Contest the election in several states across the country and his efforts last night, comments last night. Sure. First i say elections have to accomplish two purposes, first of all they have to decide the outcome, a winner, in this case the presidency. But secondly they have to do that in a manner that satisfies the loser and the losers supporters that the outcome is just. I think thats where this election probably has fallen short. So i think its understandable that the president and many of his supporters, including me, have many questions about this election. Frankly we saw an unprecedented number of changes to the election procedures across the country. Many of those procedures not tested before this election. Most of those procedures resulting in a delay in getting to an answer. And now we see a rush to judgment. Despite having introduced untested proceduresprocedures, questionable procedures in some cases you may say, now many want to push past the actual careful counting of the

So far 306 electoral votes for joe biden, 232 for President Trump. The popular vote standing at 81 million for joe biden and 74 million for President Trump. Here is the headline reporting in the Washington Post. Trump escalates election attacks in 46 minute video rant. They say trumps video represented his most comprehensive remarks about the election and came after he spent the month since the election hidden from public view say for a handful of appearances and a call in on fox news channel. Any hope of the president might be coming to grips with his loss and accepting the fact that joe biden will be sworn in as president was dashed by his combative and emphatic tone, which amounted to a call to arms to his supporters.

Welcome to firing line, albert bourl thank you very much, margaret. Dr. Bourla, t question on everyones mind is, when will average americans realistically be able to get the covid19 i believe, sometime in the next year maybe the third or the Second Quarter. Inand the reason why im s that we will be able to provide to the American People around 20 million doses or more this year. But this is 10 Million People with two does, and im sure that the alth authorities would like to use them strategically. So, at the beginning, who will get the vaccine will be predetermined by them. As and likely, me, it will be people either with high risk or firstlineorkers. So i believe that we will reach a level around Second Quarter that maybe people can just go and get them in thr pharmacies or at the Physician Office at their will. Do you think, by next summer . I think so. By next summer should be fine. L t about the shot. The vaccine uses mrna technology, which is ahn breahrough togy for vaccinations.
