>> turn to the impeachment trial, president trump's impeachment trial. if you were still a senator, would you vote to convict him? >> look, i ran like hell to defeat him because i thought he was unfit to be president. i watched what everybody else watched, what happened when that crew invaded the united states congress. but i'm not in the senate now, i'll let the senate make that decision. >> something you do have oversight of, should former president trump still receive te fings? i thinknkre's no need for him to have the intelligence briefings. what value is giving him the briefing? what impact does he have at all, other than the fact he might slip and say something.

3:33 am
making $300,000 or $250,000. it's up to phasing out. >> turn to the impeachment trial, president trump's impeachment trial. if you were still a senator, would you vote to convict him? >> look, i ran like hell to defeat him because i thought he was unfit to be president. i watched what everybody else watched, what happened when that crew invaded the united states congress. but i'm not in the senate now, i'll let the senate make that decision. >> something you do have oversight of as president, should former president trump still receive intelligence briefings? >> i think not. i think there's no need for him to have the intelligence briefings. what value is giving him the intelligence briefing? what impact does he have at all, other than the fact he might slip and say something? >> do you think a year from now

3:35 am
rate of 1.3 million doses a day, it's going to take almost a year to get there. can we wait that long? >> no, we can't. that's why -- one of the disappointments when we came into office was the circumstance relating to how the administration was handling covid was even more dire than we thought. >> the trump administration? >> the trump administration. we thought they indicated there was a lot more vaccine available and it didn't turn out to be the case. that's why we ramped up everywhere we can. got a call through commissioner goodell saying we could have all 32 nfl stadiums available for mass vaccinations. we are -- >> you're going to use them? nfl stadiums to vaccinate? >> absolutely. put it this way, i'll tell my team they're available, and i believe we'll use them. it was one thing if we had enough vaccine and we didn't. so we're pushing to get more

3:41 am
getting into the game. allison aubrey has that story. >> reporter: gillette stadium near boston is not hosting a football game. instead of shots to the end zone, the action here is getting shots into arms. how many people will be vaccinated here today? >> it's going to be more than 2,000 people vaccinated here today right across what you see here. >> reporter: dr. awandi is a surgeon and doctor at school of public health. what is your hope for how many people at max capacity? >> definitely over 5,000 a day and we'll go north of there as much as we can. >> reporter: back in december, he spotted trouble. the covid-19 vaccines had been developed in record time but there was no playbook to administer them quickly. >> to be honest about it, it's
3:42 am
all breakthrough, no follow-through. >> reporter: many are confused how to sign up, where to go, and states have been scrambling to scale up. but he saw a way to help and picked up the phone. >> i contacted john and robert kraft. >> reporter: owners of the patriots, explained how they had scaled up testing. >> we saw people couldn't get tests, hospitals couldn't bring it forward and we created a partnership, all about being the contractor to bring this to scale. >> reporter: now can use the same playbook for vaccinations, just need the someone to loan them the space. >> of course we jumped at it, we're really excited we have the privilege of being able to be part of this. >> reporter: bob kraft likes what he sees. >> i think every college in the country should do it, every
3:43 am
municipality. >> reporter: and on friday the nfl said it will make all of its stadiums available. along with coors field in denver, state farm stadium near phoenix and dodger stadium in los angeles, a growing list of mega sites will be part of the solution. football players used to two-minute drill on the field. this looks like it here. >> had to learn to do the two-minute drill 2,000 times a day. >> reporter: compan he cofounded has brought on teams of vaccinators and support staff to match people with appointments. >> this holds ten doses. >> reporter: oversees part of the operation. >> all of the different syringes, a sticker and record and six hours to use them. >> reporter: appointments schedules as doses become
3:44 am
available. takes just a few minutes to move each person through. >> if someone feels dizzy or needs medical attention, we have two different teams with emts and paramedics, one on each side. >> reporter: and to mark the occasion -- >> we can invite them into the stadium. >> reporter: is this the celebratory moment? >> it is, to communicate the importance of getting vaccinated not just for ourselves but for our family and community. for all of us. >> reporter: always time for selfies and smiles. >> very excited to get vaccinated today. >> reporter: health care workers, say there's a lot to celebrate. >> feeling relieved. >> probably hug my grandma, excited for that. >> just a sense of it just feeling safe. safer i should say. >> reporter: supplies, do you have enough to keep up?
3:45 am
>> we don't have enough but can do much more and will do as there's more supply. >> reporter: vaccine makers need to produce millions of more doses per week. authorization of the one dose johnson & johnson vaccine would help. but with such a mammoth undertaking, shortages are possible. >> we ran out of swabs for tests. here we don't have enough syringes. producing enough for everybody in the world to get two shots in their arm, we weren't doing that three or four months ago. >> reporter: one more challenge, new strains of the virus could make the vaccines less effective. the good news, there's a way around this too. >> that's part of what makes this a game changer, these vaccines are going to be adaptable almost on the fly. >> reporter: so you can retool the vaccine to fight the new strain of the virus? >> exactly right. completely retool and change the formulation so it works against
3:46 am
any of the new strains. >> reporter: while the pandemic is far from over, the doctor is relieved to finally have a game plan. >> seeing what i saw in the hospital when our icus were overwhelmed, now seeing medical people make this happen, it brings tears to my eyes, it is a return to normalcy, and i don't know how better to contribute. >> that was allison aubrey reporting. raymond james stadium in tampa which hosted last night's super bowl can hold more than 65,000 fans, because of health concerns, only about 1/3 full in the big game. but couldn't tell by the roar of the crowd. david pogue reports. >> reporter: in all of football, there's nothing quite as exciting as the roar of the crowd. and nothing more unsettling than the silence of empty stadium.
3:47 am
that's the situation nfl had to contend with when social distancing limited the number of fans to attend in person. >> were desperate to go to the super bowl. >> reporter: i didn't have then congratulations, giants! >> nfl hall of famer harry carson played for new york giants for 13 years. met at metlife stadium, home of the jets. >> sound compel you or annoy you? >> winning or doing well, propels me. if they're calling me names -- if we're losing, that annoys me. it's amazing how the noise really does come into play at some point. >> reporter: but on tv, including during the super bowl broadcast, you hear what sounds
3:48 am
like full capacity crowd, but you're hearing sounds recorded by the nfl in pre-pandemic times. >> system is basic, consists of laptop, audio interface and small controller. we built it into a road case. >> reporter: vince caputo is head sound mixer at nfl films, he led the development of this portable sound machine. most of the time it just produces a dull roar. >> level one is stadium full of people doing nothing. >> reporter: operator can then trigger crowd reactions when something good happens or bad happens. long befor caputo's team had been recording crowd sounds just to build a sound effects library. in fact they created separate
3:49 am
recordings in each stadium. >> that's important for us, because we're working on game at arr arr arrowhead stadium and need a crowd cheer, going to use one from the stadium. >> humans have ben singing long time on evolutionary scale and sports is one of the ways we realize it. >> reporter: carnegie university. would it be disappointing to watch the game without the crowd? >> i think so. having that sound boosts the camaraderie and tribalism of sports, feeling you're surrounded by many other humans, probably something we're in need of this year. >> reporter: each team hasts ow operator. at first wasn't all smooth sailing. >> in week one, glaring thing was operators waiting for the actual result of the play to happen and firing the reaction.
3:50 am
