if you look at the commitments that pfizer, moderna, astrazeneca, novavax will probably enter the market 4 billion, moderna 3 billion, johnson & johnson will make billions of doses. it's at least 15 billion doses probably more and doesn't include what china is doing, they're going to vaccinate their population and russia is going to vaccinate their people. you take china and russia off the table you're going to have 5 billion less. the problem is having the capabilities to put the vaccines on the ground and that's the challenge over the next 12 months it's not a supply challenge. the doses used in the u.s. for boosters have been bought and stockpiled by and large, so the united states is not going to part with those as a national security matter. >> in the meantime, still a lot of people in this country who need to get vaccinated. >>s a absolutely. >> dr. scott gottlieb, thanks so much. his book "uncontrolled spread" is out in just two weeks. >>> coming up on "morning joe," how new york city is recovering this morning after yesterday's historic flooding. mayor bill de blasio will be our
