. So i dont want people to get too complacent. This is we can see the light at the end of the tunnel but its a long tunnel. People need to continue to do what theyve been doing. Neil all right, doctor. Thanks very much for all of your hard work on behalf of patients. Weve seen a lot of sleepness nights for many months. Thanks, dr. Adam. You know, when it gets to a point of average americans getting their hands on this, could be as simple as, you know, calling up your local walgreens and making an appointment. Arena shaw is here from walgreens operations and services. Great to have you. How would this work . How will it work Going Forward at walgreens . How people go about getting the vaccine. Neil, thanks so much for having me. Its an incredibly important question just because at the very beginning as the doctor mentioned, there is limited vaccine that is available. At the very beginning, its going to be important that all of us follow the cdc and apip guidelines in which those that need it the most, those that are highest risk of getting the virus, that too will be administered, the vaccine first. So that means our healthcare professionals, First Responders and longterm care facilities our residents and staff at those facilitie facilities. At walgreens, were working with the state and the cdc and the federal government to get the vaccines in the first phase. As vaccine inventory continues to build up, then well start seeing more access to other providers and hopefully in the near future when theres enough vaccine that is available, well be able to distribute that and administer that through our stores to eligible individuals. Neil it makes perfect sense, come to think of it. Vaccines you can get there. So you have experience in this. How will you handle the demand as the weeks and months go by and people are hot to trot to get this thing . Is it simply that you can schedule an appointment much as you would getting a flu vaccine . Youre spot on. So we have over 10 years of experience of administering vaccine. Actuality, we were a part of h1n1 pandemic when that hit ten years ago. Since then, weve continued to build on our infrastructure so all of our pharmacists, our technicians are able to support vaccinations when theres enough vaccine available. So to your point, what well be able to do is at that time when vaccine is available, our patients, our customers will go online, be able to schedule an appointment and be able to come into our pharmacy to get their vaccine administered to them. That will happen over time. Once there is more vaccine available and well be able to open it up to the mass public. Neil your experience enduring my idiotic question, so number 17000 for you. If you want a flu vaccine and you want this vaccine, can you should you get both . Hugh would you separate them . Its these are the types of questions that our pharmacists are experts on. This is what they do every day. We just learned yesterday acip came out with their recommendations on who is eligible. All of those different nuances, that do you take a vaccine at the same time, do you sprayed it out. Just yesterday we learned that its important that you actually separate that out. You dont administer it at the same time. Well learn more information as time goes on. As apip and cdc and the manufacturers share this information, our pharmacists are being given that information at the forefront. When a patient comes, in you dont have to worry about it. We have it covered for you. Well make sure that youre eligible, screened appropriately and get the right medication at the right time. Bill yeah. I remember when i had a flu vaccine. I was near the candy section of the store. I was reaching for reeses Peanut Butter cups. Probably not advisable. How has the reaction of patients been . How have they youre dealing with a few at a time and its going to build up. How have they been about it . So were working closely with the states on being able to support Healthcare Providers on the vaccination. Next week is when we kickoff the longterm care facilities efforts. Up until now, its been more curiosity. A lot of our patients are asking about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. What that means for them and when will they be eligible to receive the vaccine. So much of what were doing is much more on the education side. Its critical when the vaccine does become available, we want to make sure everyone knows that theyre eligible for that and they can receive their vaccine. Neil good for you. Doing a lot of hard work. Its very difficult to do at this stage. Youre doing it. Thanks so much. Best of luck in this and good health yourself. Thank you so much for having me. Neil all right. Meantime, you have to get to the walgreens. You have to get it to the cvs and out to the state and keep this thing super cold. Thats where some of the big Airlines Come in. So the airports come in. The ups and the federal expresses come in. That side of the story crucial to this after this. Smooth driving pays off. With allstate, the safer you drive the more you save. You never been in better hands. Allstate. Click or call for a quote today. And im still going for my best. Even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. So if theres a better treatment than warfarin, im on top of that. Eliquis. Eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. Plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Whats next . Getting out there. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Ask your doctor about eliquis. And if your ability to afford your medication has changed, we want to help. Neil all right. Well, you have to get this vaccine out under very difficult circumstances. This is where that socalled normandy invasion analysis have come from. The logistics to getting the major air carriers, fed ex, ups. It starts at the Nations International air parts. Laura ingle is at j. F. K. Can more on getting this vaccine out as smoothly as possible. Laura . Hey, neil. From the factory workers to transport teams and calibrating the ultra cold freezers, its been rehearsed and the plan went into action today. Weve been watching throughout the afternoon. The highly anticipated rollout started yesterday as dry ice cooled packages of the vaccine which must be kept at that subarctic temperature were loaded to boxes, on to planes and semis to be disbursed across america. Ups and fed ex rushing the cargo to the first 145 of 636 vaccine staging areas across the state. A second and third wave of vaccine shipments are due to go out tomorrow and wednesday to the remaining sites. Were talking about an estimated three million doses over the weekend in what is concerned an immunization project unprecedented in its scope. Its not been lost on those handling the precious cargo. The gravity of what the vaccine will mean to so many people i think is what makes it so powerful. So to be part of this moment, knowing that this vaccine is going to bring hope and change. New york considered the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak expected to receive 170,000 doses of the Pfizer Vaccine this week with two front line healthcare workers here on long island receiving the first shots in the arm this morning. As pfizers vaccine rolls out, we know that modernas vaccine will be reviewed this week for approval. So were going to be seeing more of this as we roll on through the last weeks of december, neil. Neil all right. Great job, laura. Thanks very much. Modernas vaccine also needs to be cooled. I dont know as cool as pfizers but well see. Right now with us from ups sales and chief solutions office. Thanks for taking the time. How are things on your end getting all of this stuff to us . Thanks, neil. Theyre looking great. We already delivered 100 ontime Performance Today with wave one and geared up and ready for the rest of the wave. Neil now, i dont know how you juggle the logistics of your industry. Thats under normal every day events. This is getting a vital lifesaving vaccine out that has to be kept super cold and you have to keep doing it again and again and again with the next wave of doses in 21 days. So how do you prepare for that . So it did take quite a bit of preparation. Id say with ups healthcare, weve been in the business over a decade. Think about just last year, we have already carried over a million clinical trials. And so working with operation warp speed mid year and all of the Great Companies that have joined together in really focused on the operation. I will say we overprepared. We actually went in to this knowing that we needed to make sure there was enough supply as more and more might be manufactured and made available. So all the way from the movements, different origins and operating plans, the airplanes involved, the great ups team that supports every delivery, we are delivering on time and thrilled to do it. Neil by the way, theres no things as i tell my teenage sons of being over preparprepared. Youre competing with santa. He wants your operations to help out. You have all of this vaccine thing, another big one to come, you know, presumably the end of the week, next week when moderna gets out and helping santa out and getting presents out. You guys will be swamped. Yeah, actually is, you know since covid online purchasing moved up three years within three months. So weve been really pushing the numbers since mid year. All of our employees just doing an amazing job. To your point, Holiday Shopping on top of that and the vaccines, it comes down to the preparation and planning and the daytoday secret cause of upsers. Neil all of the drivers i encounter, always so good natured when theyre swamped and everything. Youve been able to meet all of this demand, but then you encounter weather, right . The concern of the snowstorm and the east and the northeast later in the week. How do you adjust for that . Especially when you get this vaccine stuff out . Yeah, ill zoom in on the vaccines first. Ill tell you, this time of year, we could have different nature challenges, if you will. And so we have different operating plans where if an area, for instance, an airport is closed down, we would fly in to the nearest airport that is open and finish the run of the road. All of it wrapped in this technology that weve been developing. Ups gives us the pin point location of each of these packages. So we have alternate plans already built out just in case. We would appreciate Mother Nature cooperating, of course. Neil santa never uses that as an excuses. Kate, thanks for your hard work. Getting a lot of work for a lot of people. Thanks, kate from ups. Another possible, possible Christmas Present coming your way. Covid relief. I know, i know. You heard that before. What if i told you the latest possibility involves taking that big old relief package and cutting it in two. Ill explain. Research shows that people remember commercials with exciting stunts.

Microphone and senators will speak. Theyre speaking. A Bipartisan Group of them have an idea to get covid relief to you by providing it not in one old big bill but maybe two bills. Its a little simply on my part. Youll never hear that kind of simplistic thinking from chad pergram. Hes here to explain whats going on in far more professional terms. Chad, what are they doing here . This is a last ditch effort to get a deal of this Bipartisan Coalition of the gang of eight. Theres intense pressure to get relief before the holidays. A lot of these extra Unemployment Benefits expire on the day after christmas. Here is democratic West Virginia senator joe manchin. Bipartisanship and compromise is alive and well in washington. Contrary to what youve been hearing, weve proven that. Taking something that had not been on the table, stacks talked. The plan is split in two. 908 billion is the total. One part of the bill provides 160 billion for state and local governments. Theres also a shield blocking coronavirus lawsuits. The other measure, refills, the Paycheck Protection Program and provides money to distribute the vaccine. But theres no deal yet. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell knows the race is on. 100 senators will be here shaking our heads, slinging blame and offering excuses why we have not been able to make a law or we will break for the holidays, having setting another huge dose of relief out the door.

If we do not change the trajectory, we could very well be headed to shutdown. Shutdown is something to worry about. Neil yeah, as if our next guest needs a reminder of that. The governor was talking act a shut down that goes way beyond Indoor Dining. The new york city metropolitan area, which took effect today. It will extend to a lot of upstate regions about niagara falls, utica, places like that that heretofore have not seen a rise in cases but have been yellow zones of worry. All of that is a moot point of this restaurant in new york city. Not to keen on the lockdown continues right now. We dont know how long, right . What have you been told . Well, weve never been told anything with any consistency that has ever held up. Since the outset of this crisis, you know, in the beginning, we understand march when the goal posts were moving, we understand we understood. But recently were not giving any information and on top of that, when that goal post changes, its not even based on common sense or the evidence. For the last ten months, weve been the whipping boy of this crisis saying that its indoor dines, Indoor Dining. Every part of the media, Indoor Dining. When the state gives us statistics, were actually no different than any other industry. At 1. 4 . Neil not only you know different, your low on the totem pull of covid19 spreads. Households are at the top and youre way down on the list but youre the first ones targeted. Yeah, were tired and were angry of being that whipping boy. Were tired of hearing the platitudes about 500,000 jobs matter in this state for our industry. Were tired of people forgetting its not just us but its industry, period. Were the producers on the food chain like no other business. Every trucker, beer sales rep, media rep, up, up the food chain taking us out. Its bad enough for us, but its excusable for the rest of the industries. Neil you know, you can do Outdoor Dining, which seems perfect when you get a blizzard this week. You can also do delivery. But i would imagine with Mediterranean Food for which you know and love, that is a tough thing that is delivering and keeping fresh. Ill be happy to walk the governor or any politicians telling us to survive on takeout as a economic reality is farcical. At some point, the constitution matters. Its a matter of equal protection of laws, the fifth amendment. At some point like we saw with the president , we have to remember that the constitution matters. Neil so what do you do . For example, if this drags on a few weeks, the only thing that you can count on or hope for is some relief out of washington. They have a relief measure that will provide a couple hundred billion for Small Business restaurant relief. Would you be part of that . Well, its having experience in the pvp in the first round, t what the government should do if they care about our industry is not only pass this 908 billion bill but id say in new york, how about new york state set aside the 1 trillion budget to help restaurants . And not even help, just support. Were asking for the billion the hangover, all the town needs a fighting chance. Were asking for a fighting chance when the state has taken so much away from us. Neil you need you know, no industry that i know of has suffered and had a direct hit like the Restaurant Industry. Im hoping that between the vaccine and between hopefully things settling down, things will turn around. Youre waiting and waiting and waiting. I can imagine its very frustrating. Hang in there, james. Thats all we can say. Thanks, neil. Appreciate you hearing us out. Neil i appreciate you joining us. I hope you guys can see guys like that are dealing with. You can talk pie in the sky about helping people and all that. The Restaurant Industry as a percentage of new cases is the lowest on the list. Why are they always targeted . This is weird, right . All right. All of this happening on a day that the electors for the election are meeting around the country. Joe biden is getting closer and closer to the 270 electoral votes he will need to officially become the next president of the United States. They could be waiting on california at the top of the hour, about 20 minutes from now. Its 50 plus electoral votes could seal the deal and make it all official after this.

The whole number of electors for president of the United States is 538 of which a majority is 270. Donald trump of new york has received for president of the United States 304 votes. Hillary clinton the state of new york has received 227 votes. Of the 115th congress, the chair declares the joint session dissolved. Neil all right. January 2017, Vice President joe biden making the official news and certifying the electoral vote that ultimately went to donald trump and made him the 45th president of the United States. Now rolls reversed. It will be mike pence the Vice President of the United States and president of the senate that will make the tally official going among state capitols. All the electors meeting to show the allegiance to the popular vote. Whoever wins the popular vote gets the vote. The top of the hour were expecting that to confirm that joe biden is the next president of the United States. Ironically it will be mike pence in that role on january 6 when all of this is made official in washington that will be stating just that. The read on this and the significance of this with reed wilson from the hill a great writer. Reed, you look at these ironies that will be the then four years ago the future president talking about the guy he beat becoming president. That is mike pence in that role in just a few weeks to do the same. Its looking like its going to go in that direction, isnt it . Yeah, the final votes are being cast now in oregon, california. The california electors at the top of the hour and hawaii votes at 7 00 p. M. After that, joe biden will have north of 300 votes. Almost the same count four years ago with Hillary Clinton and donald trump. Although four years ago, there were faithless electors that were supposed to vote for the candidates and showed up for somebody else. That is not happening this year. The Biden Campaign is more careful to make sure that they picked electors that would stick with them. These are Party Leaders and activist types. Hillary clinton was in new york casting her vote for joe biden. Neil these states do allow their electors to go ahead and to Something Like that where they can vote their choice. Its rarely done, right . Yeah, almost never done. Happened a couple of times four years ago when several electors in Washington State voted for a native american activist for president. Every now and then somebody will vote against a Vice President ial candidates. In 2004, john edwards got one voted that was supposed to go to john kerry. Every now and then, theres a faithless elector. Neil so when you look at this, its a foregone conclusion that certainly when california cost their votes in the 55 or whatever, its over, right . Its over. Joe biden is the next president. All the legal challenges have been exhausted. Could anything happen between now and the 6th when this is certified in congress that could disrupt that . Congress gets the final say in accepting these the vote tallies that are being counted today. Its not going to happen that theyre going to overturn the certified results of an election. That is not to say that some republicans will try. Four years ago, joe biden was interrupted 11 times by democrats that opened to some or all of the electors sent from various states. This time youll see republican congressmen try to do the same but mike pence is probably going to rule them down and rule against them. Simply because they have to debate the electors themselves. If they do and if there is a challenge to the states, the house and the senate have to retreat to their respective chambers and debate the motions. Realistically speaking, none of these votes will be overturned. Bill well watch carefully and following the developments. Were expected in the next 15 minutes or more especially when we get california when they vote for joe biden. So stunning clever legal ploys or Something Else that could happen. But that is unlikely. Meantime, we have early voting beginning for the Runoff Election on january 5 in georgia. Thats a day before, by the way, the big electal vote in washington d. C. In a joint session of congress. How is that looking at this point . Im talking about georgia after this. Research shows people remember commercials with nostalgia.

The senate Runoff Election in georgia for the two senate seats that are up for grabs there will be decided three weeks from today. Early voting for that can begin today in savannah, georgia. Voters were lined up for that honor. Steve harrigan in atlanta with the latest. Hey, steve. Neil, the line seemed to be going smoothly so far. It was a chilly rainy morning. So most lines well under 30 minutes. The one behind me just a few minutes to get in to vote. As you mentioned, the two Senate Runoff races set for january 5 will determine which Party Controls the senate for the next two years. And the sides are starkly divided. The one side, the two democratic challengers saying its time for dramatic change in the state of georgia. What is really on the ballot . Healthcare is on the ballot. A livable wage is on the ballot. Criminal Justice Reform is on the ballot. Voting rights. All of these issues are on the ballot. So thank you so much. Make a plan to vote. Gather everybody in your circle. This is a defining moment in american history. The two republican senators have said that their opponents are too radical for the state of georgia. Theyve had the additional challenge of regular criticism of the voting process in georgia by the president. So both republicans have had to talk about the november election quite a bit. Heres senator kelly loeffler. What were doing is make sure that we have more signature verification. Were in the courts right now fighting for that. Weve seen a string of high profile politicians coming here to campaign. Tomorrow its joe biden. Neil . Neil steve harrigan, thanks very much. Steve is in the middle of that, atlanta, georgia again three weeks from tomorrow. The next day of of course, the confirmation in the nations capitol for president. Charlie gasparino. Both of these seats can go democrat. You need both to go democrat before the senate to switch hands. We occasionally like to raise this what if possibility what if this is wrong . What if both seats go democrat . How would the markets digest that, how would washington digest that . I imagine both would be surprised, charlie gasparino. And angered. My sources as you know in the wall street firms to private equity firms are keeping a close eye on this. They have people on the ground monitoring this election. If the dems control the senate and you know that fiscal policy will be much more radical, more tax increases. Biden the stuff that biden ran on will get passed. If they get 50 seats, Kamala Harris is the tiebreaker and he can pass his ambitious and antibusiness agenda. He admitted it. Increased regulations, taxes, green new deal. You name it. This is what theyre telling me. Im not down there. The people down there representing the wall street firms monitoring say this. The dems have an amazing ground game. Its led by stacy abrams who has a get out the vote effort who lost narrowly to brian kemp. The current governor. Its amazing. Its strong. Its working. But that is sort of balanced by the fact that the two democrats running are bad in different ways. Jon ossoff is, if you listen to like republicans, hes a lightweight. Former documentary maker. Not a guy that ratchets up with david purdue. You know kelly loeffler. Her problems with trading stocks. Reverend warnock is a good orater but hes to the left of a barack obama and probably right there on the political spectrum with aoc and the republicans i talk to, the wall street firms that are down there saying they cant imagine that an aoc would become the next senator from georgia. So that is what people are weighing. The ground game, which is pretty good based on what stacy abrams doing based on the Democratic Candidates have problems. Reverend warnock is leftist. You can listen to his words. Jon ossoff is kind of a cipher. Theres not that much stature to them. Their individual politics dont matter if they win with all of that. Its a Different Senate and one more likely to pass joe bidens tax increases including corporate rate up to 28 , 21 . The hike the taxes on rich guys like you, right . Yes. Thats why im worried about this. Listen, i call them as i see them. I can tell you my sources were on the ground saying they could see it going they think that in the end, they think, maybe its wishful thinking, the republicans will pull it off because the other two Democratic Candidates are so bad in different ways so bad, but really bad. Remember, with aoc neil is the president helping or hurting their cause . He was raising the question of the reliability of the vote in georgia. Many of his fans could say maybe i shouldnt vote in the senate election. That was a problem. They think hes going back down there, by the way. Thats what im hearing, he will campaign for them again. Hes going to try to push them over the finish line. You know, he did remember, donald trump barnstormed the last two weeks of the election and nearly pulled it off. They think he can pull that off in georgia again. Thats what theyre hoping for. Neil do you see anything right now as far as voter turnout that works for one partys advantage or the other . Runoff elections are problematic. The inside money part of it where the republicans are raising more might favor them . Is there any reliable day that . That does help. Theyre i hear theres an ad every 30 seconds. Sources of mine have been asked to give money like crazy. These are bankers from out of state. That said, that does work. Theres no doubt about that. You have to compare it to what stacy abrams is doing from what i understand is pretty impressive in terms of getting out the vote. Neil shes very good at that. Well see. Well see. All right. Thank you very much. Charlie gasparino enjoying his final days with the tax rate as it stands right now. Well see and monitor charlie and how hes doing. Make take a pulse check and all that. That will do it here. Waiting for california to roll in and make joe biden the next president of the United States. Heres the five. Dana helm dana perino with jesse watters, greg gutfeld, juan williams, 5 00 in new york city and this is the five. A monumental moment for america in the fight against covid19.
