called it a national tragedy. the country's shameful secret, its failure to provide even basic care to the elderly during the pandemic . welcome, everyone. johnson & johnson's coronavirus vaccine will soon be shipped across the united states, following the food and drug administration clearing it for emergency use. it is the third covid vaccine to receive authorization in the u.s. and the first to require only a single dose. the federal government says it is ready to distribute up to 4 million doses immediately. most will go directly to the states and other local areas -- the rest will boost federal initiatives like the retail pharmacy program. two more steps remain before shots can start going into arms, though. the cdc's vaccine committee will meet in the coming hours to set guidelines for who should get it, then the agency's director must sign off. the single dose isn't the only advantage of the johnson & johnson vaccine. natasha chen reports on why else this is such a big deal. >> reporter: a third coronavirus vaccine will likely become available as soon as next week, now that the food and drug administration has authorizationed johnson & johnson's single-dose vaccine for emergency use. >> significantly, the vaccine is highly effective in preventing severe covid-19. >> reporter: the johnson & johnson vaccine requires no complex refrigeration and only one dose. the company says it's ready to begin shipping doses as early as sunday. >> having an additional safe and effective vaccine will help protect more people faster. >> reporter: and more people are eager to get one. a kaiser family foundation report friday showed 55% of surveyed adults in the u.s. had either had at least one vaccine dose or is eager to get one. that's up from early december when only about one-third of adults surveyed wanted a vaccine. there's still more demand than supply, especially after last week's winter storms sweeping through the midwest and texas disrupted the supply chain all over the u.s. >> vaccination sites like this one outside of atlanta saw none of that severe weather, but are feeling the effects. this afternoon, they're seeing all the people whose scheduled second dose appointments were canceled last week due to shipment delays caused by severe weather. more groups of people are becoming vible for the vaccine in some states. >> i was shaking, i can go get it. i think i'd been the youngest one through so far. >> reporter: with 7% of the country vaccinated, the number of cases, deaths, and hospitalizations continue to stay lower than the holiday peak. this relative progress is threatened by rapidly spreading variants. >> we have variants that are in play. we must address these. >> reporter: and the lifting of covid-19 restrictions in many states. new york nursing homes reopened with restrictions friday to some visitors, and tennessee lifts restrictions on visiting its long-term care facilities sunday. south carolina will lift restrictions on mass gatherings starting monday. >> i'm worried people are lifting restrictions saying, this is over, when the reality is, we're not over yesterday. we're in a race between variants and vaccines and we have to do whatever we can to shut down this virus. >> reporter: more and more groups of people are becoming eligible to get the vooes depending on the state. in georgia in a little more than a week, we'll start seeing teachers, for example, join the group of people eligible to get an appointment for the vaccine. president biden welcoming the news on the johnson & johnson vaccine. >> reporter: president biden praised the fda emergency authorization of the johnson & johnson vaccine as this vaccine really adds another tool to the country's toolbox in defeating the coronavirus pandemic. the president released a statement saying, this is exciting news for all americans and an encouraging development in our efforts to bring an end to the crisis. the president went on to thank the scientists who developed this vaccine and talked about the importance of vaccinations. and also maintaining social distancing and hand washing during this pandemic. he added at the end, there is light at the end of the tunnel, but we cannot let our guard down now or assume that victory is inevitable. we must continue to remain vigilant, act fast and aggressively, and look out for one another. that is how we are going to reach that light together. now the white house had been working for quite some time on the rollout of this vaccine once it is approved. they are planning to ship out 3 million to 4 million doses over the course of the next week. and the president has said that he wants to ramp up manufacturing of this vaccine, as there are now three vaccines that will be available to americans in the coming months as this pandemic continues to rage in the country. arlette saenz, cnn, traveling with the president in wilmington, delaware. dr. abuagu is the principal investigator of the pfizer vaccine trial. he is a professor at yale university. doctor, a pleasure to have you on. you have worked on the pfizer vaccine, but on saturday it was interesting. you tweeted fulsome praise for the johnson & johnson authorization and pointed out the positives of the vaccine. just one line, i don't said, works great anh is huge. i guess this is obviously a situation where it's not a competition, they're all important, right? >> that is exactly correct. so again, this is just a welcome addition to our arsenal of really highly effective and safe vaccines. you know, due to the demand for these vaccines, both in united states and globally, every vaccine that's authorized is a welcome addition. obviously the j&j vaccine has the advantage of being a single-dose vaccine, so i can easily see them high-fiving and celebrating how much easier it is to deliver, stored at fridge temperatures as well. the fact that these vaccines prevent severe and critical illnesses and deaths to a high degree is really, really excellent. >> tested with the south african variant, too. so that's also a plus for it. i wanted to ask you about kids. that's something that's been in the news. pharmaceutical companies are moving forward with a trial enrollment for kids, mainly 12 to 17, i believe. but the american academy of pediatrics, 67,000 members, they wrote to the biden administration asking it to use every measure available to increase enrollment of children of all ages in clinical trials. do you support that, and why is it important? >> absolutely, michael. you know, there's really no achieving herd immunity without vaccinating children. at least 22% or so of the u.s. population is below the age of 18. so that's a critical demographic to also include in studies. i do recognize that children tend not to have some of the more worse outcomes such as death from covid-19, such that they haven't quite made it to the priority groups. but we know children can become ill, can be vectors of transmission of the virus. and children with comorbidities including cancers and lung conditions could be at higher risk of having covid complications. it's really important for both their own personal benefit as well as public health benefit, including trying to get to the end of this pandemic, trying to include children of all ages in the vaccines. it's not uncommon that vaccines are tested first in adults and then de-escalated to children. and that's currently progressing. >> i guess what would the trials be looking for? as you say, the -- most children don't have to it the severity of adults. what were the trials be looking for in determining whether a covid vaccine for kids works in the same way? >> yes, so of course it would be the real two big things which are making sure that a vaccine is safe for children, so be very careful monitoring of side effects. there's been talk about, for example, using lower doses of the vaccine in children, as we did observe in the adults. that is, that older individuals tend to have less side effects and younger have more mature reactions to the virus. also efficacy. efficacy with regards to its ability to protect against getting sick from the virus, but also carrying the virus. >> that academy of pediatrics letter said at the current pace of things -- this might not be right, but they said there might not be a vaccine approved for children under 12 until next year. what would be the impact of that time frame, both in terms of schools getting back to normal, also the virus spread? >> yes, so -- well, i will say that there's evidence that if schools take the proper precautions, they can definitely mitigate the risk of transmissions in schools which is great. yes, vaccination will play a critical role for opening schools safely and resume some form of normalcy. it's hard to be too optimistic for the reopening of schools in the fall, because most of the studies are looking at children aged 12 years and above. and the studies for younger children age 11 and below would really start roughly around summer, and with results probably in early fall. so i think there's a lot of effort towards trying to speed up those trials. but it appears that it will take some time still. >> a great pleasure to talk to you, doctor. thank you so much, appreciate your time. president joe biden calling on u.s. senators to quickly pass his sweeping coronavirus relief bill, meanwhile. house members approved the legislation early saturday morning. all but two democrats supporting the nearly $2 trillion measure. no republicans voting for it. after the vote, the president said the u.s. is one step closer to helping americans in need, but the senate must move fast. >> we have no time to waste. if we act now decisively, quickly, and boldly, we can finally get ahead of this virus, we can finally get our economy moving again. the people of this country have suffered far too much for too long. we need to relieve that suffering. the american rescue plan relieves the suffering and it's time to act. a show of support for former u.s. president donald trump ahead of his return to the political

political spotlight on sunday with his first speech since leaving the white house. he's scheduled to speak at the conservative political action conference in florida. sources say trump is focused on helping republicans regain control of congress and the white house. jim acosta setting the stage for us for trump's appearance. >> reporter: even though donald trump is a defeated ex-president, this is a trump lovefest at cpac. when you walk around the corridors of cpac and talk to people inside this conference, you run into trump world figures like long-time adviser to the former president, roger stone. we caught up with former secretary of state mike pompeo, trying to ask if he stands by the statement he made after the election that there would be a continuation or transition to another trump presidency. he declined to talk to us. all day long you'll see speaker after speaker making the case that the future of the republican party depends on donald trump. here's one example earlier in the day. >> the most popular republican figure in congress today is kevin mccarthy. [ cheers and applause ] let me tell you who the least popular republicans in the party are today. they're those few, very few -- >> there's tittering out there. i want y tw republicans, the least popular in our party are the ones who want to erase donald trump and donald trump supporters from our party. >> right. >> let me tell you, if that happens, we won't win back the majority in 2022. we definitely won't win back the white house in 2024 if we erase donald trump. you have a leader right here, i'm a conservative leader, and you and i both know for decades the conservative leader fights with the republican leader. not anymore because kevin mccarthy is the right leader for the right time. >> reporter: when you ask them whether or not donald trump lost the election or whether he had anything to do with the violence that took place on january 6th at the capitol, you are often met with hostility, irate attendees who don't want to take those kind questions. as for the former president, as he's preparing for this speech, he's at mar-a-lago meeting with former advisers. tonight he is having dinner with his former acting director of national intelligence, rick rinell. trump allies have been warming up the crowd at the conference for him, including former white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders, candidate for governor of arkansas. here's some of what she had to say about her former boss. >> i have so many great memories, and certainly he's one of the most engaging, charismatic people i've ever encountered. i've really never met anyone like him. and people got to see that on stage. but one of the things that they didn't get to see about this president is what a big heart he had. he had a million reasons to be focused on anything but me. as we were walking in he stopped and he grabbed me and he said, sarah, he looked me in the eye. and he said, do not let them get you down. the only reason they attack you is because you're good at your job. he said, you get out there -- [ cheers and applause ] he said, you get out there, you're smart, you're beautiful, and then he used a few colorful words which i won't repeat because my 8-year-old daughter is here. and he said, but you don't let those haters get after you. >> joining me is tara setmayer, resident scholar at university of virginia center for politics and senior adviser for the lincoln project. great to see you, thanks for being with us. let's taub cpac. we've seen a 6-foot golden statue of trump being wheeled through the conference. but there has already been at the conference a worshipping of if not an idol, the actual donald trump. what do you expect him to tell the faithful? >> i think it's going to be a rehash of his twitter feed the last few months. he's been unable to express himself through his favorite medium on social media, so this is his coming-out party. it's going to feel like one long twitter thread. i have to say that the country is exhausted. you know, the fact that the republicans are allowing donald trump to continue to be the head of the party after being a twice-impeached, failed president, is just really remarkable. i don't think we've ever seen anything like it. >> you took the words out of my mouth. i was just about to say, one-term president, lost the house, lost the senate, lost the white house, lost the popular vote twice, twice impeached. so why this continued f d fealt a man who's repeatedly lost? >> it's a really strange phenomenon. i think there will be many volumes written about this historically. it resembles a cult. i've been saying this for years. the personality cult that donald trump built over the last few years is unlike anything we've ever seen in politics. and republican leaders who know better -- the mccarthys, the mcconnells, the lindsey grahams, ted cruz, josh hawley -- they know donald trump is a menace, however, they continue to pledge fealty because if you look at polls, the republican base is still incredibly loyal to donald trump. more loyal to trump than they are to the republican party. and they recognize this. when you're an elected official, your single goal is to be re-elected or else you lose power. they're continuing to sell their souls because they want to stay in power to placate a base that is a cult-like following of donald trump. >> now it's interesting you mention the base. it is loud, it is passionate, but isn't it fair to say that core trump base in a purely numerical sense isn't enough to win elections? it might swing a republican party, but is trumpism big enough to win actual seats? especially as a lot of moderate republicans turn away from the party. >> i think it depends which seats, right? if we're talking national elections, the presidency, absolutely not. when you're talking about congressional districts, possibly. we've already seen some pretty far right-wing members get elected. qanon conspiracy theorists and kooks have gotten elected, from marjorie taylor greene to lauren b bowgert and others. because of injury man derring there are red districts where those folks can get elected. nationally, no. the republican party will be marginalized as a right-wing extremist party, which is a shame, it was the party of lincoln, the party i worked for and helped get people elected for 20 years, and decided to walk away from after the election when i saw donald trump and republicans enabling him, undermining our free and fair elections. that is at the heart and soul of our democracy and he attacked that. and the republicans allowed him to do it. and then we have the insurrection on january 6th that literally cost lives. and republicans had every opportunity to off-ramp with donald trump, and they still chose fealty to him, despise january 6th, a deadly insurrection on our capitol. it's shameful, frankly. >> and you know, it really is -- it's clear from what we've heard that a good-size portion of this party publicly is okay with an insurrection, that still believes the lie the election was stolen. i'm curious. you love your party. it's not the party of reagan and lincoln anymore. has the extremist wing in the gop grown too big for the party to realistically confront, and by refusing to confront, are they normalizing and strengthening that element, and what's the danger of that? >> the danger of that, i'll start with that first what we saw january 6th. it's whipping up and fomenting a crowd of people to basically commit a chanting things like "hang the vice president." we've never seen anything like that. it's very dangerous, that type of rhetoric. it's what ann apple baum, the writer, describes as the seduction -- the seductive lore of authoritarianism. that's the danger, because these people are no longer espousing the principles of democracy or liberal democracy, they've become some type of illiberal authoritarianism. that's dangerous. so the party has decided to go this way. they've completely abandoned all the principles that used to define the republican party, which is why i walked away from it. it's very difficult. negative partisanship is a powerful tool, and that's all we've seen for the last decade or so from republicans. they're really not interested in governing. they're just interested in being a party of no and a party of extremism, apparently a party of sedition. that is unsustainable. >> always a pleasure to get you on, tara setmayer, thanks so much. >> thank you. a second former aide to new york governor andrew cuomo is accusing him of sexual harassment. that's according to the "new york times." the former executive assistant and health policy adviser for cuomo claims among other things the governor asked about her sex life and if she'd ever had sex with older men. she says this happened late last spring. in a statement on saturday, cuomo denied the allegations, saying he had requested an outside review of the matter. cuomo also denies similar allegations by another former aide. she describes her interactions with the governor in a post on the medium platform. a vicious and ugly impact of the pandemic, hate crimes against asian-americans have surged with the virus. after the break, we'll tell you how new yorkers are pushing to stop it. and the pandemic has also exposed how some seniors in canada have been mistreated for years. we're hearing stories of people wasting away, hungry and in pain. keeping your oysters business growing has you swamped. you need to hire. i need indeed indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a shortlist of quality candidates from a resume data base claim your seventy-five-dollar credit when you post your first job at indeed.com/promo this looks different. it is. epic hi-res photos. and 8k video, cinema quality. this is different. told you. ♪ hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play ♪ ♪ hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid ♪ ♪ and all that glitters is gold ♪ get 5 boneless wings for $1 with any handcrafted burger. only at applebee's. with any handcrafted burger. visible is wireless that doesn't play games. no surprise fees, legit unlimited data for as little as $25 a month. and the best part, it's powered by verizon. but it gets crazier. bring a friend every month and get every month for $5. which is why i brought them. two $5-a-months right here. hey. hey. plus the players of my squad. hey. what's up?

holmes. you're watching "cnn newsroom." as the pandemic has surged across the u.s., so too have vicious attacks against asian-americans. many people of asian descent say they are afraid for their lives. it's gotten to the point where groups are demanding local leaders do something about it. cnn's jane casarez with more from new york. >> reporter: there has been a very large turnout at this rally, which is combating the increase in anti-asian crime here in new york city. there have been many notables here. the attorney general of new york, laticia james, said that if there is crime against an asian-american, that it is crime and it is against all of us. senate majority leader chuck schumer also spoke here as well as mayor bill de blasio. and the statistics cannot be ignored. nypd is saying in 2020, there were 29 crimes against asian-americans. and in 2019, there were 3. thursday night right here, and we're close to chinatown here where the courthouse complexes are -- there was an asian man, and he was walking, surveillance video caught it because surveillance video is catching a lot of these things now. he was stabbed in the torso from the rear. he is now in critical condition. the assailant was caught, allegedly, three hours later. he is currently in custody. but the following night, friday night, in brooklyn, there were four asian-american males that were all stabbed. one is now deceased. two others had severe stab wounds. and one had puncture wounds. the people that i've talked to here that live in this community say they are afraid. >> i walk out the door and i brace myself. i prepare myself. and just -- i make sure -- i no longer listen to music when i'm walking around. i no longer listen to podcasts or am distracted in any way. i want to make sure i pay attention to whatever might be happening around me. that's where i am right now. >> many family members are living in fear and anxiety, you know. the attack just a couple of nights ago, a man stabbed in the back randomly, you know? this is not a way to live, you know, to walk with our backs against the walls, always in fear. you know, something must be done, and we're going to look to our elected officials, you know, our government, and really society at large, to understand and recognize this problem and do something about it. >> reporter: crimes against asian-americans are not only rising here in new york city, but all across the country. notably chinatown and san francisco. the new york city police department asian crime task force is saying that this is a priority for them. crimes in new york are going up in general, but they say that their focus in that task force is to protect the asian-americans who are the vulnerable. jean casarez, cnn, new york city. former u.s. presidential candidate andrew yang told cnn that while he has not personally been a victim of any attacks, the feeling of fear is very real. >> this is a heartbreaking and devastating time for so many people in the asian-american community. i talked to the family of one of the victims this week, and there's just so much pain and confusion and desire to feel safe. >> yang, currently running for new york city mayor, said many of these crimes against asian-americans go unreported. let's take a quick look at the state of the pandemic outside the u.s. new zealand now has auckland, its largest city, under a seven-day lockdown after finding two new local cases of unknown origin. residents will be allowed to leave home only for essential work and shopping. irish police say they've arrested about two dozen anti-lockdown protesters after violent clashes in dublin. the gathering was in total violation of public health measures. in england the government trying to get children back to school safely. every household with children old enough to go to school will get two rapid covid tests per person per week. classrooms are set to reopen on march the 8th. and france may have to deal with a major mental health crisis on top of the virus. the country has been under lockdown on and off for nearly a year now and it is taking a huge toll, especially on students. cnn's melissa bell reports. >> reporter: for 23-year-old yasmina, it was last autumn her dream of studying in paris hit the reality of the pandemic. >> translator: i was starting my studies thinking i'm going to arrive, make friends, join lots of student societies, try lots of activities. then boom, i'm stuck in a house all alone between its four walls. >> reporter: yasmine took up painting instead but the pandemic has cost her her peace of mind. before, she was able to teach arabic classes to make ends meet. >> translator: in the end the two difficult things to deal with are the financial side, then the psychological side. so for the financial side, there is help from authorities, from associations. there are food distributions. for the psychological side, we're really on our own. >> reporter: after nearly a year of lockdowns and restrictions, french authorities are warning of a third wave. not of covid, but of mental health issues, including among the country's more than 1.5 million university students. a recent poll carried out by a mental health charity amongst 18 to 24-year-olds in france showed 3 of 10 had considered suicide or self-harming. >> you're building your life, you want to become this, you want to do that. then boom, you can not do anything, you're stuck. we have to let them know that right now we're in the middle of the storm. but we have still to visualize where we want to go. otherwise we're going to be stuck in the storm with no vision that creates despair. >> reporter: but despair is not necessarily the only difficulty. for some, the time of their lives, meant to be the most footloose and fancy free, has become a matter of survival. the line here is for a food bank set up in the heart of paris by students who realize some of their classmates were not longer able to eat. >> translator: we are the sacrifice generation. not only can we not have a social life or go to class or get a great quality education. on top of that, we find ourselves in this extremely precarious situation. >> reporter: many students who had been able to turn to their parents in time of need could no longer do so. their parents too, he says, have lost their jobs. the students coming in here aren't just offered food, but also psychological support. this food distribution center can help 500 students each week. but the organizers say that the demand is at least ten times that. a devastating story out of canada now. the horrible treatment of seniors only made worse by the pandemic. in some cases, in some care homes they were basically left to die, starving so bad that the prime minister had to call the troops in to help. cnn's paula newton met with families who have lost loved ones, and they want answers. >> reporter: for days and weeks and even now, covid-19 has mercilessly killed thousands of canadian seniors living in long-term care homes. at one point, as seen here, even the military was called in to help. many families say it wasn't just the virus, it was gross negligence by the nursing homes and governments that regulated them. >> it was quite shocking to see that that was happening. there were -- for several days people could not get ahold of their loved ones. >> reporter: nadya's grandfather rodrigue died of coadvice in montreal. dozens of others died there as well as nursing home employees, overwhelmed and understaffed, were on their own because the government banned all visitors, even family, as the virus was spreading. >> i regret those last days. that to me is something that we were robbed. particularly in the first wave. where we were not allowed to see our loved ones. and our loved ones died alone. >> reporter: hilda did not die of covid 19, but she suffered just the same, her family says. 102 years old, living with dementia, an in-room camera placed there by her family painfully documents how she wasted away. unable to feed herself, too weak to hold a glass of water, and her family says staff was seemingly too swamped to notice. >> i was looking to hi mother through the camera. she was breathing so heavily. and she was -- you could see she was in pain. >> how upsetting is it for you to know that your mother essentially starved to death? >> it was heartbreaking for me to know that i wasn't there and that -- the last six weeks of her life, she starved. nobody was there to comfort her, to explain to her. that was the most heartbreaking for me. and to think that she really felt abandoned. that's for sure. >> reporter: government investigations, some still ongoing, found dramatic staff shortages left residents neglected and without adequate medical attention. the situation at so many of these care hopes was so grave, canada called in troops in the spring of last year to help with what was becoming a humanitarian disaster. prime minister justin trudeau called it a national tragedy. >> in canada, we shouldn't have soldiers taking care of seniors. >> reporter: yet what the soldiers said they found shocked many. a scathing report detailed chronically understaffed facilities with little protective equipment, rotten food, and the elderly bewildered and neglected. >> multiple people did not receive even the most basic care, including help to feed themselves or to drink and many people died as a result of that. and that decision of the government, to prevent family caregivers from going in, to not provide for adequate personnel to provide even the most basic care, that decision is completely unforgivable. >> nothing is going to bring back their loved ones, but what do they hope will happen now? >> i think we have to take a very long look at ourselves. collectively. and think about the way that we have treated our elderly population, just during the pandemic but the past 10, 20, 30 years. >> reporter: families continue to speak up. government leaders now vowing to change the way seniors are cared for, acknowledging that this pandemic has laid bare a system that families say was inhumane. nicole says it's what her mother would want of her. >> i hold her hand. her hands were so cold. and i was warming her hands. and she squeezed my hand for three times. and this was such a -- such a moving moment for me. and i told her, you know, mommy, i didn't abandon you, i'm doing my best to be with you. >> reporter: i asked nadya if it bothered her that her grandfather's last days weren't what he deserved. >> my emotions -- that's not why i'm doing this. that's not what it's about for me. it's to give a voice for those who didn't have one. whose voices weren't heard. so you
