Supplemental for more security for members when the enemy is within the house of representatives, a threat that members are concerned about in addition to what is happening outside. We have Members Of Congress who want to bring guns on the floor and have threatened violence against other Members Of Congress. Reporter hostility between the parties is bad enough but among republicans its getting ugly. Many of them more focused on absolving the former president on insurrection than rebuilding a battered company. Ryan nobles from capitol hill. Reporter laura and christine, there is a bit of a civil war happening on capitol hill between republicans that voted for the impeachment of President Trump and those who still passionately support the president. At the middle of all of that is the House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy. He traveled to florida on thursday to meet with the former president. The two both issuing a statement saying President Trump is prepared to help republicans win back the majority in 2022. The problem though is that there are still a handful of republicans that arent in agreement with embracing President Trump and liz cheney, who is one of those republicans that voted to impeach the president , matt gates, a florida congressman now attacking her. He traveled to her state of wyoming on thursday to criticize her and perhaps drum up support for a primary challenger. Then theres of course Marjorie Taylor greene, a georgia congresswoman, whos run into a great deal of controversy. A cnn report showing she had past social media posts where she called for the execution of Democratic Leaders like nancy pelosi, now pushed by democrats to expel her from the house of representatives, thats unlikely, but theyre also pushing for her to be removed from the house education committee. That is more likely. Youre going to see that drum beat only increase next week when congress, at least the house of representatives, returns to session. Laura and christine . Thanks, ryan. We got a sense of the human toll of the covid variants. The prediction model predicts 595,000 deaths by may 1st as the most likely scenario. The worst case, it projects nearly 654,000 american deaths by may 1st. By some estimates thats as many as died on both sides of the civil war. That means the variants from the u. K. , brazil and south africa could kill an additional 85,000 people above the previous projections. Anywhere else is like wiping out a major American City like baltimore or las vegas. We are in a race against the variants right now. The faster were able to reduce overall rates of infection by taking the Public Health measures, distancing, the faster were able to vaccinate people, the faster we can turn this pandemic around. Theres no evidence it can cause severe covid19. Early indicators are that it makes it more contagious. Caseloads are starting to ease now. The South African Variant Of Covid is here. The first confirmed cases of the strain found in two people in south carolina. State Health Officials say neither person has any noteworthy travel history and theres no connection between the two cases suggesting that the variant may already be more widespread than previously known. This all comes as novavax announces its Coronavirus Vaccine is 90 effective. A separate study in south african where the new variant has been raging for months shows the vaccine was considerably less effective. Cnns David Mckenzie is live in johannesburg. You were at a Johnson Johnson trial just a few minutes ago. What did you see . This is a critical trial of the Johnson Johnson vaccine. We expect results of that very soon. That could be a game changer. As you said, already some vaccines show that they are not as effective with the south african strain. Weve seen an extremely dramatic scientific wave. People are not able to fight off the virus even though theyve had it before with an earlier strain. We were at that site, the Johnson Johnson site. Monitoring some more than 200 volunteers, checking blood, symptoms if any, making sure people are following all the protocols. We even went into the pharmacy and saw those precious experimental vaccines in the fridge. This could be, as i said, incredibly important if the Johnson Johnson vaccine is effective. The question is will it work against the south african variant, variants found in brazil and the u. K. One of the big concerns though is if it is, if others are seen to be, is getting vaccines out to places like south africa, the rest of the african continent. Everybody in the u. S. Is potentially safe as variants develop. Take a listen to a nurse i spoke to. They deserve to have this vaccine. Whether theyre involved in the production, whether theyre involved in the Clinical Trial or whatever, i think everybody in this world, if people want the vaccine, the vaccine has to be available for them. If a vaccine doesnt come quickly, whats the impact . Well, the impact is we worry about the new variant. Reporter those new variants that have emerged have dominated the infection. I was looking at a study done in this province of south africa showing how the variant discovered in late november of last year just absolutely took over. Places in suetta, in south africa and other parts of the continent. People who have it with no travel history in the u. S. Is very concerning. Thats why theyre rushing to create boosters to address all of the variants. Thank you so much. European regulators are expected to authorize the vaccine. The eu is already upset and germany says the vaccine may not be safe for some of the most Vulnerable People anyway. Cnns melissa bell joins us outside of a plant in belgium where the astrazeneca vaccine is produced. Melissa . Reporter christine, we are waiting to see what they have to say about the possibility of making this vaccine, the astrazeneca one, available throughout the e. U. Even before we hear about that, fears of the amounts of vaccines that are going to be delivered at a time when europe is going to vaccinate its population. Even before this astrazeneca vaccine becomes available. Thats how badly europeans needed it. That helps explain, christine, their anger. What astrazeneca says the reason theyre not able to give out as many to the e. U. As they plan to, is at sites like this one where it is produced, what they explain is you get different yields. The cells they use for the vaccine have a relative amount of yield. Some sites and other sites you can see a threefold difference between the yields. It is because of that slow production they say at this particular site that there will be a slower rollout in the e. U. The e. Usaid it is not playing any games. It has announced an inspection of the site. It will have sack seen Export Restrictions making sure they dont head to the u. K. Where theres a shortage in europe. To give you an idea how monumental the task is, they want to vaccinate 70 by the summer. At the moment theres about 2 . A long road here to climb. This morning fans are mourning the loss of a true icon. Actress sicily tyson. She had Ground Breaking performances as she paved the way for generations of black actors who came behind her.

Became the oldest person at 88 to win a tony award for her 2013 Broadway Revival of the trip to bountiful. She refused to take roles that werent realistic portrayals of black women. In the words of oprah she illuminated the humanity of black people. I made up my mind then that i could not afford the luxury of just being an actress. There were a number of issues that had to do with me as a woman born black and living in a country that did not recognize me as a human being, that i could not afford that country. I wanted to address those issues, and thats why i was steadfast in terms of what i was giving to my audiences. In 2016 tyson was awarded the medal of president ial freedom by barack obama.

President biden pushing to get health care for americans during the pandemic. Its designed to reverse the damage his predecessors did to the Signature Health care law. We get this from Kaitlyn Collins at the white house. Reporter good morning, christine and laura. Yesterday was another day of Executive Orders. This time related to health care. One of the main ones he signed was reopening the Enrollment Period for the marketplaces for the Affordable Care act so people can enroll to get health care should they choose to do so. What theyll be doing is opening the Enrollment Period for 90 days from February 15th To May 15th. That allows people to sign up for health care which has been a massive concern because of the pandemic. We were told by sources last year that people went to President Trump, urged him to actually reopen this period given people were suffering job losses at a rate that we had not seen in so long and people were now interested in Getting Health Care because a pandemic was sweeping the nation. President trump refused to do so. That was a period that only lasted for about six weeks. It ended. That Enrollment Period back in december. This will be reopening. Officials have said part of the challenge is going to be making sure people are aware this is something they can actually do. Thats going to be another part of the campaign that youre seeing the white house go after in the next few months until this enrollment is over. If President Biden wants to do much more on health care, hell take the legislative route. The most important thing to him right now is getting passed the Covid Proposal that is not getting bipartisan support. Its getting support from democrats but the white house is trying to get republicans on board. As President Biden has said he wants this to be a bipartisan bill. Whether or not it will be still remains to be seen basically. Caitlyn, thank you for that. New insight that the economys long road to recovery. Last year it shrank contracting 3. 5 .
