>> trace: christmas 11 days away, sandra. it is just amazing. >> trace: less than 18 days left in 2020. can you believe that? thanks for joining us. "outnumbered" starts now. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert on a historic day. in the fight against coronavirus. as the most ambitious vaccination effort in our nation's history is now underway. a doctor an and a critical care nurse in new york city among the first in the united states to get the vaccine as the death toll from the virus nears 300,000 people nationwide. the fda cleared the pfizer vaccine for emergency use friday night, and shipments went out yesterday to distribution centers and all 50 states. seven months after the trump administration launched its operation warp speed fast track

vaccine effort. president trump talking about the victory over the weekend. >> if i wasn't present, according to almost everybody, even the enemy, if i wasn't president, you wouldn't have a vaccine for five years. i push the fda and companies and everybody involved like nobody has ever been pushed before, and now you have it rolling out. >> harris: in fact, let's visit that for a moment. you will recall much of the media cast out, heavy doubt on the president's claim that the vaccine could come before years end. nbc news fact-checked him back in may when operation warp speed launched, noting expert said he would need a miracle. npr reported the president was "contradicting the cdc." cnbc reported "the evidence contradicted the president vaccine timetable." you're watching "outnumbered." i'm harris faulkner.

today, the cost of "kennedy," kennedy. townhall.com editor, katie pavlich. fox news correspondent, gillian turner. joining us today, media and politics columnist for "the hill," fox news contribut contributor, joe concha. i first want to bring in dr. nicole saphier. dr. saphier, your smile, so bright. our hearts uplifted today, and we know he we have lost so many people. now what we want to do is stop the loss. stop the spread. the vaccine is not a cure, but how much closer are we to getting to a point where we can at least start to exhale? >> harris, today really is a critical milestone in our fight against covid-19. listening to some of the fact-checking. "it will require a miracle to get a vaccine by the end of 2020." we have done if you're not only with one vaccine, pfizer being administered today in the

united states, but moderna is up next on thursday. they are hopefully going to have it by the end of the week as well. about 20 million americans potentially starting their vaccines by the hand of 2020. it really is incredible, but here is, as we have noted, you require two doses of this vaccine before you get immunity, and it will really take a while until we reach that level of herd immunity that is required for us to get back to a level of normalcy. and truthfully, the goal is by the end of the third quarter 2021, to have 100 million americans vaccinated. what an incredible speech. but that being said, that still doesn't get us to that 70% to get to herd immunity, so it is not going to be until early summer when we really have enough americans vaccinated. we are going to have a great summer. >> harris: yeah, well, hope is not a strategy, but it can certainly fill some gaps along the way.

talk to me about thursday and moderna and the difference, you know, in these vaccines in terms of the public. what we need to understand in terms of what the nurses and doctors are getting. are they similar enough that it doesn't matter which one you get? if they only have the second kind, can you mix them up? the details on this. >> that's a really great question, harris. it is the same technology. it is a very exciting technology. our first vaccine ever using it, and as we have mentioned, their efficacy has blown us out of the water. about 95 present in their clinical trials. it is proven to be extremely safe. the main differences they require different storages. the pfizer vaccine requires very cold storage at negative 97 degrees fahrenheit, and moderna is significantly less. you will likely see the moderna vaccine more widely available, whereas the pfizer vaccine is probably going to have to be at

the large academic centers, hospitals, other vaccine sites because of the deep freeze. whether you can get one vaccine and a second dose from the other company, certainly that has not been studied. in theory, you could say maybe, but likely, we are going to try and make sure that people get two of the same, even though they work the same. it is better to stay with the same because i can, it hasn't been studied. we want to make sure we are doing things based on science. >> harris: all right, last quick question, and then i open it up to the virtual couch. it has to do with how fast they work. it isn't like the flu shot, where it can take you up to about ten days? how fast will this -- that's not great. but better than nothing. in this case, you've got 70, 90 percentage in terms of efficacy, and how fast does not work in the body? >> after the first injection,

about three weeks later, you get the second injection. the data shows that people have about 52.4% immunity after that first injection before they got the second injection. about a week after the second injection, it skyrockets up to 95%, but as you noted, that 52.4%, that of the usual flu vaccine, so you have some level of immunity after the first vaccine. however, i do want to urge people don't just get that first injection. make sure you come back because that 95% is so key. we have had issues with the shingles vaccine and a lot of our trials that require multiple doses to really get the level of immunity. so that is going to be a very complex issue that people are going to have to work with. make sure they get people to come back for that second dose. >> harris: all right. doctor, you are going to hang with us, but we want to talk about this. when you talk about how other

people in the media are really downgrading and sometimes denigrating what we are seeing right now, what do you say about that? you do so much coverage of what people are saying in terms of those who have influence. >> joe: those fat checks that you use that the intro, harris, were interesting because in less you have the delorean, you can't fact-check something that hasn't happened yet in the future. so those were comical. but this is just something that really is incredible in terms of the speed. it is like the moon landing when jfk said we would be on the moon by the end of the '60s. or the doolittle mission over tokyo. i believe there is moving on it, and fdr said do not tell me it can't be done. many people were saying this cannot be done. mainly those in the media, but i want to ask dr. saphier a question at the end of this. you need a huge p.r. campaign

because one-third of americans say they are not going to take this vaccine. do the math on that. it is 110 million people. that is that combine populations. so i think president trump would do a great service if you took the vaccine live on television. i think joe biden and kamala harris who have done so much, score cheap political points during a campaign, they should take it on the air as well. and then you've got to have people who are influencers involved. bring in athletes, current and former. peyton manning and tom brady take it, great. if they take it from nascar, great. and then nonpolarizing celebrities. tom hanks or reese witherspoon. you have to have a massive campaign around this because that is a big problem. my question for dr. saphier, and you brought this up a couple weeks ago. from a reporting standpoint, doctor, that this isn't talked about enough. even if you get two shots of

this vaccine, you could still carry the virus and ultimately infect people who haven't taken the vaccine. i don't think this is being stressed enough. can you just talk about that a little bit more? does this mean we are wearing masks indefinitely because of that aspect? >> dr. saphier: joe, you brought up a lot of amazing points. but you directly answer your question, and it's not that we know for certain that people can still transmit the virus even after they have been infected. it is still one of those big unknowns. because we haven't studied that yet. that is coming. that is crucial for us to know. as of right now, if you get vaccinated, it is possible that you can still get the virus in your system and transmitted to other people. the vaccine is preventing the symptoms of covid-19. it is not actually stopping the virus from coming into your system. it still requires more studying. in the meantime, those who get vaccinated, it's important to still protect those around you.

especially the vulnerable who have not been vaccinated. it's interesting that you said president trump should get the vaccine for p.r. hands down, we need a massive p.r. push because if a third of the population does not get the vaccine, this will not be for nothing. we have to make sure that we get enough people taking the vacci vaccine. president trump recently had covid. so he likely still have circulating antibodies in his system, protecting him from future covid infections. at least right now. how long do the antibodies last? we don't know yet. the overall recommendation will be that people who had covid will get vaccinated, but right now, they are not going to be first in line to get it because they were so many people that are still very vulnerable to this virus who don't have any sort of immunity to it. >> harris: kennedy. >> kennedy: , now. i just kind of -- i want to add on to what dr. saphier was

talking about. i want to ask about what you were just talking about. people who have already have the virus. we obviously have limited vaccines, so should people who have had the virus, even if they are in those vulnerable categories, should they receive the vaccine, or should they waste? >> dr. saphier: it's a really good question, kennedy, and there has been no official recommendation coming out yet. i imagine we will be seeing one scene. people who had it in the spring may not have antibodies anymore. they probably have some memory of it, and they may be able to fight a lot better, but we don't know. the people who have already recovered from covid-19, it's possible you could take another antibody test, but those who have recovered who have had documented infections should probably not be first in line because there is such limited vaccines, and we have a lot of americans suffering from an illness that have no immunity whatsoever to the virus, and they should truly get the vaccine before anybody who has recovered because when you look

at the data from sars and mers, although we don't know, it is likely we have some level of immunity. one to two years after that initial infection. >> harris: wow. that is impressive. you know, katie, the president has tweeted today that he feels like he and his white house staff will wait their turn and maybe push it down a little bit further into the future. maybe some of the reasons we have been talking about, he has already had it, but when you touch on what joe concha is saying about all the p.r., i wonder how much you are going to get from some of the mainstream media. it is really interesting to be in a position where they pushed so much against this happening, and here we are. and it is amazing. >> katie: it is incredible.

not only, harris, where they fact-checking to say that the president was -- giving the american people false hope by what he was saying, being a cheerleader for america. you don't have the media coming back now and saying that they were wrong or even going step-by-step through operation warp speed and using it as a blueprint for the future and how you can take regulations off that are unnecessary in order to get the american people the things that they need, but in terms of p.r. campaign, i do think it is really crucial to focus on the third of americans who do not want to get this vaccine and why. and instead of shaming them and somehow thinking that they shouldn't have that stance, maybe we should be talking to them or about the safety of the vaccine, why it would be good for them to take it, addressing some of the concerns that they have and the questions that they have about not wanting to put something into their body. that is really what these companies are going to have to do. my question for dr. saphier is if i am a skeptical american,

which there are many of them, what would you say about why it is okay for them to take this vaccine, whether it has side effects or whether it is safe for them to take? >> dr. saphier: katie, valid point. one of the most dangerous things that can happen right now are for the third of americans who are saying that they are not taking it is to completely push them to the side as anti-vax or covid deniers because that is not true. they are very well educated, and skepticism is very important. especially when it comes to you and your health. i can tell you that this vaccine is very different than other vaccines. a lot of the other vaccines that we have been using for decades, we are actually injecting viruses into someone systems. this isn't bad. this is just injecting a small agent that your body then makes a protein. in no way, shape, or form are you being injected with covid. we now have over 40,000 americans who have received that

pfizer vaccine, and yes, while there are side effects, it is no different than a lot of the other vaccines. maybe you feel crummy for a day or two, but that shows that your body is doing what it is supposed to do, and it is creating that immune response to the vaccine. i will tell you, i am so incredibly excited about this vaccine. i was one of the naysayers privately over the summer about the timeline of the vaccine just because historically, it takes five to ten years for it to happen. when i saw what they were doing by parallel manufacturing and hedging their bets that one of them would be successful, i knew right away that this could actually happen, and here we a are. this vaccine has proven so -- i can't -- i don't think most people understand how incredible that 95% efficacy number is. >> harris: no, it's a big deal. especially when we have been trying to get people to take the

flu shot, and it is so critical that they do. less than a year and a half ago, we were rocking a strain b. it was very complicated. that is when we started to learn about wow, how do we get that number higher with its effectiveness and look at what has been done now. operation warp speed has saved so many lives. something we didn't even have a track record on. gillian, speaking of children, one of the things that the fda has been looking at, 16 and older benchmark, and i know you have taken some look at this too as a journalist. what are you finding? >> gillian: the virus, anything, and dr. saphier could speak to this better, but it is most effective on people who are 16 and older. it is also more sorely needed for people who are 16 and older. children under 16 spread the virus at a much lower rate than

adults. quick note on the psychological element of today. what to expect, how people should feel. dan heninger put a fine point on this. he talked about a throwback to the way americans felt when they were in the grips of the polio epidemic which was freaking out in the 1950s and terrorizing americans. it would paralyze people from head to toe and basically torture them before it killed them. i was talking to my mother about this. she had friends die from it. and started talking about the first day that a vaccine for polio was rolled out and then a tremendous that was provided to americans. so similar to what americans are going through today. not just the fact that we are going to be physically healthier and some of us are now going to be finally immune from this horrible, horrible disease. it is the fact that we can breathe a collective sigh of relief because we now know that help is on the way. >> harris: yeah, and i would

think that the way that this came about would help us for future generations who sigh pandemics. the fact that you can put your theoretical research. you .2 this time and time again, dr. saphier, and your physical research, side-by-side. saved us an amazing amount of time. just think of what we are capable of, moving forward. like i say, hope is not a strategy, but it certainly helps while you wait for the science to deliver what we know it feels like a miracle. all right, we will continue. president trump is bowing the election fight is not over. the next move in his legal battle. and then a new email by fox news. be a significant update in the hunter biden investigation. it raises serious questions about what joe biden new and when. >> i have no response.

"the probe was revealed weeks after the election in which president trump made baseless claims regarding hunter biden." you can't make this stuff up. there it is. >> kennedy: well, kd, he's got sort of dueling investigations with the u.s. attorney in delaware, and a federal grand jury. where is this investigation right now? >> katie: well, the u.s. attorney is certainly looking into it. dan has been very -- haven't been getting back to comments

confirmation of the supreme court justice amy coney barrett would hand president trump the election somehow and be inappropriate was completely blown out of the water by the supreme court's decision friday night, but moving forward, he is going to continue to fight this. i think that state legislatures in the states that have questions about voter irregularity and some other ways that they have counted ballots, which have read a lot of skepticism among voters. them being in the middle of the night, delays for days on end. making sure that next time we have a presidential election are congressional election in 2022, that people understand where the transparency is, the reforms that have been made, why things are being done the way that they are. republican campaigns need to have their attorneys available ahead of time so that when these rule changes are being pushed through, they can be stopped, rather than litigated on the back end.

>> harris: pennsylvania is the example you are pointing to their because the law that changed, taking balanced three days after the election that had been postmarked, you know, that happened back in 2019. yet the site didn't really begin until later. so, gillian, democrats, republicans, everybody kind of has to deal with this issue going forward with election integrity. i want to show you a new fox poll make. more than three fourths of president trump supporters, his voters, people that have voted for him, 68% of republicans say they believe the election was stolen. this is something that remains a hot issue. >> gillian: it is. 77% of 74 million americans voted for president trump's a lot of americans. i think their feelings and their thoughts and their views matter. they need to be addressed, so these kinds of falls that give

us this information and are really important. here's the rub, though, harris. because of this type of the situation we are now and, president trump's legal team had a very specific job to do, which was to translate the voice of those people. and in court after court, they have failed to make a compelling case. we now have obama appointed judges, trump appointed judges, and george w. bush appointed judges who said they failed to meet that threshold. they failed to create legitimate compelling cases. the question i have is why? if there are that many americans who side with the trump legal team and really believe the election was stolen from president trump, why aren't they able to make the case? seems like some questions should be pointed their way. >> harris: you know, one thing that we learned years ago, joe concha, was that there is singular message in florida, the singular problem, that irregularity was something that

was a lot easier to articulate. and i took a note on what you said. "translate people's experiences. >> joe: in the bush-gore situation, that was was arguing from ahead. but those numbers that you mentioned around trust and elections, i saw another one. cnbc. 3% of trump supporter's believe that joe biden is illegitimate. then two-thirds of democratic voters believe that -- that they actually changed voting tally is after that election, so now you have to go straight elections where one side believes the other side cheated, and that's a dangerous, dangerous place to be as a free society. >> harris: all right. new controversy for one of president-elect joe biden's potential cabinet picks. a former aide is accusing new york governor andrew cuomo of sexually harassing her for years. her allegations and what his

they are taking the threat from china as seriously as they should, especially given that eric swalwell is on the intelligence committee, which works directly with issues of chinese espionage. they want to know was he compromise? >> katie: so the concern specifically ranges from malfeasance. that is where this ethics investigation might start to kind of terror away about a little bit so that americans have more of an understanding of what actually happened. i don't know that it is an ethics issue. you said, it is a national security issue that needs to be investigated first and foremost, but that's up to congress, how they want to deal with it. there is the issue of eric swalwell himself and then the broader issue, republicans using this to say that they were naive when it comes to the real threat posed by china. whether it is fair or not, this story is going to be a major liability or a president biden when he gets worn into office.

>> kennedy: president trump not happy that major sports team is bowing to political correctness. the cleveland indians planning to change their name after more of a century. the president tweeting "oh, no, what is going on? cancel culture at work." still no official word on way than a name change take effect, but this comes after the washington franchise changed its nickname from the redskins to the washington football team. after years of protests and boycotts threats. so, joe, i think it's like being in a nudist colony.

all of a sudden, people start putting on their clothes, and you are the last naked person standing. that is kind of the pressure. >> has not happened to you? >> kennedy: i can't comment right now. >> joe: i don't even know where to go with that. what the hell am i going to do with this? my cleveland indians jersey. now that is going to go in that -- actually that is a collector's item now that i think about it. >> kennedy: you could make money on the deal, joe. >> joe: i can probably get 300 bucks for this thing. i don't know if you want to name your team after something that you may deal at 4:00 in the afternoon. the cleveland rockers. and that cleveland burning rivers. >> kennedy: that is not a joke. you take that back.
