Different as republican senators voted to acquit last time. Ben sass is squarely placing the blame on trump for the deadly capitol riot. As republicans like sass and Marjorie Taylor greene struggle for the partys identity after trump. Politics isnt about the weird worship of one dude. The party is his. It doesnt belong to anybody else. Were going to first begin our coverage with msnbc news correspondent kristen welker. Thank you for joining us. Lets talk about that jobs report not necessarily looking good the first month of january here. How is the president going to use this when it comes to his major Stimulus Bill . Hi, great to see you. Well, what we heard from President Biden today was essentially his strongest push yet for the passage of his covid19 relief bill. We saw him say in some of the strongest terms that he is prepared to go it alone without republicans signing on to his bill. Of course, he has always said yes, he wants bipartisan support but it seems increasingly likely t
if you get that third immunization, and i stress it s critical that you get that third immunization to get that big rise in virus neutralizing antibiotics, you re looking at a 70 to 75% effectiveness from symptomatic illness, so not as good as it was versus the delta variant, and then one last piece is we have some additional data out of germany showing that that rate of protection may decline pretty quickly after you get the third dose versus omicron because you re getting a drop in virus neutralizing antibodies, so this is going to be a pretty hellish winter, i m sorry to say, based on people refuse to go get vaccinated and the fact that now we re going to have this mixed infection of omicron and delta. and a terrible tragedy for the health care workers who are climbing this peak again. miguel introduced a woman in his story, a nurse there who went home and had to hide from her children because she cried at the end of these days, going up that mountain as we saw the cases grow, hos
people say, i had it so i m immune. i m like, really? we have now studies from the centers for disease control showing that if you re vaccinated on top of getting infection and recovery, you have a twofold less likely risk of getting reinfected, so we have a study from kentucky. we have another study on top of that, so the key is if you ve been infected and recovered, you have unknown levels of immunity to reinfection. some people develop really robust virus neutralizing responses and t-cell responses and they re going to be protected almost as well as an individual who was vaccinated. but others have very low levels of virus neutralizing antibody and inadequate cellular immune responses and they re highly vulnerable. if you re infected and recovered and on top of that get vaccinated, you have robust and durable protection and you seem to be more resilient against future variants as well. so we ve got to get that message across that we re going to see a
go ahead,. mixing and matching, the one thing that came out with one of the studies, today that was published in the mid archive, is it showed possibly that if you got the j&j vaccine, the amount of virus neutralizing in a body with the second dose of j&j was lower, compared to either the 2 am and our vaccines, and you re seeing a lot of press saying that it s not as good as getting an eminent are a s a boost. i had pushback on that a little bit, because the way it, it was a small study number one, and secondly, the way these virus vector vaccines, work like the j&j vaccine, the amount of antibody tends to go up over time. and they stop that study it looked like after 29 days. where is in the early studies, you could show that it started to really go up after 30 40 50 even 70 days. so i think we have to correct
always look at the data early on from the phase one and phase two data, i thought that was the two-dose vaccine, as well. listen, this is the last question. i hear people and it just disturbs me because i want people to be informed when they say this is this vaccine is new and whatever. the mrna technology is not a tu n new technology, right? this has been worked on for awhile. the covid-19 vaccine, right, because it s novel is a novel virus, it s new but the technology through which this was developed is not something that was developed overnight. there is two pieces to this. first of all, we ve been working on coronavirus vaccines for over a decade. in our group and others, we re able to determine that the spike protein is the target, the appropriate target of the vaccine. how you deliver the spike protein, how you induce virus neutralizing antibodies so off the bat, that s a decade of research that went into this, which is a time frame that goes
