to track and stop the spreadly of covid-19 joining forces with the university of minnesota and mayo clinic did we surpass the goal in less than two months. now we have tested 40,000 minnesotans each and every day across minnesota with the lucas on her kids we have a nation leading testing program in our schools and in childcare. testing thousandsac of educators childcare workers each week. now we are bringing that same innovative inner jan collaboration to our vaccination efforts from the vikings training facility to local churches are at our vaccine rollout is leading the nation with more than 40,000 shots administered each day. minnesota's hard work is paying off and it has real impact on our daily lives. just this week minnesota ranked first in the nation for speed of administering vaccines. a recently published study for the national children's organization ranked minnesota first in the nation for protecting children from hunger learning lawson financial stress during the covid-19 pandemic. measured by economic health and social well-being minnesota was recently named the best state in

numbers, or 95%, so the people that go to mayo clinic, a place i'm very proud of in my state, those patients don't have that same risk as the people that are incarcerated. so my last question is about the last may i isn't a letter expressing concern about how the b.o.p. is assessing eligibility for home confinement, particularly after we learned about andrea, who died in federal custody four weeks after giving birth while a satellite and radar, and after testing positive for the coronavirus. we know that weeks later paul manafort and michael cohen were transferred to home confinement . i still don't have the data that i think i need to release information on how cases are prioritized and the demographic data of the people who were transferred, can we get that? what percentage of transfers were denied because of an inmate's pattern score? the b.o.p.'s risk assessment tool, which senator booker mentioned, numerous civil rights and legal organizations have warned is likely to perpetuate racial disparity and decision making. can we get the percentage releases so we could look at them? >

amy: doctor, thank you for joining us from the mayo clinic, infectious disease physician.e continue on what is happening in india and how it can be dealt with, particularly around the issue of vaccine apartheid and vaccine equity. as the death toll mounts in india, pressure is mounting for the u.s. and other wealthy countries to put in and to vaccine hoarding ensure supply with india and the rest of the rld. top white house advisor dr. anthony fauci addressed the crisis in india, saying -- "the only way that you're going to adequately respond to a global pandemic is by having a global response, and a global response means equity throughout the world." calls have also been growing for wealthy members of the wto to waive intellectual property rights related to covid-19 vaccines. earlier this week, democratic lawmakers and organizations working on this issue held a news conference to deliver a petition, over to my people, urging president biden and the debbie geo to grant the waiver. this is senator bernie sanders. close to me it seems this is not ally a debatable issue. we h

those are two of them, there's the study from the mayo clinic, there is one in europe, lots of ways. >> ultimately based on your information you would agree mister floyd's heart was slightly enlarged. >> yes. >> in terms of the molina standard what would a normal male heart rate way for a person similar to mister floyd? >> i don't know off the top of my head. >> would you disagree if i said 383 grams? >> that well could be. for the average. >> for the average. so according, if that were the average heart rate or heart size, 383 grams relevant to mister floyd's heart, mister floyd's heart would be considered profoundly enlarged. >> the thing about using averages especially in medicine is we don't generally say, compared to an average, we usually compared to an average plus and minus we to standard deviations. that is why the range i usually use is from 253 to 510 grams would be the range of normal for someone of mister floyd's height. so i don't know, in the the mile molina study what standard deviations would be but i wouldn't use just the average. >> in terms of how you would assist

this is a campaign that we started together with our colleagues and friends from mayo clinic and 58 othere country have joined us in advocacy to get the vaccine to save lives. we want to use the voice of the hospitals as trusted partners for every one of our patients to spread the simple message, vaccines are safe. they do save lives. and the only way we're going to get through this pandemic together is if we effectively distribute as many vaccines as we can as quickly as possible. >> when your trusted hospital, trusted doctor tells you the vaccines are safe and it's to take, people are more likely to get it. distribution of the johnson & johnson vaccine are on pause. have you seen any difference in the rollout in numbers? >> we have not seen really a difference in vaccine rollout. it is certainly a setback for that particular vaccine. i believe that we're going to learn more by the end of this week. we're going to probably see j&j roll out johnson & johnson vaccine roll out with some restrictions but overall the vaccines are safe and very effective. the alternative is obviously much wors

>> i am familiar with the paper, although the one i usually use is the kitzman paper from the mayo clinic. >> what's the maximum size? >> it's a function of your body height and weight. a larger person is going to have a bigger heart weight. mr. floyd's case, the upper limit of normal for his body length according to the reference i use is 510 grams. the upper limit of normal for body weight would be 521 grams. he was 540 grams. he's outside the upper limit of normal. on the bell-shaped distribution for a man his size, he's on the heavy end. >> okay. all of this various standards in terms of the wait of a heart, they're peer reviewed? >> as far as i know, yes. the reference i use is from the going to assume is peer reviewed. >> right. as would be say demio and other studies? >> i'm not familiar with the other studies. i believe it was published in the american journal of forensic medicine which i know to be peer reviewed. >> okay. you would agree that the larger the heart is the more blood it needs to provide adequate oxygen nation. >> as a general rule, yes. >> what kind of things cause

and yes, real world studies of vaccinated groups from the mayo clinic to cdc to frontline workers tocines to be incredibly effective but while cases are still high, we should all continue to remain cautious it's just the decent thing to do i mean, i still wear my mask and keep my distance until cases are down. and everyone around me is vaccinated, even though i already got my second shot, which i was thrilled about, even though it felt like hugh jackman had punched me in the deltoid, which actually happened. that was so long ago, we were still in afghanistan one of the gop's most aggressive purveyors of covid lies and staunchest anti-mask crusaders has been rand paul, and this week, he actually suggested that dr. anthony fauci should be taken off tv for continuing to suggest caution as cases continue to rise >> there is no scientific evidence that the lockdowns in michigan have done anything or in california. so there is no real correlation between economic lockdowns, mask mandates or any of this. so i think it's actually television malpractice for these tv doctors to come on and say

she ended up being a nurse at the hospital that was part of the mayo clinic. and my father ended up being a patient there. so actually that work withed out okay. but it gives you an idea -- an idea of the decisions that families faced even if they had the ability and intent of striving for education the lack of infrastructure in this country was, we talk about our crumbling infrastructure today. the reason we have crumbling infrastructure is, of course, underfunding but because so much infrastructure was built after the new deal started when there was not -- there were not the roads or the -- or even the electricity or means of communication that could help a country build itself out of the depression it was in. in those times just a dozen years before, real racial tension and isolation. because we focus on the later events of the civil rights movement, we don't read much about that, but that was a real factor in the great depression as well. now, my grandfather, fdr, was not a politician of ideology. in fact, newspaper columnists, walter litman, thought that

are going to not only give him the chemotherapy he needs but do it out here, you know, we were at mayo clinic but no family should have to do that. it was an absolute testimony to insurance companies. >> that's the point. i mean, if you all had to do that, he's a national hero, you own a big business and you're arguing minute by minute with the insurance company. >> right. yeah, yeah, it was -- if we had to do that, imagine what folks who don't have an advocate like me or the position that their loved one is in, how do they receive chemo or any other drug they need or any other service? it's absolutely unconscionable what happens. >> it's been nearly three years since your husband passed. i know frank sinatra's "my way" was playing in the background as he died and that really summed up his life. what does that mean to you right now? >> well, john did exactly what we thought he would do and that would be, he would -- he would leave this world on his terms at his own time, and it was -- you know, we had -- it meant everything to us because he was up at our place that we loved most in the world,

advanced possible things including ibm, a vaccine cooperative that includes microsoft, oracle, mayo clinic talking -- and i am talking about electronic things. it could be a simple piece of paper, but there are some counterfeiting possibilities with that. most of these people like ibm solutions, it is utilizing octane technology in an -- block chain technology in an attempt to keep the information private from ibm and other companies. host: earlier this week, california republican representative doug lamalfa came on and explains two bills he is introducing called the no vaccines passport act and the keep vaccines voluntary act which he says that both will explain his opposition to vaccine passports and i want you to listen to what he said. [video clip] >> how may companies are jumping on board and saying they will give you a doughnut or $25 gift certificate if you show us that you got vaccines. and that is coercion. they are free to do that. and it is people's freedom to take one of these injections, but the key choice is to choose to do so, and that is what we are about as a country. beca
