the u.s. food and drug administration approved it on friday science and data guided the f.d.a. decision we worked quickly based on the urgency of this pandemic not because of any other extra no pressure that external pressure came from president trump who on friday tweeted to han to quote get the damn vaccines out now trump on saturday called it a victory our nation has achieved a medical miracle we have delivered a safe and effective vaccine in just 9 months the vaccine has shown to be 95 percent effective in preventing covert 1000 transmission but it must be stored at all true cold temperatures the road to immunity across the u.s. is likely to be paved with pain and tragedy the head of the u.s. centers for disease control says over the next $60.00 to $90.00 days some $3000.00 americans that's more than were killed in the $911.00 attacks will die each day of covert 19 then there are the conspiracy theorists and skeptics who say they will

a much more difficult vaccine to distribute and get into people's arms but we know how to do it. you know this nation has. an amazing vaccine program and if we just deal with the technology of getting this cold vaccine into into communities then we'll be able to vaccinate all the people that want to have me vaccinated i think what we do know is that this particular vaccine protects you from getting very sick and in most people getting sick at all what we don't know yet even though studies are ongoing is how much it also protects you from test missing this disease to other people and how long it lasts how long that protection last may be like a lot of that seems you know every 10 years you have to get a tetanus shot because the immunity wanes on that shot but we just don't know yet but we will over the. south korea has reported a 2nd day of record high corona virus infections more than
