i almost never take the j and i can get the j right at 30th. i always will pick the 14r over anything else because when i want speed and i think that it sounds like what we've heard overwomeningly, there's a lot of trips that don't make it to market central and people just really want to not have to deal with the intersection. it is challenging. i will support this one because i think this is a good customer service. i do want us to see if we can bring back the shuttles and figure out how we measure that. i think we've heard overwhelmingly people care more about convenience than speed and, you know, again, there's not a single person who's said, no, we really want to. we want that. that's i think. are there any other directors that have more to say or would anyone like to vote on the motions. >> director: i first want to say return the j cars to the subway x. what's the j line? >> 15. >> director: and i just want to point out we started this conversation noting that overwhelmingly our riders asked for better frequence riders at the frequency le

and j, they are not talking about j and j be any less effective. what they are saying is, is a minuscule, greater chance of some kind of complication, a taking the j and j vaccine, which they have not yet found in the other 2 back scenes that are widely available within the united states. and mike, what's the current situation across the u. s. right now in relation to cove at 19 numbers. it's terribly bleak. her the rate of infection has been increasing substantially in the region of 40 percent over the last month alone. there are some $120000.00 cases being reported each day. now, in terms of the death rate, some $1300.00 americans are dying every single day. so certainly the rate of infection is increasing substantially. health experts saying this is being driven both by the delta barrier as well. now, by the ami kron variant, which is becoming a more widely seen within the united states. and just to add as well, there's another complication, and that's a political one. what research indicates is that those living in republican states have far hi

j vaccine. have the other ones sold very well, isn't it for the advanced western societies to say you have a choice of vaccine, but continents like africa, don't the do? does president biden realize what he has said of the impact that could have now on countries that only really have the choice of the j and j drap? well, president biden was reacting to guidance offered by the cdc, acting on advice. all experts have been investigating this to make this very clear, the cdc has recommended that if the 3 vaccines are available, then rather take the ones that are not johnson and johnson. the reason for this is that some cases of, from bosis have been associated very rarely, particularly among women. however, that being said to the cdc still says that johnson and johnson is an acceptable vaccine that it is not recommending it's not used. it is recommending that the other 2 vaccines should be preferred, but the question you raised this is a very important one. south africa, for example, has just the na

>> i'm sure j&j is disappointed. i think it was also wise for the cdc not to put the kabosh on the j&j. it is still a very valuable vaccine. many insubstantials when people can't get mrna vaccines for allergies or what have you, may need a j&j vaccine. it will still be critical around the world as is astrazeneca, a very similar vaccine. we need to continue to have this as an option. >> things are constantly changing, right? you have questions and we have answers. head to nbcbayarea.com/coronavirus. we have the latest on vaccines and boosters, including a how-to video that shows you how to add your vaccine record to your apple wallet. >>> a man accused of killing a person face ad judge today. they say anthony solima walked off the job but then waited for a person to walk off his shift, shooting him wublgs in the head. braiser's brother said he had only worked at tesla for three weeks and he leaves behind a daughter. >> he was in a dark place at the time. and getting the job at tesla meant the world to him. he was happ

and j. but of course, you mentioned this does contribute to the issue around mixed messaging as well as hesitancy back. couldn't sell that for big sell africa began to roll out with astrazeneca that was halted abruptly because of concerns around efficacy. now you have an issue with j and j america saying, well, maybe we should hang on for a moment while we investigate that. african scientists are saying it's fine and also are expected to, in the coming days of to a trial with j and j and health workers will then perhaps roll out a booster shot of j and j to the general public. so me to put it all in perspective, poor countries on the african continent have no choice but to have the j. j vaccine because it does the job, it's easily stored, it's easily transportable. you mustn't down play. the effect is effectiveness of the vaccine that has saved millions of lives in africa. and that's the main message from health authorities in south africa, specifically, but talking to the broader continent

notice they didn't say don't use j&j. they said, if you have the opportunity, you should prefer the mrna vaccine. i understand that. two of my grandchildren got j&j. i'm glad they did. they've now gotten boosted within mrna vaccine, so they are in pretty good shape, like the person you just talked to. >> there was a recent report from the global health security index that placed the u.s. number one in some ways in terms of medical [indiscernible] but very low in terms of confidence in the government, which is so critical to public health. what do you make of that? what do you think we can do about it? >> you know, that is very troubling. i'm not too surprised. look around us, that everything you see, particularly in social media. in interactions with family and friends. we have in this country fallen into this divisive kind of set of tribal latitudes -- tribal attitudes, and some of those reflect deep distrust of the government, often times whipped up by conspiracies that spread leg wildfire through social media -- spread

over the j&j vaccine. the question i have for you are the populations that were hard to reach that defended what originally a one-shot dose. do you worry about the homeless, people in prisons and the international impact this decision could have? >> yes, i do. j&j did have this advantage of being a single dose and did not require a lot of refrigeration. it is not the case for a lot of mrna vaccines. it seemed like it was ideally suited for hard-to-reach places. it should still have a role there but if you're in a circumstance where all of the things are lined up to be able to choose, it is clear that the mrna vaccines provide you a high level of protection. j&j still gives you quite a bit, but the mrnas are little better. there is this rare blood clotting problem. it is why the cdc was look at the data yesterday and made their recommendation. they did not say don't use j&j, they said if you have the opportunity, you should prefer the mrna vaccine. i understand that. two of my grandchildren got j&j and i'm

so in terms of some of the flaws in the j. u a the by the ministration i think doesn't want to go back to it fully. but importantly, i think that by the ministration does the benefit to the jcp away. and i say there's not necessarily in a positive that, but they see benefit in being members the bottom ministration fees benefit in being phone numbers of the j. c p o, a. in order to use the g p a for 2 reasons. one to invoke. it's not back sanctions clause, which means that the united states could go to the security council at any time and snap back sanctions, not just from the united states, not just for the europeans, but for china and russia as well. the other reason that the united states sees the j c p a is useful, is that it's a useful platform to, they would say discuss that perhaps more accurately, each of pressure, iran and other issues like it missiles, regional developments, like, okay, i'd like to bring you in how many words as easy, you're a specialist on iran foreign policy. these are the 1st talks in what 5 months

the j church is a complex changebecause it not only affects j customers but all of our rail routes . the feedback we are currently operating the j church unjust on the service from church and market to the park and the feedback we've heard from customers is that this change has made it difficult to get downtown. people don't like to have to transfer . avery's concernsabout their pavement conditions which is being addressed . as well as some safety concerns related to the intersection of church and market. we also know through some of our technical analysis that the not having the j and the subway along with some of the other changes we've made is having a huge benefit to the reliability of service. and i'm just going to in the interest of time skip to slide 13 which summarizes some of the incidents. for j customers the travel time is about the same but they have to transfer. i think it's important to just fly back for many j customers this is not an improvement. having to make a transfer when youdidn't before can create challenges , it can create opportunities for trip breakdown. but

chu, let's talk about j&j, the vaccine. a lot of people not so happy with the j&j vaccine for a while, there was a lot of talk about side effects that it would have and there were questions about how effective it was. a new study, though, out today saying that perhaps the j&j vaccine is more effective against omicron and severe disease than the other, the booster at least, than the other shots. >> yeah, i think, katy, this is an exciting study. it provides real world data of how the j&j vaccine with a booster might perform. this is a look at nearly 70,000 health care workers in south africa who got an initial single shot of j&j and six months later received a booster shot and looked at how that worked in terms of vaccine effectiveness in preventing hospitalizations. they found the effectiveness at preventing hospitalizations increased to 85% one to two months out from the booster. and, you know, again, this is very contemporaneous data. this is in the omicron era. so it provides a lot of confidence for how j&j may perform r

i own pfizer and i sold j&j. it has nothing to do with the fact this j&j, and the performance is lackluster and within that performance being so lackluster, it is also a very, very tight range and because of that, as you know, when i own stocks i always own calls against my stocks and j&j, has sold options against because quite frankly, the implied volatility there is lower than where we were looking at it on the vix. at least it was, it was a 20 implied volatility and i'm getting close to a 40 implied volatility every single week that i'm selling in pfizer and i'm not getting that here so i'm not getting performance from the stock, and i can't get the performance that i'd like to get with the options so i am determined why not sell this stock now and then i'll focus some other stocks in the future >> i turn it over to you and you're in on health care and you also own j&j, and you disagree with pete? pete and i are looking in different directions and i'm looking at a core holding of the stock that can calm in a v

mrna of moderna, pfizer, then the j&j followed by mrna boost. if you look at the times two which means the standard vaccination then look at the pseudo-virus neutralization following the boost, the increment of that is rather profound. 19 times for the one on the left. 27 times in the middle. four times on the right. also if you look at the neutralization of multiple different variants by pseudo-virus analysis and look again at two separate studies, one from the vaccine research center at nih and one from duke university, note on the left panels for weeks following the second dose, look specifically at the pink bar. there you see a low level of neutralization with omicron. if you look at two weeks post the third or boosted dose, note how much it goes up. if you look at the omicron comparing in the duke line, it is about 2002 whereas after a second dose, it is only 62. a dramatic increase. another example if you look at the sensitivity of variants to neutralization by people who are vaccinated with the pfizer vaccine, if you look again five month

you run the j. c. p. your partners to provide the necessary stability and calm and reflection before anything happens that we will all regret you are speaking to israeli officials as well as the may speak to everybody. i speak to all involved countries on i'm talking to everybody. yes. it's part of my job and you're hopeful then for the future, i must speak and i'm doing everything possible to make sure that as i just said, that things will continue in a stable way. and that we will not go back to the baffled violence and war, which doesn't help anybody, the director general of the international atomic energy agency, raphael marianna grossi. thank you so much for talking to her yet. thank you very much. oh, there's a lot more to al jazeera than t v with our website, mobile app, social media and podcast. al jazeera digital is the world award winning online content. and each week on portal will bring you the very best of it. they're trying to frighten the people to leave it to go somewhere else. but the tru

it is a little lower number for other vaccines like astrazeneca and j&j.e're talking more $2 billion for those companies. but this is still a lot of money at stake for these companies. romaine: we should point out there was government involvement in this. taylor: can we get a little political and say that their words -- that there were some overseas doing it on a not-for-profit basis and those efficacy rates were not as high? kailey: i don't know, maybe causation or correlation. romaine: they have done well, at least the major ones. health care reporter joining us now to talk more about this. let's start off with the idea, when these shots first came out there was a lot of talk that this was a one-shot thing, pun intended, and maybe they would be a big windfall. we are now seeing there is a whole business model built around this. is this what these companies are talking about, that there is basically going to be a covid division of the business for quite some time? >> no doubt. pfizer alone will make more than $36 billion this year on the vaccine. that is

j vaccine.valuating the benefits of vaccination, the safety data, and rare adverse events. and the vaccine supply. following their discussion it , made a recommendation to preferentially use mrna vaccines over the j&j actsing. -- vaccine. i endorse the recommendation and agree with those emphasis importantly but given the current state of the pandemic here and around the world, any vaccination is better than none. individuals who are unable or unwilling to receive an mrna vaccine will continue to have access to j&j covid-19 vaccines. finally, as we head into the holiday season when many will be gathering with their loved ones, i want to again encourage everyone to utilize the proven prevention strategies that keep everyone safe. get vaccinated and boosted. mask in public settings. physical distancing, handwashing, improved ventilation and testing to slow transmission. we know that these strategies work and will help keep you and your loved ones safe and healthy this holiday season. that you i wi

j.lly think this major rotation actually began during his congressional testimony. i think things were flip-flopping around with the new variant from south african and the numbers there, but the rejection of the word transitory during congressional testimony has really sparked quite an interesting rotation in markets. it's not really a valued growth. i think if you look over the last few weeks, what you will see, especially at the end of november until now, has been investors piling into safety so whether that's utilities, whether it's the proctor and gambles and mcdonald's of the world, some of these things are up 11 to 12% over the last no weeks a. lot of people were yesterday talking about a value rally, because the 5:30s, the five and 30 years look like they were steepening. the middle part of the curve has really flattened out here in terms of future growth prospects. so there seems to be in terms of the equity markets concern that the fed might make a policy mistake. certainly the

and j.ng i would not recommend the vaccine to my family members. the 60 million americans to receive j and j, the concern is it causes a rare but serious blood clots. regulators spotted earlier the benefits of the j&j shot outweigh the risk. we have known for quite some time there was a rare risk of blood shots with the j&j vaccines, hence they are always behind the curve every time they are behind the curve. we knew this was the deal but they are saying if you get pfizer and moderna do that. carley: some businesses want help from police. >> there's this letter signed by 2 dozen retail chiefs asking congress for help. that letter is raising eyebrows. target, nordstrom, levi strauss and home depot. those companies signed the letter. foxbusiness learned many countries is companies donated to black lives matter, aclu, those groups rallied to defund the police. i said before on the show, when companies go out and get into social justice or any social issue that doesn't have to do with the core b

they're giving a booster dose of j&j to those workers. we'll know more about their level of protection against omicron. the data i'm getting is that health care workers that have one dose of j&j are getting infected, but not getting sick, not endtion up in the hospital, not requiring oxygen when they get hospitalized. they're having very short hospital stays. it looks like even a single dose of j&j is protecting yourself against severe disease from omicron, not protecting you from infection. >> bottom line, get your booster. thank you. >> take care. >>> coming up at the top of the hour, dr. anthony fauci joining cnn. he will be, of course, weighing in on the latest news about the vaccine's effectiveness and all things covid to be sure to join us for that. >>> house speaker nancy pelosi has just turned down a chance to say if she supports efforts to publish congressman boebert. the colorado republican suggested more than once that ilhan omar, because she's a muslim, might be a terrorist. >> cnn's chief congressional correspondent manu raju

j. and i think we've all known this for a while. it's unfortunate from a j and j's perspective, it probably was a two dose vaccine regimen from the very beginning, but they came out as a windows and i think that was a problem for them. so right now, i think j and j. well, it does give protection and it gives pretty good protection. um. modern and pfizer give better protection. but that j and j vaccine it does seem to play a critical role, especially in reaching those this really difficult communities such as the homeless , you know, with just one dose instead of two. it's disappointing. i would have loved to see one dose to change a b. all people needed and they would have had a robust immune response for a long duration. we just we're just not seeing that so yes, that's disappointing. you know, i don't want to say that j and j's are bad vaccine. it's certainly not fulfilled all of the criteria for being a vaccine that could be used to protect people and it does protect people. it's just

two of my grandchildren got j&j and i'm glad they did and i am glad they got boosted. >> that is very troubling and i am not too surprised. look at everything around us you see, particularly in social media, interactions with family and friends, we have fallen into this divisive set of tribal attitudes. much of that does seem to reflect a deep distrust of the government with conspiracies that have no basis in fact but we are in trouble as a society. we seem to have lost our anchor to truth. it depends on which tribe we are in, which information we hear and which information we internalize. oftentimes that information is not right. you have seen this play out in a way in which life-saving vaccines that were created in record time, the 50 million people who were saying no thanks -- they believe these are not going to be good for them. much of that based on false information. i am sure distrust of government spills over onto. >> you are both a scientist and a man of faith and you have tried to reach out to religious communities. what successes have you seen? are you frustrated by the res

the j&j vaccine, two months after that shot, you can get any booster.the mrna, the pfizer or moderna, though. >> here's another question. when should you be getting your booster at this point? should you get your booster six months after the second shot or after the two weeks following the second shot. it is confusing. >> well, you should get the booster -- if you've gotten pfizer or moderna, get your booster six months after that second shot. if you got the j&j vaccine, two months after that shot you can get it. >> okay. what should people do who have unvaccinated family members to help protect them? >> they should convince them to get vaccinated. that's the most important thing. obviously they should not go to large gatherings, they should wear masks, they should protect themselves, right, from going out. and this is a highly contagious variant. but, again, the best thing they can do for a family member as difficult as it is is to try to talk to them in a welcoming way that vaccination is the best protection for them. >> here is a final question, from
