pharmaceutical companies like moderna and biontech have seen their stocks explode.ey belief their vaccine profits will be enormous, and two, the companies have monopoly control over vaccine production so the profit streams will continue to with enormous. as a result, the vaccines have minted nine brand-new billionaires and five of them are associated with moderna including ceo stephon and the chairman. three other moderna early investors are also now billionaires. biontech's ceo and co-founder is also on the list, along with three founders of the chinese vaccine company. and on top of the nine new billionaires, the vaccines gave eight existing billionaires an additional $32 million to mess around it. all told the new and old billionaires took in about $51 billion. the people's vaccine alliance says that's enough to vaccinate everyone in india as well as an additional 800 million people in low income countries that have so far gotten a very small share of the vaccine supply. critics also point out the vaccines were largely financed by taxpayer money and say the compa

the effectiveness of the vaccine, in this case two weeks after the second dose of pfizer-biontech was 80% effective against the delta and 93% effective against the alpha when you are dealing with symptomatic disease. next slide. when you look at hospitalizations, again, both the fies biontech and the astrazeneca are between 92% and 96% effective against hospitalizations. you put all of these things together and you come to what we would call a self-evident conclusion. next and last slide. similar to the situation in the u.k., the delta variant is currently the greatest threat in the u.s. to our attempt to eliminate covid-19. good news. our vaccines are effective against the delta variant. conclusion, we have the tools, so let's use them. and crush the outbreak. i'll hand it now over to dr. with a len skifment -- dr. walensky. dr. walensky: let's begin with an overview of the data. yesterday the c.d.c. reported 9 ,816 new cases of covid-19. our seven day average is about 2,350 cases per day. this represents a decrease of nearly 18% from the prior seven day average and the lowest seven-

take a look, three weeks after one dose both vaccines the az and the biontech are only 33% effective against symptomatic disease from delta, clearly important about why a second dose. what about what's going on with the uk and why should we learn lessons from this and always getting back to the situation of why it's so important to be vaccinated. in the uk the delta variant is emerging as the dominant variant rated at 60% it is replacing the b-1 17, the peak transmission and my conversations with the data associated with the uk when talking with her health authorities, the transmission is peaking in the younger group of 12 - 20-year-old, mainly that group that were concerned about here about making sure that they get vaccinated, as i mentioned before there is poor protection after a single dose of either mrna or az vaccine, this slide graphically demonstrates in the doctor part of the slide, the emergent of the b-1 6172 compared to the lighter pink which is the original b-1 17 it is essentially taking over, last slide, let's look at where we are in the united states, that variant the

the headlines: the uk's health regulator approves the use of the pfizer—biontech vaccine for childrens young as 12 — the uk's vaccines committee will now decide whether children should get the jab. i want to make sure this all done on a clinical base, following the clinical advice, to make sure that we get this country out of the pandemic as safely as we can. covid cases in england rise by around 75% in one week — as new figures suggest the pandemic is growing. havoc for holidaymakers and businesses — portugal and the travel industry react angrily to the government's decision to remove the country from the green travel list. two police forces agree to pay damages to more than 600 people following the hillsborough disaster. and how a promise made more than 70 years ago — good afternoon. the uk medicines regulator has approved the extention of the szier—biontech vaccine for use in children as young as 12. the mhra said it carried out a "rigorous review" of the vaccine in adolescents between 12 and 15. the uk's vaccine committee will now decide on whether to advise the government that th

just to reiterate, two weeks after the second dose of the mrna pfizer-biontech, it was 88% effective against the 617, and just like we've shown multiple times, over 93% effective against the b117. take a look at the last bullet. three weeks after one dose, both vaccines -- the az and the pfizer-biontech -- were only 33% effective against symptomatic disease from delta. clearly important about why a second dose is so important. next slide. now, what about what's going on in the u.k. and why should we learn lessons from this, and always getting back to the situation of why it's so important to be vaccinated? in the u.k., the delta variant is rapidly emerging as the dominant variant -- greater than 60%. it is replacing the b117. the peak transmission in my conversations with, and the data associated with the u.k., when talking to their health authorities, the transmission is peaking in the younger group of 12 to 20-year-olds -- mainly that group that we're concerned about here, about making sure they get vaccinated. and as i mentioned before, there's poor protection after a single dose

the uk's health regulator approves the use of the pfizer—biontech vaccine in children as young as 12.he mhra says it has carried out a rigorous review of the vaccine in adolescents. the uk's vaccines committee will now decide whether children should indeed get the jab. we'll be considering what the options could be for children. portugal and the travel industry react angrily to the government's decision to remove the country from the green travel list, a decision that has caused havoc for holidaymakers and businesses. two police forces are to pay damages to more than 600 people following the hillsborough disaster. the chancellor says he is confident of reaching a global agreement on digital taxation ahead of a meeting of world finance leaders. i haven't taken it off yet. and never will. i'm not going to take it off, either. and how a promise made more than 70 years ago has finally been fulfilled. and coming up on the bbc news channel... rain delays play on day three of the first test between england and new zealand at lord's, with the hosts 267 runs behind. good afternoon and welcome

they just approve the pfizer biontech seen her younger teens. we are seeing a massive decline in the number of infections across the globe, about the lowest in three months. in the u.s., the lowest level of infection since may 20 20 -- march 2020, excuse me. the question is whether the data can catch up quickly enough. tom: good news on the pandemic worldwide. there are some challenging lockdown's year and there but all in all, very constructive. starting strong with bruce kasman. head of global economic research. trying to get out a message on economics. linking global inflation with the recovery we are saying, dev patel those two. is it a good inflation or bad inflation? bruce: i think there is some of both. on the spike we are seeing, definitely some problems in terms of companies adjusting supply to demand, the bottlenecks you see in the semiconductor, the used car prices. there are bunch of forces pushing of inflation, which is not great in terms of what we would like to see. the other side is we are seeing price normalization in what our d

and israel turned to pfizer, biontech and moderna, mongolia and chile are relying on two from china,cacy rates of the chinese-made vaccines range from about 50% to 79% whereas u.s. backed pfizer and moderna using mrna science are more than 90% effic efficacious. though the environments in which they were all trialed varied, the american backed ones appear to be much better at preventing transmission compared with china's vaccines. >> right now what we can see very clearly is that antibody level in people who receive biontech is much, much higher than the level who received sin sinovac. >> reporter: despite the chinese companies behind them providing limited clinical tre trial data they were approved. >> somewhere like chile or mongolia, vaccines have saved a lot of lives but maybe they haven't been able to stop the virus from spreading and causing mild infections in vaccinated people. and so that is one of the limitations of less effective vaccine. if you look across the board in countries that have higher vaccination rates, those hospitalization rates, those death rates, while they

that's not the case for pfizer or biontech.s are going to be, i think it is going to be at least two years. the important thing, though, kelly, is that we haven't seen in countries like the u.s., the uk, israel, where you have a high vaccinated population we haven't seen variants breaking through and unwinding all the progress that's an important observation, i would say. >> absolutely. and then all of this being said, as people weigh how much the manufacturers are profiting off of these vaccines, broadly speaking, do you expect there to be more regulatory sort of whiplash against them? we have seen comments from elizabeth warren and others. what is the environment going to be like for drug pricing and patents and all that going forward? >> drug pricing has been a debate for as long as i have conferred the boyio tech and pharma industries. many, many years it is interesting that none of the companies are really reaping the benefits from policy perspective of all the prosecuting that they have made. they are still getting as you

i don't know that for certain, and the pfizer biontech ceo has said that he's looking into combiningal immunization. i personally don't think we'll have to go in that direction but we'll see. >> you wrote something in the journal of the american medical association on the need to get vaccine doses to other countries. although we're still looking to increase efforts here in the united states. explain to folks why it's so important to get the vaccines out of the united states. >> we're mostly vaccinating the northern hemisphere. the u.s., canada, the u.k., western europe, and we're lagging behind globally. aside from the humanitarian urgency to prevent the horrible tragedies we're seeing in places like india and peru where the death count is rising dramatically if we do have a lot of international businesses, and it's very hard to do business now with africa and latin america, the middle east and southeast asia, so that our economy, while it starts to go up now over the summer, it will hit an early plateau unless we can vaccinate the world. this is the biggest problem right now that i'

new data suggests that both the astrazeneca and the pfizer/biontech vaccines are about 75% effective in preventing hospitalization from the delta variant with one dose and 94% effective after two. now, a study by imperial college london found that young people are causing, quote, exponential growth in covid infections in england. but with some exceptions, the uk has not made vaccines available to those under 18. as our phil black explains for us now, the ethical factors involved are complex, and the stakes are high. >> reporter: 16-year-old thomas crone is one of the very few school-aged children in the uk to receive a covid-19 vaccine, and it's only because he must cook, clean, and care for his often sick family. mum claire -- >> anywhere more than a few minutes, i would need this. >> reporter: and her 12-year-old twin sons are still suffering a range of covid symptoms more than a year after first falling ill. >> it's just so not nice to live with. >> we know that children can be severely affected. >> reporter: government statistics show that 30,000 children age 16 and under have re

today, we are providing 500 million doses of the pfizer-biontech vaccine to the world's poorest nations. this will significantly enhance our ability to meet our goal of providing two billion doses of the vaccine to low and middle-income countries over the next 18 months. thanks to the ingenuity of so many scientists and the dedication of so many manufacturing workers, today we can see clearly the light at the end of the tunnel. but we still have work to do. and i can assure you, mr. president, that we will be relentless in pursuing more services to end the pandemic. just this week, we began dosing participants aged five to 11 years old in a global phase 2/3 study. in this respect, we continue our studies in pregnant women. we are also closely monitoring and addressing the emerging variants, we are testing our vaccine's response to newly arising variants, and we are coordinating with public health authorities around the world on surveillance efforts. so far, data saw that none of the existing variant strains has escaped the protection provided by our vaccine. i repeat -- none. not one. s

mistake, amy, is to think this is about markets, that this is about the secret deals that pfizer, biontechmade with the high-paying customers, that there can be no transparency because that is trade cret. this is mind-boggling. governments have paid for all of this. we need a global distribution system for worldwide safety, not only given the fact that people are dying in surge countries, but variants are developing in surge countries and spreading worldwide. this requires a systematic political mobilization. but in the middle of this, we have a crazy kind of cold war that we are not speaking with china about, a coordinated strategy. we don't have the main players at the table. and these days you don't even need a table, you need zoom. that is all that is needed, actually, to get this done. financing can also be arranged. these companies also should abide by normal pricing. it is not that this should be -- the word is free-market. it is insane. this is not even a market. it is like auctioning seats on a lifeboat the way they are doing it right now. in other words, the most basic standards

the demand on the clinic has been nonstop since they gave out their first biontech jab in early april>> it has been a huge onslaught by both our own patients and those who have never been here. they drop by from all over the place. >> germany prioritized certain people at the start of the vaccination drive last december. the idea was to get the jabs into the arms of people who needed them the most including young people with special needs and the elderly. from monday, anyone age 12 or older can get their shots. some are already warning above shortage of the vaccine supplies. here at the clinic, doctors say they have been vaccinating people rather flexibly anyway and they think it is high time to end the priority system given infection rates are low. >> you have to seize the moment and get a lot of people vaccinated. it is right to lift the prioritization because otherwise we will not get the level of vaccinated people we need them by the end of september. >> after a slow start, the vaccine drive is finally on a roll in germany. almost 50% of germans have received their first shots and

i think we had positive news before were pfizer biontech said that there vaccine was being adjusted and is more flexible and modified to deal with new variants. this will not be the last time we are facing a new variant and the adaptability of new vaccines is important for us to deal with the outbreak longer-term. good news because the indian variant has been so dominant not only in that u.k. but also emerging elsewhere. to me, vaccination now will be a common feature. it is very clear that it is about managing it, whether we will get fully get rid of it is a different story. dani: with that in mind, how does it play into your investing thesis with variants rising, how do judge when it is time to shift gears? sonja: i think it is more of the question of shifting gears within the asset classes, as we started our discussion, it is still very clear, the economic recovery is fully underway. led by the u.s. who has moved towards midcycle, slightly so but now followed fully by europe and then with a slight like the emerging markets. the economic story is very clearly working perfectly. nursin

we have all heard the example of the pfizer and young tech -- biontech vaccine. but it was trade that helps to move the supplies around. we have also had constraints on trade, and restrictions. i challenge that we continue to face a monitor. while it is possible that the number of restrictions has come down, at the start of the pandemic there was 51. there are signs that the trade restrictions are still cutting off covid vaccine supply chains and weighing production. trade policy can help with vaccine scala and 3 -- scale up in three areas. first by freeing up supply chains for raw materials. second by working with manufacturers to make the most of exact -- existing production facilities and building new manufacturing capacity. especially in regions that lack it. working with manufacturers to keep supply chains open is essential for us to get more vaccines. we know that there is a debate going on at the wto. i cannot take sides, that we need to a conclusion and promote the transfer of technology to get lasting increases in production capacity. wto members can and
