encourage and enfeities peopl e get vaccinations is good. >> depend on future allocations from state and authorities. the county has set up locations around the county with plans to double capacity by next week to nearly 7,000 people a day. that number doesn't include vaccinations beinge health ca p such a kaiser and public health. kaiser says it will be important for all entities to work together to ensure a timely delivery. >> it's important to recognize what happened in the past and what failed, and then come up with concrete steps about what we're going to do going forward to ensure we don't make the same mistakes again. >> reporter: although the use of levi's stadium is far size of the facility as well as the security of the setup could be beneficial. they're also exploring other mass vaccinations sites with the hope of accommodating 10 to 20,000 appointments a day in the future. >> we ask for tremendous trust

of our residents, and i believe we owe them in return tremendous transparency. >> reporter: many community members hoping for a clearer understanding of their place in line. in the south bay, chris nguyen, abc7 news. sonoma county will start doing mass vaccinations tomorrow at the county fairgrounds. sky 7 flew ove in santa rosa. it will be used as a drive-through. the goal is to vaccinate about 5,000 people who work in nursing homes. it's unclear how many doses will be available. but as of sunday, more than 11,000 vaccinations had been administered in sonoma county. the clock is ticking down on president trump facing impeachment a second time. the house is expected to take up a resolution shortly to ask vice president mike pence to invoke the 25th amendment to remove the president. now if vice president pence does not take action, house democrats are expected to move forward tomorrow with impeachment proceedings. the president will face a single charge, incitement of insurrection. no president has ever been impeached twice.

the president made his first public appearance today since the pro-trump insurrectionists attacked the capitol last week. he traveled to texas to promote his immigration policy and defend his legacy. and while there, as you can see, signed a piece of the border wall. reporter ted oberg of our sister station ktrk is in hidalgo, texas, which sits right on the boarder in south texas. ted? >> larry, an incredibly eventful day here along the border, but not necessarily because of the border wall. donald trump has been coming here for 5 1/2 years to promote this idea. and despite all of the work he has done, controversial or not, it was definitely overshadowed by the crisis he faces back home. >> usa! >> reporter: hundreds of trump supporters gathered at the edge of the airport to welcome the president to the texas border with mexico. >> he's coming! >> reporter: the fact he is about to be impeached for the second time and may be using this trip as a split screen

distraction didn't faze them at all. >> it's not a distraction for him or for us. it's them up there that are trying to distract him. he's not a distraction. >> reporter: trump is doing all he can to make this appear a normal day, even thanking supporters for their votes as he arriv arrived. but this, his first trip since the capitol riots isn't a normal day. that brought protesters out too. local leaders describing passions as running dangerously we're here to let him know 245 him and his white supremacist ideals are not welcome here in the valley, and he is not welcome here now nor ever. >> reporter: all of it overshadowing trump's short visit to the actual border wall. >> unlike those who came before me, i kept my promises. and today we celebrate an destroy extraordinary milestone, the complete of the 415 miles of promised at a thousand miles. today less than 40 of those 450 miles are actually new wall. and federal maps show breaks in

several place, some of those still awaiting construction. but even standing to what is done, a signature campaign promise at the end of his tumultuous term, president trump couldn't avoid the distractions surroundin joined together to ce gre extraordinarily successf building of the wall on the southern border. before we begin, i'd like to say that free speech is under assault like never before. the 25th amendment is of zero risk to me, but will come back to haunt joe biden and the biden administration. a the expression goes, be careful what you wish for. >> shortly after that, president trump was back at his plane, headed back to d.c., larry. it took him twice as long to get here and get home as he spent on the ground, that should tell all of us about how much he wanted to get out of d.c. where that impeachment vote moves tomorrow. larry, back to you.

>> ted, you mention this in your report. only about 40 miles of new wall was built. the border is actually over 1900 miles. most of the work that was done was actually replacing existing wall. so do residents there want more wall? less wall? what do they really want? >> it's hard to say that residents want the wall that exists now to be torn down, larry. it's a complicated question, as it is along the california border. i think they're eager to see this contentious construction stop. so many of them are still in court fighting the trump administration over land grabs to build more wall. they are hopeful that joe biden keeps his promise to build not one more mile of border wall once he is sworn in. >> ted, appreciate your time. ted oberg reporting live in hidalgo, texas. retyred california u.s. senator barbara boxer is in the news today. president-elect biden's inaugural committee has returned a donation that came from her because this week she registered i thought i could be helpful and as a foreign agent for chinese

get this company to be embracing company. joining us now is former senator barbara boxer by phone. human rights laws, and continue thanks for your time. i appreciate it. how you? to add american jobs, but i >> well, i am good. it's hard for me to see the understand it. so the one thing i learned after president on a victory tour for his wall after what's happened all my years is you make a to the capitol. but to get to your question, mistake, correct it. and that's what i have done. this company has been in america since '06. american jobs, they make cameras, but china misused their cameras. and they used them to harm in a horrible way. i thought i could help make them better, but the outcry was great. t'here we are.t. >> all right. i should mention that you returned -- it was $500. that was the amount of the donation, which the biden inaugural committee has returned to you. >> yes. >> and i also think it's important to define foreign agent to our viewers, senator boxer. it doesn't mean you are a spy for foreign government.

it doesn't mean you have done anything wrong, in case there are misconceptions. it means you had to tell the justice department, our government, when you're doing lobbying on behalf of a non-u.s. interest. and i appreciate that you said hey, look, this company, i probably shouldn't have. but i want to press that just a little bit more, because this company. >> sure. >> even though it has been operating and doing business here, isn't it a surveillance firm that's accused of contributing to the mass muslims ins ins ins ins in xin jiang? did you know this? >> that's what i just said. i didn't know the but as soon as i learned it, i just said no. but here's what happened. in 2017, their cameras were used by the chinese government. the cameras in america are used in private homes to help security in businesses and so on. but when i realized that the chinese government had used their cameras, the one thing i knew was that they were involved

in a problem, and i wanted to get them to step up and embrace american values. that was the whole point. but as soon as i realized i had made a mistake, i said no, i'm not doing this. so i'm not doing it. >> now that you've deregistered, you're not going to be working for them. >> no. no. >> i want to ask you, for sure you must have been heartbroken to see the attack on the capitol. but i want to explore this part a little bit. senate majority leader, republican mitch mcconnell once called you one of his favorite democrats. he said, quote, i'm shockingly enough a big fan of barbara boxer. i don't know if you're still close, but, you know, what would you say to him today if you could looking at all that's happened and in our nation needing to heal and unify at this time? >> well, right now we have to understand that it was nancy pelosi and mitch mcconnell that continued the counting of the votes to make sure that joe biden would get the requisite

numbers of electoral votes. first that's good. but the fact that you have blocked every single thing that the house has done, all the good things to help us get after this virus and create jobs, help people, you know, you could do better on that. but look, he is not going to be majority leader anymore. the amazing victory in georgia is putting chuck schumer at thee able to put thingpeople. but, you know, it's interesting because mitch mcconnell and i didn't talk much for 20 years. but right before i was ready to leave, i wanted to do a highway build. i felt it was a real chance to create jobs in california and across the country. and he worked with me on it. we worked very well together. but once trump got elected, he became one of the best buddies, and it's been just awful. but i do have to say how my

heartaches for what i saw, a place i revered and i worked at for so long. and it was an out-of-body experience to see marauders and insurrectionists take over like this. and, you know, that's why when i see donald trump doing his quote/unquote victory tour, after five people died and the whole capitol is now going to become what, like an armed camp? it's stunning and there aren't too many words. >> well, we can only hope that this too shall pass. >> yep. >> and we will be back to the strong nation that we always were. and i do appreciate your taking the time to confront the challenging headlines that you personally face today. former senator barbara boxer, appreciate your time. wish you well. >> thank you. bye-bye. coming up next, disneyland is planning to host a mass vaccination. how the bay area is responding to the enormous challenge. also, the effort to recall

abs news anchor liz kreutz looks at the effort that is now under way to discredit the petition drive that has more than a million signatures. >> reporter: the efforts to recall gavin newsom are gaining steam, and democratic party officials seem to know it. at a press conference, they launched a new effort aimed at discrediting the petition, saying there is a connection between the recall campaign and those who stormed the capitol. >> this recall effort, which really ought to be called the california coup is being led by right wing conspiracy theorists, white nationalists, anti-vaxxer, and groups who encourage violence on our democratic institution. >> reporter: democratic party chair rusty hicks was joined by san francisco assembly member elected leaders. they repeatedly made claims that neo-nazi extremists were behind the recall campaign, but did not provide any evidence. abc7 news sent a request for follow-up for specific examples and have not heard back. >> i think what the democrats

are doing is shameful and will fuel more and more people signing. >> reporter: tom bell vaccaro is one of the two groups working on the effort. he says they already have 1.1 million signatures and are on track to hit the roughly 1.5 million signatures needed. he believes today's press conference shows the democratic party is getting scared. >> here's the play. if you can discredit the recall effort by tying it in to what happened to washington, then maybe you can get what they call white glove republican donors to hold off from giving the group any money. >> reporter: he says the recall effort has nothing to do with what happened at the capitol. >> it's 1.1 million. those aren't all republicans. there are many democrats who are small business owners that want to be able to open up and earn a living. and they can't in this state, like they could in florida.

so that's what's driving this. the recall campaign must submit their signatures to county election officials by march 17th. liz kreutz, abc7 news. yelp is not just for restaurant ratings. now customers can give feedback on how businesses are handling coronavirus protocols. >> 7 on your side's michael finney here with the details now. hi, michael. >> hey, larry, kristen, starting today you can complain about how a business is handling the covid-19 guidelines. yelp is now including information about social distancing at businesses and if employees are wearing masks. the site will post a warning only after receiving multiple complaints from users who are actually logged into their accounts. the complaints will be evaluated daily to keep sure that the warnings are accurate and current. it appears people are looking forward to returning to cruise ships once the pandemic has eased.

insurance, most people should get it through their private providers. but to be clear, this isn't an issue of cost. this is an administration of administration and governance and deployment. >> reporter: with 27,000 covid cases reported in san francisco and surging, friedberg had a proposal. >> matt, i just heard david offer to run the distribution vaccine plan. do you think the city would go for that? >> i'll raise the money. you guys give us the doses. i'll raise the money and bring the people to the table and we'll do it safely and by the law and get things done. >> this is the opportunity the city should not be leaving on the table. and so, yes, i would absolutely love to see that. >> reporter: so at this point -- >> the offer is on the table. >> reporter: in san francisco, luz pena, abc7 news. >> luz pena bringing people together to solve san francisco's problems. that was a great idea. hopefully they can get it done now. california currently working to vaccinate health care workers and people in long-term care facilities. and one of those health care

workers is our own abc7 news contributor dr. alok patel, who just got his second dose of the pfizer vaccine in san francisco. >> vaccinated almost 4500 people, and there has only been two very minor reactions. >> it is an expected response because our immune systems are revving up. that's why people wait for 15 minutes afterwards so we can keep eyes on them. ain't that right? >> exactly. >> public health for the win. >> all right. and the doctor joins us live now. this is your second shot. first one was three weeks ago. so how you feeling? any side effects? anything? >> well, larry, off the bat, i will tell you it's been about eight and a half hours since that shot. i'm feeling a little fatigued right now. i feel a little drained for lack of a better word. but i would not call this an adverse reaction or a side effect. this is a normal immune response. my immune system is reacting to the vaccine, revving up to make antibodies, and this is a normal

feeling i'm having right now. >> that's good for people to know, especially if they haven't had either shot yet. roll-out of the vaccine. let's talk big picture. unfortunately, a lot like our national pandemic response, an uncoordinated state by state mess. and today dr. fauci said the guidelines for each tier are just too strict. it's slowing everything down. do you agree with his assessment? >> i agree with not only his assessment, i agree with your assessment as well. we've had months to prepare for this. i don't understand why there are so many bottlenecks. it's fortunate that we're now finally talking about them. people rm cog out and saying california's vaccinated something like 25% of people based on our supply. and you look at the country overall, we only have 10 million vaccinated. i agree with dr. fauci, especially when you hear of stories of vaccine sitting around in freezers or fridges, not being given to health care workers who we have phase 1b people who can get them right away. i heard a story where someone didn't want to come in and get

the vaccine. so the pharmacist ran around and said do you want your shot? otherwise i'll have to dispose of this vaccine. that should not be happening anywhere. i do think states should look critically at their supply and who is next. >> given what question have here, a slow roll-out. when might we actually approach herd immunity? are we looking at summer? are we looking at fall? what can we expect? >> well, larry, if we do some live on tv mental math right now, president-elect biden's plan of getting 100 million people vaccinated in 100 days, i think it's feasible. i think it's actually possible if we start revving up max vaccinations sites to get a million people a day. we need 70 to 80% of our vaccination vaccinated. we got about 10 million. we probably need another 270 million people. 270 out of 365. i'm going call it probably end of summer, early fall. >> okay. you lost me when you started talking about the math. fall. we're shooting for fall. okay.

>> or earlier. things could go really well. >> i'll take that. a photo of you after you took the show. now can i assume that once vaccinated, we will all be able to do one-arm hand stands like this, is that correct? >> i think everyone will figuratively be able to do some type of dance of jubilation. mine happens to be a high school break dancing lay, i know you're a fit guy. and i think the overwhelming feeling you're going have of science winning will get you some decent dance moves. i'd love to see the picture. >> that was the arm that was not vaccinated that you were propping yourself up on, is that correct? >> it is. my vaccinated hand, which is the left hand is throwing out the 2. that for being my second shot. >> okay. i love the photo. i hope to duplicate it at some point. as you know, have i the strength of ten men, but they're ten old

men. it's not that easy anymore. >> and i will send you a bruce lee shirt if you wear a lee shirt when you get your shot. >> that's a given. be like water, my friend. dr. alok patel, thanks, my friend. >> i love that quote. thank you. >> i should let you know, today there was a push to vaccinate one of san francisco's most vulnerable communities. more than 550 residents and caretakers from the san francisco towers senior living facility received the covid-19 vaccine. residents practiced social distancing as they waited to get their shot. they say they're really looking forward to seeing their loved ones in person once again. >> it's a relief to know that at some point we're goingt asgod v. >> residents and staff will
