The u. S. Ramping up efforts to fight the coronavirus as the country faces new challenges. Vaccinations are outpacing new cases, the u. S. Is averaging 1. 3 million vaccines administered every day, thats up from 1. 1 million just last week. New cases and deaths are dropping in most states across the country. But experts warn, now is not the time to be complacent. The u. S. Is seeing an increase in some of the new variants of the disease. Virginia, just reported its first case of the South African variant. And the cdc says more than 600 cases of these new variants have been reported in 33 states. And with that in mind, experts are warning americans against holding large super bowl parties tomorrow. The cdc offering new guidance that you should only watch the game with people you live with. To prevent new outbreaks. Several Sports Stadiums are opening up, as Mass Vaccination Sites across the country. The nfl is offering all 32 of its stadiums to the federal government to help speed up vaccination process. Several sites are already open. Cnns Polo Sandoval is at the Major League Baseballs Yankee Stadium in new york. Another new mass vaccination site. So polo, what are you seeing today . Two days in, fred, and theres certainly a high level of excitement for people actually able to make it here with those appointments, ready to go and get the vaccine lt youre joining me at the very front of the line. This is where folks get to where they speak to some of the folks helping with those efforts, including members of the national guard. And then show that proof of that they, in fact, live in the bronx and do, in fact, fit in those eligible categories of folks that are able to get vaccinated so make their way inside, get that much anticipated shot, and then leave here. One woman told me she waited about 15 minutes. It was a relatively smooth process. And i have to tell you, really its great to see the number of people who have come out here, especially older members of the community. Ive seen many people who are bringing their parents here, obviously quite vulnerable to this horrible virus, making sure that theyre protected. The fact that this is happening in the bronx is certainly no accident, given its predominantly black and hispanic population, many of whom felt this was long overdue. Its only people from these communities that have been particularly hard with the highest Transmission Rate at this point that are able to get that vaccine. Statewide we do know that about 3. 3 million vaccines have been distributed. Out of those, about 2. 1 million have been administered. Thats obviously a promising number, but its still very clear that officials in the state of new york want to aim higher, want to get more people protected and thats one of the reasons why new york, and really many parts of the country as well are continuing to move forward with these Vaccination Efforts at about 1. 5 million a day. As we heard from one Health Expert yesterday on our air say we still have only about 2 , roughly, 2 of the population vaccinated. That still is nowhere close to that Herd Immunity they would like achieved so we could at least try to get ahead of these variants expected to become the predominant strain come march, fred. Thats basically what were seeing in new york. Again, two days in, the goal is to vaccinate close to 15,000 people in a week, at least at this location. Pretty encouraging numbers, Polo Sandoval, thank you so much at Yankee Stadium. Atlantas nfl Mercedes Benz stadium is entering a new phase of vaccinations today. Cnns natasha chen is there for us. Natasha, who is getting vaccinated there today . Reporter fred, in the last few minutes we just heard the 600th person being called up for a vaccine, 600 before noon and today is all about the employees of local School Districts. So Fulton County schools, atlanta public schools, also employees who drive for the Public Transit system here marta, i have with me ron wade, the chief Human Resources officer of Fulton County schools. Youve got the eligible people among your employees who can get vaccinated right now. Thats people older than 65, health care workers. Tell me about how difficult its been to get them to get vaccinated, and have you had to do some convincing efforts . Yeah, when we began this partnership with Fulton County board of health we recognized we were going to have to inform, provide employees access and incentivize. To make sure employees were properly informed and interested in getting the vaccination we started with information sessions, bringing experts in with virtual sessions whereby employees could get the correct information and hopefully that would motivate them to get the vaccine. The next step was to provide access. Thats what were doing here today with our partners at Fulton County board of health. We have a number of incentives. They will get an opportunity to win 50 gift cards and the grand prize of a 70 inch television. The tv is the sweet spot. Thats the sweet spot. Reporter get your vaccine and possibly get a tv. And youre also getting your shot today. I will be getting my shot today as well. Reporter a lot of these folks are actually here getting their second dose because theyve come a few weeks ago for their first. Correct, this is the second of two events so the majority of the roughly 698 Fulton County School Employees are coming to get their second dose. We have about 170 getting their first dose today. Big picture, thats about 700. Youve got 14,000 employees. How are you continuing to make sure that school is a safe space when its kind of a slow effort right now to ramp up everybody getting vaccinated . Were implementing all the preventative measures, the Safety Measures that have been advised to us by public health. We do have two options for families, they can do remote or face to face. We provide our employees with our ppe, masks, hand washing, gloves if they want it. And also, you know, we have our own internal contact tracing. We have situations around covid, we can properly trace it and make sure its contained in our schools. Reporter thank you so much, mr. Wade and i have to mention hes been Walking Around with a Spray Bottle Disinfecting things. And its actually the superintendent of the School District whos calling up peoples names to get a shot. Everybodys being put to work here today, fred. Hey, every little bit counts, right, and it goes a long way. Natasha chen, thank you so much and thanks to mr. Wade there as well. Joining me is seema yasmine, a cnn medical analyst and former cdc Disease Detective and the author of a new book viral b. S. , medical myths and why we call for them congratulations on the new book. Doctor, im wondering are you at all encouraged by the increased pace of vaccinations thus far . I am. Its good news, right, its gone up from about 1. 1 million to 1. 3 million. And when narrowing that gap importantly between the number of vaccine doses that have been distributed to states and those that have actually crucially been injected into peoples arms. So that is all promising, of course. We need it to keep going in that direction. We need to keep vaccinating more people upwards of maybe 2 million americans a day. Heres the thing i really worry about, fredricka. If we focus solely on speed because speed is important, we could drop the ball on equitable distribution of convevaccines. This worries me because nothing about the pandemic has been even or fair, black people, indigenous people, people of color impacted by the virus itself and now receiving the vaccine at lower and slower rates than their white neighbors. Ill give you one quick example, North Carolina, 22 of the population there is black and actually black North Carolina make up 26 , they make up only 11 of those in North Carolina who have been vaccinated. Disproportionate. And we need to make sure that does not happen across the board, the distribution and administration of vaccines, it has to be fair, has to go to the most vulnerable first. I wonder if i could you know, ask you to give me a taste of your book when you talk your title, you know, among the myths that really has a lot of people, you know, falling for. Can you give me an example of what might be a myth you believe people are falling for that is a real setback . There are many myths now about vaccines, some saying that the mrna vaccines, for example, change your dna, they absolutely do not. The mrna in the vaccine goes into your body, your cells use that code to make the spike protein. But then that mrna disappears and it never interacts with your dna, doesnt even get into the pot of your cell, the nucleus where your dna has been stored. There have been Conspiracy Theories that the vaccines could make you infertile. Untrue as well. There are many, its hard to keep up with the Conspiracy Theories and the misinformation but really important we debunk them and give people the Accurate Information so they can be safe. Im really glad you brought up that dna one. I have a friend of mine who shared with me, that was something that some of her friends were believing in, that the a vaccination would change their dna. All right, so let me now ask you about the cdc director dr. Roc roc rochelle walinski. What are you expecting . Im hoep hoping that what is in these guidelines is concrete advice about whether the cdc believes teachers need to be vaccinated in order forschools to reopen. Theres been a bit it seems like flipflopping on this. The cdc director said a few days ago that maybe vaccinating teachers was not a prerequisite and then the White House Press secretary walked that back, saying she was speaking in a personal capacity, wait for the guidance. A few days ago there were three starters at the cdc who published a paper in the journal of American Medical Association taking a big overview look in the role of schools in the pandemic, and theyre saying schools didnt seem to be real hubs of infection, you could read that as saying is the cdc coming out with guidance that vaccines are not a prerequisite. And the cdc director was on cable news tv saying its not about vaccines, saying masks are distributed and worn in schools, that School Classrooms are not too densely populated. I know that Teaching Unions and many people are really concerned about this. I hope we get some really solid evidencebased guidance about how to safely reopen schools because President Biden has pledged that will happen by the end of april. Because, indeed, resources sometimes is the barrier for some of these schools or School Districts to put these measures in place. Dr. Seema yasmin, thank you so much. Thank you, fredricka.

President biden is pushing forward with his 1. 9 Trillion Covid relief bill but hes also acknowledging that not everything he proposed will make it through negotiations, including his federal minimum wage hike. Arlette saenz is in wilmington, delaware where the president is spending the weekend. Arlette, the president seems okay with fighting the minimum wage battle another day. Reporter he does, fred, he has said in this interview that ultimately he is not sure that 15 federal minimum wage will ultimately survive. Chalking that up to the senate rules process. This is something that biden campaigned on throughout the 2020 president ial campaign, calling for that raise in the minimum wage to 15 but there have been some republicans that have balked at that figure. He has also said that he believes he can bring it up at a different time if it is not part of this covid relief package. As these negotiations are still under way the president indicated that one area that he will not budge on is those 1,400 stimulus checks. He wants to get that exact amount out to American Families but he did say that he is willing to negotiate when it comes to who will receive those checks. As youve heard republicans calling them to be more targeted making sure they make it in the hands of the pockets of those American Families that need it most. That is an area of negotiation that he is interested in talking to democrats and republicans about. But when it comes to that 15 minimum wage, the president indicating that it just may not survive in this covid relief package, of course there are always give and takes in negotiations, and that might be one of the gives that hes giving. And then we also heard President Biden talk about whether former President Trump should continue to get intel briefings. Thats right, but President Biden talked about the fact that he personally does not believe that former President Trump needs access to these Intelligence Briefings that are afforded typically to previous president s. Take a listen to what he had to tell cbs news yesterday. Id rather not speculate out loud. I just think that theres no need for him to have that Intelligence Briefing. What value is giving him an Intelligence Briefing . What impact does he have at all other than the fact he might slip and Say Something . Now, White House Press secretary jen psaki just moments ago also elaborated a bit more on this. She said in a statement the president was expressing his concern about former President Trump receiving access to sensitive intelligence but he also has deep trust in his own Intelligence Team to make a determination about how to provide intelligence information if at any point the former president requests a briefing. So ultimately what she is suggesting there is that it is the president s opinion that former President Trump should not be receiving those classified Intelligence Briefings, but ultimately it will be up to the Intelligence Community to make that decision. Now, the latest reporting that we have is that former President Trump has not requested one of those briefings as president s previous former president s have done in the past. So that is still something that could come up for this Intelligence Community to assess if the president does or the former president does decide to go that route. In other words the door is always open for that. Arlette saenz, thank you so much.

Gop house leader Kevin Mccarthy survived a tumultuous week for the Republican Party but didnt escape unscathed. Questions about his leadership are growing after he took a hands off approach to a pair of controversies within his caucus. This week 11 republicans joined democrats in removing gop congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene from her committee post. And in a separate vote republicans decided to keep representative liz cheney in leadership despite her vote to impeach former President Trump. For more on this lets bring in Suzanne Malveaux on capitol hill. Good to see you. Mccarthy has several more challenges ahead to keep House Republicans united, right . Reporter absolutely, fred, and what happened that was critical this week was a fivehour meeting that occurred with republican conference and all of them together on wednesday, mccarthy leading them saying essentially look to 2022. They want to take control of the house. They want to be the majority. He, of course, is looking at the speakership. They must be united. And so what he did was essentially try to give room for Marjorie Taylor greene as well as representative liz cheney for both their points of view. It is a very difficult dance to do here, fred, as many republicans tell me quietly. They didnt want to have to react to all the tweets and the controversy of the former president , President Trump, and now theyve been faced with these same questions regarding greene and her qanon Conspiracy Theories and violent rhetoric that she has since distanced herself from, and dismissed. Nevertheless, they didnt want to have to deal with that on and on again. The more extreme element in the party, greene saying something very important, significant, she said she believes the Republican Party is trumps party and that is the direction shes going. On the other hand, you had cheney who very handily defended her position, survived the Leadership Position in that vote among their own caucus there. But, fred, today she is facing potentially a censure from the Wyoming State gop for her Impeachment Vote against the former president. And so there is a move afoot to punish those republicans who are criticizing or going against the former president. At the same time there are those who are trying to hold onto some conservative and moderate views. But both of these sides, its far from certain whether or not theyre really going to be able to get along and work along to get to that point where they want to be in 2022, and that is the majority. And then youve got two republican lawmakers who, you know, are the first members of congress to now be fined for violating the new security measures this one month after that insurrection that nobody can forget. But tell us what happened here. Its a 5,000 fine, immediately taken out of their paychecks, this is a new rule that went into effect just this past week, and it was because there were some lawmakers, members who werent going through the magnetometer, refused to be wanted to get on the house floor where firearms are not allowed. These two republican congressmen, one of them louie gomert of texas. And both of them are fighting this. Gomert saying it was an innocent mistake, if you will, his statement saying they made it sound like i avoided the metal detectors. Ive been abiding by those completely, and so all the sudden somebody made an arbitrary and capricious decision to all the sudden Start Wanding when they saw you go to the restroom. He is going to fight that. And then you have clyde very different response, he was saying on fox news that he has really avoided these magnetometer, he doesnt believe in them. He said im going to appeal it and take them to court because this is unconstitutional. Were all set to do that but i have to have standing in this. And so, fred, there is even this debate within lawmakers within the party really what is responsible and acceptable behavior on the house floor and at the same time a real safety concern from some of the democrats that we heard this week saying that they dont feel safe among their own colleagues. So theres a very far way to go before anybody seems to be able to Work Together and get something done. Right, and these Safety Concerns persist. Suzanne malveaux, thank you so much. All right, so as i mentioned today, does mark one month since the deadly capitol riot and now the proud boys, an Extremist Group with ties to white nationalists is under increased pressure for any role its members may have played in the insurrection. Another proud boys leader was arrested this week as federal authorities investigate the groups ties to the deadly assault. Here now is cnns brian todd. At the height of the insurrection, one rioter sent out a video of himself celebrating. Hello from the capitol. Reporter prosecutors say this is nicholas oaks, the founder of the hawaii chapter of the far right protrump group the proud boys who have often engaged in street battles with antifa. Now oaks with another proud boys associate are indicted for conspiracy in the capitol riot investigation. Prosecutors say they conspired to block congresss certification of bidens win, planned and fund raised for the effort. And then joined the mob. The proud boys for ready, near the capitol early. The group of proud boys were one of the first groups to breach the corden at one point in the capitol. Another of them did get inside. They seemed to be talking to each other, coordinating to a certain degree. Oaks and dekarlo inscribed the words murder the media. Oaks said, quote, we didnt have to break in, i just walked in and filmed. Another proud boys associate Ethan Nordeen has been arrested, he engaged in planning before january 6th, saying he asked for protective gear and Communications Equipment on social media prior to that day. Two others linked to the proud boys, william pepe and Domonic Pizzola are also charged, but in their case they worked together more during the attack. Prosecutors say pizzola is the one seen here smashing a window at the capitol with a shield. According to cnns analysis at least 11 people with ties to the proud boys have been charged in connection with the capitol riot, including Joseph Randall biggs who prosecutors believe had a walkietalkie like device and who they say urged followers to blend in. Three members of the oath keepers have been indicted on conspiracy charges. I think now we see this moment of action, of arrests, and of an enormous amount of attention and pressure on these groups. Reporter analyst Kathleen Ballu says agencies have the capability to take down the proud boys, the oath keepers and other groups but she worries about what happens next. As Pressure Mounts on the proud boys today, members will flee to other groups where they will continue their activism. Reporter meanwhile the prominent follower of the Qanon Movement weve been reporting on, Jacob Chandsley has been moved from a d. C. Jail to one in nearby alexandria, virginia because d. C. s department of corrections couldnt get him the organic food that a judge ordered he should be given. Chandsley had been on a Hunger Strike in recent days because he hadnt gotten organic food in jail. Brian todd, cnn, washington. Officials are working to regain control of a downtown st. Louis jail after chaos broke out there overnight. About 115 inmates overtook an area of the jail before they set fires, broke out windows and then threw things from the fourth floor windows, at least one Corrections Officer was taken to the hospital after being attacked by the inmates. All but one of the inmates are now in custody, and about 60 of them are expected to be transferred to a more secure facility. As Lawmakers Debate over the stimulus relief bill, millions of americans are facing poverty because of the pandemic. The second lady of pennsylvania is taking matters into her own hands, and she continues to help those struggling in her community. She joins us next to discuss her initiative, called the free store. every day can be extraordinary with rich, creamy, Delicious Fage total yogurt. President biden continues to call for the quick passage of his 1. 9 Trillion Covid relief plan with or without support from republicans. Biden is pointing to an underwhelming jobs report as proof americans are still suffering. Just 49,000 jobs were added in january, compared to the nearly 10 million jobs that have been lost since the pandemic began more than a year ago. And as millions struggle for work and to make ends meet theres a store in braddock, pennsylvania thats trying to make a difference. The free store, 15104 is the zip code. S is a Volunteer Store that distributes surplus and goods to those in need at no cost. The store was founded by gisele fedderman, also pennsylvanias second lady. Shes joining me right now. Good to see you. Thanks so much for having me. This isnt a new store. I mean, youve been doing this, what, since 2012 . We have. But in this last year of this pandemic, you have seen Something Different in terms of the need and the people who have been taking advantage of the food store. Tell me what youve been seeing. Absolutely, so weve been serving families for, you know, nine years, and whats been hard to see is during the pandemic weve seen a change, and that not only has our visitor base increased, but also weve seen previous donors who have now become shoppers and weve seen that change. You know, we always celebrate when we have a shopper who becomes a donor. Its a very special moment when theres that change but weve seen the other the opposite happen during this pandemic. Which has been hard. Yeah, its been very hard. You know, weve been hearing from people, and so many cities saying theyre standing in food lines, asking for help for the first time in their lives. And many describe it as being really humiliating, and humbling. What are people telling you . How do they verbalize it to you . Its the same thing, they pull me aside but by now have theyve gotten to know me, weve spent time together at the store and they realize weve created a space of dignity, its a space that the language we use is different, how we treat people is different and we really believe that with food specially you should be able to pick what you want. Many plays youll get a box of things. It may be that you eat nothing in that box. So we really believe in a dignified approach. So families will get to pick what they need. Everyone is treated with love, accepted with open arms. So i think that has helped. They have felt safe coming to our space because theyve gotten to know it over the last several months. Thats so nice. The idea of this free store. I mean, it came out of your own experiences, right, after coming to the u. S. From brazil as a little girl, you were undocumented, your mom would tole you, have a good day, but be invisible today. So how did your life experience, and Finding Worth in everything, you know, bring this idea of this free store . It was completely inspired by my immigrant experience, we came to this country, we were young immigrants and we dumpster dived. I remember these experiences. And i remember being shocked at what america would discard and how disposable things felt because that never would have happened in my country. But it also informed me that there is plenty of food and things, its just were throwing them out. And i wanted to keep things out of landfills but also get it into the bellies and into the homes of families who could use it because i was one of those families. Wow, and youre giving back in a different way. Its obviously making a tremendous difference. I wonder what do you see, you know, next . I mean, this has been a hard year. Do you see that, you know, in the coming months, perhaps even at least another year, that the need is still going to be great for an outlet like this free store . I think it is, of course im always hopeful that, you know, one day we wont need them but i think we should always need a space like that because we should be conscious about our environment. We should be Keeping Clothing in rotation. All that has an immense impact. We have to get away from this idea that because something may be gently used that its no good. There is value in these things. Theres value in places. Theres value in people. And we really try to carry that message. And before i let you go, i also want to ask you about your husband Lieutenant Governor John F Fetterman who defended pennsylvanias election results. He filed this week to possibly run for u. S. Senate. Im sure you guys have talked about it. What do you want to share with us about the family plans and its pursuit to washington . Well, im going to find out on twitter with everybody else. Thats how your going to get notified, like the rest of us, via twitter . Are you sure . You dont want to share something with us on how you all are making plans, looking for real estate, anything like that . No, i mean, we make decisions as a family, we make sure that, you know, the kids and levi, theyre all on board with whatever step we take next and i think our family will be having a lot of meetings this weekend figuring it out. After those family meetings, you let us know. We have a place for you here. Gisele fetterman, thank you so much. Byebye. And of course well have more news in a moment. More americans are cooking during this pandemic, and in this weeks human factor, food blogger kevin curry talks about the connection between food and Mental Health 11 years after nearly taking his life. Here now is dr. Sanjay gupta. I think my earliest memory of feeling depressed and anxious was when i was in the fifth grade. In our household we kept family things to ourselves. I didnt feel like i had like an outlet. Kevin curry hit rock bottom in his late 20s. I decided it was time to end my life. I researched how to cut my wrists and i had drawn sharpie marks on my arms. He believes a random call from a former counselor saved his life. I started to tell her what i was feeling. I had never unpacked that before with anybody. Ultimately medicine and exercise made kevin feel better. But it wasnt enough. He needed to change his diet to improve his State Of Mind for the long term. You can never outtrain a poor diet. If i was going to make significant change it had to start in the kitchen. So i started to cook. Kevin posted his dishes online. I started my blog in august 2012. It just began to grow. Thats what created fit men cook. The Global Community of people dedicated to living healthier and happier lives. Today kevin uses social media to promote better Mental Health through food. Hes also published his own cook book. But he says his biggest accomplishment is simply being alive. Im so happy that at the end of the day, with all thats gone on, that im still here.

Fox business has abruptly taken one of its most prominent anchors, lou dobbs, off the air, hes named in a 2. 7 billion lawsuit filed by a Voting Technology company this week stemming from the network pushing long debunked Conspiracy Theories that the november election was stolen. In other words, a big lie. Heres a preview of tonights cnn special report for the record the truth behind trumps big election lie. Even before the Election White House officials said results should be known on Election Night despite no legal basis for that. We want Election Night to look like is a system thats fair, a situation where we know who the president of the United States is on Election Night. Thats how the system is supposed to work. Questions were also raised about whether trump would commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he lost. The president will accept the results of a free and fair election. Reporter but what constitutes a fair and fle recol free election and who gets to decide that . The ultimate decision that an election is free and fair comes in the certification of the vote totals by the state which is what you saw this year on december 14. Reporter a source tells cnn right after that December 14th Vote Pressure began to build on Vice President pence to stop bidens victory. And Conspiracy Theories tested the foundation of democracy like never before. Its loony tunes crazy town, you know, Man Bites Dog i cant even equate every kind of cliche you can come up to see how crazy they all are. Pamela brown is joining me now. While we hear less from the president these days he did throw his support to lou dobbs last night. In other words, the lie continues . Oh, absolutely. And the fallout from the lie continues. Were seeing that with these billion suing people who perpetuated the big election lie, perpetuated those Conspiracy Theories and the consequences of the fallout havent been seen yet. Millions of people in this country believe the election was stolen because their president was telling them so and then disinformation was spreading online about it. And so that really hurts the future in terms of Policy Debates with joe biden now in the white house with all of these with the midterms in a couple of years, with the future of america as a democracy and a society, it raises all kinds of questions, how the big election lie will impact america in the months and even years to come. One has to wonder, you know, pamela, if lawsuits like this one, from smartmatic, if it might discourage other news outlets like fox from running these finds of narratives in the future. It certainly raises that question, and that was a huge move to remove lou dobbs from fox business because he had the Highest Rated show there, that shows once that lawsuit came from smartmatic, it got their attention in a big way, but in terms of how the other particularly right Wing Networks are going to deal with that in the future, youre seeing one american news, oan, airing mark lindells the my pillow ceo, did something claiming that he had had proof. But then the disclaimer from information play out. We have to do our role to put the pieces of the puzzle together and though there was nothing behind these allegations that joe biden was legitimately elected and even republicans who contested the election, like madison who i interviewed, even said the election was legitimate, it wasnt fraudulent.
