an associate professor at emory, university.ng been a proponent of vaccinations, obviously, j&j, all of them. it was a month ago, you retweeted the likelihood you will suffer long-term infections is way higher than any theoretical risk from a vaccine. it still will, given how rare this complication is with j&j. i guess your thoughts with everyone on j&j. >> hi, poppy. thanks for having me back. the key points i would tell those who are vaccinated. again, a reminder is that this complication that created this pause is very rare. so again, six reported cases among over 6 million that received the vaccine. i also think it's important to remember the pause is the right thing to do. it's evidence of the system working the way it's supposed to. complications identified. expert scientists quickly assembled to review the evidence and that same group of experts is scheduled to reassemble on friday. this the the ccip advisory on immunization practiceles. i suspect they will come with recommendations how to safely re-introduce this vaccine

carlos del rio, the executive associate dean at emory university school of medicine at grady health system is these adverse side effects, rare blood clotting in six women, by the way, ages 18 to 48. 18 to 48. six women. out of 6.8 million doses administered, dr. tell rio. so what's your take away here? >> well, thank you, john. i think the first take away is that it's a very rare event. i mean, you're talking about one per million. when you give millions of doses of vaccines you will see events like this that you couldn't see in the clinical trial just because you didn't have millions of people enrolled. so, it probably is related. it's rare. but i want to congratulate the cdc and the fda for very quickly jumping on it, halting the vaccinations until we know more and really trying to understand what's going on. i think vaccine safety has always been a priority. and i think this is exactly the right move until we understand what's going on and what's the way forward. >> i have a lot of friends who have gotten this vaccine. so, i think anyone who has gotten it in the past few weeks want to k

carlos del rio now, profession of medicine specializing in infectious diseases at emory university doctorank you. vaccinations are up, but so are cases and hospitalizations you probably heard the former fda commissioner dr. scott gottlieb says he expects cases to drop dramatically going into may. do you see that happening? >> i think it could start to happen we need to continue vaccinating very aggressively, and i worry that we're rapidly transitioning our country from a sort of supply issue, a scarcity issue with vaccines to a demand issue. there are many places that are simply not having enough demand, and we have to get the vaccine to the people that are currently very reluctant, and i will tell you the most reluctant communities are rural communities, primarily white evangelicals and we really need to get to those communities to vaccinate them. >> white evangelicals and black people in rural areas like the mississippi delta. they're both really troubling for doctors. and you know, critics are saying, dr. del rio that they point to states like texas as an example of why all states shou

carrol anderson who teaches at emory university, has referred to the mississippi plan, a template of state law as, quote, a dizzying array of poll taxes, literacy tests, understanding clauses, newfangled voter straidges rules and good -- registration rules and good character clauses. all of these were intentionally racially discriminatory but dressed up in the genteel garb of the day of bringing integrity back to voting. a politician who sought to replicate the mississippi plan in the state of virginia noted that their goal -- he was very blunt in what he said -- noted their goal was to, quote, eliminate every black voter who can be gotten rid of legally without materially impairing the strength of the white electorate. today's voter restrictions might not involve poll taxes, lit are aty tests -- literacy tests or counting beans in a jar. georgia's new voting law is a deliberate effort to suppress voters, particularly voters of color. there is no other way to describe it. when the law includes provisions that make it harder for georgians to vote. let me give you some examples. i read
