laurie, thank you for being here. we got hints of this the other day when the incoming administration suggested that the -- or at least doctors advising the incoming biden administration warned that the trump administration's plans and projections about how this vaccine is getting out here do not seem to be accurate. what do you make of this situation? >> ali, i think there's a lot going on here, and it's many different levels, and it may not be quite as politically motivated as it seems, though we can't utterly discount that. first of all, general gustave perna is in charge of operation warp speed, and he told reporters three days ago that because of the big nor'easter that was coming in to slam the eastern and midwestern states with snow and high winds, that it was likely there were going to be airplane disruptions and transportation disruptions. and as a result, he was going to hold back some of the promised vaccine as a security precaution. he didn't say exactly how much, but it appears that did occur and that tha

your reaction to those new analyses, laurie?r than most of us thought was possible. i mean, this is the independent scientific assessment of the fda's scientific staff, not the company's pr, which is all we had to work with until today. and it looks like the very first dose is already giving you much better than 50% protection, and with a second dose, you're up in the high 90s, somewhere between 94%, 96% protection efficacy of this vaccine. that's just remarkable. that's certainly far superior to our routine influenza vaccines and approaching the level that we expect from a measles vaccine or a polio vaccine. so that's pretty darn fantastic. now, of course, there are caveats. there are things we don't know. how long does the protection last? we have no idea because all the studies by definition have been done at warp speed. so we haven't been following people for two years to find out, are you still protected two years down the line or even two months down the line, and that's going to be a big unknown. the other is on the side

joining us now is laurie garret. a health policy analyst and pulitzer prizewinning science writer who's been a real voice of reason for us over this crisis. thank you for being here. >> pleasure. >> so you and a lot of other public health experts really called this back in the summer when the white house decided they were going to take this away from cdc and have the trump administration, have hhs collect this data. instead is really does seem to have been borne out in the months since. how big a problem is this? how much better off would we be if we had real data we could count on? >> well, first of all, rachel, we really all owe a great debt of gratitude to charles pillar who has doggedly covered this story for science magazine for the last three months, performed brilliantly. and one of the really important things he has -- sorry. all of a sudden you are coming on my television for which i apologize. and one of the things that he revealed is that deborah birx was really behind this. she wanted more control of the

but laurie also said it. we are a divided nation, a distrustful nation, and quite frankly it brings warmth to my heart when i see leaders who are getting the vaccine who say i don't care about red, i don't care about blue. we know that this vaccine is safe. we know that the companies have been meticulous in how they've studied. now we've got to figure out how to get the message out. you know, we're in this together. the other message is a little less hopeful and that is it's still a long winter ahead. the vaccine is coming. i believe we'll get over these logistics, but you can't let your guard down that the intensive care units across this country in the rafters, you know, truckload after truckload of vaccine is shipping, and we'll figure that out, but we can't let our guard down going into this winter. >> robert gibbs, i want to hit you with both of these. let me start with the politic and the trust issues around the vaccine first. i'm going to say two names i don't often utter on this program -- tucker carl

i was speaking to stephanie deer, her 47-year-old sister laurie's heart stopped in october. she was rushed to the hospital. needed an ecmo machine to save her life. there was not an ecmo machine available because they were all being taken by covid-19 patients. they took 3 1/2 hours for her -- for the doctors to find her a machine. she ended up dying days later because microscopic blood clots formed in her tissues. the doctors attributing her death to the fact that machine was not available due to covid-19. take a listen to what stephanie had to say. >> people are dying from preventable deaths because they cannot get medical care. my sister should be here right now. she should be shopping for christmas, and we should be gossiping. and laughing and she's not here. and she should be. >> since laurie terry's death, the situation in utah has gotten much worse. the numbers there tripling. i was speaking to one surgeon who said his hospital was having to cancel up to 10 elective procedures a day. and they really take exception to that term elective. they say, yes, we call it electi

we know that laurie drivers are pretty tough people normally.unt of hours alone in the road option sleeping in their calves, but if they are seeing the situation is difficult we really do know it's difficult. i want to reflect on this. the british government had no choice but to legally say we have this new variant. france might have thought it had no choice just to stop things oi’ it had no choice just to stop things or 48 hours while it worked out the new border. you can see, let's go back to madeline, both governments acting as they had to go and yet there was still this crisis. i'm not convinced that both governments necessarily did act as they had to. i think that the french in rejecting this with a truly exceptional reaction to events which we haven't seen much during the pandemic around the world even when people have been banning passenger travel. they've been letting experts still go through and for the supply chains to keep running. so i'm not convinced that was entirely proportionate in reaction to the situation. an overreaction do yo

laurie garrett will join us when we across the grim milestone of 300,000 deaths since the start of the coronavirus. but we begin tonight with today's formalizing of joe biden's victory in the electoral college, which was never in doubt and i mean never. it was never in dpououbt for mer four years. he never once in four years of his presidency tried to win the votes of people who did not already vote for him. by midnight on election night it was clear to me that joe biden was going to beat donald trump by millions of volts ates and w electoral college and when it was explained in a conference call on how she expected the counting of the votes to proceed, i was even more absolutely certain joe biden would win the electoral college and be president. and then there was literally dancing in the streets when they projected joe biden as the winner of the electoral college but that stopped when trump's legal battles scared many into thinking the outcome might be in doubt and some false seeds had been planted in the final months of the campaign of what the trump team might be capable of, includ

this morning we were talk about her sister, laurie.he was a healthy and active mother but in october when she arrived to a utah emergency room, the specialized hospital beds that laurie needed to survive had all been taken by covid patients. >> she had a medical emergency like anyone could and because she could not access medical care, she died. >> a tragic story there. to hear more of it and other struggles of noncovid patients, make sure to tune in this morning to "today" show. >>> hunter biden is, once again, providing ammunition for his father's critics this morning. >> scott mcgrew, part of conversation during the campaign, but that largely failed. >> it did. mostly because those allegations were pretty thin, marcus. the accuser, rudy giuliani has a way of making things hard to believe sometimes. provided little evidence. giuliani himself, by the way, under investigation by the feds for the way he investigated in ukraine involving hunter biden. really, hunter biden not a good subject for the white house overall. it was, after all,

i said laurie you think that i don't know all those details i'm just saying blur meaning it was a blur time of my life well let me add some color because i remember i'm sure. the blog was run into i don't want to. because of our connection to countrywide they started the lease they had just applied to be one of the. december 2000 and. 900 square feet right across the street from the freeway one. so we call it retro order. a vintage. lovely. you. are watching this video and your realtor. say wait a minute i represented the buyer when they paid a 1000000. i want to put you my tie down and go grab a shingle. right now and you don't deserve to be licensed december 2006. if you want. to get fired. i'm jim. there's a lot of trust marketplace value could this be just a value bubble where people just keep paying these crazy prices a lot more than they used to just literally a year ago just because they want to get a house there really isn't the evidence to help support them that i can say oh for sure it's worth. there's really i think some valid concern about valuations when the proof is so th
