The u. S. By end of march. All of these mutations, fauci emphasized can be stopped or slowed by increase in vaccinations. Viruses cannot mutate if they dont replicate. The fundamental principle of getting people vaccinated as quickly and as efficiently as you possibly can will always be the best way to prevent the further evolution of any mutant, because when you do that, you prevent replication and replication is essential for mutation. Joining me now to talk about this is primary care doctor, a Public Health special iist. What do you think about 66 effectiveness . Im excited, brianne florida. Weve been spoiled with results from pfizer and moderna which is 95 effective as you just mentioned. Listen, this is still 85 effective in preventing severe disease and 100 effective in preventing deaths. The more vaccines, brianna, we have on the market the quicker we can vaccinate as many people. I always tell a lot of my patients, its not necessarily just the number of vaccinations. Its the pace at which we vaccinate as many people as possible quickly, and one more thing about Johnson Johnson which i think will be a huge gamechanger, its just one shot. So if we purchase 100 million doses, thats 100 Million People that can be fully vaccinated and it doesnt require a cold chain supply. And so what do you make about the effectiveness when it comes to this South African variant . Its not quite as effective. Still 57 . What do you think about that . You know, ultimately were going to find out that unfortunately these strains, the brazilian and South African strain the uk strain, all of these variants unfortunately are more transmissible, and as a result of that, they get into our bodies quicker, and we have found out that pretty much for all of the vaccines, the efficacy on the strains will go down, but still its effective. Its still effective in the sense it will work. Its not going to be like 95 effective but definitely do the job of makieing sure we break viral transmission. If you break viral transmission, you can prevent this mutation from rising left are and right. Left and right. The fact it is one shot. Not two shots. How important is that jp . Something that make it is a more attractive vaccine. Absolutely. My friends and patients say, doctor, which would you get . If i had a choice, still moderna and pfizer because of how effective it is snand the . Nik chain can be changed to require if we need a booster shot. Remember, Johnson Johnson is an effective vaccine comparing it to moderna and pfizer still but 50 60 is effective and most importantly we dont have enough of the moderna and pfizer. Getting Johnson Johnson into the mix were going to be vaccinated millions of people, not only the u. S. , really, all over the world. So im still optimistic and looking at the glass half full. Yeah. It is certainly better than not being vaccinated. When you look, like you said. Were spoiled with this 95 effective rate of the other vaccines. I want to ask you while i have you about Double Masking. No specific cdc guidance listen to the leader of Health Metrics puts out the forecasting models the white house uses, says substantial lab evidence shows how well certain masks can protect the user. One of the layers being propylene does seem to be much more effective, for example, than, you know, quite substantially mon effective than singleply masks. If Double Masking is a, a way towards that higher quality, a good seal around the nose and threeplied, thats a good thing. Okay. How do we double mask, then . How much would you recommend it . Especially now with these strains so transmissible and contagious. Ive actually changed my personal habits. Obviously i wear an n95 and face shield at work, but now even casual activities like going to the Grocery Store can be more dangerous because of how contagious these strains are. So, yes. I will wear a cloth mask and on top of that ill wear a k and n95 mask. So we dont panic, most important there is a tight fit. That the mask fits you in a fashion where if you turn your head to the left are and right and up and down, that its still a tight fit. You still can be able to breathe through it. I think it Double Masking is something that i would recommend moving forward. Im not necessarily advocating that everybody go out and get an n95. I dont think were going to have enough of that just yet. But a k n95 is available on amazon and its important if wearing a cloth mask that its actually at least three layers to offer you that protection. So its important that we wear a mask and we wear a mask consistently, but the type of mask and the fit is whats going to be most important. Thank you. So important to hear you walk us through that, dr. Matthew. Great to see you. Thank you, brianna. Regardless of the vaccine, there are still real concerns about racial and ethnic disparity brought to light by this pandemic. Daily headlines show how devastating it has been to black and latino communities. The lack of Vaccine Access and availability growing issues. Some lawmakers are demanding a racial breakdown who is getting the vaccine saying their constituents arent eving the information they need to protect themselves. Today a white house covid19 adviser says the u. S. Has to do Everything Possible to close the gap. Joined by a professor of Health Behavior and Health Education as university of Michigan School of Public Health and also associate faculty lead for, actually, sir, have you pause just for a moment while we take a look at joe biden from moments ago departing the south lawn of the white house. Soldiers and sailors wounded and look at the vaccination procedure. Ive been at walter reed a lot. I spent almost six months there myself as a patient. And in addition to that, as Vice President , every single christmas we spent all of Christmas Day at walter reed. These kids are amazing, and thank god theres not as many people to visit, so all the people im seeing today who are being treated, more of them amputees, are people who, in fact, are retired but theyre real heroes. Then were going to go see the vaccination distribution. So i spent a lot of time at walter reed. Theyre great americans. Theyre great people. Nice to see you all. Talking about the covid [ inaudible ]. Im sorry . Having covid relief in the Budget Reconciliation . I support Passing Covid relief with support from republicans if we can get it but covid relief has to pass. No ifs, ands or buts. Thank you. And mr. President [ inaudible ]. All right. This is actually tape weve gotten as i bring Arlette Saenz in here to talk about this. President biden actually arrived now at walter reed. There is, here we are day nine, arlette and theres significance why hes visiting walter reed today. Reporter there is. You heard President Biden and the First Lady Jill Biden talking about the importance that the military and troops will play in their administration, but it also holds very personal significance for biden as well. You heard him talk about how he was actually treated at walter reed back in the 1980s, after an aneurysm, but also his late son beau biden was treated there in the waning days of his life. He spent about the final ten days of his life before passing from brain cancer over at walter reed. Biden, when he was Vice President , often sneaking up there to see his son in those final moments. So there is a very personal connection for him as he is traveling up to walter reed today and as he made clear and his wife made clear that military families and helping the troops is going to be a top priority for them. Certainly is. A reentry into this agenda of this white house. Arlette, thank you for being with us. I want to bring back in now the conversation that was interrupted there by the president. Not bad. You know, to be interrupted by the president , doctor. Introducing you again, a professor of Health Behavior and Health Education at the university of Michigan School of Public Health. Ive been looking forward to this conversation to talk about what is so important, and that is the Racial Disparities were seeing in so many levels when it comes to coronavirus. Transmission, treatment, vaccination, access. Theres actually a study that shows black people ages 35 to 44. Very young. Theyre dieing at nine times the rate of white people the same age. So what is the best way to close this gap . Well, thank you, brianna, for having me this afternoon. A pleasure to be on the show. Weve got a lot of work to do. Estimates of 1 in 800 Black Americans killed by covid19 is really disturbing. We started out 1 in 10,000. Or even higher than that, and the number has just been getting smaller and smaller. So i think what we have to do to be able to address that has to do with addressing structural inequities in health in our society. We know that there is differential access to opportunities that promote health in terms of having access to food and housing. Financial security. The types of jobs that people are working. All of these things are root causes of some of the disparities that we see between africanamericans and whites that need to be addressed. I wonder how youre thinking about the vaccines now that we know johnson a johnsons will likely come online. Look, 66 effective is pretty effective but not 95 effective like moderna and pfizer. Should it be prioritized the more effective vaccines are going to higherrisk communities like black and Latino Americans . Well, i think its important that we think about that question. We want Black Americans and other people of color to enjoy the same levels of health as white americans, and other groups. But i think there are a number of important issues that have been mentioned, like dr. Fauci recently and others, that have to do with, you know, trust and belief in whether its safe to take the vaccine. People have reasons to mistrust or have doubts about the vaccine, and so i think even before we can address the issue of, you know, which one to take, weve got to think about what are the reasons that people are having hesitancy or doubts about taking the vaccine, and address those headon. So having conversations with folks, and thinking about the policies and practices that have, you know, sort of got us into this situation in the first place. Such that theres differential access to the vaccines and how people feel about taking it. Yeah. No. Its so important. I hope to continue this conversation with you, doctor. This is going to be something that takes us all the way through this pandemic, no doubt. Sir, thanks for being with us. Absolutely. Thank you, brianna.

Cnn learns the pipe bombs found near the Capitol On January 6th were chillily placed there the night before. What the fbi is saying. Two pipe bombs discovered near democratic and republican headquarters on the day of the capitol insurrection. The fbi is releasing photos of this person, an unidentified suspect wearing a grace hooded sweatshirt, face mask and carrying a backpack and believe likely this is the person who planted the pipe bombs. A cnn Law Enforcement analyst and former lead bomb tech for the fbi in new york city. Peter, you are the person to talk to about this. Thank you so much for being with us. My pleasure. These bombs planted the night before the capitol riot. What does it tell you the fact it was done the night before . Yeah. Preplanning involved in this. It wasnt just a whim. Not a rioter that showed up to the capitol that morning and just seeded the two primary Party Headquarters with these devices. This was preplanned, intentional and deliberate. They werent decoys, right . These were real bombs. They were functional but they didnt go off. What does that tell you . They were its assessed that theyre real. Obviously, theres an intent by this criminal, this Terrorism Bomber whatever terminology you want to use to actually have the devices function. Why they didnt function to be determined. Laboratory analysts from the fbi, subject Matter Experts are, how those, theyll have those reports ready to determine why they didnt function or maybe the timer wasnt necessarily set for that specific time, but they were viable devices and that should cause concern for all involved. They were discovered and then disarmed. If, say, they had exploded, how dangerous would they have been . Its kind of all relative. Its dangerous because its a destructive device by law. Its something that explodes. Which causies shock, black pressure. Thermal and in a pipe bomb fragmentations. Little metal fragments in the pipe as it explodes are flying through the air. Anyone within the vicinity will be affected with pieces of that device lodging into their skin and into their body and their flesh. Indeed. Peter, thank you for talking to us about this.
