lead. because the release of its covert vaccine in europe and north america are off of production delays prompting threats of legal action from italy and poland. talks with russia to start its own production of the sport make the vaccine we hear from we're now in the serbian film director about his thoughts on the. future since it's. something that is going to be much more spread the. president promised his french students will be able to return think university

parts are following the wave of protests against undergraduates tell us about the impact of campus closures. where it's supposed to be a rich country and where and that's a very able to parse the. big picture coming up in just a few moments time. rather to bring you the latest news headlines for us again. when will it be my turn everybody but the factors is anxious wondering when they're going to be able to get their shot there were long lines as the initial rollout fell short and president biden's goal is 100000000 shots in 100 days sounds ambitious but because the vaccine is a 2 shot sequence that only protects 50000000 americans what should you expect

let's ask dr joe alton who with his advance nurse practitioner wife amy hosts the survival medicine website doman bloom dot net a rich trove of posts podcast. videos and then they have authored among other books the survival medicine handbook the essential guide for when medical help is not on the way and alton's antibiotics and infectious disease the layman's guide to a vailable antibacterials in austere settings joe it was a year ago when you wrote about a strange new virus that had sickened 60 people in a place called one china back to the future in a recent tell a health visit i had with my doc he wouldn't even let me finish the question he interrupted and said get the shot as soon as you can i will what do you say to

auntie vac sers who are generally wary and to african-americans specifically distrustful after the notorious tuskegee syphilis studies so long ago are these new vaccine safe. holland for those who don't know the tuskegee study was an experiment where for 40 years in the mid 20th century hundreds of african-american men who sought medical health risks if alist were given sugar pills instead because scientists wanted to know what would happen if you didn't treat the disease that was reprehensible but it happened a long time ago i can't imagine anything like it at that age the thought. this is a 21st century and modern medicine often works miracles but it isn't perfect your chances of having serious complications from a vaccine is about one in 100-0021 in a 1000000 pretty good odds the code live vaccine will likely give you a sore arm maybe a headache or low grade fever for

a couple of days but not much else in return your getting of the studies 95 percent protection from a possibly deadly virus which is a lot better than the average flu shot by the way what would i tell anti-vaccination i had tell them about measles medieval the so contagious that you have a 90 percent chance of getting it just by being in the same room as someone who has an active infection it was once almost as an editable as death and taxes before the vaccine came out in 1963 there were 3 to 4000000 cases annually in the u.s. alone with several 100 deaths mostly in children today cases of needles are few and far between and no one has died in the u.s. since 2015 bottom line is you need to use all of the tools in the woodshed including back scenes if you're going to get a handle on the cold with pandemic. we have recently heard about another mutant

strain in south africa and prior to that that u.k. i think it's called b $117.00 variant have been popping up in states all across the usa said to be a seriously more contagious although not worse than the covert 19 strain have i got that right and do mutations like this make corona virus and demick threat meaning that we may have to get a new shot every year. holland r.n.a. viruses like sars could be to have a tendency to mutate the u.k. strain is indeed up to 70 percent more transmissible than the original version which are pretty darn contagious to begin with your pandas you mentioned science south africa have recently recorded their own news drains so far death rates seem to be unchanged why do all these variants keep popping up are any viruses are notoriously bad it being their genetic material on to the next generation with

errors ending up as. most of the time of the different minimal but occasionally it's significant so one years back seen just like. may not work the following year the future it wouldn't surprise me at all of that the public service announcements asking us have new your annual. suppose we do get those $50000000.00 americans did $900.00 days that's less than 10 percent of the usa population and not nearly the threshold for the herd immunity we eventually hope for correct. well her immunity is the protection that enough on the backs unaided person would get books from being in the midst of them vaccinated populace the population to risk a change that protection however would be a very large 'd percentage for measles it's 95 percent for cope with probably

somewhere between $70.90 although dr found she says closer to 90 that's a lot more than $15000000.00 people it will be at least a couple of years before we reach the point where herd immunity is any factor at all in providing real defense against the virus. we are speaking with survival medicine specialist dr joe alton doom and gloom dot net every doc i have talked to during this pandemic has made the point get the flu shot just because of corona virus influenza is not taking the year off and that dr fouchier whom you mentioned has warned of twin demick and because cold and flu symptoms are similar better safe than sorry normally this year joe flu hospitalizations are surging and there would be a lot more deaths than we've had but they are not and like everything else lately there's controversy about that conspiracy theorists contend that the health

care sector is inflating cove id numbers to make money they charge when co-morbidities involved calmer voices point to the obvious about the flu thing because we're wearing masks and we're social distancing and we're washing our hands the flu just doesn't have a chance admittedly in my layman's reckoning what do you figure. well certainly one of the few silver linings in the pandemic storm cloud has been less cases of contagious disease other than code numbers of flu measles and other infections a drop due to an increased sense of social responsibility on the part of americans that's good are coded numbers related i think the number of cases are actually underestimated due to the large number of people wouldn't mild that these web few or no symptoms they don't even know that specifically doing coke that they pay possibly be overestimated a bit if you are

a 19 year old with heart disease diabetes and a stroke a case of cold it might just be the straw that broke the camel's back. all of those statistics can be manipulated manipulated and the real science maybe is hard to find of a needle in a i think the numbers are real enough to be taken seriously as for money i can't speak for big pharma as a front line medical staff there are a lot easier ways to make a buck than sending the sick in contagious code with patients day and night we owe them a lot we sure do well early on in the pandemic president trump who was also rambling about disinfectant and bleach was bullish on high dropsy chloroquine as a preventative and the talk radio and cable news parrots jumped right in i made a point not to join the armchair pharmacists but recently your blog caught my eye when you wrote about ivermectin what is it holland ivermectin xin oral drug used to

treat parasitic infections the average person has never heard of like stronger already and awkward sciences in topical treatment well there are things that they may or heard of that little treat like skating ivermectin have gotten a lot of attention recently is a drive that could possibly prevent the transmission of 19 or perhaps street sense of a lung specialist from a position as group recently went so far as to call it a wonder drug in front of a senate committee that's quite a statement from an i.c.u. doctor they really call anything a wonder drug even wonder drugs like hydroxy cortland the attention given directly to them both positive and negative given the few real options out there however i think everyone at least can agree that we need more research into every avenue that might help ivermectin maybe one of them and we'll see but this is not as one commercial after another in the evening newscasts urge us something you should ask

your doctor about ivermectin that's still not that status correct. that's correct is it is not f.d.a. approved in at the present time i don't believe that it's something that you average for this in will feel comfortable prescribing for a patient this is just one of the new things that that's come out and the fact that we have a respected group of physicians that seems to be very much in favor of it piqued my interest and i'm interested in to see what more research will come out showing with regards to results. dr joe alton doom and gloom dot net thank you as always for your time you're very generous with it and you have a gift for explaining complicated stuff like this as if donald trump played by the rules when he was president there are

a bunch of things some surprising that former presidents are not allowed to do here are several mike purdy author of $101.00 presidential insults what they really thought about each other and what it means to us explains that while serving presidents might claim immunity ex presidents can get busted just like the rest of us including for selling or sharing classified information they know too much literally though some still take intelligence briefing their lips are sealed if they serve 2 terms the 22nd amendment says they're retired former presidents are not allowed to drive on open roads golf carts yes otherwise they're chauffeured by secret service who are trained in evasive driving maneuvers and secret service inspects every package delivered even the x. president's amazon stuff get screened at an offsite facility and you won't bump

into w. a at the apple store like sitting presidents retired presidents may only communicate on approved devices after president trump ignored the rule and got hacked multiple times coming up no matter how we baby boomers and generation x. are zen millennial subtone for sins we've committed against mother earth our next guest says it's up to generations the this is the big picture on r.t. america. if you take 2 good quotes of these what he says my grandfather watch is no particular good but who do you good well who make one a little bit higher wait a little bit. and then come back and look at them then mocks they don't indicate

the same time because there's more time up here the time down there. in 2040 you know bloody revolution here to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just the war here i mean both video producer in the eye and they believe that idea belonging to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014. those who took part in this today over 5000000000 dollars to assist ukraine in these and other calls that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic and. i wouldn't quite say that they supported sort of the banning of trump per se i

think they're long before we reached this point there should have been enough and there should have been a set of guidelines and rules. technology platforms followed around specific kinds of cases by which people might be maybe even not the platforms into steps they're on the way to their view they are stealing information that is going viral that is obviously false and or heedful. by these algorithms that are influencing the visibility of content that is heat fall and viral in those cases we need to intervene.

wrap your mind around this every element of life on this planet is a wondrous and connected. all life on earth is in grave peril because of us we still have a celeb hope of saving it but it falls on jen's easy to lead the charge to some drastic changes says who the author of a stack of books most recent of which is the gender zeem urgency dr reese halter is a distinguished biologist just ecological stress physiologist and a forensic naturalist translation a powerful voice for being as trees sees nature's wellness science and saving nature and now his books are available at dr reef com. gen zinni is loosely defined as people born between 19952012 tell our viewers

and listeners the backstory of this book during the pandemic you went for a walk correct. yeah so actually just before the pandemic i was invited to a climate symposium which i rarely attend all and i mean my footprint i try to keep it low but i wanted up. a unique situation earth calls is a foundation that is interested in children's music and science and how to bring bring them together so i hung with these 3 incredible influencers and we walk in the woods. and. they asked some pretty hard questions and i gave them the goods but i loaded it up with solutions because that's what we do right problems and there are lots and lots of solutions you know

i began this segment asking for listing 3 fundamental point you made in the gens emergency and i want to have you elaborate one at a time so 1st you write every element of life on this planet is wondrous and connected give our viewers some examples when you depend on everything else holland and everything time tested right over 8 years are full evolution and so you may think look i live in the heartland i'm not near the ocean i've nice to know it's what you do turns out to the green light on the ocean then the oceanic bacteria gives buzz are often almost 2 out of every 3 breaths of air and everything holland is connected by a picture all life lives within

a temperature range and one is. of course that all hell breaks loose and and dot dot dot dot and so what we're. contending with now. is our opponent in. my world sadly is ideal a lot of gas and we're trying to figure out how to stop the data on land orders or on every continent. there dead huge swaths and coral reefs you swat the number dead so it's a crisis man the last time you were here and anybody who missed it can find previous episodes at youtube dot com slash the big picture r.s.t. i said i live on the east coast why does plastic in the pacific mattered to me in the connect the dots in a really scary way point number 2 you right all life on earth is in grave

peril because of us and this is something baby boomers like your affable host can relate to as i grew up progress seemed to be measured in a car's paved your memory that the scene in the graduate where young dustin hoffman is told plastics how has well intentioned progress painted us into a corner with nature in our own an. ingenious and ultimately made part of trillions of dollars each year that year or. more. we're doing about other by a trillion. i mean the biggest right on the biggest right. is in the night blood of the planet fresh water now trying to tell us.

all the freshwater king pointing pressure and all that lead radioactive. place we can do that. so but here is our work we were going to make i don't mean maybe but the thing is we've got to learn from our mistakes and move on and a chance pending on us and now we're pushed with the. air driving the change because they don't have the time and the adults have screwed up and we're not 2 moving we're screwing up so they have a heart and i mean. there's hundreds hundreds of things that each of us can do. and with admitting that we have a problem for every problem there are 3 solutions we are speaking with dr reese

halter whose latest book the gen emergency is a hell of a read you're a great storyteller and i feel as though i was hiking along with you point number 3 a make in the book goes to something i ask whenever you and i visit is it too late and in this book you contend that we still have your words a slim hope of saving it but it falls on jen's xeni to lead the change to some drastic changes why does that fall the gens and what changes can they help us make greece i. think we are paying the biggest well is. the fossil fuel companies. over 5 trillion dollars each year to kill a plan or simply to. take the 5 trillion and put it into protecting our only home for heaven's sakes right if you will lose

3 almighty benevolent. if they are why do they need a trillion dollars. and on their own. if you can't stand on your own a business you know this better than anybody h. out of the way right you can get your car while you propping it up and the fears are the future the innovation we have we just need the article so roll or we got our. technology we have the money it's just all institutions sadly are very there's a. big corporation kids know that's why they're. doing erp and all the 1000000000 kids. for their birthright

to have nature to have fresh water. being in the air to have the animals are bred for. yeah and the risk of stereotyping the generation jensine doesn't want big cars they don't want big homes you're right that less than 4 percent of an active population can drive governments on societal change and that gen zene represents 25 percent you mentioned gretta tonight there's a great quote in the book here where she says dulce keep saying we owe it to the young people to give them hope but i don't want your hope i don't want to be hopeful i want you to panic i want you to feel the fear i feel every day and then i want you to act i want you to act as you would in a crisis i want you to act as if our house is on fire because it

is reese of just got about a minute left but i want to ask you another question i always ask you and i always think of a new wrinkle of this between our visits last time you mention plastic bags tell us one or 2 things people watching can do to help by that's 30 seconds. you know 1st of all that you know. if we used to being going to. play a plant a tree in your. car. in that we got a kid in nature you live in a balcony get a lot and grow at a moderate growth. you any you have just. your b.s. so you know. just maybe. that here is halter dr com thank you as always for stepping into the big picture the f.b.i.

bust of those heavily armed michigan nut jobs who were plotting to kidnap and possibly assassinate their governor to punish her for a pandemic shutdowns and the same thing we say of foreign terrorist applies to the mastic terrorists we have to get it right every time they only have to get it right once then the homes of senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and speaker of the house nancy pelosi were vandalized increasingly it seemed like we were already fighting a cold civil war what would it take for this to degenerate into a hot war but we're going to have to fight much harder because you'll never take back to our country with weakness we were already braced storefronts in washington and elsewhere boarded up in advance of election night and many kept the plywood as d.c. demonstrations continued good thing what next certainly the plot has thickened

since but 2 years ago on this show former pentagon advisor dr harlan ullman saw this coming we are in the midst of a civil war of the 21st century and the major problem is that government has become broken through why they have a majority a veto proof majority in both ends of that's a. yeah when you control the government and the system of checks and balances where you have civility and compromise and since the vietnam war civility and compromise have been eroded and today to no longer exist this polarization is increasingly getting nasty there may be some turn to violence and i'm not sure i would predict that but the ultimate upshot is the american people are not going to be served the government will continue to be broken and polarized and life in america in the future i think is not going to be as pleasant as it once was it was 2 years ago the future is now a new president fresh start and that is the big picture we'll be back next week
