anna durbin of the johns hopkins bloomberg school of public health.guess as with any vaccine that has only been around for a year or so, you have got to weigh the possible benefits against of the potential longer term side effects. are we concerned at all about longer term side effects here? dr. durbin: so far we have not seen long-term side effects and all the people we have been following who have received the vaccine. now, that's primarily adults but it does not appear at this point, and again we are only six months to eight months into giving these vaccines, but we have not seen, not seen long-term side effects, which is very encouraging. we will continue to follow people and of course young adolescents and children as they get the vaccine, but i would say that right now it's very, very encouraging. amanda: of course, long term is something of a misnomer in a pandemic that's 18 months old and for parents we know that the hesitancy might be different for their children than it is for themselves. especially prepubescent children. what do we say abou

my daughter is a graduate of the great johns hopkins university.project, to write this book, and does it apply to what you've seen on your campus? >> so there's several things. first and foremost, it starts with my sense that this really is a seminole moment in democracy, not just in this country but, indeed, internationally. we see country by country outside of the united states going from democracy to authoritarianism. we see things like was discussed around january 6th. we understand polarization, extremism, misrepresentation of fact and so forth. all of these things are perilling our democracy. it is in this context that one has to think about the core institutions of democracy and the role they can play in fortifying democracy in this moment. typically, we think about courts. we think about the media as guardians of our democracy, elected representatives in government. but the truth is, the university is also, to my mind, an absolutely critical site for how we bolster and make democracy stronger. we do that in a number of different ways, start

johns hopkins joins us now. the mr. i have right now is the ability to takemrna which is a sophisticated vaccine to work countries. i believe you told me you are optimistic we can do that. why aren't we taking things that work and disturbing them abroad? >> right now, there is capacity which is increasing almost on a weekly basis. we don't really have the limitations in terms of making decisions about who to prioritize in terms of countries. we have enough vaccine to go around and it's a distribution issue in falls into the economic ring where you have to decide who is paying for these vaccines and how to distribute them and get them to the places where they are most needed. we have a surplus in the u.s. other countries are still waiting to get any amount to move things forward. tom: how much does each vaccine cost? i have no idea what it costs to get my booster shot >> no one does and that's one of the things that's an advantage in the u.s. and many other countries. anywhere from 25-$40 for a vaccine dose is what is pr

the ceo from the johns hopkins center for health security is going to talk about the tragic breakthrough killed colin powell. amanda: spotify reacting on an intraday basis the word that apple is doubling down in the music space. overall a positive session and you are seeing the tech heavy consumer discretionary and tech. we are seeing oil trading at multiyear highs today. a very high level. good for those looking at oil prices coming up. bad for all the businesses for whom that is an input cost. there is your 10-year just below that level where we seem to have settled in post that roadmap from the federal reserve on tapering. bitcoin is gaining today. you might expect that on a day when there's a fair amount of news in the bitcoin space. this comes as asset manager proshares is poised to launch the first bitcoin futures etf. it will invest primarily in coin futures contracts, not primarily in bitcoin. that is because for a little bit of controversy because that could mean -- it adds a level of complexity to this investment for the investors in the space. matt: you are almost guaranteed t

from johns hopkins yesterday, 1500 deaths a day is totally unacceptable. we need to get below 100 deaths. jonathan: the new rule covers 160,500 workers. 71% of partially or fully vaccinated according to the official estimates. 70% of police and only 60% of fire department personnel have received at least one shot. you can see where the focus is. tom: it's a huge topic as well. can i touch on something which i think it's vital? i'm as guilty of this as anybody, focusing on big names. dover yesterday, it's a venerable american company back in the 19th century. they make stuff that falls underfoot and makes it hurt. dover came out with sterling earnings and a constructive report. j.p. morgan said it was better than fear. their fear is out there and funding manufacturers are nailing it. they are up 140% off the pandemic bottom. jonathan: we improve margins year-over-year despite well advertised supply chain logistics and availability challenges. margins better. not for everyone but that's where the focus is. lisa: sales are going so gangbusters and at a fast s
