dr. fauci speak more of the trials you say they are under way how will they work and what else you hope to learn? >> the process takes a couple of months. these are vaccines made by the same companies with the same process that we do each year with seasonal flu so it is something we are quite familiar with so it is a -- and not a fan to new -- brandi process because we have made a vaccine similar you want to ask fundamental questions in a limited number of individuals. first, immediately is it safe? does anything strange happen? it is very unlikely but you want to look but what is the right dose? isn't a standard dose with the flu virus or one or two viruses or doses? hopefully we'll get that which it is in coincide with the implementation program for the new h1n1 but is seasonal flu will go on like it does every year anyway because that is something we do no matter. >> is there infrastructure to manufacture the vaccine? >> yes in general there is not enough infrastructure for everybody in the

caller: good morning, dr. fauci. read in the 1970's when we had the swine flu vaccine, one of the side effects was -- my son had it. should he get the swine flu vaccine this time? guest: if your son had back hundred -- to that country indication, it is a country indication of vaccinating. -- it is a contra-indication of vaccinating. we have not seen it before or subsequent to 1976, anybody who has that propensity for that kind of reaction should avoid it. host: maryland, high there. caller: thank you for taking my call. what makes a virus seasonal? how does it know it is the right season? if it is a fall and winter season here, is it a spring and summer disease in the southern hemisphere? guest: if it is fall and winter here, it is spring and summer in the other hemisphere. in answer to the first part of the question, it is likely, though not 100%, multiple factors, one of which is that in the fall and winter, people tend to congregate in close places with poor ventilation, but also viruses do better in dry, cold cli

dr. anthony fauci. for being with us. >> good to be here. >> some people may look at the relatively low fatality numbers. and the speed that this is being rushed to market. and think, you know what? i'm going to take my chances. why is that wrong-headed? >> i think it's wrong-headed because we know what this virus is doing. it hit us hard in the spring, which is unusual for influenza. what we're seeing in the southern hemisphere, which is their winter right now, that there's serious spread and serious disease, in places like argentina, chile, south africa, and australia. so, we can expect when the schools open and we get to our fall and winter, that we'll be seeing a lot of cases of flu. it hasn't gone away. we haven't seen a lot of it. we've seen it break out in camps during the summer here in the united states. but if things go the way flu usually goes, we will very likely see an upsurge of cases in the fall. when they start seeing that, i think people's minds will change about getting vaccinated. >>

. >> okay, dr. fauci. we appreciate your insight, as always. >> good to be here. >> okay. kate? >>> bill, we turn to the swearing in of judge sotomayor to the nation's highest court. the ceremony takes place this morning. and for the first time ever, it will be televised live. sotomayor will be the third woman and the first hispanic justice on the supreme court. abc's legal correspondent jan crawford greenburg. historic day for the nation. and special day for the family and the judge, right? >> reporter: that's right. they sat right behind her during the tough confirtion hearings. and they're going to be here in the grant setting of the supreme court. as the chief justice swears her in, making her the only h sjuh justice in the nation's history. and they're having this at the court instead of the white house, because the president wanted to stress the independence of the judiciary. the confirmations have gotten partisan and politicized. they wanted to send a message that the court is above politics. >> right. you were telling us intlesing things about what it's like to be the ju
