2:31 am
in vaccines. our fear is they could immunize their own population first before we have access to the supply chain. rob: don't count on china for anything. listen to doctor anthony fauci. >> hopefully by the time we get to this coming winter we will now whether or not we have a safe and effective vaccine and the challenge will be to scale it up enough to distribute it meaningfully both in this country and throughout the world. rob: anthony fauci has always been worst-case scenario on these things, not giving people false hope. even he sounds more optimistic in his timeline talking about this winter. that has to give you a lot of optimism. >> generally speaking, doctor anthony fauci is a vaccine guy. you put people who are optimistic into two categories, those are believe in therapeutic or medication and those who believe a vaccine will get us out of this. i'm not sure. it could be either.
2:32 am
anthony fauci was a vaccine guy during the hiv epidemic and it was not a vaccine that got us through hiv as he predicted by the therapeutic. jillian: if a vaccine for arguments sake were to become available at some point in the fall or winter at what point is it just used for emergency cases versus widespread use for anybody who wants to get the vaccine? what is that timeline like? >> herd immunity is achieved when anywhere from 70 percent-90% of our population is immune or has the antibody. right now in the united states that runs at about 2.2 to 5%, some areas is ice 20% or 30%. we are hoping the vaccine can raise community immunity among those who make the antibiotic and will start mostly with those who are high risk like healthcare workers at the
2:33 am
highest risk of getting this infection. rob: oxford is going to india and making this vaccine in large doses for just the potential this thing is going to work. if everything is good to go we could have millions of these available immediately as that is a pretty bold move and very expensive as well. >> believe it or not, manufacturing vaccine is complicated. look at our own testing systems between swabs and reagents and processing and units, they all come from different supply chains. oxford has started early production of the vaccine and set up a certain supply chain. most reagents come from overseas and i hope companies will never again rely this much on foreign reagents. jillian: thank you for joining
