for the suffering of dr robert gucci an associate professor of sociology at lancaster university thanks for coming on the program today do you think the guilty verdict against derek show over and will be sufficient to pacify protesters or will their grievances continue do you think. well i mean i'll tell you my reaction last night was to take a deep breath after after that. and i think there are so many things coming through the reporting that you all just did that shows how this one conviction isn't going to be the linchpin isn't going to be the civil war which might be inappropriate to say but it may not be that needle on into to get. to change that people want in the united states and i think there are a lot of individuals particularly local white individuals and of us who say yes this is it this is accountability this is change you're moving in the right direction and i think as your reporting just showed we're still in a fog of mass over issues of race and more importantly. it seems that citizens just aren't willing to do what it takes to get police to fall in line and by that i me

brent: for more now, i am joined by a virologist from lancaster university in the u.k.ood to see you . the stop of the johnson & johnson vaccine in the united states, what do you make of that decision? >> i think it's really unfortunate news, particularly becae thisas the only single shot vaccine that was approved and is one of a few vaccines being rolled out in the u.s. this is a vaccine we were considering an alternative to astrazeneca vaccine concerns, because it could be stored at a lightly refrigerated temperature. looking at the data out of the u.s., there is no such concerns with pfizer and moderna vaccines compared to what we have seen with johnson & johnson. this clearly indicates there is some general concern. although those are rare elements that are not normally seen in a normal population, blood clotting, that something we need to watch for very carefully in the coming days. brent: this is a double whammy for the european union, because astrazeneca has been paused for people under the age of 60 because of fears of blood clots, and now johnson & johnson says

let's get some more perspective on this story with mohamed when there is a viral i just add lancaster university and they u.k. mohamed it's good to have you back on the you do you think that it was the right decision to pause the johnson and johnson vaccine rollout. to the number of vaccines that if you can get them in the united states as the report indicated majority of them being by pfizer going to the small fortune 5 percent and johnson and this that block blocking can somehow is not being reported in the pfizer and they're not lax and. large scale so this means that there is some serious concerns that need to be considered before launching the whole oh so and then doc is the medical procedure be there any concerns are raised on the last implication post that you haven't time enough to where we think that at and if there is any link then that is something that need to be can see there is no. ok so authorities are taking every precaution here but why do you think that the lay of this rollout will mean for that's a nation effort here in europe where it's also been possible. i think it is certa

and for more now i'm joined by mohamed windier he's a viral logis from lancaster university in the u.k. it's good to see you again mr mir let me ask you this this stop of the use of the johnson and johnson vaccine in the united states what do you make of that decision . well brant i think it is really unfortunate news particularly because this was the only single short of vaccine that was approved and it's one of the 3 vaccines that are currently being told out in the u. u.s. and also this is one of those vaccine that we were considering as a tentative. vaccine concerns because it could be stored out there after you take your temperature but we're looking really on to that that is being generated out of the u.s. applying to be vaccines there is no such concerns advise that anybody had no vaccine numpad what we have seen that that johnson and johnson so this clearly indicate that there is some general consensus that makes this as being caused those are adamant and those evidence are not really seen in normal population of that clot in the into intervening in the blood so certainly that

well i'm delighted to welcome onto the program dr mohammad year overall or just from the university of lancaster dr julian a clinical just the university of leicester political commentator unfunny weber hello to you all gentlemen can we start with you should anyone be forced to take a covert vaccine even the health worker. well when we talk about the demented 4 look over 19 actually i think we need to look into a broader perspective the 1st thing is that a lot of the vaccine is safe secondly the gravity of the situation and if anything else is working and it will put all of these 3 things together for me i think it is really important and i think is a cloud from a community responsibility that this vaccine would be car a mandate for everybody who had the possibility to take up what about going down that route then julian italy is saying all medics need to be vaccinated but is that not taking things too far when you take into consideration the people who've already recovered from cove aid those who have been unity through that route it opens up a lot of issues. yes i do think of it will take the

we'rejoined by dr muhammad munir, who is a virologist at lancaster university. good morning.overed could give a clue, but thatis recovered could give a clue, but that is not a true indication the person is protected. if the person is presumed to be protected but goes to an area with a new variant that would infect that person, having that situation would be a false sense of security. and on efficacy of the vaccine, astrazeneca does not give protection against the south african variant and if someone is presumed to be protected by vaccination by the passport, but still has a chance to contract the infection from that variant it will bring challenges on the spread of the variant into the country. from a scientific point _ the variant into the country. from a scientific point of _ the variant into the country. from a scientific point of view _ the variant into the country. from a scientific point of view the - scientific point of view the introduction of a vaccine passport would not be useful in terms of curbing the spread of the virus? primarily, we have to look when we talk ab

viral infection and vaccine expert from lancaster in england it's good to see you again good to have you on the foreground this evening researchers from oxford university they have palls the trial of the astra zeneca vaccine in children what does this tell us is the evidence the vaccine does kohls blood clots is that evidence mounting up now. thank you very much for having me on the show once again i think that the pause has been absolutely for cautionary needs and at the moment there isn't any data on to the trial in children that dictates that it has some association with the blood clots but so far no information has come from the m. and shortage of regulatory body here in the u.k. but my anticipation is that because the link is getting more and more be put into particularly from the data in germany so i think it would be very difficult for us as an it guy to hold on all of the pressure they are having at the moment on to the association and safety of the vaccine so when the british prime minister boris johnson for example says that the astra zeneca vaccine is safe to use is he saying something that is probably no longer true. well i think it depends
