let us not forget as we look back at the brief career with jerome adams in that job that he began his public utterance on television when the pandemic started to arrive in this country was to remind the american people of the virility and vitality of donald trump. that was followed shortly thereafter by the surgeon general saying we did not need mask wearing as a society. he later apologized for that and explained that he was looking to protect the medical trade and did not want civilians going out and buying up the ppe and leaving doctors and nurses unprotected. geoff bennett is at the white house and covering. what is of this day, at least, geoff, the first notable departure -- i'm just making sure that hazy memories and sympathetic press coverage do not fill in the blanks for what actually happened with jerome adams. >> everything you said is spot on, brian. we should mention that president-elect joe biden has tapped dr. vivek murthy to serve as his surgeon general and he's been briefing joe biden on his own time and own dime, frankly dieting back to the campaign, about the pandemi

jerome adams said to me, surgeon general, they've got to know that we care about them before they'reng to care about what we actually say. and the reason -- you talk about the tuskegee experiment. people out there have to understand how horrible that was. they were giving syphilis to black people deliberately for years, even after we had the cure, the experiment continued. horrible. there's a great deal of distrust for government. government can make up for that now by talking, person to person, on a level with people and explaining why they should take it, beginning with taking it themselves. molly: dr. marc siegel, thank you very much for joining us. we appreciate your insights, very helpful, such an important topic, especially right now. eric. eric: molly, a funeral service was held yesterday for louisiana congressman-elect, luke ludlow, his death attributed to coronavirus complications. he suffered a heart attack after undergoing surgery for a blood clot, 11 days after he announced he tested positive for covid-19. he was only 41 years old. more than 200 people gathered at the bap

anthony fauci and surgeon general jerome adams pushing back against the president's claim. >> i haveon to doubt those numbers. and i think people need to be very aware that it's not just about the deaths, as we talked about earlier. it's about the hospitalizations, the capacity. >> well, the deaths are real deaths. all you need to do is to go out into the trenches, go to the hospitals, see what the health care workers are dealing with. they are under very stressed situations. in many areas of the country, the hospital beds are stretched. >> california has seen the toll of this virus up close with hospitals being pushed to their limit. with me now is nbc's scott cohn live in san francisco. scott, what have you been hearing from front line workers there? >> reporter: well, they are frustrated, alicia, they are -- they are frightened in some cases. and in many cases, they are -- they are just downright exhausted. the numbers really tell a lot of the story here. we are within days now of hitting 2.5 million cases in california, since this pandemic began, adding tens of thousands of cases

. >> i heard the surgeon general, jerome adams over the weekend, state of the union, talk about what he thinks the problem is in terms of the vaccination rate not being up to what was promised and what we had all hoped for. so i want to play this for you if you think this reasoning makes sense. listen to this. >> when you ask what went wrong, we have to understand that this virus also occurred in the midst of a surge. and a lot of the local capacity to be able to vaccinate was being used for testing and responding to surges. >> what do you think of that, doctor? this was because so much was going to testing instead of vaccinations? >> he is right. that local and state health departments are totally overwhelmed, because we're asking the same people who are doing all the testing, who are doing contact tracing, who are doing public education and helping businesses to stay -- reopen safely, we're asking them to also do vaccination. but what the answer then should not just be to say, well, they're doing too much, so let's just let that be, but rather, the federal government should be sayi

and jerome adams is talking about the disparity about having the vaccine reach the african-american communitydemic, it actually worsened disparity and didn't end the pandemic because people who are most likely to get infected or end up in the hospital continued to be the ones of least likely to get the vaccines. >> sandra: so what are we doing about the hesitancy still in some communities to get the vaccine? >> dr. adams talk to me about how you do it on a community outreach basis 1-1 and you don't take no for an enabler. we have to overcome generations and generations of mistreatment of the black community by the medical establishment. then we talked to a religious leader at donald tusk again where they weren't even given antibiotics as well as the emphasis down there that says the church has to play major role. church communities can convince people to take a vaccine based on truth instead of the lies they were told before. >> sandra: we hope the vaccine gets out to those who need it as fast as possible. good to catch up with you. >> absolutely, thank you sandra. >> john: i had to come and

graduates include surgeon general jerome adams. >> was she someone who was going to make it all alongng to make it life. she had strong science background, but she also was very comfortable with people. we need more scientists who can connect to people. she could do that when she was 17 easily. what we do at umbc is to support students of color, black, but also students in general to make sure they make it in science. >> only 18% of all students graduate with a stem degree. according to the national center for education statistics. around 2% are black. >> it's important for those people to see people looking like them, like themselves who can be involved. if it's about women or if it's about blacks because it shows you have people who understood what you have gone through. >> dr. corbit and i worked together for 15 or 16 years, since he was in high school. >> not only her mentor. he's her boss. >> when you recognize somebody has special qualities, you need to do things that can keep those other things out of the way and avoid some of the dismissiveness that often happens not only to m

jerome adams tweeted this, the former surgeon general, people so freely suggest they would have lefthe was held to a different standard because she was a woman? i thought that was an interesting observation. >> i thought that was too, from the former surgeon general. he pointed out he felt he was being held to a different standard as well, for him and those tweets, he was the only person of color on that covid response, she was the only woman. i don't know, but i do know that it is worth asking that question of, you know, why do we give forgiveness for some and condemn the others. that broader point of not associating civil servants with politics is important because we need the experts to help us in moments of crisis. >> well, for those who didn't see it, i highly recommend it. it was extraordinary. she talked about -- the toll on her personal life. great job. thank you. >>> ahead -- >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> we'll talk with super model maye musk, the mother of elon musk, her son, the driving force behind tesla and spacex was already taking steps towards his successful car

something that israel is doing and both steven hahn and jerome adams both said to me they like the idea freezers and someone doesn't show up for an appointment have a b list. give it out to younger people. israel gave it out to 100,000 people. they have a list. i don't mean younger people necessarily. it can be older people. if it's a healthcare worker doesn't show up for their shot give it to an elderly person instead. don't let the vaccines perish. what we have has to be administered. it has to get into arms. that part is easy. >> sandra: michael goodwin is taking on cuomo in the "new york post" in an opinion piece. their deadly failure on the covid-19 vaccine given the continue lockdown of restaurants and businesses here the failure to urgently use the vaccine is unforgivable. people will die and more jobs vanish. dr. siegel at the federal level the president says we got the vaccine, it's approved. multiple companies have a vaccine out there. they secured the millions of doses, then it was up to the states to distribute them and administer them. so when you look at this, where should

the outgoing surgeon general has submitted his resignation, jerome adams, who has become a householdin the coronavirus fight. it will be an acting surgeon general appointed and working this afternoon before the biden nominee dr. vivek murthy can be names. the weather is actually strange. i can tell you now a bit of some snow flurries coming in. certainly is above freezing, but up here at this altitude where we are and really about the same height as where president biden will be, a lot of things in the atmosphere here. but it's a sunny day. could be far worse weatherwise. we'll see if that impacts his speech. wolf? >> i suspect it won't. he's going to be delivering the speech. they have those heaters up there as well as i remember having spent time over the years covering the inauguration. there's no doubt that priority number one for the incoming president will be dealing with this covid pandemic that's getting worse and worse, even as there are these two vaccines available. >> jeff makes a very important point about the urgency to get the biden team in place. you want the defense s

signing a mask mandate, signing an executive action to form his white house team, the surnt general, jerome adamsou even as we are el doing with the panned, he ask dealing with realities of racism in the country. as i think through what we just witnessed, amanda gorman continues to come to mind. that 22 year old poet laureate who talked about a skinny girl, descendant of slaves who can then recite poetry for a president. she said the nation is not broken, simply unfin inned. joe biden is focusing on trying to firn the work of this country. >> woodruff: no question, i think all of us will reflect and go back and read and watch again amanda gorman's remarks. again stunning at 22 year old would deliver those remarks. and yamiche, on the mask mandate, quick clarification, that will be on federal property only. so when you are on federal property, you will be required to wear a mask, is that right? >> that's right. and interstate travel. joe biden is also saying he is encouraging, his aides tell me he is encouraging state and local officials to also have their own sort of encouragement to have america

officials that president trump hired to be on the coronavirus white house task force including jerome adamsone so quickly. we have seen a lot of red tape with states having to distribute the vaccine, and so working through those regulatory issues in a brand-new administration with a large bureaucracy is certainly going to be a challenge, but i hope that the president can get through it and then americans get what they need. hope is not a strategy.p we will have to see exactly what happens in the coming days, a se there are notices up on all the sites, hospitals, pharmacies, they don't have vaccines. this is new jersey. this is one of the places, one of the top three places of cases at one point during the pandemic, more cases than anywhere in the world. so you know, we have a lot of respect for how you get things going and we have not been able to see that get going. and we are not the only state. i just point to it because people around the country will know new jersey, new york, those were areas that led the pandemic numbers in an awful way very early on. katie, i am curious about those n
