i think it will affect the bottom line of the companies but it's been anticipated. an example, pfizer is a company i cover. bristol and pfizer have elkwis, it's slated to go generic. another product is stelara that j&j has, but that's also to go je if generic. for now it's an easy pass for the price negotiations but over time things will get more complicated. >> i know you're going to watch the lawsuits filed by the manufacturers against this move by the white house. what do you anticipate will be the resolution? if you had any way to predict the future on this front, do you think we'll see this actually go into effect and you'll see the impact on the drug companies themselves? >> i think the potential for it to go into effect is 50/50 at this point. a lot of questions i get from different investors on the st street is, how soon we can see a resolution. i don't anticipate that will be in the near term. i think this will go through the course for at least the next year or so. >> on what basis are the drug companies attacking this plan? in other words, the right for medicare and medicai

companies never go out of style. right now for example, i'm looking to pick up more pfizer, people are beating that company, they think it will go out of existence but right pipeline, 20, 30% operating margins and 19 plus drugs in the pipeline for oncology and high-risk diseases such a company that's been around a long time, world-class player and people may fight about it all day long but it's not going anywhere and that's the stock moments like this looks appealing. >> year-to-date down 30% anything starting to look attractive to you? you feel evaluation in these names particularly technology? if you look at stocks jampacked with semiconductor names and equipment names is down and it makes sense because it is a run-up in everything from amt and nvidia, do you think now that they've come off those highs, it's time to get in? >> i think pullback in the tech sector technical and with pfizer, all i would say about pfizer and from his mouth to cause years, pfizer has been the most disappointing over pharmaceuticals or as to accompany it is but i agree if only faisal, it marked and myers but right now tough. he's got to b

and companies have looked at pfizer as a company involved in a one-time situation unlikely to repeathave spent that money away from these big myergers i think the street has been, you know, mixed, i would say, as far as whether those deals were good or not, and time will tell yes, i think over the long-term you want to potentially start looking at a pfizer versus a lilly on valuation, but the narrative for most investors now for lily and knovo is much bette than pfizer. >> given the valuation and how much is baked into the stock, and at this point it has raised its guidance and the data, has that been factored into this -- >> i think a lot of that is in here i think, unfortunately, in happy thanksgiving -- health care, which doesn't have that many winners, lilly still kind of stands out with higher quality, and yes, the caution was mainly around, you know, excludeing the select trial was baking in the evaluation, and novo's numbers today, it's difficult to get negative on it, and a valuation that is exceeding 50 times this year and 40 times next year, yes, versus the pharma peer grou

two companies have made them, one is pfizer, one is gsk. it is a traditional vaccine.t will be a vaccine that would be offered to people after discussion with health care providers. and the bulk of that is actually occurring in those over 60. even though numerically speaking more infants go to the hospital but fortunately not as many of them die. julian: that is good n that infants and young children going to the hospital with rsv have a better chance of making it out than those adults that end up in the hospital come older americans with rsv. i will shift. the focus now to covid. i do want to emphasize a increase at the moment, 1% of all hospitalizations currently are only because of covid. we have also seen an increase in the amount of covid we are seeing locally when it comes to that wastewater testing. how concerned should people be about catching the virus at this point? i know for immunocompromised people, this is still top of mind for them, but for many others it's been this us as usual you don't see a lot of people wearing masks now. >> people should definitely

right now pfizer, a dharna, and other company have this new booster that is close to hit the market ining this one small variant. and no longer is the federal government going to pay for this thinks you're going to have to build the insurance company. entrance, and is going to get billed and then joe biden has set aside over a billion dollars for uninsured people and so all of these people are going to get paid a lot of money if everybody gets boosted there will be a mass push for boosters. this thing comes in seasonal waves and regional waves, and the spring you get it's coming from the northeast in new england, and the summer and comes up from mexico and then you get the westward later. you look like a weatherman when you do that. strong coming from the southwest. if things don't work out here. [laughter] this is all foreseeable and so we don't need to panic and act like we are going to get mass death and the fall when this is something that happens. right now we are down 92% of the grace of death, 75% decrease in hospitalizations. then covid. >> what about other major health crisis

cbs, owned by viacom, is doing free advertising for pfizer and drumming up false fears. pharmaceutical companies are getting paid and doctors get a cut from the boosters given. this time, the insurance companies foot the bill instead of us. biden is giving pharmaceutical companies over $1 billion so uninsured americans can get free shots. we are beginning to wonder if the mutant variant scare tactic is less about saving lives and more about lining corporate pockets. let's turn it over to rand paul. are you as concerned as scott is about this mutated variant this fall? >> perhaps cbs might want to put a conflict of interest statement, saying he makes a lot more money when we sell vaccines and by the way, i like it when the government mandates they buy my product. this is a tragedy. these people are so conflicted and it is so dishonest to put people like that on the air to promote a product. this defies all logic, science, common sense. that university that wants to mask up, zero cases. worse than that, when covid was more potent in 2020, the death rate for young, healthy people turned out to be c

this is the ceo of pfizer says he expects the company's updated covid-19 booster shot to be made available lots of shots. >> lots of shots. >>> two of the indictments hanging over former president trump have one common denominator and that is jack smith, the special counsel, who secured both federal, criminal indictments against trump. so who is he? cnn's brian todd is here with some answers. brian, walk us through his career. >> well, brianna, donald trump has been frustrated enough with jack smith over the years to lash out at smith on more than one occasion. he called him deranged jack smith on at least one occasion. but smith does have a long record of investigations as owe prosecutor, usually keeping a low profile and with some mixed results. in the 1990s, he served as prosecutor at the u.s. attorney's office in brooklyn. there he won some tough cases against gang members and crooked police officers. he had two stints as the chief prosecutor for the special court in the hague, investigating war crimes in kosovo. he's also served as an acting u.s. attorney for the middle district of te

and the reason why t is that the vaccine that all of the companies are working on, pfizer, moderna, novavaxhen it comes out in the fall, in late september or early october, it should hopefully carry us through to the winter. okay. so then do you think it is the right move for the biden administration not to issue any newder that? i think so far it's looking okay. remember, we're starting off from such a low point in the last five months or so that a percentage increase like 20% seems dramatic when you look at the numbers. i'll give you an example. last year, this time in california, we had about 4700 hospitalizations. right now we have about 890 hospitalizations for covid in the state, and that's up from about 750. so the percentage increase is high, but the absolute numbers is lower. but it's still something that's significant because as people have heard, lots of people are getting covid again in the community and some people are going to the hospital. yeah, exactly. i feel like that's a question that a lot of people have. you know, we talk about covid 19 being almost like the flu, someth
