much content as and that was eric fay golding an epidemiologist and senior fellow at the federation of american scientists taking to me earlier from washington d.c. and germany is struggling to cope with a surge of covert $1000.00 infections despite being in a soft lockdown for 5 months now the number of cases is going up and hospital say they are pushed to the limit also they the cabinet in berlin agree to approve new national measures to try and bring down infection rates the new measures require a change in the law to allow what is being called an emergency brake to be imposed in all parts of the country if certain conditions are met. well the new law would oblige all regions to implement the emergency brake if there are more than $100.00 covert cases per 100000 people in a 7 day period if that happens a curfew between the hours of 9 pm and 5 pm with then be imposed and all non essential shops would be closed. well says i will mark a welcomed what she called the urgently needed decision well done with us becky order to improve the situation and to slow down the 3rd wave to break it and turn

and earlier i spoke to eric fay golding he is an epidemiologist and senior fellow at the federation of americancientists in washington d.c. and i began by asking him what he made of this decision i think this decision and i want to emphasize a very brief temporary cause the f.d.a. says you know it might be just a few days on the investigator out of abundance of caution you know there's 6 cases but there's 6 cases out of almost 7000000 americans nations who are to prove that perspective that's one in a 1000000 that is 10 times lower than what you observed in germany in 4 times more than what you observed in the u.k. so this is a very very low risk thing so far and johnson and johnson is not major vaccine it's only 5 percent of all that seems currently delivered in to eat into the arms in the u.s. so i think it's out abundance of caution and the risk is much lower than what you seem regressions on this so what does this mean for the mass vaccination plan underway in the u.s. i mean will the impact be minimal. you know i think the impact will be very minimal our 1st was only for a few days we beli

overall we're not that much on time as right dr eric offending just and senior fellow at the federation of american scientists in washington d.c. thank you sir for your time. on germany's struggling to cope with a surge of covert 1000 infections despite being in a soft lockdown for 5 months the number of cases is going up and hospital say they're pushed to the limit on today the cam here in berlin agreed to prove new national measures to try and bring down infection rates of measures require a change in the law to allow what is being called an emergency brake to be imposed in all parts of the country if certain conditions are met. and the new law would oblige always to implement the emergency brake if there are more than $100.00 covert cases per 100000 people in a 7 day period if that happens a curfew between the hours of 9 pm and 5 pm would then be imposed and all non essential shops would be closed. and america welcomed word she calls the urgently needed decision but that it does beg the order to improve the situation and to slow down the 3rd wave to break it and turn it around the measures imple

attention as events and that was dr eric fake holding an epidemiologist and senior fellow at the federation of american section speaking to me earlier from washington d.c. well meanwhile here in germany has unlimitedly is keen to leave behind that what has been a very fragmented and largely unsuccessful pandemic response divided along state lines well in the midst of what is now a full blown covert 1000 crisis the german chancellor has won political control of the situation has revealed the details of a strict nationwide response to the pen demick should the situation continue to escalate. she wants more clarity and a more uniform approach to coronavirus measures in germany frustration had been mounting over the last few weeks as it became increasingly difficult for the federal government and germany's 16 states to agree on common shared rules to tackle the growing cold 1000 cases. the order to improve the situation and to slow down the 3rd wave to break it and turn it around the measures implemented thus far by the federal government and the states don't go far enough our response of the pandemic must

studies sample size or small dr eric began doing is an epidemiologist and senior fellow at the federation of american scientists he says there are advantages and disadvantages to almost all types of vaccines. vaccines are protect against severe disease and debts wonderfully well almost all vaccines do you get pretty well the question is you know how well this also protects against the variants because some argue that maybe the chinese maxine protects against marion's better because it prevents you mixture by the whole virus as opposed to just a spike protein we don't know for sure whether it's always better because in certain ways brazil had a huge number of infections brazil had huge number infections then in the placebo group with a lot of imprimis infections the already have been immune to lots and so that would also bring the efficacy lower than normal but it is it is something to be careful of and this is why to back seems to be a double vaccinations are much more important because with the side of back you were seen around 20 percent with just one vaccine so this wipes you vaccines is really ur

let's bring in dr eric he's an epidemiologist and senior fellow at the federation of american scientists joins me via skype from washington d.c. nice to have you on the program once again dr before we sort of get into the specifics of the issue with china and without creating any vaccine hysteria as there's really no need for that like scenes are not always 100 percent effective and that's normal say the w.h.o. so how do you persuade a skeptical skeptical public that taking a vaccine no matter how effective for now is important breakthrough vaccines are very important and again vaccines are against your disease and that's. almost all vaccines do you get a pretty well. and also by the way earlier our study about the fires regrets you know against it's not after your parents it's not that your parent doesn't work compared to no at sea it's now it's very it's causing more trouble. than all common current virus vaccine so that scene definitely does work sometimes there is no variance but this is why it's so important to approximate so we have less and less viruses circulating in did that stu

eric final doing he's an epidemiologist stand chief of covert risk communications at the federation of american scientists in washington d.c. is great to have you with us on the news hour for the lead person this looks an awful lot like the problems the astra zeneca vaccine has. a new vaccine and we're seeing some severe cases of blood coursing with low platelet campaigns i guess the 1st question many of our viewers will have as is this vaccine safe. first of all that's a question but a vaccine i think it's a very very safe just important perspective if only you found 6 o'clock of this very rare or severe or unusual out of 6.8 almost 7000000 rocks nations that were that's less than one in a 1000000 to good numbers prospective compared to how she's going to go that is 10 times lower than what you found with ashley seneca in germany in 4 times. lower than what you found in the case so this is this is a very very stream i don't think you can always compare some people say it might be a class effect because johnson johnson actions are going to pose out no viruses or different i've no viruses but. t

vaccine rollout let's speak now to dr eric feigele doing a who's an epidemiologist at the federation of american scientists joins us by skype from washington d.c. dr biden pleasure to have administered 100000000 vaccine doses within 100 days in office he doubled that perhaps it was one of the easier pledges that he succeeded in achieving but nevertheless he did well you know he went from 100 to then increasing it to 200 gold around 60 and on day 100 he's basically 220. and that's often see an enormous case u.s. has vaccinated 43 percent i was so are you wishing we could at least one of those 29 percent. vaccinated so there is good news on that front and i think. production will also from the ramp up. nevertheless we've seen infection rates rising in the united states and what about the efforts to counter that. well rates are rising in michigan but they've actually fallen recently and u.s. cases are actually on the decline and gone up that's good i think for most part most countries that. percent vaccinated are not seeing the surges that many other countries are seeing so that is really helping b

$3,000 a year of a raise for more than 300,000 americans who are working on the bottom end of the wage scale, even though their work is from contractors, or getting their money from the federal government. 300,000 or 400,000 american workers, that's a lot of american workers, but it's still a small because of republicans blocking that in the senate, and some conservative democratic senators trying to get it passed. republicans have been able to block that. instead, he is doing what he can, a sort of a big something. but it is what he can do on his own. joining me now is jerry bernstein. he is now on president biden's list of advisers. good to see you. thank you for your time tonight. >> great to be here. thank you. >> how much difference will this make on average for the federal contractors who are going to get a raise from this and how many americans will this affect? >> the american economic institute policy did a great analysis of that today. according to epi it will reach 390,000 workers and it will raise their annual pay by over $3,000 a year. that is real money. it's real economic justice and it's a 100-day biden promise and it is a promise kept. that executive order w
