. >> johns hopkins, i guess, is highly respected, great place.hey did a -- a study, comprehensive. the countryies best and worst prepared for an epidemic, and the united states is now -- we're rated number one. we're rated number one for being prepared. this is a list of the different countries. united states is rated number one, most prepared. >> you know, the president's coronavirus briefings would of course quickly become a near daily parade of dangerous lies and disinformation about coronavirus. but that thing that he said there, the first one was actually true. johns hopkins really did do a comprehensive assessment of pandemic readiness in all the countries in the word, and the u.s. did come out on top. best labs. best health institutes. beast research universities. best pharma companies. we had the best of thefrg. still do. but it turns out it matters what you do with it. it doesn't matter how great the car is if you can't drive. despite all the ostensible readiness, we of course have been absolutely abysmal at handling this virus. we're a

rif adan of the berman institute of bioethics at johns hopkins university and a member of the world healthorganization's kovan 1000 vaccines working group thank you for your thoughts. my pleasure. and now it is over to our resident corona virus experts t w science correspondent derrick williams answering your questions about the bend i make. this the vaccine is not 100 percent effective can you still catch the virus after vaccination 1st of all no vaccine that we've developed for any diseases ever provided perfect protection to everyone although although a few like those for measles or for polio come very close but because every person's immune system is different in some people exposed to sars cove to the new vaccines will not stop the corona virus in its tracks trials in healthy volunteers indicate however that the candidates now being authorized for use in countries around the world are highly effective at doing so in most people it's kind of complicated but a simplified way of quantifying the efficacy demonstrated in trials would be to say that if you haven't been vaccinated you're aro

john hopkins did a study of globalandemic preparedness coming out december of last year. and it looked at the whole world to see which nions are the best prepared to handle a pandemic. it was a pretty dismal report to be honest but one nation stood above allthers and it was the united states. this is a country percent of the population and more than 20 percent of the deaths. so obviously it's one thing to have everything a hand but other to act on it to understand how to deal with the problem we have a hand. so this brings me to a we've been hearing about i the anti- resistant bacteria. twentieth century was supposed to be the century that we cheered to thesehings. having to do with the dangers that the disease c cause. but i was surprised to read the resistant bacteria actually began and world w ii in the 20th century dealing with this for almost 100 years. >> the phenomenon forhis is a natural phenomenon otherwise he would have only one nd of bacteria all over the world or the ente planet this has been going on with evolution one bacteria develops and then the antibioti

for more let's bring in ruth faden she is the founder of the berman institute of bioethics at johns hopkins university and a member of the world health organization's kovan 1000 vaccines working group welcome to you where do you see the biggest challenges for a fair distribution of these vaccines the challenges are enormous at a global level and also within countries. the global challenges have to do with the fact that poor reasons we can. easily understand it's not completely defend wealthy countries of the world have made their primary commitment securing vaccines for their own population this has resulted in a state if it can't lock on supply for some vaccines for the forseeable future countervailing. challenge is the existence of something called the kovacs facility which is a global commitment to provide vaccine to all peoples of the world what kovacs needs is more financial support from wealthy countries more money coming in to kodak's and also we need more wealthy countries who are not currently part of the kodaks collaboration to be at least thinking about an bilateral commitments t

the johns hopkins school of medicine in baltimore seniors scholar of infectious diseases.f all, welcome. how was your first shot? >> it went perfectly well. no side effects, over 24 hours since that shot, no fevers, no aches or pains so i am doing well, i checked in on the cdc apple twice and reported that i have no symptoms so everything is going well. eric: that's great to hear. now talk about moderna, which will be going out this week. what are the differences between the moderna shot and the pfizer shot? does one have an advantage over the other? >> for the present being vaccinated, there's not a real difference between the shots. the moderna shot, the second versus four weeks versus three weeks. the distribution challenge is less for moderna because it's a less stringent cold chain meaning you don't have to keep it at the cold temperatures as rigorously as you do with the pfizer vaccine so that will be easier to get the vaccine closer to people who need to be vaccinated. it can be done in drugstores and doctors offices at mass vaccination sites rather than places that
