7:11 am
trying to splish two things. acomp accomplish two things. a message they will not be intimidating what the high technology uses against them. a lot of clips in this video. i think they're saying we're not going to stop because you're bringing this high technology to bear against us and then trying to intimidate. what they've been trying to do all along with the beheading. what can be done in response? not much. unless the coalition is willing to put more ground troops into iraq and possibly into syria. there is very little we can do to respond. >> how much would it take? >> 100,000. that will simply does not exist here and it doesn't exist in the other coalition countries. >> why didn't it exist there? >> it exists -- the other coalition countries being western europe what i'm primarily talking about. >> the u.s. has the most powerful military in the world and we're joined by some of the most powerful forces in the region to get rid of isis. i think a lot of people look at this and say, why can't we get rid of them?

7:14 am
clearly from senator rube yoeshgs vaccines work, protect children, no evidence it causes autism and then senator rand paul saying first on cnbc he's steen cause mental disorders in children and then backtracked that statement. what's going on in the party? >> oh, my goodness. i think -- well i think the overview is that since about 2008 both parties got themselves very busy being sensitive to the fears about vaccines having to do with a possible connection to autism. so they're being very sensitive and they're being very understanding, and six years later, what you have is an outbreak of measles, because everybody was being so sensitive. hollywood stars were involved. politicians who knew nothing about the science of the issue were involved but you have -- >> you have the "wall street journal," which you write for now, really take on chris christie's comments yesterday, today taking on rand paul
7:15 am
calling this the weird science of pauls and christie's and their lack of information? >> fair enough. look to my mind and the mind of most people who have been following this the efficacy of vaccinations for measles is very, very clear. it works, do it protect children. especially little babies who are between the day they are born and 12 months who can't be vaccinated yet, and are vulnerable to germs carried by kids whose parents, for whatever, perhaps strange reason decided they didn't have to vaccinate the kids. >> are you surprised, peggy that measles and vaccinations are a part of the political conversation number one? and number two, does it damage anybody's chances? are you surprised? >> am i surprised? yes. this is absurd and bizarre and like are we going to be saying nobody should have a polio
7:16 am

7:19 am
in some ways bigger than the issue of mitochondrial transfer. >> reporter: it's important to say that the dna of the so-called third parent in the egg would not affect the characteristics of the child, it would, however norah, give that kid a chance to have is a normal and healthy life. >> important distinction. mark, thank you so much. 7:19. ahead, the unexpected sequel from the author of "to kill

wake up west coast. good morning to our viewers. it is wednesday, february 4th, 2015. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there's more real news ahead including the first tv interview with the new surgeon general dr. vivek murthy on the measles outbreak. first here's a look at today's "eye opener." >> the number of deceased in the train itself dropped from six to five. that was good news. >> a very active investigation. police trying to determine how the suv ended up on the train tracks. >> that plane leaving the taiwanese capital. the last known communication included the words mayday mayday. >> people here are demanding vengeance. the jordanian air force carried out several air strikes against
8:01 am
isis targets. >> what can be done in response? not much. unless the coalition is willing to put more ground troops into iraq, and possibly into syria. >> this is absurd and bizarre and it's like next are we going to be saying nobody should have a polio vaccine? this is crazy. >> it's a highly charged debate here. and there's some who fear this is the beginning of a slippery slope toward genetically engineering. >> the biggest mistake i ever made was retiring. sitting at home every day watching "ellen." >> i've got you recorded. i watch you at night when i really need the help. >> yeah well i'm watching kimmel. >> yeah, well -- >> today's "eye opener at 8" is presented by nationwide insurance. >> ready, cue charlie. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. new york's governor tells cbs six people died when a crowded train hit an suv.
8:02 am
survivors say last night's crash was horrifying. seven other people were seriously hurt. >> one local official said at the scene he is amazed that anyone got out alive. it was the worst accident in the railroad's 32-year history. and ntsb teams went to look at the signals and the gates at the crossing. 20 people are still missing after a deadly plane crash in taiwan. you can see the transasia airways plane falling from the sky. look at this dramatic dash cam video. at least 23 people were killed. another 15 are hurt. the plane hit a taxi on this bridge in taipei before crashing into a river. this morning rescue crews are looking for more survivors and victims. dr. vivek murthy is making history. he is the first surgeon general of indian descent. he's also one of the youngest in history in that position had been vacant for more than a year. the surgeon general is the nation's chief spokesman on public health issues that includes expanding measles outbreak. there are at least 131 cases spanning 14 states. the debate over vaccinations is
8:03 am
intensifying among both parents and politicians. dr. murthy joins us now from washington in his first television interview. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. it's good to be with you and norah and gayle. >> well, it's a pleasure to have you. tell me how concerned you are about the spread of measles. >> well i'm very concerned, charlie, about the spread of measles, and about this particular outbreak that we're having. as you know we eliminated measles in the year 2000 in the united states. and that was a very important time. but we've seen a resurgence of measles in the united states. and you know there's a good news about this is that we know how to eliminate measles, and at the heart of that strategy is getting vaccinated. >> mr. surgeon general, you don't see an outbreak of measles in states where they have mandatory vaccinations. you see some of the largest outbreaks in states where they have personal health exemptions or religious exemptions. do we need to rethink those? >> well this has been a concern for many including myself.
8:04 am
that we've seen increasing rates of exemptions among clusters in our country. and the key point i want to make here is that while the overall vaccination rate in the united states is still high what matters is that we have pockets throughout the country where those vaccination rates are low. and when you're in a pocket with low vaccination rates that's when you find yourself at greater risk of getting measles. >> why do you think there is so much confusion over the vaccines in the first place? and what can we do to alleviate a lot of the public fears? >> well there has been a lot of confusion, as you mentioned. but the key point i want to make about the vaccine is that it is safe and effective. and there have been rumors started by a study that came out of england a few years ago that made the claim that there was a link between autism and the measles vaccine, or more specifically the mmr vaccine. we now know that that research study was debunked multiple times in multiple sources. it was found to be a fraudulent study and many medical experts
8:05 am
including the institute of medicine have weighed in saying that the measles vaccine is safe. that it does not have any evidence that it's linked to autism. and -- >> i'm sorry. >> go ahead. >> i want you to finish. i thought you'd finished. >> the key point that we want to make here is that the vaccine is safe and effective. and in fact quite effective. if you get both doses of the vaccine as is recommended then you have a protection rate of 97% which is pretty good. and to contrast that with the fact that if you don't get vaccinated and you are exposed to measles then you have a 90% of catching the illness. >> when politicians say things like this is from senator rand paul i've heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines, does that help the conversation? >> well i think what we need to focus on in this conversation is the science. because the science ultimately more than personal anecdotes and more than anything else is what should drive our decisions as
8:06 am
individuals and as families. and look i understand that there are parents who are concerned about vaccines and i know that that concern comes from ultimately just wanting to do what's best for your kid, and wanting to protect your child. but what the science tells us is very clearly is that the best way to protect your child, and to protect our children, other members of the community, is to get vaccinated. it is safe and it is effective. >> mr. surgeon general, while we have you here i wanted to get you on the record about whether you support the legalization of marijuana, and what concerns do you have? >> well, marijuana is an interesting story that's unfolding in our country right now. and we have, you know had a long history of discussion around the benefits and risks of marijuana. we have experiments that are going on in many states right now where medical marijuana has been legalized and in at least a few states where it has been legalized -- >> we know all of that. we want to know your position mr. surgeon general, with all due respect. >> my position is that we have to see what the science tells us about the efficacy of marijuana.
8:07 am
and i think we're going to get a lot more data on that. we have some preliminary data showing that for certain medical conditions and symptoms that marijuana can be helpful. so i think that we have to use that data to drive policymaking. and i'm very interested to see where that data takes us. >> dr. vivek murthy. we thank you. during your first live interview with us here on cbs. >> thank you so much. great to be with you. >> thank you. >> ahead on "cbs this morning" hollywood's new power players are in studio 57. they're having a good time it seems in the greem room. amazon ceo jeff bezos, actor jeffrey tambor and the creator of the ground-breaking
