those globes were different. >> i'd say so. amy and tina did their best. they tried to make them feel just as normal as possible it wasn't an easy task because they were on separate coasts some dressed to the nines, others took a more casual approach viola looked great everyone did we'll hee highlights on all that just ahead first, the fight against the coronavirus. as we speak, these workers in kentucky with packing up and shipping out vials of the ne johnson & johnson vaccine, the third now approved for emergency use in this country. in a moment, we'll talk live with the head of johnson & johnson. first, stephanie gosk joins us with the very latest stephanie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah in the past few weeks here at the javits center, they've had to cancel appointments and reschedule with supply problems. now with moderna and pfizer pledging to increase shipments, and new emergency approval of

johnson & johnson, there is hope this morning, just a little bit of hope, that maybe this supply problem will soon be over. with a third covid vaccine now approved for emergency use, there is new hope that the effort to vaccinate america will speed up johnson & johnson set to deliver 4 million doses of its vaccine this week. the fda advisory committee on vaccine practices, recommending the vaccine for people 18 or older. >> you have three higher efficacious vaccines if you go to a place and you have j&j and that's the one that's available now, i'd take it i'd personally do the same thing. people need to get vaccinated as quickly and expeditiously as possible. had a 72% >> reporter: in clinical trials, j&j's vaccine demonstrated a 72% efficacy in the united states and was 100% effective at preventing covid-related deaths. the vaccine can be stored at regular refrigeration levels and requires just one dose. >> johnson & johnson is going to be a game-changer.

the fact that we can fully vaccinate everyone in just one shot, it is just going to get us to the finish line that much faster. >> reporter: still, for now, getting shots into arms hasn't been a smooth process. in washington, d.c., the mayor and health officials say technical issues with their vendor caused their site to crash, as people tried to sign up for appointments. while california, which faced delays and issues with distribution of its vaccines, is set to roll out a new statewide network today, run by blue shield as more states lift restrictions, health experts warn that even though daily cases and deaths are declining, they still remain too high. >> now is not a time to relax restrictions >> reporter: johnson & johnson pledges they'll get 4 million doses out this week, but officials caution that that supply could be spotty in the next few weeks, as well. still, the company says they'll get 20 million doses out by the end of the month they also say they're going to begin trials with pregnant women and children under the age of 18

guys, back to you. >> stephanie, thank you. with that, we welcome alex gorsky, johnson & johnson's ceo and chairman of the board. mr. gorsky, good morning good to have you with us on this big day. >> savannah, it's great to be here it's hard to believe you and i first started this conversation about a year ago here we are, now having received approval for our vaccine literally, it's on trucks as we're talking. >> i remember that conversation very well. as you mentioned, here we are. how quickly do you think shots can get in arms? do you expect it to be later today, tomorrow, later this week >> well, we think, literally, within about the next 24 to 48 hours, americans should start receiving shots in arms. they're literally rolling out with the trucks as we speak. again, this is the culmination of more than a year of day and night efforts on the part of our physicians, our scientists, our engineers, to have a safe, effective, single-shot, common

refrigeration vaccine available for patients here but for people around the world. >> the u.s. has ordered 100 million doses of this vaccine. you were initially expected to be able to deliver 10 millio vaccines right away, and then 60 million by spring. you ran into production delays by some accounts, you're a couple months behind schedule. do you think you'll be able to catch up, make up for that lost time are you confident you're going to be able to deliver on time? >> absolutely, savannah. as i said, we're shipping 4 million literally as we speak. we're committed to doing 100 million by june of this year, and up to 1 billion by june 2021 let's remember, this started literally as a genetic code information that was passed on in email 12 months ago since then, we've been able to do extensive clinical trials involving up to 50,000 patients. trial sites around the world i really can't think of another time in our history where we've been able to ramp up at this kind of pace what's also important to

remember, when we say 100 million doses by june, that means 100 million vaccinations, patients that will have been treated. so we're excited we're going to work hard to make sure we follow through on all those commitments. again, we think it's really important for our country and the world. >> i'd love to have you take on this issue of effectiveness. we know that the johnson & johnson vaccine in trials was shown to be 66% overall effective, 72% in this country 100% effective against preventing hospitalization and death. important to note. but if you look at just overall effectiveness, people have learned by now that moderna and pfizer are over 90%. they may look at johnson & johnson and say, 66% effective, 72%? maybe i want the one that's super great, not just great. how do you address that perception problem, that somehow, this might be a second tier vaccine >> savannah, i think we've learned a lot about covid-19 look, science and the numbers can almost be overwhelming

what's really important to remember about this vaccine is that when we conducted our clinical trials in october of 2020 to about january of 2021, this was during the time when the incidents rate of the virus was really about at its peak we also conducted our trial around the world 40% of our patients were in latin america, and about 15% were in south africa, where over 90% of those patients were infected with the south african variant that we really didn't even fully understand or appreciate earlier in the year so when you look at the numbers around the vaccine, the ones that are most important is that it works 85% of the time against severe disease, and it kept all the patients out of the hospital and from dying, even against these new and really challenging variants so, you know, again, we think that consumers, that patients here in this country, let alone around the world, should have a lot of confidence, a lot of trust, in knowing they're

getting a very safe and effective, one-shot vaccine. >> very quickly, before i let you go, we just mentioned j&j is expected to start doing trials, tests on pregnant women and adolescents. how quickly might you get results on that? >> well, this is a start we're literally in conversations with the fda as we speak we're looking at its use in pregnant women we're looking at its use in children above the age of 12, further along, even younger. we're going to make sure we follow the data, we follow the science, but we're very confident in those programs. so over the remainder of 2021, we'll be able to gather that information, submit it to regulators, and hopefully have it available for children and women around the world. >> johnson & johnson ceo alex gorsky, it is a good bookend you were here at the beginning, and you're here on the day the j&j vaccine gets shipped out we really appreciate your time, sir. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> we'll have more on the vaccines and the virus in the next half hour, including why the rollout has been so successful in one of the most

remote areas of the country. now to former president donald trump's return to the spotlight, making his first public appearance since leaving office he used his speech to talk to a conservative group to attack president biden and suggest his own political ambitions are far from over. senior washington correspondent hallie jackson has details good morning. >> hoda, good morning to you so the former president didn't just go after democrats, he blasted some republicans he's angry with for their votes on impeachment, suggesting he'll take aim at their races. he hinted about his own potential run in 2024, even as he refused to back away from his claims, that are not true, about the last election. >> do you miss me yet? do you miss me >> reporter: in front of an adoring crowd, who spent the weekend posing with a golden trump statue, the real donald trump hinting he's not done with

his political journey. >> it is far from being over >> reporter: and not done fanning the flames of conspiracy theories by lying about the election results. >> as you know, they just lost the white house, but it's one of those things but who knows? who knows? i may even decide to beat them for a third time, okay >> reporter: former president trump, who did not beat democrats in 2020, making his first speech since leaving office ticking off a kind of enemies list of republicans he sees as disloyal for voting against him during his second impeachment trial. >> mitt romney, little ben sasse, richard burr and, of course, the warmonger, a person that loves seeing our troops fighting, liz cheney how about that get rid of them all. >> reporter: still, he is pledging whatever he does next, he'll do it under the banner of the gop. >> they kept saying, he's going to start a brand-new party

we have the republican party it's going to unite and be stronger than ever before. i am not starting a new party. >> reporter: the former president blasting the current president on his handling of the pandemic, while explicitly urging people to get vaccinated. >> everybody, go get your shot >> reporter: all of it red meat for the pro-trump base gathered at the conservative conference in orlando, featuring a who's who of trump allies. notably not there, former vice president mike pence, who was invited but declined, and former u.n. ambassador nikki haley, widely believed to be planning her own presidential run in 2024 some republicans do warn that cpac, that conference, is not indicative of where the party as a whole is but its annual straw poll this year overwhelmingly favored the former president interestingly, 95% of the attendees said they wanted the gop to keep moving the trump agenda forward, fewer people, 68%, said they wanted former president trump himself to run again.

this morning, new york governor andrew cuomo is under new scrutiny after a second former staff member is alleging sexual harassment the new accuser, 25-year-old charlotte bennett, a former cuomo executive assistant and health policy adviser. saying the governor verbally harassed her last spring with questions about her relationships and her sex life he asked me if i believed if age made a difference in relationships and asked if i had ever been with an older man. bennett telling "the new york times" and confirmed by nbc. bennett did not allege the governor ever touched her. after denying the allegations late sunday, the governor stating, i acknowledge some of the things i have said may have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation. to the extent anyone felt that way, i am truly sorry about that it follows allegations by another former aide, lindsey

boylan in an essay on "medium" last week, she described two separate interactions with the governor she says he asked her to play strip poker in 2017 and gave her an uninvited kiss in his office a year later cuomo rejecting these allegations as quite simply false. the embattled governor, once winning praise for his response to the pandemic, even writing a book on the topic, now also under fire in new york for questions over the coronavirus death count in nursing homes, and his controversy policy of sending hospitalized, infected patients back into homes early on >> all the deaths in the nursing homes and in the hospitals were always fully, publicly, and accurately reported. >> reporter: now following pressure from fellow democrats, cuomo has agreed to refer the harassment matter to the state attorney general's office, to appoint an independent investigator the white house weighing in on the matter sunday.

>> president biden has been consistent, that he believes that every woman should be heard, should be treated with respect and with dignity there should be an independent review looking into these allegations. >> reporter: now, this is just one of many troubles facing the governor the feds are looking into the nursing home situation, and there are calls from both sides of the aisle for cuomo to lose his emergency pandemic powers. he's got a lot on his plate. craig? >> anne thompson this morning for us thank you. all right. let's get our first check of the weather from al. did you walk this morning? >> it's a little wet out there >> yeah, true. >> if you were thinking winter is just about gone, hold on. >> no! >> stop it. >> boo. >> heavy rain stretching from texas all the way into the northeast. behind this, we have much colder air. rain rapidly moves off the east coast, but then another cold front, arctic front, brings in snow squalls across the great

jacqueline van ovost knew the sky would not be her limit we know the old need for speed was that what fascinated you >> it was, frankly, when you strap on an airplane, it doesn't matter how tall you are, right, how big you are, if you're a male or a female you get airborne, and just that feeling of freedom, being up there in the quietness of the airspace just inspired me. >> reporter: you're the highest ranking woman in the military. has that sunk in >> i would say, no, it hasn't sunk in. frankly, it is quite lonely. i'd love to have a few more women here with me but i recognize that it's important to have firsts and onlys, right as young women looking up, it's hard to be what you can't see. >> reporter: growing up, van ovost's father owned a flight operation in florida, where she fell in love with being in the cockpit. getting her pilot's license before she could drive a car >> that passion for aviation, it

drew me to the air force, but i also wanted to understand the physics of flight. i was interested, sort of a geek when it came to engineering. >> reporter: van ovost graduated from the air force academy in 1988 at that time, women were not allowed to fly fighter jets. she found a way around the rule. >> when i graduated from pilot training, in my wish list i wrote down every u.s. fighter that we had and i made them tell me no which they did then i got an the airplane that i knew was going to ensure that if i did well, i could become a test pilot in our air force. as a test pilot, i'd be able to fly those fighters >> reporter: which is exactly what she did van ovost became a test pilot. for the next 30 plus years, she climbed the ranks and eventually commanded at nearly every level of leadership in the air force she's logged more than 4,000 hours of flight time in more than 30 different aircraft today, she runs the air force's air mobility command

i'm getting the feeling it's not a good idea to tell you no, you can't do that. >> i really do try to explain to people why it is not a good idea to say no to me. you know, hey, that's why doors were closed, now doors are open. when we first opened combat aviation to women, i walked into the flight room, i was accepted because the law now said that women could fly in combat. but when i sat at the table for the briefs, i didn't feel like my voice mattered. like they even cared about my perspective when it came to tactical maneuvering nowadays, when a woman walks into the flight room, she's not only accepted, her advice is asked for across the table >> reporter: to help open those doors, general ovost and other female leaders within the air force have worked to address outdated rules and policies. >> do we want to know why women were having issues with their shoulders and necks? because we gave them men's

equipment to fight with. we're allowing women to fly when they're pregnant for a longer period of time than before we're developing a maternity flight suit. and we developed a two-piece flight suit to make it easier. >> reporter: van ovost was part of the effort to, free the bun and end the strict hair requirements causing some female airmen hair loss and headaches, something she herself experienced early in her career. >> it'd cause a headache after half an hour of flying i realize now that we don't need to put up with that. >> reporter: it took somebody to come in and say, "but why is it like that? does it need to be like that?" it took someone like you. >> me and the entire women's initiative team we had at the air force level. >> reporter: general van ovost says diversity within the ranks is an war fighting necessity. >> given the wicked hard problems we have in national security, we need everyone at the table, every voice heard. >> reporter: sure signs of progress, but she says there is more work to be done there has been a lot of

reporting over the years about sexual assault against women in the military obviously, there has been sexism in the military. where do you think the military stands right now dealing with some of those tough issues for women? >> as a leader, it is my job to set the standards and the core values, and it is up to everyone else to live up to those core values those who foster this environment of harassment are not tolerated. while we are shaping policies and we've made strides, we have a ways to go. >> reporter: you're not here to tell us you never had the doubting voice you said, you had it, but you kept on. what is it inside you that enabled you to do that >> i think about my inspirations, right? people like sally ride amelia earhardt. janet, first four-star air force officer. i think about what they went through and how i can do it, too. >> reporter: i want to go back to 1984. you were featured in the "miami
