Cleared for takeoff after 2 fatal flights. The boeing 737 max safety approval in the United States they are struggling to pfizer says it will request emergency approval for its coded 19 vaccine in the coming days. The vaccine developed with its german biotech has shown consistent results over various demographics with no major side effects. Final results from the pfizer biotech vaccine trial show a 95 percent success rate in all age groups. The highest of any candidate in late stage clinical trial. So far, the company says it could have 50000000 doses available by the end of the year. But its distribution is complicated by the need to store the vaccine at temperatures of minus 70 degrees celsius. We have confident that if, if we continue across the current of 8, it could, could happen that we get not what it was until mid of the stand to, to provide 1st millions of doses of experience to the region to get an approval on october. But theres growing concern that wealthy nations will quickly buy up the majority of any vaccine leaving poor a cup or a countrys lost in line. The Campaign Group global justice now has won up to 85 percent of the worlds poorest people wont have access. And thats because pfizer and biotech, ive already sold 82 percent of the 1300000000. 00 doses they can produce by the end of next year. And its the same case with the pharma company, medan as vaccine its sold. Its already sold 70 percent of its 780000000. 00 doses. Theyve been stopped by the worlds richest nations, which only make up around 40 percent of the worlds population. That leaves very little room for aid organizations to help or nations. While the development has been welcomed by the world health organization, it has warned that vaccines or anyone part of a successful response to the corona virus. And in vaccines is going to give us a huge chance. But if we add vaccines and forget the other, things over does not go to 0. We need to add vaccination to the existing physical measures being careful and hygiene. And if we add that physical distancing in hygiene and care to vaccine, i think we will go a long way to getting rid of this once. And all of this is the United States continues to say, and i like a celebration of coded 1000 cases. Now the number of corona virus related has crossed 250000. Its reported more than a 1000000 new infections in the past week alone. According to the Americas Branch of the world health organization, there are well over 11300000 cases confirmed across the u. S. , making it statistically the worlds worst hit nation. U. S. President elect joe biden has been hosting a Virtual Meeting with Frontline Health care workers battling the coronavirus, emphasized they wanted to head directly from those whove seen the reality of the pandemic and how devastating it is to american communities. Biden told his guest that deservedly who would work hard to support nurses and carers. Lets get more now from Shihab Rattansi and joe bidens. Hometown of wilmington del, about what device from care Health Workers actually tell how rowing stories Shocking Stories that we had at the beginning of the pandemic, which but clearly the terrible situation continues for a lot of those who are in the hospitals or who strives firemen and fire personnel and so on. One of them was that the shortage of people, personal protective equipment still. And the fact that they have to reuse equipment over and over again, they just dont feel safe as theyre tending to patients or people who are potentially infected. Thats one issue. Another issue was nurses saying they have to if the thing force to go into work, even though they test positive and show symptoms, but the, the hospital say look, you either go into work or you dont, you dont survive, you dont have any money. And of course, there is that dilemma in the us because congress doesnt act because the republicans and democrats are in deadlock. That actually, that is always the choice you. You either go to work with the disease perhaps, or, you know, you start, you dont have any, theres no real support. You know, after that, when the stimulus bill was passed. So biden says, look, he will bring about change and he can do quite a lot without congress on some of these issues on p. P. He can invoke the defense production act, which will centralize the production and distribution of personal protective equipment once and for all. Donald trump went for a state by state about 11 states were basically left to fend for themselves. Organizations funded for themselves, often bidding against each other for p. P. Driving up prices. This would put an end to that. So thats one thing he can do. All the nurses being forced into work and unsafe working conditions. There are plenty of regulations on the books which just arent being followed and inforced which the federal government can do. So biden saying, look, this, this will change once i become president , but its not Just Congress that has a problem. You also have the Transition Teams. The president elects Transition Team and the president s transiting, not meeting on covert 19 on a covert, 19 response. Right. Whats happening there . Right, the election hasnt been officially certified. So until that happens, the federal government says look, were not going to have trouble ministration is usurping telling its of the federal government, please. Not to cooperate with the Transition Team. And once again, we have joe biden saying look, well, its going to be a real gap once we take office because we dont have the information, we have to be able to prepare a transition into government all over 1000, specifically Vaccine Distribution for example. What plans are being drawn up . What is capability . What are the stockpiles the that theyre planning on . They dont have any of that information. Its very difficult for them to then sort of hit the ground, running it as the by the Administration Says once the once they, once they take office thats, thats a major problem. Major issue. Be all about the broader strategy. Still not really clear from the bite and ministration will biden lead from the white house, with federal initiatives on mosque mandates and shut down some of his advisors every now and then say look, maybe we need a 4 to 6 week shutdown, but theyre immediately shut down themselves by the Biden Campaign to say that i just became a personal capacity because its a tricky issue between states and federal government. But there are all these questions remain unanswered, partly because the Biden Administration or the biden musician in waiting is completely in the dark as to the reality of the situation on the ground.
