1:03 pm

1:04 pm
a powerhouse right it's got the 6th largest economy in the world and. the fact that you know businesses are shutting down you have a lot of very vocal californians and and they were giving him a tremendous amount of pressure to open up and i understand that but you could open up safely and people just weren't big saving why i would drive by bars and people would have their masks off and there be it be densely densely crowded and then you hear people like running out homes and having parties where there's 1000 people there so it's the public it's us it's the ignorance of the human being we continue to. defy the recommendations of the c.d.c. we continue to gather and i understand how important holidays are there just as important for me i haven't seen my family in mines it's terribly serious and people
1:05 pm
need to understand that you have to be careful and it doesn't matter your age it doesn't matter yes it dies it does it matters your agent your cum or biddies but there's plenty of younger people that have died from this. meanwhile here in russia 27000 new covered cases were recorded over the last 24 hours all the people are known to be more susceptible with almost half the people catching the virus in moscow being over 46 however one brave woman has proven there is hope no matter what your age. i don't know what the secret of my recovery as but i know that we need to keep calm and preserve our nerves but.
1:06 pm
she was hospitalized in a relatively severe condition she was upbeat and responded well to the treatment she recovered quickly she felt really precious to us and we wanted to. see because . we're grateful to the doctors she's an optimist and radiates positivity that's why she's had to forestall. or people over 60 in russia are now starting to get the sport shot over the weekend the health ministry said it was ok to do so of the safety and efficacy tests were concluded this morning are already lining up with vaccination centers in moscow. sent this report. so monday is definitely a milestone because if you're in that most vulnerable age group 60 plus you can now
1:07 pm
get enrolled and most likely finally forget about everything we've gotten sick and tired of in 2020 that explains why moscow's mayor is so proud and happy and by the way he's already been vaccinated to the russian ministry of health has approved the opportunity for the older generation to be vaccinated against covert 19 but the sputnik the jap it's great elderly people of the biggest risk group which is the most severely affected by the disease starting monday we're opening registration for vaccination i can say so myself then really works the vaccination program kicked off only 2 days after the announcement from the russian health ministry so i managed to speak to the people who are so desperate to get the job they did it in the morning right on the 1st day. love to finally take off my most skin future and this is difficult saying that i had seen may let me do that. since i heard about
1:08 pm
the vaccination i wanted to get it 1st this is how condemning can be stopped and 2nd i just left to travel truly. you need to get a job a new way the disease a serious challenge to the elderly and youngsters to some discover they've been infected without symptoms but i'd rather not gamble. clinical trials showed 90 percent efficacy and an impressive safety record although only a few months ago the critics were skeptical about the vaccines numbers for these side effects rates however at this point the sputnik the team says that about 15 percent of the patients get the side effects which include muscle pain fever and headache whether that number is good enough to silence the critics well that's up for you to decide but at any case all the applicants must go through very serious medical screening to do and if you could do some nation screening is common
1:09 pm
practice that person undergoes the same examination before the flu vaccine it's done to exclude risks from acute illness or if it's you know the g.'s and to measure temperature as of august recess health in terms of chronic disease if people fit the criteria we include them in the vaccination group for those who have not yet made up their mind on whether to go forward or not there is something that will probably serve as a confidence boost vladimir putin's decision to get the jab here as part of that age group that's just gotten the green light to the russian president is 68 years old. now the over use of treatment to cure covert 19 could accelerate the spread of so-called superbugs the world health organization's halid a significant rise and go on a rear sexually transmitted buck tyria warning it could become incurable. and the microbial resistance may not seem as a pandemic but it is just as dangerous it threatens to unwind
1:10 pm
a century of medical progress and levi's a defenseless against inflictions that today can be treated easily or one of the virgin question is as a throw my sin which is used to treat chest and sinus infections as well as going to so in a pandemic it was administered to treat inflammatory symptoms and prevent the spread of covert what was largely ineffective however as reported be allowed other bacteria to build resistance creating super bugs that could become untreatable or we can go live now to your knowledge is that professor bob for more on this thanks for joining us great to have you on the program today where obviously of the dangers of covert that's spread very rapidly around the world over the last 9 months how serious though is this threat of so-called super gonorrhea. well in a good evening well indeed it is an issue and but i have to make it very clear to
1:11 pm
all the your your your listeners that for a certain amount of time with did have issues with resistance area resistance of different antibiotics remembered going to rehab that had an issue already roughly 567 years ago before coding even appeared and it did it w.h.y. the world health organization even made a warning regarding the use of antibiotics because some of them used to be ineffective as a matter of fact there was a nice report by the w.h.o. send up 95 percent of countries now are reporting resistance to going to be a treatment with standard antibiotics such as penicillin or others remember this is an issue that we had before and i think it's a little bit over exaggerated to connecting that to the current pandemic i'm not trying to make the problem smaller but i'm trying to say that the problems we're encountering with antibiotics today are not created by depend demick by code
1:12 pm
pandemic in your ology we do have that many doctors give antibiotics very quickly too early and basically strong antibiotics for very minor infections this is the problem we are seeing and not the surge of bugs that may be super resistant and i don't think that will change a lot to that because resistance remember m.r.s.a. in multi resistance to have arias has been around for many years and we're trying to cope with it in our successfully coping with that so i do not believe that this is a real trends. so what you're saying is pandemics like this one so much of an impact on other less as it is that is that we are saying in times of illnesses such as got aria. it does have a major impact on anything i think it's absolutely wrong now to assume that because that pandemic is not changing everything it is as a matter of fact because of this system the pendennis started with the quick transmission and everything i think there is an issue new systems go down we are
1:13 pm
more basically apt to have infections strong infections resistance will increase but again is this really related to the pandemic per se or the fact that many people having various infections right now in general i think we have to be careful to not to do basically confuse what we are seeing right now which is a pandemic you're virus and then postulating that we will have a lot more resistance to antibiotics this problem of antibiotic resistance has been around and has been increasing over the years without the pandemic as well and for sure what the president is known is that the patients don't go to the doctor anymore because they're scared of going to the doctor because thinking if you do it if they go to the hospital or if they do go for example to a doctor's office they may get a virus because obviously patients will be sitting this is a wrong assumption if patients are sick you should still go to the doctor does is very important secondly i think we should still be careful about resistance in
1:14 pm
general and this same remedy that we had a year ago or 2 years ago is still true today don't use antibiotic the problem of resistance is through over use of antibiotics for irrelevant or minor infections and this is the problem this is the problem it was 2 years ago and is still a problem today. but interesting stuff bob john professor of theology and you were there surgery thanks so much for your time today great to have in the program you're welcome. on meanwhile the e.u. has launched a cross border vaccination program with the target of inoculating every adult and 2021 contracts and secured with suppliers for more than 2000000 vaccine doses however polls do show a lot of people are hesitant about taking it that's a particular case in france with more on that has put us live. 1000000 that's the estimated number of people that own guns to decimate by the end of. the focus now
1:15 pm
nursing homes like this one and other facilities with senior citizens and vulnerable individuals and emergency workers 1st in line to say the vaccination is the only way to stop the virus but people here in france are split on the issue just above all civil i'm not really in favor i think we do not have enough feedback on this vaccine at the moment and even if it can save lives maybe it would be good to wait a little to know that i am for a vaccine normally it takes 10 years of research and testing but in this case as the vaccine has been readied very quickly i have an experience i would do it's hard for me if. i was really the person to do read or if i had to do it to trouble i think everyone should take it because that's the only way we're going to have enough herd immunity to get out of the problem or i don't see a need to have the vaccination the probably wouldn't have one recent poll suggests that about half the population is against to be inoculated and it's not just me and
1:16 pm
2 vets movement there are real fears that the vaccination has nothing to stop popping in the u.k. and us the number of people who have developed a severe allergic reaction to the vaccination as has happened in other countries and then on top of that there is a general mistrust to the government something we call to the population feel that present a chronic fumbled his way for the sick the way to do people here feel that how it has its hand on top of things now all we could hear it was so one thing a day another difference between us the next day so i think it's easy to criticize when they're not in their shoes i think you might have a harder lockdown and maybe not let people go so free over christmas i can say they did a good job or a bad job i think they just did what they could i worked out schools people and there is a lot of. see people as a result we don't have any. money in the tubes for move to
1:17 pm
move your chair is a mom it's really difficult because one virus is europe's worst public health does all stepping over the same surely as you can see winter in the 3rd wave is a wave upon us even the hoping that this latest the rollout will fix unity and health but $1000000.00 vaccinations is only a small fraction of the $17000000.00 adults here and from once over the age of 60 if that is the way that paris plans to beat this to be full virus it needs to act and act fast. terrorists. sort of had this news our review of 2020 the year we have to think before we speak challenges of political correctness starts coming out of this show but it.
1:18 pm
1:19 pm
funds are simply not accountable and we're just. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for. the program has been a lot to talk about 2020 but it's also going to time you have to be careful what you say with all of the challenges but it's a correct work. frontlines of the culture wars in 2020 not everyone gave up on the practice of insulting everyone and not carrying these red beasts who faced. basically this is it there was something about when i put this handle and maybe through like superman kanye west with trump with. that
1:20 pm
based on a freedom and 1st of all just doing something that everybody tells you not to do london had to catherine bubble saying it gives 0. count the box why the local races when faced with the idea of putting down statues and colonizing the curriculum she gave a reply that came straight from your granddad and now we're talking about the colonizing the particular it is not about the colonizing curriculum it's about getting good behavior in our schools how can you support a social justice warrior these days well just check. they spend so much time meeting down against racism that there's hardly any skin left so guess what happened when basketball legend charles barkley said you know greed is a very slippery slope. because. if you don't me you
1:21 pm
will this lead to quite a few of those caring people to get off all steadies and declare buckley a racist who was only speaking up for his white ghost buddies must know what i want to say get it get on to your knees or they'll come for you. nick cave said it best when he said political correctness is guys they come here and happy to make anyone else in the congo i think really bad really good random luck what is neat cave me well let me explain using the giants of the intellectual doc web. when megaupload cost. his show over to spotify earlier this year for something like a. people at the company said that they were so upset that he wasn't being censored and that they were any unwanted by his views to see that we had moved his car. pull
1:22 pm
the video. oh my god oh my god oh my god they demanded we're p.t.s. meetings with management you know this is probably overinflated all that spotify stuff is just complete fodder they have literally said nothing to me about it it was a similar story for. jordan peter reportedly starts with a company that was publishing his latest book was so that it was being published but they ended up. m.m.a. scrap and actress gina carano. want to get into a fight with. has been expressing the wrong kind of politics she doesn't think the election is about she doesn't like a small 6 and now her opponents have started. fire gina carano. out of political
1:23 pm
correctness so you can over multinationals as well with some companies making. causes you can learn all about that. in the united states we're already getting a glimpse of how things want to show you when joe biden takes office in january now it's been revealed the brother of one of biden's closest advisors has secured a contract with. steve ricchetti formally lobbyist himself as a top white house counselor over its comes a lot his brother jeff before i was just a week or so after the presidential election sources close to the plane the siblings. family business. jeff has never and will never lobby his brother on behalf of any of his clients and c have had no role in his brother's business since he sold his stake in the firm in 2012 stephen just keep their professional
1:24 pm
activities distinctly separate. love now to. director at reactor times dot com thanks for joining us good to have you on the program today now do you think this is a move by jeff ricketty or amazon to get an inside line of sorts or as the brothers a at least the saying this is all just a big co-incidence. oh no of course not no seriously this is really like a tis the season for profiteering sort of situation here of course there's going to be conversations that take place between the brothers regarding amazon's interests and the fact that you know one of the brothers and has a direct line into the president but this is something you know the institution of lobbying is something that's going to come in under fire and under more scrutiny because it's joe biden as president and we already know all you know it's out there what hunter biden has done internationally we even have the progressive within joe
1:25 pm
biden's own party looking deeper into these situations you have a proposed piece of legislation called the further people act and there was a letter last week that went out from 3 senators including the queen of the progressive left in the senate right now our elizabeth warren basically asking for an ethics pledge from the incoming and i still say potentially incoming president we don't know exactly what's going to happen in congress on january 6th on but the fact is that in addition to republicans watching the activities of the biden in ministration in regard to lobbying the progressive side on you know the elizabeth warren's and even in the house to a whole season people like that already tripping on high on what the activities are between the biden ministry when any incoming hire isn't it may be formally also worked in the lobbying. so to what extent if any do you think this is a conflict of interest. i think it is it's an extreme conflict of interest and
1:26 pm
we've seen this a lot of times in the past this isn't you know something a new phenomenon here and it would go over would be on actual lobbying you know on lobbying senators and lobbying congress i mean this is an issue that we saw when hillary clinton was in charge of the state department there was a lot of payments that came in to the clinton foundation from middle eastern countries are some of which had been previously sanctioned for sponsoring terrorism you know there were there were favorable arms the ules in favor of diplomacy going in the direction of those countries just as money was flooding into the clinton foundation from from those areas so it goes beyond just lobbying it goes through you know all of the international influence and the different decision making processes that this administration is going to have in relation to other countries you know we got to watch the mother watch the money you know keep an eye on the paper trail is this. just looking out the cabinets forming void now as at least 2
1:27 pm
former lobbyists and top posts he's ignored pressure from from most progressives he was speaking about earlier do you think that could backfire on him. i think you will i mean especially if you know i don't think that there's a good possibility of this happening but let's say there was a special council set up to look into the previous activities of hunter biden sometimes these relationships wind up you know this is their only existing only in the past they wind up the developing in we're going into you know we're still exist today or may still exist in the future so i mean if i was the bidens right now would be very very careful of you know any business associations that i make at the contribution should relinquish control in any international entities less ok create the appearance or the aura of impropriety. or all are out of time and i thank so much for joining us in the program today. great to have your. up next
1:28 pm
1:29 pm
1:30 pm
experience else about. the flip burgers it is that for most there is no right to say. well yeah right relate it to. people belongs there for me this is the orange glow. from the sour take out. there and he's sexy isn't a sexy sell me a woman or a friend whatever you want. a little. bit of. fantasy to create this new breed of bottle you name it out of congress when you see a slow down oh yeah if you're asking me are just fulfilling for you and i'm heavy coming back to the room. i mean of the heavy but the whole thing is puddle. all.
