when you are vaccinated you make a lot of an immune response, this is just some slight changes the virus and you're having a full court press on it with the vaccine. it would take many months if not years before a new strain would be resistant to the vaccine was almost 0 chance that is true here. not only that, it is also very very unlikely this strain even if it is more contagious is more deadly or that it causes a more severe disease which in fact new strains come out all the time with viruses and in a pandemic they would tend to be less severe rather than more severe. what a virus wants to do is spread. it is not interested in anything but survival. todd: former fda chief scott gottlieb on this new strains and i think this is already in the us. i don't think of travel ban at this point will prevent this mutated strain from coming into

the us but over time it will you leave all in ways that can obviate prior infection or vaccine so we probably need to adapt our vaccines over time. a lot to unpack, travel ban, changing the vaccine. break it down for us. >> in terms of changing the vaccine, these mrna vaccines are easy to adjust but we are nowhere near that. to the point about travel bans i think he is right, too late for that because the strain has spread to the very countries that are coming off travel in the same is true of this massive lockdown in the uk. that has tremendous cost associated with it and it is not clear it will decrease the spread since most of the spread occurs within households anyway. these things have to be looked at from a larger public health perspective. what are you gaining with these moves, that's why the united states has not cut off travel to

the uk at this point because it is probably already here. shannon: you don't think we should restrict travel like the other countries have done. >> i don't think we should if we can determine it is already here. the purpose of doing it would prevent it from coming here. that is the thing. if it is more contagious it will spread no matter what design for travel and if they prevented coming here but looks like it is here already. todd: overdose deaths in san francisco have outpaced coronavirus death. you are the numbers, 621 overdosing so far in 2020, only 173 covid-19 deaths only relative to the 621. is it because lockdown, lack of attention to the opioid crisis, we are so focused on coronavirus, some accommodation of the two. todd: you've got that nailed. i talk to the chief of medicine at california san francisco last weekend san francisco that there is a nod doing a good job

controlling covid-19 better than any of our other cities but there is a crisis with opioids, drug abuse and alcohol abuse that is tied to the lockdowns, the closure of restaurants and businesses and the increase of despair. that the overall public health costs, the collateral damage. those covid-19 deaths, if you have an overdose death because you lost a job or you are in despair it is related to and we have to look at it as part of it. todd: mental health is a real thing and a lot of people having a hard time trying to deal with it. doctor mark siegel, author of the book covid-19:the politics of fear and the power of science, thank you for joining us, appreciate it. >> there is light at the end of the tunnel with the vaccine.

be automatic sinks, toilets, paper towel dispensers, we installed sanitizers, extensions everywhere, give masks out of people don't have one when they come in. we did everything you can possibly do. todd: restaurants are a tight margin business in good times we these are not good times. you spent 20,$000 doing that, your revenue is down in your shutdown while 10 miles away in a different area people can dine indoors what have you got any explanation? >> none at all. they've not shown any proof that it increased the covid-19 epidemic. they haven't proved anything. todd: do you feel anyone in power is listening to you? >> know. we have had rallies.

about bringing independent judgment to the matter? >> well, he certainly does. the statute that authorizes the special counsel specifically identifies conflicts of interest appearances and conflicts of interest as a basis for the appointment of the special counsel. so i think he's right in that that you want to avoid the appearance. but, there is system devil in the details on this issue. specifically, if you know, it depends on who might be appointed. if the attorney general refuses to appoint, then the question is county president appoint? and there is authority for the president to actually appoint a special counsel. but, it gets more complicated. because if he appoints someone, for example, like sidney powell where there there is rumors about her being appointed, she doesn't have any authority nor would the attorney general extend authority to allow her to use the grand jury. so, the limited action that the president may have is to actually task one of his senate confirmed u.s. attorneys, which cannot be fired or terminated

and by just the attorney general, the president, they would serve at the pleasure of the president, so that may be the only route for the president. todd: quickly, about 20 seconds on this next point. what about this concept of combining the hunter biden thing in an overamping chinese influence special counsel. hunter is only a tiny part of that. wouldn't that back biden into a corner and we would sort of get the answers we want anyway. >> that's the concern, todd. you are exactly right, is the scope. the spowp that is appointed has to have very broad scope in this situation. todd: right. sort of give that doj cover to do its job but also not make joe biden feel like he is missing an opportunity to punt and get out of this. jillian? jillian: let's talk about maxine waters here for a second. she said congress missed an opportunity to impeach president trump for treason. this is a tweet from sunday we missed our opportunity to impeach him for treason exactly what i just said among other things we said there. she has been going at this

messaging here for quite some time. i guess it's to no surprise that we are seeing it. i don't know. what do you make of this tweet? >> i think she is fixated on the president because it has rallied people that are listening to her in echo chambers that announce that impeachments are going to be handed out by congress to a president they don't like. and the concern is did she not see the impeachment that went down? did she not see the scope of the mueller investigation wasn't going to get to something as big or significant as treason. todd: like that tweet is so 2017. bet tolman, we appreciate your time again, not as cute as a little kid in that other segment but informative nonetheless. will merry christmas. jillian: merry christmas, thank you. >> merry christmas. ed toed to the out with the old and in with the new. the big 2020 sign arrives ahead of new year's eve. six light bulbs are on display right now.
