redfield, are cdc director. dr. redfield. >> thank you, mr. secretary. i want to echo some of the important comments that the secretary made. clearly as we begin vaccination with our frontline healthcare workers and individuals and long-term nursing care and assisted living, that was the initial phase to begin the rollout this vaccine distribution. as the secretary said that as we sit in the fourth week of this vaccination program, we now are at a time where actually there's more vaccine available and is being requested for vaccination within the 1a group to the ac ipn cdc guidelines that came out on vaccinations to the states were never meant to be some out finish the first phase then you move to the second phase and then he moved to the third. so i'm here as a cdc director to ask our governors to echo what the secretary said and strongly recommend the vaccination now the expand to those individuals 65 or older, and those individuals between 16- 18 depending on the vaccine being used to 64 that have a comorbidity with the medical documentation of such.

robert redfield, the director of the cdc. with hundreds of unmasked people in close quarters during the attack, the conditions were ideal for the virus to spread. what's worse is most rioters were from out of town and they traveled home by various modes of transportation, where the virus could spread even further. dr. redfield is also echoing the warning from dr. anthony fauci that things will get worse before they get better. he predicted daily death counts near 5,000 in the coming weeks. >>> federal prosecutors say three more people have been arrested and charged with crimes related to the riot at the capitol, including a man seen dragging the speaker's podium and another, you may remember this man, he wore a fur hat with horns. investigation into the deadly attack continues as calls for president trump's removal from office intensify. chris palone has the story. >> reporter: democratic lawmakers' efforts to impeach president trump is gaining momentum. 190 members have signed on as co-sponsors. the move is necessary after t

redfield has even talked about with that with me yesterday. there is always going to be a delay in reporting, so it looks like we haven't done our job, but in fact we have. it just takes a while to have the numbers catch up with where we are. the other thing i think as we get more providers on board with vaccines, we will be able to actually increase that considerably. so i am not worried about that. this is something you are seeing in virtually every state, and part of that lag is just reporting, and part of it is being able to set up the clinic and ensure the appointments, that people can get in and not be waiting, as happened yesterday in sister states. >> [inaudible] dr. toomey: we talked about that. we actually talked about that. one of the decision points was we need the vaccine and want to begin to expand vaccinations to older individuals who are at high risk. older individuals, along with the long-term care facility residents, are the highest risk of death and complications. why not just begin and become very aggressive here in metro t

robert redfield said today, the previous director of the cdc. he's disappointed with the language coming out of the white house about the work that was done there. he said, i'm glad we gave him, meaning joe biden, a foundation to build on. last week we had two days when we vaccinated 1 million people a day. we laid a foundation for vaccine administration. i find it unfortunate when some people suggest that the vaccine program 1 million a day is somehow a disaster. but it will be a model when the biden administration does it. ron, dr. redfield said that you should be thankful for the work that they did. >> look, lawrence, i'll be honest, i'm thankful for some of the work that they did. i'm thankful for the work, more importantly, that the scientists, researchers, the people who participated in clinical trials, all the work they did that made it possible to have this vaccine. but let's be clear about two things. with regard to getting people vaccinated, the trump administration had the vaccine for 40 days and got about 11 million people vaccinated

with all due credit, you had bob redfield and debbie birx and jerome adams, too.was fine. >> you did feel he was good at what he was doing? i know, obviously, he's taken a lot of heat for his initial comments on masks but as the science changed, he changed his mind on but that you think he did a good job? >> yes, i really do. one of the things that's unfortunate is that there are -- and i know people who are very, very much against the last administration understandably that there were some good people in the white house. i mean, back then in the trump administration. some people on the task force who really cared. they were put in a very difficult position. >> yeah. >> i mean, i said to myself, i'm sorry, i'm not going to stand by and not object and i did. i had to do that. that's just my character. there is no way i could not have spoken out, and luckily, i mean, i didn't get fired. to be honest, i didn't think they could fire me anyway. >> i don't think they could have. you put yourself in a position where that was impossible. you mentioned debbie birx and i kn

dr redfield said that the members of congress as well as law enforcement officers there may have been exposed to the coronavirus. the united states has shattered the grim record for the number of coronavirus deaths for a third day in a row, according to data from johns hopkins university, 4000 and 85 american side of covid-19 yesterday. that brings the number of deaths in the u s to more than 600. excuse me, 368,000 here in california 1535 people died in our state tuesday, wednesday and thursday. that is a new three day record, the total number of deaths and cal. 40. it is over 28,000 and the state has more than 2.5 million coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic with more than 50,000 new cases in the last 24 hours, as the coronavirus pandemic rages in the bay area, the number of intensive care beds available shrinks. according to state data intensive care unit capacity in the bay area is now a 3% the lowest level yet statewide. the numbers are worse. icu capacity is at 0% health officials say the bay area's stay at home order, maybe expect standard pass tonight, depending o

robert redfield head of cdc said this to the "new york times." i find it unfortunate when some people suggest that the vaccine program is a disaster. it will be a model when the biden administration does it. he pledged to do 100 million people in 100 days and we're on the verge of delivering 1 million a day. i rather they would be thankful. that's better dialogue that political hyperbole. your thoughts. >> politicians like to set over ambitious and lofty goals. if you think about it, we're about three weeks behind schedule. we were talking about 20 million doses by the end of the calendar year in december. here we are this week about to hit that goal. so we're about three weeks behind based on the distribution schedule. i think people need to remember that there is a 23% reduction in the number of cases over the last 11 days. dana, we peaked 11 days ago. right now we could be about to experience a rapid deceleration in cases. not for good reason, simply because there is so much infection that has been out there. as we start to see a significant d

robert redfield is warning that the capitol hill riot that left five people dead will likely become aificant coronavirus spreading event. joining me right now to discuss, dr. elizabeth claiborne, an emergency physician and adjunct professor at the university of maryland school of medicine. so good to see you. how concerned are you about the fact that so many people who converged on capitol hill came from a lot of different places and now they've all gone back home. do you believe that superspreader event is endangering a lot of communities? >> absolutely, fred. you have to remember, we are already still concerned about the surge that is going to be a result of the holiday travel that just took place at the end of december and into january. so on top of that, having a large event like this where people came from multiple states and were in a close proximity to others, sometimes not masked, it is a huge concern that they are going to return to their homes and take the covid virus with them. and our hospitals are extremely stretched thin so right now is one of the most dangerous times fo

in fact, robert redfield, the director of the c.d.c. and man whose face got put on upside-down by god, said yesterday that the next few months could be "the most difficult in the public health history of this nation"-- even worse than that six-month stretch when you couldn't go anywhere without hearing "baby shark." we thought that was the pandemic! the good news is that a vaccine is right around the corner, but you still need to get enough people to get the vaccine so that people are immune. and let's face it, in a country where millions of people refuse to wear masks, there's a good chance many of them will resist getting an injection, which is sort of like a mask that hurts. so that's why some high-profile people from across the political spectrum are forming a supergroup to promote the vaccine. >> in a show of presidential leadership in this health crisis, three former presidents are ready to roll up their sleeves to bolster public confidence in the new coronavirus vaccines, barack obama, george w. bush, and bill clinton all volunte

redfield that this was a surge of -- a supersurge event? >> it certainly could be.of people congregating without masks for extended periods of time. and these individuals, we know, came from all over the country. so they're going back to where they live and perhaps potentially bringing the virus with them and spreading it all over. >> and then to underscore how bad the situation is across the country, health officials in california have just deployed 88 makeshift morgues to counties statewide to help handle an influx of bodies. this as some hospitals there prepare for the possibility of having to ration care. how dire is the situation when you hear that? >> the situation is very dire here in southern california. we have historic high numbers of hospitalized covid patients. historic high numbers who are critically ill. we don't have any nmore icu capacity. they're putting icu patients in unusual places in the hospital just to find room for them. and we haven't yet even seen the patients that will come in as a result of their mixing during the christmas holidays. as y

amazon or comes as doctor robert redfield points out it was the trump administration that laid the groundwork's gold. in a recent new york times interview he says i find it unfortunate when some people suggest the vaccine program delivering 1 million a day is somehow a disaster but it will be a model when the biden administration does it. president biden plans to mobilize fema and the national guard to ramp up vaccination if it's, florida governor ron desantis calling that a big mistake. >> create fema camps or whatever is not necessary in florida. all we need is more vaccine. get us more vaccines. >> reporter: andrew cuomo threatening to sue biden over covid-19 relief. biden tweeting he's working to get immediate relief for american families in the form of direct payments but when it comes to state aid it would not be so immediate. jake sherman says the overall $1.9 trillion package might not pass until march. when it comes to concerns over the vaccine supply president biden plans on invoking the defense production act and we should expect to hear more from the white house as early as tomorr

cdc director robert redfield said the mostly unmasked club could expose law enforcement to the virus. time, the vaccine rollout continues to lag far behind the expectations. more than 22 million doses distributed to states only 6.5 million have actually gone into peoples' arms. large scale vaccinations can't come too soon. already 2021 is bringing record covid deaths as erica hill now reports. >> reporter: the first week of 2021, shattering records. more than 20,000 covid-related deaths. over 4,000 reported thursday alone. topping daily highs set just the day before. but numbers only tell us so much. >> every day i live knowing that my dad passed from covid. or my uncle passed from covid. >> reporter: families forever changed with no end in sight. former hot spots reaching sobering new levels. arizona now averaging 9,000 new cases a day. up 139% from its july highs. in texas, new cases are 86% higher than its previous peak. and then there's california. >> we're running low on water. sterile water is needs for specific types of ventilation for people on breathing machines. >> reporter:

robert redfield said the goal of 100 million vaccines a day was being achieved under the trump administration. he told "the new york times" here, "i'd rather they would be thankful, better dialogue than political hyperbole." dr. scott atlas was a special adviser to dr. trump. dr. atlas, always good to see you. i want your quick opinion on the president signing these executive orders. he said he will act with science and healthcare alone and not the political influence. your thoughts of these actions. >> yeah, thanks for having me. well, i heard some very good things. it's great to focus on two of the things he focused on, which is of course getting people vaccinated. by that, i mean the people that want to be vaccinated. but i think there's something more, which is it should not take three months to vaccinate the high-risk people and the people that have the priorities. i don't hear that. i don't see that being done in the country. the country is run at the state level by the governors. there's 1 or 2 states that have given their vaccines to people high risk, meaning the elderly and chronic c

robert redfield saying he's pledged to do 100 million people in 100 days. vaccinate.ering a million a day and i heard his chief hoff staff saying that our vaccine program was a disaster and they inherited a mess. i'd rather them be thankful. it's better dialogue. we're only going to get political hyperbole. let's expect that. what they should be giving the past administration credit for is operation warp speed. if this is business as usual, we would not have seen a vaccine probably for another two years. your thoughts. >> that's right. the president as he talks about unity has not been able to bring himself to say those words, to thank trump and the trump administration for what they did. certainly not donald trump by name. cnn, again, this morning, because i was watching, they put on the screen two anonymous quotes saying that they have to start from scratch because no plan was left behind how to get shots in people's arms and this is complete incompetence. with are those anonymous quotes? why are they empowering somebody inside the administration to say those things

robert redfield who directs the cdc, i admit it, testing does not eliminate all risks.on countries that have implemented this kind of procedurer earlier on, some travelers, believe it or not find ways around the test, like, for example, dummying up the results. you have to present either a printed record that you have had a test or an electronic record. in the case of the printed record, some people have apparently been allerring the documents, to quote, one anonymous traveler interviewed by vice.com, i quote him now, i just fired up photoshop and changed the date on the test. supposed to get the test within three days of travel. so ways around it. the way, to not get around it would be one of those covid passports that they all them. it is an electronic app put on your phone or an app put on your phone that provides an electronic record that you have gotten a covid test. the problem some of those apps also track your whereabouts, track you around the country and turn your data over. a lot of people don't like the idea. i suspect here in the u.s. i suspect people would

there was a coalition of four of us at the beginning, from steve hahn to bob redfield to missile to tonyould make sure we could get the information out to the public in one way or another. that's why i sent the information to all of them every morning because i never knew who would have the ability to do press. >> brennan: did you ever consider quitting? >>doctor: always. i mean, why would you want to put yourself through that every day. colleagues of mine, that i had known for decades -- decades -- in that one experience, because i was in the white house, decided that i had become this political person, even though they had known me forever. moing: is themyself every meththhink this pandemic? and that's something i asked myself every night. when it became a point where i wasn't getting anywhere, and that was, like, right before the election, i wrote a very detailed communication plan, what needed to happen the day after the election, and how that needed to be executed. and there was a lot of promises that would happen. >> brennan: you knew at that point that the election was a factor in

secretary azar, cdc director redfield. made this mistake last spring, which is how the covid virus came here. it didn't come from china. it came from europe. we then had a uk strain. 140 countries banned it. we did nothing. we have to test all international travelers. i can't do that as a state. only the federal government can do that. i don't have the legal authority to stop international travel. but every traveler should be tested. i don't know what we're waiting for. we started with uk. we have seen it with the south africa strain. we'll see it with other strains. >> i'm out of time, but i want to ask you about the vaccine, why it's going so slowly here. do you have an answer on how we're going to pick things up in this state? >> vaccines will be distributed more quickly. we have a supply issue. we have 900,000 vaccines have been received. we have 2 million health care workers. they are the first tranche. so the vaccine will be getting out. our distribution will be ahead of the supply. we're going to need more supply. t

here's cdc director robert redfield. >> we clearly have enough vaccine at this point to begin to expandore of the vulnerable individuals in our country vaccinated. this is particularly important right now as we're seeing the post-holiday surge, surge. >> joining me now is dr. patel, a physician in washington, d.c., who served in the obama administration. thanks for being with us. this means more doses will be made available, those that have been held back. will there be doses, do you think, for the second shots, the administration and of course joe biden and his administration saying that they believe the manufacturing can ramp up? what if it doesn't? >> i do, andrea, and good to be with you. i do think we have enough for second shots. and that's for a couple of reasons. number one, we're actually not even doing a great job of getting the supply we currently have in freezers and refrigerators out the door. make a point to say that they would be working moving fo be working wi understand what they've already administered so that they can ensure that second doses are available. having sai

but also the secretary of health and human service, alex azar, and director of the c.d.c., robert redfield. we need all of them to help move these goals forward. so the pharmacy effort has to be a lot stronger. on top of that, right now, there are real supports and real incentives for health care providers to provide testing, but not for them to provide vaccines. we need to clarify that. give them the same incentives, give them every reason to want to give vaccines to people in the priority areas. the f.d.a., i want to till, we have been working closely with the f.d.a. and steven who runs the f.d.a. a great partner, i thank him. we need them to do something our health care leadership has been raising to me for days now. we need the f.d.a. to give approval to health care providers to prefill syringes so vaccination can go much more quickly. we can create a positive vaccination assembly line where a lot of people get vaccinated at once because the syringes are ready. right now the f.d.a. does not allow hospitals and providers to do that. they need to do that. we can all work together. we can
