dr. joseph kim is an immunologist and ceo of info very yo pharmaceuticals, i hope i pronounce that right, company credited with developing the only ebola vaccine made from a syntheticvirus. dr., great to have up the real story today. >> it's great to be here, gretchen. >> all right, so your vaccine is called sin con, right? >> yes. >> and tell me about it. >> well, unlike other vaccines, which uses different viruses to deliverer them, we use synthetically manufactured dna or code as a product so it has the potential to be much safer much quicker to develop and much easier to scale up the manufacturing. >> in other words, for the layperson who is not a physician like you are, you would not actually be using the real ebola virus in the vaccine? >> correct. we actually develop and design all of our products using you the computer, use the dna code or genetic code of a viral target, like ebola. and then we make manufacturer, synthetically scale them up and test them in animal and also in clinical testing as well. >> okay, so we know that when vaccines are being made and being tested, it can b

dr. joseph kim, ceo of inovio.performer today, not only just today against theism bb but also year to date against the ibb, a significant under -- although massive year last year up 400%. >> went from two to ten. extraordinarily volatile stock. obviously -- i don't think they are going to be profitable for quite some time but a big short interest. names like this, the environment we are in, short interest people tend to get squeezed. i don't think you can buy it here, way too volatile but opportunity to buy this stock. >>> breaking news, united airlines is the story, kate rogers the details in the newsroom. >> that's right. cdc confirm irk the man positive for ebola in the u.s. did travel part of his trip on united airlines. the director of the cdc saying there is zero risk of transmission because he wasn't symptomatic until after his trip was over. united airlines down 3% on the day along with other major headlines. >> thank you so much. >> this me minds me, a guy negative on tesla, negative battery buyers, not co

dr. joseph, those of the '60s yesterday. bumps the chilly air back up to the north again. it looks like the cooler air wil settle software to a bit a later in the week. >> nick until it is autumn when you look at the big picture in the short days up near the arctic. that is the air that spills down into our area. we lay down a solid canadian snowpack. 65 and naperville. these are other temperatures from the '60s. lots of sunshine today where the clouds are moving in. there is the view from the western suburbs. look at the fall colors of in that area. a little patchy clouds will not totally hide the sun. we are getting radar returns across the west. maybe dodging a shower or two. a lot of clouds. a pullout later tonight. maybe a shower early. >> our models are showing it coming into their region. the latest weather system to bring the anomalous range heavy rains to the desert. they're watching that. what is interesting watched the track of this t it weather system later in the week that will bring heavy rain to downstate areas. there is the forecast tomorrow evening. it the

dr. joseph mccormick. he is the regional dean at the university of school of public health.ood morning to you. >> good many. how are you this morning? >> doing well. there's a lot of talk about whether or not this 21-day mandatory quarantine is needed. what do you think? >> well, i think that if it's going to be done, it should be done in a different way. i don't think that the way this nurse was treated is acceptable. . she represents the best of who we are. she should be treated like a hero and given every due respect and not treated clearly the way she was. i think there are alternatives to this. they could test her each day for the presence of ebola virus as well as some other measures that would give a very early sign of whether somebody is infected or not. and i think that that is another alternative to simply treating this person like they are threatening the entire health of the united states. surely the governors didn't intend this. why didn't they put together a team, a group of people who will greet these people and treat them with respect and give them the servic

dr. joseph kim is hoping when it's time to begin vaccinations against ebola, the vaccines will be those developedis plymouth meeting-based company. >> the first clinical studies will be in the u.s., in healthy volunteers. they will receive the vaccine which has zero chance of causing the disease. >> reporter: no chance of contaminating the public he says, because unlike his competitors, his vaccine developed in anovia's california lab, shown here in video provided bit company is a synthetra vaccine, manmade, base the off the dna of ebola and does not contain a live culture of the virus. already proven successful on animal testing last year, kim says he hopes to begin human testing soon. now that ebola is present in the united states, it is now time to act quickly to get a vaccine here approved. and dr. kim says that in times like these when a pandemic is present in the united states, the government acts quickly to try and get these vaccines to market. he also tells me that in other cases, the other vaccines, there are other companies that are developing them, a few steps ahead of this company. he

dr. joseph kim says any vaccine needs to be able to treat a broad spectrum of strains.he says researchers in the company's california lashes have been working on vaccines for ebola and certain cancers for the last 14 years. >> the very strain that came with the liberian man to dallas, texas, is distinctly different than a second outbreak that's quietly going on in congo. so our vaccine is the only vaccine that could protect against both strains of ebola virus. >> reporter: this isn't the first or only company developing ebola vaccinations in the united states. dr. kim says his vaccine is different because workers seen here in video provided by the company, are not using live strains of the virus. he says the vaccine is developed off of dna and no live forms are injected into testing subjects. when it comes to test phases, trials, he says,age anim agon at year, proved 100% effective. >> the control animals that did not get the vaccine died in a matter of two or three days. there was a clear, lethal exposure. >> so when you can expect something like this to hit the market

dr. joseph poitier is the jail's chief psychiatrist. at miami-dade for the past ten years. >> jails have in fact become mental institutions. i would say that 20% of those who are incarcerated have a mental illness. a large part suffer from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression, severe forms of mental illness. >> the mentally ill is a very serious problem within correctional facilities today. unfortunately, there's a growing trend. a lot of the mental state hospitals have closed down and the only options to the police agencies are to bring them to the jails. that's a problem for us because those inmates are a lot more unmanageable than the regular inmate population. >> come on, take your medication. >> while the ultimate goal of the staff here is to provide proper medical care so that the inmates can cooperate with their lawyers and eventually leave the jail, maintaining safe and sanitary conditions is a daily challenge. >> usually our procedures are right now that we wake up the inmates, we go ahead and handcuff them. take a s

dr. joseph mccormick, a professor and dean at the texas school of health, formally, the world health organizationhe cdc. another caregiver infected with ebola at this hospital. clearly, protocols were not followed? >> exactly. no question about it. and the protocols were not followed from day one to today, that's very clear. >> well, that's shocking to hear that because this was a case, thomas eric duncan, once it was finally diagnosed. once after he was finally admitted to that hospital, the whole world was watching. >> exactly. >> the entire medical community in the united states, including the cdc was watching. you were saying while everyone was watching in plain view that the protocols were not followed? >> it's clear that they were not. i think elizabeth cohen is probably correct in the sense that there was a tremendous amount of complicencecy. when you look at what's going on in west africa, and we've got everything and nothing is going to happen in our hospital, and i think it's just not that easy. it just isn't. and without protocols, i mean -- i ran a program for 15 years in sierra leone

dr. dilip joseph made ten lengthy trips to afghanistan over 4 1/2 years.ch of his time in rural villages and was well aware of the dangers by taliban but somehow he avoided any direct contact, that, is until his last horrifying trip. >> there are not a lot of situations where taliban holds you and you make it out alive? dr. dilip joseph is the medical director of a nonprofit group that trains health care workers in afghanistan. after spending the morning of december 5th at a remote clinic he and his interpreter and colleague were driving on the road returning to home base to kabul when suddenly a man with an ak-47 stepped out from a hiding place. >> when he shot the wanting shot, what was your reaction. >> the first thought that went through my mind was, crap i can't believe this is happening. one from the back two from the front. >> you were surrounded. >> we were surrounded right away. >> they were driven to a nearby valley and hiked to the top of a valley where they demanded a ransom of $300,000. he knew that was impossible. >> i knew almost certainly i

dr. joseph mccormick. good to have both of you here.bility matters in a situation like this it's not about a blame game. but it's about who's in charge, who's doing the right thingsments because this is not in-depth science we're talking about. what do you see with the experience you've had, dr. mccormick in dealing with ebola outbreaks and what it takes to get it right. what do you think is going on here? >> i think there was a certain level of confidence that was probably misplaced. the cdc has been there, i don't know what they've been doing. but they've been there. clearly they've been in contact with the hospital. and yet, all of the litany of things that we've just heard were not done. >> because the nih and the cdc both say they, they, they, but dr. van tulleken, they are they, right? they're in charge, they're there in the hospital, they could be changing protocols like that, they know what to do. >> when you hear anthony fauci saying this shouldn't have happened. the necks br exposed. you follow the protocol exactly and yet can

dr. joseph mccormick investigated the first ebola outbreak back in 1976. dr.cormick joins me via skype. he's the co-author of "level 4, virus hunters of the cdc." appropriate we're speaking with you, sir. thank you for joining me. >> my pleasure. >> let's talk about the news of the day. nina pham downgraded from good to fair. in your mine, what does this mean? is it because she's just evolving through the illness? is this a natural suspected progression? >> i suspect that it's a different medical system, slightly, a different care system. they may have evaluated her differently from the way they were evaluating here at presbyterian. i don't think there's a huge difference and i don't think it necessarily represents any deterioration in her condition. >> okay. let's get right to your experience in africa. i know you've sent us a few pictures, one of which shows a medical worker wearing protective gear in the congo from 1976. another one, typical patient in isolation from sierra leone. talk to me about what's changed since then in terms of protecting workers and

dr. joseph girlberger and his wife, they studied pellagra which is a nutritional deficiency disease caused by the lack of niacin or be 3 in their region. the abundant south was worlds away from the north carolina sharecropping families that photographers in university of north carolina sociologist documented in the summer and fall of 1939. unc sociologist margaret heygood wrote in her notes the traditional southern pattern of overflowing tables with many sorts of meats simply does not exist in this group. in the 1940s social scientists analyze the rigid racial codes that daily shaped like in the segregated south including its food habits. and rosa amazing books that document this process. also in this year and new deal documentary literary projects offered eve talkative descriptions of regional food waste. i will give you one example. great folklore trained at columbia record the story of florida's ditty what city and a paradise where the food is already cook to. she collected recipes, quote, gleaned from antebellum homes in this city america east project as blames grandmother's cook book

dr. joseph mccormick joins from us brownsville, texas. 's the regional dean at the university of texas school of public health. should dr. craig spencer, the doctor in new york, diagnosed with ebola do you think he should have been quarantined earlier, knowing that he came straight from the hot zone after treating patients? >> i suspect that he had should have, yes. i think that when you are exposed to the level of virus that we're seeing in west africa, you clearly have a risk that's higher than if you're exposed, say, to somebody in a hospital here in the u.s. so, yes, i suspect that would have been a good policy. >> so, do you think, let's pull the thread and take a step further do you think this should be a national policy? the cdc should then follow the lead of new york and new jersey here? >> i think for someone who has cared for patients in west africa, it would be very prudent to put them into, certainly, a very limited travel and contact with the public. whether it's a full quarantine, i suspect you may have to do a full quarantin

dr. joseph mccormick, he helped investigate the first ebola epidemic in central africa. dr. mccormick, let me start with you. someone is on a cruise ship, that is as we know a petry dish. w how do you feel about that? >> the whole issue of self-monitoring is very disappointing. those people who have been in contact with material specimens or with the patient should have been under active monitoring and certainly should have been under travel ban. >> dr. adalja, is it time for anyone from texas presbyterian to stop traveling? >> i really think that we don't really know what happened with this infection control lapse and this exposure may be much wider, because dr. friedan is thinking we may expect more health care workers to test positive. so i think everybody at texas health presbyterian has to assess their exposure risks to mr. duncan's body fluids and they should be self-monitoring and not moving around. >> if it's up to the person to think about their exposure and to decide on their own, that's why we're having all of these inconsistencies, isn't it? does there need to be

dr. joseph mccormick a professor at the university of texas school of public health. he worked for the cdc in 1976 investigating the first ebola epidemic in central africa. it's great to have you here and your expertise. it sounds like there are three possible ways for this nurse to have gotten ebola. either a breakdown in protocol, a breakdown in training or human error. she says she followed all of the protocol and she wore the protective gear, what do you think went wrong? >> i would actually treat all of those things as basically the same thing. the training should be part of the protocol, and isn't at the moment. the cdc has distributed two different protocols for putting on and taking off protective gear. >> how do they differ? >> you can choose whichever one you want. and the protocols contain very little information of what to do when you breach protocol, when mistakes are made. gloves break, gowns tear, we're talking about very sick patients. i would treat all of that the same. the nurse is absolutely not to blame. we have to think of this as a pack j of trai

dr. dennis joseph joins us now.hare this incredible story. you can imagine that so many americans listening thinking about the fate of the hostages that still remain, the american veteran up next, threatening to behead him. you were held by the taliban and you make some striking comparisons between the taliban and isis. >> thank you for having me, kimberly. it's great to be here. my situation with taliban, it was certainly an unexpected situation in spite of having some security protocol that we follow. that day turned out to be very different than we all expected. my four days with -- it's very easy to understand the ideology behind all these groups. anyone that kind of stands in the way of their ideology is put away with and that's probably the only comparison i can make with isis and also seems like isis is much more extreme in many ways than taliban has been or at least what we've heard about the taliban. in my few days, i got to unfortunately understand a bit more of the intri chassis of the networks, from a ve
