this is rick mama, my elvis luxury, the mother of the adventures off of a car and led to africa direct on al jazeera. ah, i know about a cylinder hold. the top stories on al jazeera, ukrainian officials say almost 40 people have been killed in a russian rocket strike on a train station. east ukraine, as an evacuation effort was under way at the time of the attack. more than a 100 people are wounded. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski is described russia as an evil with no limits after the attack, but done yes, separatists. so the incident is a ukrainian provocation. this is an ordinary re weigh terminal crowded with people waiting for trains to be evacuated, the safer areas they hit these people,
3:01 pm
there were witnesses, there were videos, there were remnants of the missiles and dead people about 30 killed and 300 wounded . as of this moment, again, this is just an ordinary railway station, just an ordinary town in the east of ukraine. this is how russia came to protect the dumbass region. how they viewed the protection of the russian speaking population from khaki. vasa, beg reports that those now and even greater urgency for those wishing to escape from eastern ukraine. people are still wanting to leave because the fear is that the russia is mounting or getting ready for a new offense in the east of the country. will be a part of that, that's the way they will be concentrating. so it is a very, very tragic scene that we're seeing lots of pictures and video that we've been seeing. but those people still want to leave the advice from the government. the officials have been to leave the area to stay for parts of the country with dosage
3:02 pm
. a bar is in moscow and she says the russians are pointing the finger right back at the ukrainians. according to the russian defense ministry. and this is a provocative action from the ukrainian military, and they are rejecting any claims that they had anything to do with this attack. according to defense ministry officials here as they have found fragments of touch screen, you missiles near the train station where the attack took place. and they say that this is a type of missile that is being used by the cranium military. and it's not the 1st time that has been used in this area. according to officials, there was an attack on march 14th in the region in eastern ukraine, russian father, mississippi, la, rob says their aims are the protection of people in east to train for a new nation. the reason that we've informed our friends about the special military operation and protecting the population of dumbass don yet sc and new hampshire. and the demilitarization of ukraine in the context of security guarantees. and
3:03 pm
showing that ukraine will not be joining any military blocks regarding presidents warning that the scale of kennings in. but a junker is much worse than a nearby boucher where at least 300 people are known to have been killed. not me as an in sky says that are even more victims in the time northwest of keith you are being commission president. ursula on the line is traveling to keith. she's gonna hold talks with vladimir zalinski, the visits coming amid mounting international outrage over alleged atrocities in ukraine. as jose prime ministers put security forces on maximum alert after a palestinian gunman killed 2 people in tel aviv authorities of also close or crossing it to be occupied westbank in response to the shooting. incidents being condemned by palestinian president mahmoud abbas otto. the humming has more from tel aviv a lot of people are not only shocked by, by the fact that this gunmen could come here in the height of delivery,
3:04 pm
one of the busiest streets specially on a weekend. and then it took them 9 hours to catch him. in the meantime, he had gone all the way to jeff. it's only 4 kilometers away from here, but certainly buys really standers were usually a gun man. us would have shot immediately on the spot or they can run away, but very short time. this is a big security labs president joe biden's, his confirmation of america's 1st black female supreme court. justice is a historic moment for the united states. it angie brown. jackson overcame republican opposition. a senators voted $53.00 in favor, $47.00 against the 51 year old becomes the 4th woman of the 9 justices that america's highest court, which has a conservative majority of those of the headlines. the news is going to continue here in alger sierra, after time of pandemic ex. goodbye ah
3:05 pm
. presently we are being confronted by a new series of pathogens that are emerging out of the deep forest. primarily because planet earth is better known now as planet farm animals that are reservoirs for av pathogens are coming up right up against new agriculture spilling over into the livestock. and then from there, spreading out onto the global travel
3:06 pm
science is in the middle of a political battle. what direction are we going to continue to conduct our civilization? are we going to continue on this pathway? or are we going to choose a different path? in the path that the lends itself to have a better balance between our right to be here on the planet and survive. and the animals and landscape upon which we depend in order to do that. human societies have long faced the threats with disease. despite so many breakthroughs in modern medicine, we find ourselves living under the shadow of pandemic that we struggled to contain . we have destroyed our by that we have
3:07 pm
harmed the plan and the planet. will he sell at our expense at the expense of these global marketers? it's just an inevitable. the worries that there's no handle, this thing is going to be a force all of its own. southern africa i saw recently live series, the worst impacts of the h. i. v. pandemic. millions of people have died. millions of lives have been turned upside down. and then along comes covert and we have another pandemic to
3:08 pm
tackle on top of h r v the h i v experience taught us a lot about science, vaccines and healthy justice. but when it comes to cove dine t did the world learn anything from us? ah, before i became a filmmaker, i worked in h. i v. prevention back then. hard lessons were learned. not just in south africa, but globally. we learned the few people suffer and die whether strong commitment to public health and that where this the political will, everyone can have access to the medicine they need. as i said, we learned this the hard way an ugly off to a lot of unnecessary suffering. that is now
3:09 pm
a danger that has become a threat to his old. it is a deadly disease and there is no known cure so far, it's being confined to small groups, but it's spreading. if you ignore aids, it could be the death of me said, don't die of ignorance. many roasts were 1st introduced to h r v. through this kind of messaging, the implication was, if you become infected, you only have yourself to blame bmw the people who are most affected by h r. v was somehow narrowed down to the poor h's. according to the u. s. center for disease control in the 1980s. these were homosexuals, patient parent alex, and whom are fully or
3:10 pm
we were told the virus originated and ask the monkey, which we now know to be true. with the lack of information about how the virus jumped from one species to another, led to some pretty offensive conclusions, and stoked the blame game to the emerging health crisis. good, perfect, the subject matter is so obscene, so remoting until we are ready to discourage and do our dear level best to eliminate the types of activities which have caused the spread of the aid lever them regard. normally wherever, going to solving 1978 representatives of 134 countries, 67 international organizations. and i've also asked h h s to add the aids virus to the list of contagious diseases, for which emigrants and alien seeking permanent residents in the united states can be denied entry. ah
3:11 pm
you so when you ask, what does h i the pause aids questioning does a virus cause and syndrome? how does a virus cause a syndrome? it's gone. ah, the 19 ninety's and becky had argued against the science and was deeply skeptical of anti retroviral drugs. well enough, again, his argument was that h r v was part of a continuing conspiracy against africans. treatment of aids was declared, they're impossible of impractical and not cost effective. dod, i'm blue and hidden deep, the nihilism and blame. he was so adamant about her
3:12 pm
toxic antiretrovirals were that it almost seemed that he would do anything in his power never to allow them to be used in south africa. yet more children have been infected with h of in south africa over this today. conference then will be infected in other, the united kingdom or the us in the whole of this year. and i think that's an important and frustration was ronnie. hi, because richard nations had the access to the new drugs developed to treat h r v. but not south africa. not unless you had lots of money that is, for most of us, h r v infection was a death sentence. we had to fight medical schools really hard around the exclusion that they had about which person was considered innocent enough to access a r v. as those were regarded as nurses who had needle stick injuries,
3:13 pm
somebody who was raped could access our means, but not somebody who was gay. that somebody who had consensual sex and men became h. i v positive. those are really difficult in dock times. and i think as a young lawyer activist, it really opened my eyes. the face of us dog does doesn't lie with science. the failure of not treating a chevy lies and in the political will of all a government to treat decisions it was a difficult time. it to the power of the people through the treatment action campaign to make a our re treatment the reality. we demanding a not a square to our last dominion
3:14 pm
as well as problem. becky tried to deny the existence of treatment action campaign put up the entire miserable effect of aids. right in the space is devastating from maloof and community or wyoming and depleting, health care services. and robin school. oh, you're good and featured in the course of a few years, the treatment action campaign i did by former president nelson mandela, ensure that this is she was firmly placed on the international agenda. as the lead is of the global health response president george bush onset by championing their charitable efforts for doctrine rural south africa describes his
3:15 pm
frustration. he says we have no medicines, many hospitals tell people you've got age. we can't help you go home and die in an age or miraculous medicines, no person should have to hear those words. the programs be headed by doctor antony found she. it benefited from the decision, one of the major companies to drop that peyton's voluntarily. this led to drugs being made available at a fraction of the price, but just for the developing world. for millions around the globe, the aid came too late. in south africa alone, we currently have 9000000 people. who are h i v positive law twin in edwin villa.
3:16 pm
3:17 pm
of the this by having one of the largest intuitive article programs in the world. we still have not been able to control a chevy transmission so just in terms of what we've done, and so i turned my attention to working in a chevy vaccine research so that we could find effective ways to prevent transmission. i'm so glad that you've chosen to participate in the study. thank you for contributing to finding solutions personally for myself at home. linda or my whole family is again, very emotional when i'm talking about h, i b was my mother, my father, my uncle's, everyone. so we suffered a lot when i lost my parents, of course, for the ha, how do you?
3:18 pm
oh, has helped me with was one of 12. we had to go to go live with people. yes, we got big food from people because of h i v. i understand if my mother was still alive, my parents until i my life and have chain. so h o v is i don't know how to explain. i'm very scared of a high res, so that's why i will is what, when i try to something those can i help in the future for this a pay it has to be prevented. glenda gray is leading an international collaboration to find an h i. v vaccine spearheaded by the h i v vaccine trout network. larry curry heads up this vast organization that is publicly funded for the us government.
3:19 pm
vaccines had been left to the development by pharmaceutical companies. bailey essence, with the side, what vaccines they were going to investigate. and the reality is, is that that often is a balance between their perceived market and societal need. in h hifi, it was a huge the sale the need. there is an enormous amount of infection in the underdeveloped world and the non pharmaceutical market will so you saw very rapid dropout rapid dis, investment one really needed to provide the clinical infrastructure to do the clinical trial. this is the most expensive part of doing drug development,
3:20 pm
and we are going to, as a society, create an infrastructure i'm learning about the wonder of antibody mediated prevention. a clinical trial with the most beautiful cutting edge vaccine signs. it is taken decades to develop something that targets h o. v's unique ability to evade a traditional vaccine. it feels like we're on the cusp of something really big here. the reason we call it number one of your seo. why was the 1st potent antibody that we were able to obtain from
3:21 pm
one of the volunteers turned out to be an individual who was in clinical trials volunteering at an age donated his blood. and the serum had these tremendously potent antibodies against the virus. he was happy to volunteer and he knew that we isolated the satellite from the time and when that was done, several apps found and were actually able to make in the lab protein the anybody protein that was able to kill block h i v very potent where recommends using those in the am study, we're not giving a vaccine, we're actually giving the antibody protein itself. if a person and individual had those air bodies before they were actually exposed, it could be completely prevented from infection. so are almost, i'm taking a step beyond a vaccine or skipping
3:22 pm
a step and actually giving the body the immune proteins itself. the humanness of this, that someone who has h i v infection could actually provide someone who doesn't have h, i v infection to actually prevent them from getting which idea what a wonderful story, what a, what a while, no fall example of biology. the genesis of this undertaking started on a napkin on the 19th floor of this hotel. we sit down and sort of draw down a napkin like how would we test this was end up being a pretty massive undertaking. global pandemic sneak global effort more so when you're dealing with viruses that are rapidly mutating. the reason we know what we know today's because scientists have
3:23 pm
cooperated across many countries patropolis we've been moving increasingly in the direction of research becoming a private affair. determined by competition. and exclusivity the big take out from h r. v was the only massive investment into public health and sharing research could contain a deadly pandemic. in 2020, this put us in a prime position to collaborate in numerous international coverage. vaccine trials with to have been involved in a whole lot of covet vaccine opportunities in terms of thing technically said. and we need to make sure that even though we do these trials, we have to make sure that we have access to make sure they found to be
3:24 pm
cases with them. so they get better. hey, just make it. yeah. i. so we have to be committed to the end game. yeah. and the end game is an affordable intervention for the poor. that feels like a festival. when we started with h i v, it was very difficult to isolate an antibody from a person in 20192020. we can do that in a matter of weeks, and we can do it 10 times, 100 times faster and more efficiently. we have isolated antibodies from cove,
3:25 pm
it infected people by the hundreds in a few weeks. i think of h, i v a little bit like the nasa space program it, it brought to bear all kinds of technologies that are bearing fruit in other areas . and one of those areas is emerging viruses like kogan, the biotech firm, modernity therapeutics announced this morning that the 1st 8 participants in the 1st phase of its covey. 19 vaccine trial develops some antibodies after just one single dose. now that's a promising sign from the trial, done in collaboration with the national institutes of health nations, with vaccine producing capacity, pulled billions into the development of cove with vaccines in return for funding the manufacture of vaccines participating drug companies like maternity were given full intellectual property rights over the finished product,
3:26 pm
government have essentially stacked into the risk investment. and it an ideal world . public money should be greater public access. tens of thousands of volunteers signed up to participate in clinical trials. i to joined one of the trials in the beliefs of my country would gain access to those vaccines. that was successful. ah right now we've got the us get his or baby fort fixing in france from 3 of the leading groups that are developing bricks. yes. so that means our opportunity to gain access to the threat since our regular that as an individual country. this was
3:27 pm
perhaps the 1st sign that things were going astray with south africa's access to vaccines as a middle income country and one so involved in vaccine development. there was no excuse for us not to have pre purchase supplies for our own population. still there would always be kovacs. the kovacs pillar aims to ensure that every country gets fair and equitable access. ringback to eventual coven 19 vaccines. it's not about one country versus another. it's about one world. protected. sitting at the center of infectious disease control is tony found chain. for decades, he's been behind all for key interventions that have prevented outbreaks from
3:28 pm
becoming global pandemic. ebola zacko sauce. you name it, but his life's work. his passion has centered around h. r. v. in excuse that an academic priority should ever ever come before the health of the people that you're working with is the question about that. house's era is here to report on the people often ignored, but who must be heard. how many other channels can you say will take the time and put extensive thought into reporting from under reported areas. of course, we cover major global events, but our past lives and making sure that you're hearing the stories from people in places like how is fine libya, yemen, the sal region, and so many other we go to them, you make the effort, we care, we stake m a think lake near to car attract
3:29 pm
tourists and under pins the local economy. thousands depend on its precious souls. ah, al jazeera well explored the major environmental issues above and below the surface that threatened lake red bus very existence center goals spring plate on al jazeera. ah al jazeera, with all in 2018, a journalist, sledge, 40 days of civic action against the armenian government. i'm president. soc, is younger group on power. i'm going to liberate this, where a new documentary follows his non violent campaign to bring down a corrupt regime. astonishing outcome. weebly. good, a democratic love,
3:30 pm
but i am not alone. amin. yes, velvet revolution on al jazeera. ah, i don't know about this, and i don't have the top stories on al jazeera, ukrainian officials say almost 40 people have been killed in the russian rocket strike. on a train station in east ukraine, they say an evacuation effort was underway at the time of the attack. more than a 100 people are wounded. ukrainian, president of leukemia, zalinski described russia as an evil with no limits after the attack. but jeannette, separatists say the incident is ukrainian provocation. this is an ordinary railway, terminal. crowded with people waiting for trains to be evacuated,
3:31 pm
the safer areas. they hit these people. there are witnesses. there are videos, there are remnants of the missiles and dead people about 30 killed and 300 wounded . as of this moment. again, this is just an ordinary railway station, just an ordinary town in the east of ukraine. this is how russia came to protect the dumbass region, how they viewed the protection of the russian speaking population and dosage of bodies in moscow and says the russians are pointing the finger right back of ukrainians. according to the russian defense ministry. and this is a provocative action from the ukrainian military, and they are rejecting any claims that they had anything to do with this attack. according to defense ministry officials here and they have found fragments of touch screen missiles near the train station where the attack took place. and they say that this is a type of missile that is being used by the cranium military. and it's not the 1st time that has been used in this area. according to officials,
3:32 pm
there was an attack on march 14th in the dance region in eastern ukraine. your hearings, president warning that the scale of killings in but a junkie is much worse than a nearby butcher. but at least 300 people are known to have been killed. letting me, as the landscape says that are even more victims in the time northwest of keys you to be commission president of on the land is traveling to keep. she's going to hold talks with presidents and landscape. the visit comes in a mounting international outrage over alleged atrocities in ukraine. israel is prime ministers put security forces on maximum allowed to after palestinian gunmen killed. 2 people in tel aviv authorities have also closed the crossing into the occupied west bank in response to the shooting. incidents being condemned by palestinian president mahmoud abbas. there was the headlines. the news continues here now does 0 after time of pandemic, se goodbye. awe
3:33 pm
science, vaccines healthy justice. i'm trying to find out if the world learned anything from r h i. v. experienced in south africa. for this time of global coven, 19 human societies have long faced the threats of disease. and despite so many breakthroughs in modern medicine, we find ourselves living under the shadow of pandemic that we struggle to contain the phoenix useful, then an academic priority should ever ever come before the health of the people that you're working with is the question about that. sitting at the center of infectious disease control is tony found she for decades, he's been behind all for key interventions that have prevented outbreaks from becoming global pandemic. a bona zacko sauce. you name it, but his life's work. his passion has centered around h. r. v. want to this,
3:34 pm
wanted to that, wanted you to that wanted to that you have to play are the most successful vaccines or against diseases in which ultimately the immune system clears the virus . so when you do a vaccine, you design it exactly to act like a natural infection. don't want to do that with each id. was, you know, the natural infection. does it reduce the good immune response? so you gotta do better with ha, ha. now managing some lesson hasn't sommerling his attorney madison. hi guys. slow by monday the to me companies
3:35 pm
go appear know a man mother whom wonderful pile. i was on for know 7 is a condo moon being land got when i was so gallivant. oh, tele medicine and then given i know why there was some, some is of a positive for me. i was telling you, boy, hey, good thing we didn't on my in the queue. i known as tucson with a couple years after you got it visit i read an nicotine or i'd say about it. so total perform. wanna know just how much i owe husband is just the st. angelo mckesson sub what day. and it was the kitchen piano, this is the agent that women need. it's the agency. we don't have to worry about applying a chevy because you have something in your body to protect it. as an empowerment tool.
3:36 pm
with the thought in mind that covered an h i v only 2 of the many zonati viruses that have jumped into humans. we need to know why in recent decades, this is happening with increasing occurrence presently were being confronted by a new series of pathogens that are emerging out of the deep force and spilling over into human populations. and that seems to be increasing since the start of the century. there's been some brilliant work done by scientists to illuminate the
3:37 pm
origins of h. i. b. but trees han and her group in 2006, we're able to identify 2 chimp populations in southeastern cameron that were hosting simian immune deficiency viruses that were the closest related to h i. b, one a group of that follow 2 years layer led by michael or a b, were able to put a date on that spill over event. the event happened in 19 o 8 gifford take 20 years on either side of bad what was going on in 19 o 8, in this particular spot in south eastern cameron. it was a period of a colonization, and you had the french and germans attempting to subjugate a local indigenous groups into a new global economy. the login of
3:38 pm
central africa is rain for us, required a large workforce to keep up with the demands for exports from the global north to feed all these workers corporations actually employed paypal mass to hunt down push meet ah they will probably individual jumps of virus from chimps, the humans, because they use it as bush me. a man gets infected. he's out hunting with jim. he gives it to his wife. she gets affected there monogamous. they both get sick. they both die. you don't notice it until you perturbed civilization.
3:39 pm
it could have happened 50 years ago a 100 years ago, 200 years ago. but it happened with the right constellation of perturbing society. people are doing trucking. they stay away from home. just the normal practices of your society, lead to the spread of infectious disease. ah, the same plan, tory lamps can be shifted upon colbert 19 miss
3:40 pm
thorns one emerged in 2002. it came out of bat and central china and a lot of work since then mapped out all the different types of corona viruses crossed central and southern china increase exploitation. the landscape increased the spill over events into all sorts of other species that are suddenly finding themselves being sold at market ah, planted heard is better known now as planet farm. there's a lot of focus on the gps coordinates, the actual spot in which the virus emerged in the focus that was serving as
3:41 pm
a means of green washing the broader global medical economy. that was in fact driving the emergence of these new pathogen. we began to look at what are called circuits of capital, our capital moods on one side of the world to the other. we came to the conclusion that places like london and new york, hong kong which are the centers of capital, are the worst disease hotspots on the planet. in part because as being the source of the capital, driving the deforestation and development from one side of the world to the other, they were serving as the primary causes for the spill over events of pathogens from wildlife into life stuck in humans with . and then one day, a virus jumps from a debt to another animal to be human. and then now it's not sexual practice. we're
3:42 pm
unlucky enough to have a virus that spectacularly efficient in spreading from person to person by the respiratory route. and there's not much you can do about that, but as you guys would do in an effort to locking yourselves into your house, but you can't do that forever. and that's so a respiratory infection spreads every time we have an epidemic that's just an affirmation of our seamless we all have the receptor for the virus and house but the fuel of the viruses density. the fuel virus is close. interpersonal contact. people who live in high density so is disparities have been brought out magnified in all populations throughout the world.
3:43 pm
you got to understand the social determinants of health. you know, in the united states with cove it, we have an extraordinary disparity. where is african americans and latinos, x and asian americans? their infection rate and death rate is enormously higher. ah. so when you broaching a disease, you need to understand if you don't understand that you're not gonna get your arms around the disease. and for many ross, particularly if you're black and poor, he doesn't matter if you are in the global south or living in a wealthy nation, you're hanging on to life by a threat. then these pandemic come along, covered a chart, v and the oats against you to stack up. ah
3:44 pm
ah, how do we manage an epidemic when we have no support for the poor? and we have no support for the sick. and so not only are we going to see people dying from cove at 19 in our country, we're going to see people dying from other diseases like a chevy in t. b. new york state now has more reported corona virus cases than any country in the world. world wide, it's clear. the public healthcare systems are the lost fortress against pandemic
3:45 pm
watts. at burton and in the united states, the pioneer privatization, covert showing have their ladies to come modify the social right to house the u. s. was now prepared for this pandemic. it had in effect, abandoned up public health of the cove at 19 outbreak. show this in open ah clarity. when the trump administration took over, he ended the pandemic preparation. he divested out of public health. that's in part how we've arrived that this apparent clash between science on the one hand in trump, on the other. ah, when i catch up with toby, found she, he remains diplomatic about the deep riffs. took form between him and the then
3:46 pm
president. we were consider the best prepared country for a pin them. but as it turns out, when you get a whopper, light cove it 19, you're never as prepared as you really want to be. so that was the tension that sort of merged into some political divisiveness in the country of 28000000 americans are without insurance, even after obamacare. 24000000 americans are under insured. o swats of the country are in essence disconnected out our of our capacity to intervene in their health moon. ah,
3:47 pm
can you tell me i hastily h r v vaccine to get where it is. but with covered with, we're looking at the end of this year. well, it's been more than a decade rad. we started that vaccine were in h. i the 1986 to 7. the amp study. if it works, if we do get protection, will be the 1st in a multi step process of getting very good protection. my peers that transferred in definitely worth the investment particularly among women in south africa who were at such enormous risk of getting infected at around the same time as the 1st covered vaccines were gaining emergency approval . early results of the am trav were released, providing some hope at last foot
3:48 pm
h r v vaccine. to now i'm going to show you the results of captain. okay. say this shows you that the, that the infection rate was lower in the, in the treatment arms in the infusion arms. it shows us that the infusion did work . so they would say is that then she a positive, a positive result. very happy is an amazing, amazing, well, this is the legacy to your parents. okay. so by volunteering in with
3:49 pm
the good results coming out of the i'm trial i vaccine the prevents h r g is finally incite. but what will this really mean for the world's poor? who's a vaccine get to the people who need it? or like covered will, payton's be used to limit supplies, ensuring higher profits for a small group of powerful companies. there is a growing concerned as we end 2020, about why it is taking so long for the country to receive the coven 19 vaccine. the entire world has promised solidarity at the beginning of this pandemic. but at the same time, rich country is what already buying up supplies, what we call the advanced market commitment, or pre dosages of something that was not yet on the market. 13 percent on the walls
3:50 pm
population who reside in rich countries had bought up more than half of the walls, potential supply of vaccine. this current vaccine nation is a new, a new to baxley nationalism they bought for their own countries. in fact, some cases to create one cuz even 5 times the amount that's required for the population gentle here any comes to other vaccines that they're feeling introduced into public immunization programs against life threatening diseases that can can to 20 years before those vaccines become available in low income countries compared to end implant, you can high income countries. this is where we were with the h. i v. pandemic. 8 years after the therapeutics were available in the west, we had not received them and we lost 10000000 people. is the old movie again. we have no access to vaccines.
3:51 pm
and we will let down the garden pass. okay, we got to december believing that the whole world was coming together to purchase vaccines. not knowing that we'd been curled into a little corner, whilst others ran off and secured the supplies. it was deliberate. those with the resources pushed their way to the front of the queue and took control of their production assets. the same thing that paid out in h i v aids. if you rely on charity and if you rely only on the benevolence on the pharmaceutical industry, you won't secure nothing. i did hindsight to take such
3:52 pm
a risk to pack a whole nation's health and welfare on charity. it seems crazy to me, especially as we know that some variance of causing worldwide concern because of their ability to dodge antibodies. surely the safe thing to do would be to flood the world with vaccines to get the virus the restroom to mutate. viruses do not mutate unless they are allowed to replicate and spread. if you prevent the virus from spreading, it will not you take and you will not get another very using the idea of this being a gigantic clinical trial. dr. glenda gray, i'm professor larry curry. organize a shipment of 500000 vaccines into south africa. that would work against the verite
3:53 pm
dominant at the time, i'm beginning to overwhelm our hospital's long day long a long, long day, and long a long, 14 days. hopefully we'll be able to the next half a 1000000 health care, which is the we then get the vaccine to them that before that they'd waive their game to be burnt off. is this going to be misery? we have millions of immunosuppressed people in our country and these millions are potential ways of was for variance of concern. africa becomes the cesspool of variance of concern. and we don't have vaccines. and so things at this going to get worse and worse.
3:54 pm
