civilian bosses and we can double it to $6000000.00 a day what we are afraid of is the supply early on will not have enough and for pfizer vaccine not everybody can handle the vaccine it will out right 1st the hospitals that have the capacity to store it and deliver it i'm wondering though you know obviously it's going to be the most at risk people who get the vaccine for some show about be contacted but what about the just normal every day people in the u.s. i mean do you have to have insurance do you contact your doctor i mean how will that . so that's he would be given free for everybody in the united states and we have faced all of that i've seen 1st term because people are sick and nursing homes and people are taking care of people in prisons essential workers who need to go out and about. the nation so you don't put somebody like me has to wait for me to get them back see how long will it take for the u.s. to have enough of the vaccine to inoculate the necessary number of people to

achieve herd immunity. the united states has a lot and secure about 800000000 doses of vaccine so we're expecting that to start coming out soon and we expect some of those maybe oh by may june everybody who needs a vaccine in the united states should be able to get it of course a vaccine doesn't help people unless they are vaccinated and not everyone is sold on getting the vaccine how do you begin to change that perception encourage people that this is safe. you're very good about that says don't say that life it's a vaccination and a vaccine is sitting in a fish bait or it doesn't matter how effective and clinical trial is not going to help us the way to do it is we need to build confidence in the vaccine domenica everywhere and go on so of course medical doctors because professionals need to roll up their sleeves and they've seen leadership here and the people who are at

all in day in day to night at stake should shoulder public that we are only about seeing it say also look we need to monitor all of the and we need to have a good communication plan to the american people what's going on and where you can find the passy what is the monitoring system like once the rollout happens i don't talk about the u.k. a lot it's just the 1st western nation so we have that experience already but the u.k. had had 2 people i think it was get a legit reactions very very quickly after that the advice changed about who should be getting the vaccine so does the monitoring system in the us have the same sort of speed do you think exactly so in their works eventually be deported and then be a public message that will go to everybody expression who are delivering about see what's happening and of course everybody who has a medical condition we find out and they pay for example it's allergy anybody who has a medical condition should be referred to the physician and they should work has

explode. but for the 1st time senior officials are being charged. the caretaker prime minister has found here along with 3 former ministers are accused of negligence deb says his conscience is clear and that he has no intention of being questioned again he's now the 1st prime minister in lebanon's history to be charged. dad was forced to resign days after the blast but later returned as caretaker he was only in power for a few months when the explosion happened that's why some are questioning the judicial decision that the state is protecting itself and the clearest indicates your tooth out is with that accusation caught in foreign minister they also accused 3 previous transportation ministers a lot of articulate sponsible for the pork but faded to accuse the 3 previous prime
