todd: anthony fauci think the coronavirus fixing to be ready by january. jillian: dr. nicole saphier will talk about whether that is realistic or wishful thinking. ♪

>> welcome back, lockdowns return across europe as a second wave of coronavirus spread and soaring infections in the us have americans dreading more of the same but the death rate is trending lower so what has changed? dr. nicole saphier, thank you for being here. >> the question is has anything changed or is it the fact that we are much more knowledgeable

about the virus and how we can protect ourselves and additional therapeutics. >> reporter: that all contributes to what has changed since the beginning of the pandemic. our technology has advanced, diagnosing, testing and treatment capabilities and everyone has more knowledge about this virus including the general public and physicians. physicians know how to treat this better but people are also doing what they need to do to protect themselves from the virus not to mention we know who is most vulnerable to the severity of this illness so we continue to keep them safe. unfortunately 2020 is going to be about behavior change. we have diagnostic and treatment capabilities but still working on more for that but we are still, to prevent this illness, as we know this illness has a higher hospitalization rate than the flu and many other

wintertime viruses so we need to make sure capacity stays level and a vaccine is not going to come in 2020, it is up to us, behaviors and choices the get us through 2020 and that means continued social distancing, handwashing, wearing a mask when possible and limiting indoor gatherings. jillian: behavioral changes are take away for sure. you mentioned the vaccine, let's listen to what anthony fauci had to say. >> from that time in december when one or maybe two of the five companies would put in for a ua when the eua will be granted, could be january or later. >> reporter: there has been so much conversation on the timeline of this and we don't know until we get closer. >> reporter: i hate discussing

specific timelines. they will change it will make people disappointed and upset but the bottom line is through operation warp speed we have many vaccines in late phase clinical trials at rapid time, they are doing any credible job but the way vaccines work you have to enroll a certain amount of patience to get the vaccine or the placebo and then a predetermined number of events meaning a certain number of people need to get sick to see if the vaccine works or doesn't compared to a placebo. pfizer and moderna reached the number of people they went from 30 to 60,000 participants. they are waiting on efficacy data which means they don't have the preset number of events. the double-edged sword is the more circulating virus the higher likelihood we will see those cases. they will get those numbers by the end of 2020, but they have to go to an independent safety review board and the safety of

the vaccine and make sure they can safely manufacture the vaccine. it will take time. vaccine is not getting us out of 2020. do you think there could be the emergency use authorization by late 2020 or 2021 for the high risk population? it is possible. we will not see protective immunity until spring or even summer and that is when we will see a vaccine available for the general population. we need to work on prevention. a vaccine is on the way it hopefully multiple of them but it will be about behavioral choices. we can do it. jillian: great in formation. thank you for joining us. todd: still headlines are reemerging as a campaign issue after riding and living in philadelphia. what do voters think will end the chaos? election...

users including white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany tried to share the story but there twitter accounts were suspended, dorsey admitted the policy twitter followed when limiting circulation of the story was flawed and said other users should not have been blocked from sharing links to it. senators asked whether twitter has the ability to influence elections, something he denied. >> we are one part of spectrum. >> you are testifying to this committee that twitter when it silences people, blocks political speech, has no impact on elections? >> people have choice of other communications channels. >> reporter: as for facebook ceo mark zuckerberg claimed the platform did not censor the hunter biden story but instead slammed it for fact checking. todd: thanks so much.

>> i haven't seen any evidence in the past or this cycle that there are people being disenfranchised, being denied the right to vote or register to vote or that there are massive dumps of ballots by mail or in person or otherwise. in this time of extreme distrust of our institutions, of each other to responsible for leaders of both parties to sell more distrust and have people not believe in the results that are going to happen when one of the parties is going to lose. jillian: a lot of people, breaking records how many voted early. a lot of people want to do this in person to ensure their vote is counted. what would you say to them? >> if that is what you want to do you should do that. protocols to protect yourself from covid-19 are a and certainly we should celebrate

this pageant of civic, whether it is due to your sense of obligation or something you feel you need to do on election day is wonderful. todd: an odd question to ask but this is where we are in 2020, abolish the supreme court, the farmer furious with democrats over amy coney barrett's confirmation, taking to social media with also abolish the supreme court in thinking of taking to the streets against a, quote, ruling class congress. these are some writings they've put out yesterday. amy coney barrett was sworn into the supreme court, democrats but a little resistance proving they are the party of the ruling class. we can't count on the democrats or the supreme court to secure our rights and a bunch of hashtags followed by this, the working class a strong, protests in the streets can shutdown cities and make politicians tremble. if we want to defend our right to choose and to defend immigrants right to the right of

the working class we will have to rely on our own strength. they are not just calling out republicans but democrats as well. could these threats turning to more than words? >> this group called demand justice should be called demand justices. they are looking to add more seats to the supreme court, course packing. i am not sure how if you are arguing - to change the number of justices we have had for 150 years. it is possible if democrats win a big enough majority in the senate and the white house they could get rid of the legislative filibuster and add these seats. that would not be a pretty picture. the last polls i saw have the american people not wanting that at all. these activist groups might corner the democrats into doing something they will regret. jillian: where would we be in the country of the supreme court

was abolished as these people hope would happen? >> we have to have courts. we don't have courts there would be no check on oppression by the majority if -- individual rights. todd: we appreciate it. jillian: 12 minutes until the top of the our. amy coney barrett getting harsh treatment from democrats. vanity fair -- neil: double standard is the only standard on the left, tommy laren joins us next. ♪ sofi made it so easy to pay off my student loan debt. they were able to give me a personal loan

law enforcement or law and order and the american people are seeing that especially in the areas he needs to win and they are saying i am not really okay with riot season. i want respect for law enforcement and they will vote on that next week. >> friends and family of walter wallace junior, people upset by this shooting deserve answers once this investigation plays out but that's different than the looting and rioting that has been upwards of 10 miles away from locations where the shooting took place. and what does that have to do with the incident at hand right now? >> it is important to note the in formation in this incident anytime a life is lost it is tragic, no police officer wants to be in that situation but the fact so many are leaving out the

fact the suspect rushed police brandishing a knife, that is part of this discussion in the looting and rioting is never okay. it has been happening all summer long and people are fed up with being told their businesses have to be closed and shuttered due to covid-19 infringement but they can be looted and destroyed through protests. the american people are watching and learning what is going on under a democratic leader. todd: let's focus on women in politics, compare and contrast judge barrett versus aoc starting with judge barrett. jimmy kimmel compares the ceremony to a famous game of thrones episode, replacing rgb with acp is like trading lebron from ben carson in the washington post, amy coney barrett is a strong woman, that doesn't make her a feminist icon. compare and contrast that with this. vanity fair's december cover of aoc and her plan for her next

four years. are they missing the point, the great michael jordan line that republicans by sneakers as well? >> they are but the double standard is the only standard of the left and it is clear the confirmation process you have a woman with you agree with her politics or not with you agree with her decisions or not you have a woman that is incredibly accomplished, dignified, intelligent and a role model for women that achieved a very high office, if she were on the left she would be on the cover of every magazine and they forget as you said conservative women, republican women, independent women, listen to pop culture, read magazines, watch television and we are part of their audience, their consumers but they forget about it once again. jillian: how will we get to the point we can be happy for women, men, however the case may jillian: n conversation specifically talking about you don't agree with everything alexandria ocasio-cortez stands for. people in this country aren't

going to agree everything she stands for. you can still be happy that someone is paving their own way. it seems like nobody on the left is happy for justice amy coney barrett for paving an extraordinary way for herself. >> oh, of course. i will say just as you said. i'm not fasten aoc's policies i have to give her credit from going to from bartender to the member of congress. left can't do that trump derangement syndrome and unloving attitude that won't allow them unfortunatelily to do that it's up to us to make sure that all the little girls out there are looking at an acb and saying that woman is a role model and achieved something great. we will have to do it if they won't. todd: don't forget watch tomi ti lahren on no interruption on fox nation. there is the full screen there. she is pointing up your finger telling you there won't be any -- will tomi, we appreciate your time. >> thank you, guys. jillian: hillary clinton doing
