7:02 am
good morning.os angeles where crews have been busy getting everything in place for the big night. janai is at union station and will have much more for us on the oscars coming up. but we're going to start here with the latest on the pandemic. more than 30 states are now taking steps to restart vaccinating people with the johnson & johnson vaccine. this after the federal government lifted its pause which was put in place following 15 cases of blood clots, including three deaths. >> as of this morning, 53% of adults in the u.s. have received at least one vaccine dose while almost 36% have been fully vaccinated. those numbers are increasing daily, but more slowly than they have been, possibly indicating vaccine hesitancy among some groups of americans. we begin our coverage with abc's trevor ault outside a mass vaccination site here in new york. trevor, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. now most states are back to
7:03 am
having three arrows in their quiver fighting this virus with the return of the johnson & johnson vaccine, which is also the most efficient at getting a person fully vaccinated, but we are seeing a potentially concerning trend just ahead and that some states are already reporting a dwindling demand for the vaccine. johnson & johnson's one-shot l 24 hours after the pause was lifted. >> my arm was sore right after they gave it to me, but that went away after about an hour, and so far, so good. >> reporter: emily murray from detroit, one of the first in line. >> you have to decide if the risk is worth it to you. >> reporter: more than 30 states offering to offer the shot once again. indianapolis motor speedway administering them at this massive vaccine drive. >> we're trying to reach as many people as we can. the science is really clear that it's really safe and effective vaccines. >> reporter: it took 11 days for
7:04 am
federal health officials to lift the j&j pause. out of 8 million administered doses, the cdc found 15 women suffered from a rare blood clot after getting the shot. three dying however no definitive link between the vaccine and this clots risk and the agency says it's confident the vaccine meets their standards for safety, effectiveness and quality but at some vaccine sites they have an influx of dose, others like the fairgrounds in volusia county, florida, are choosing to shut down. >> we're seeing our demand slow down. because of availability we made the decision to close our site at the end of the month. >> reporter: this morning more reminders the virus is still an ever present threat. this woman was hesitant to get at 24 pregnant eventually cted ending up on a ventilator. she's since been taken off and sharing this stark warning? >> do not wait until it's too
7:05 am
late because it can go so bad so fast and you might not have a chance to be able to be there for your kids. >> reporter: and she tells us thankfully her baby is now doing well. most of those 15 women who suffered blood clots were in their 30s and the cdc says as part of lifting the pause they want women in that age group to be aware of these potential very rare side effects so they can make the most informed decision about which vaccine they want, dan. >> getting the word out for informed decisions. her story is incredibly powerful. trevor, thank you so much. staying with the pandemic, we want to turn overseas to india where they are setting truly horrifying records for cases and for deaths. the hospital system there is tro now using train cars as makeshift wards. abc's julia macfarlane is tracking it all from london. julia, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan.
7:06 am
india is gasping for breath. 2,600 dead in a 24-hour period. that is a record number. the country recording nearly a million new cases in just three days. that's nearly half of all new global cases of the virus, and we are really seeing india's health care system buckling under that kind of pressure. hospitals in the indian capital of delhi, which are out of critical oxygen supply are turning away patients. others are treating them on gurneys in the streets. officials now even having to repurpose train cars and make them into makeshift field hospital units and trying desperately to ship canisters of oxygen across the country to hospitals in need, and yet that death toll keeps rising, leading to mass cremations in the street. now, the world is watching this crisis unfold. france, hong kong, canada and the united kingdom have all suspended flights to and from india. top doctors including dr. ashish jha is calling on the biden administration which is sitting
7:07 am
on tens of millions of unused astrazeneca vaccines to ship those stocks to india and other countries in need. whit? >> we're hearing more calls for that as well. julia macfarlane for us, thank you so much. we do appreciate it. joining us now is u.s. surgeon general dr. vivek murthy. dr. murthy, thanks so much for joining us on a sunday. we do appreciate it. i want to get back to j&j though. so now that shots of the johnson & johnson vaccine have been cleared to resume, one of the biggest challenges will be restoring the public's confidence in the vaccine. we know potential blood clots are extremely rare, but i think a lot of people want to know how treatable are they if defected early? >> it's good to be with you this morning as well, and i'm so glad you asked about the johnson & johnson vaccine. we have been through, you know, an investigation here of the drug to understand whether these dangerous blood clots, in fact, were linked to the vaccine and how common they were, and the good news is that coming out of this investigation, what we understand now is that these
7:08 am
rare, dangerous blood clots are, in fact, still quite rare. we're talking about 15 cases out of more than 8 million people who have received the johnson & johnson vaccine. so there's a couple of takeaways here i think for the american people. one is that the safety system in this case was working for us. it was a small signal that was detected and a small number of cases at that time, six. the pause was initiated and an investigation was conducted, and ultimately a conclusion was made. in fact, a unanimous conclusion from the advisory committee that everyone believed it was important to restart the vaccine and make it available for everyone. so that's very important to know. people should also know though that this rare, but dangerous blood clot is treatable, it's serious though, and so part of the reason for the pause was to make sure that doctors and other health professionals knew how to identify it and understand the proper treatments because the
7:09 am
treatments are not the typical blood thinners that you receive for clots. they're different, and we want health professionals to know that. >> that is important information too. as vaccine supply ramps up though, we are seeing demand go down. the average number of daily vaccines administered dropped nearly 16% in the last week and a half. how worried are you that vaccine hesitancy is really starting to take hold here? >> well, i think the important thing to know is that we have come a long way. we've vaccinated more than 50% of adults in america with at least one shot, and we know that, you know, even though there are millions of people out there who still want a vaccine and who now that we have eligibility of everyone 16 and up, you know, for the vaccine, you know, we still have a lot of work to do because there are people who have questions about the vaccines, people wondering if it's important for them to get vaccinated, and that's one of the reasons why we built a national public education campaign, which we've been launching in various stages, and one part of that campaign is our
7:10 am
trusted messengers campaign. we have something called a covid-19 community corps where we have faith leaders and doctors and nurses and sports leagues and community organizations all working with us to get the right information to the people they love, to communities so that people have accurate information. they also know that it's really important now that we all get vaccinated. that's how we're going to turn this pandemic around, and finally, keep this in mind. if we truly want to protect our country, and we want to get past covid and we want to be able to see our friends again, go back to work again, go to the grocery store and go out without worrying about getting sick, then what we've got to do is not only get vaccinated ourselves, but we've got to turn around and look at our loved ones, look at our friends and family and ask ated, and then help them get th help them make an appointment to get vaccinated because that's ultimately how we're going to protect each other and our communities. >> dr. murthy, thank you for your time this morning. we do appreciate it.
7:11 am
eva, over to you. to politics now and president biden's speech before congress coming up on wednesday just before he marks his 100th day in office. the covid crisis front and center every day as well as the ongoing problem at the southern border. abc white house correspondent maryalice parks has more. >> reporter: in his first joint address to congress this week, president biden expected to talk about what he's done, and what he hopes to do next. he came into office promising to lead the nation out of the coronavirus pandemic. now in his first 100 days, 200 million vaccine shots into arms, and a massive recovery package which gave millions of americans tax breaks and stimulus payments done. his big push today, a jobs and infrastructure plan, but the devastating surge in gun violence and national attention on policing this year spotlighting biden's unkept promises too. >> the other problems we're talking about from immigration to guns and the other things you mentioned. >> reporter: the president said he would send a bill to congress
7:12 am
on suing gun manufacturers, but that hasn't come. neither has a commission on police reform he had pledged. the president's new term defined by a crushing surge of migrants pressing the border. he tasked his vice president kamala harris with leading the response, and focusing directly on root causes leading so many to flee. president biden making good on his campaign promises to roll back many of president trump's most extreme border policies, but now the white house racing to set up new shelters like this one in long beach, california, to temporarily house unaccompanied minors who crossed alone. >> the idea that i'm going to say, which i would never do, if an unaccompanied child ends up at the border, we're just going to let them starve to death and stay on the other side, no previous administration did that either except trump. >> reporter: this weekend, new video released from border patrol showing desperate and extreme measures migrants take. three adults lowered over a
7:13 am
piece of border wall with ropes. two children seen hanging on. our matt gutman reporting from guatemala this week where drought and hurricanes have decimated farmland. now, vice president kamala harris planning tomorrow to speak to guatemala's president, aain, looking at root causes like gang violence and poverty. leading so many to take a dangerous journey. dan? >> maryalice, thank you very much. we have newly released numbers this morning from an abc news/"washington post" poll. look at this. 52% of americans approve of joe biden's work in office as he approaches the 100-day mark. that is ten points higher than donald trump at this point in his presidency, but 17 points lower than barack obama. so let's bring in our abc news political director, rick klein. rick, good morning. what's your take on these top line numbers from the poll? >> dan, president biden's political honeymoon appears to be ending, if it was there in the first place. what's striking is at the same
7:14 am
time say president biden is in so much stronger position than his predecessor, but so much weaker than almost everyone else that we've seen at this point in the presidency, and the easiest culprit to blame here is partisanship. we've never before seen in polling not even 100 days in in the trump administration, partisan divides dominate the approval of a president or disapproval of a president like we are right now for president biden, and that, of course, is problematic for a president who has promised unity, talked about bipartisanship and has talked about republican support he sees out there in the country for his policy initiatives. you're starting to see that slip away, and for a president now at 100 days who's going to give that big speech on wednesday, his opportunity to sort of reset his presidency, there aren't a lot of numbers here to suggest that the country at large, republicans as well as democrats are embracing what biden is trying to do. >> let me just follow up on that because if we dig deeper into the numbers, we see that while president biden gets reasonably high marks for his handling of the pandemic, 64%, the numbers
7:15 am
drop quite dramatically when it comes to his $2 trillion stimulus plan, as well as the work on immigration, and the situation at the southern border, so do you think he can turn that around? it sounds like you're saying no. >> that's the central challenge that he faces right now for this next phase of his administration. look, the view a lot of folks at the white house, a lot of democrats even, and republicans, if you don't get covid right, then there's no sense trying to do anything else. that is the biggest thing. so if you can get that under control, then you have the opportunity to build on that. we've seen in this poll, deep skepticism about whether biden is trying to grow government too large, too fast. a lot of concern about some of the scope of his programs and some mixed messages. 2-1 margin americans say they want president biden to make major concessions to get republicans on board. of course, no republicans voted for that covid bill. >> rick klein, thank you so much for your analysis on a sunday morning. really appreciate it. i want to remind everybody tune in to "this week" later this morning.
7:16 am
george stephanopoulos will interview representative karen bass about the push for federal police reform in the wake of the chauvin trial. plus, dr. anthony fauci discusses the resumption of the j&j covid vaccine. and tune in on wednesday night for our live coverage of president biden in his first address to a joint session of congress. that starts at 9:00 eastern right here on abc. dan, turning now to a check of the weather. rob marciano is out there in the field braving the -- >> hey. >> wait a minute. >> what's up? >> i didn't recognize you. who is this clean-shaven man? >> how are you doing? >> it's our friend rob. >> amazing. a little shave and you get to eat at the dining room table. >> i know. they let the dog back in the house. >> shave and the vaccination just to make it clear. ♪ shave and a vaccination, do downstairs ♪ >> hi, guys. good to see you. we got some hail coming down in decatur and they've got to shave off the trees. look at the leaves being shed here. newly foliaged and coming down. baseball-sized hail in some spots there along the florida/georgia line. lex intergroup. in miller county, georgia there was major damage coming through
