also happens to be president of the jonas salk legacy foundation. doctor, for those who have forgotten or aren't old enough to know, can you tell our audience what an all-in, all-consuming american effort it was to come up with the polio vaccine?. >> absolutely. polio had been with us for many, many years, and people were constantly frightened. epidemics got to the point in the early 1950s where about 58,000 kids at the most ended up getting polio, leaving 21,000 in one year being paralyzed. it was something that everyone was frightened about. swimming pools would close. schools and theaters would close. it was on everybody's minds, and parents just pitched in, kids pitched in, the march of dimes. the national foundation for infantile paralysis ran a fund-raising program to help fund research on polio and treatment and on a vaccine. when the vaccine came out, this was the success of the people of this country. this wasn't government funded. it was the funding from the people. >> i'm guessing that when you heard of the success in the very limited vac

salk could only have dreamed. >> reporter: jonas salk had competition. dr.sabin developed an oral vaccine a few years later. and now dr. duprex is one of scores of researchers-around the world all working towards the same goal. >> competition is ont there isich drives another thing: we need to be collaborative. that is not just colleagues in the united states, but colleagues all over the world. >> reporter: the f.d.a. just approved an emergency treatment for covid-19, but the greatest hope is for a vaccine. duprex and his team are already testing theirs on mice. and elsewhere, human trials have begun, several already showing great promise. >>> do you feel that the public is really behind scientists in the way they were behind those working with the polio vaccine? >> i do. it is hard, in the instantaneous world that we live in. everything needs to be done yesterday. it is hard to be patient. ady frthink strong scientists, helps the public understand we are doing our best to defeat this virus. >> reporter: neither jonas salk nor albert sabin and their teams pe

was the only way that your child could breathe and then along came this guy this guy's name is jonas salk he's a scientist and in 1955 some people say he saved the world saved millions of lives by coming up with a vaccine which he tested on himself and on his own family talk about a sacrifice. did he he essentially had the patent for the vaccine and he chose not to patent it himself he chose not to become a multi-millionaire because he didn't patent it he wanted to give it away and when he was asked why don't you patent it he famously answered with these words can i pattern the sun. he said the sun belong to the world in this patent belong to the world his moral conviction as a human being was that the discovery did not belong to him it belongs to everyone despite being the person who had come up with it now i want to i want to make a comparison to today now let's come back to today the white house today in fact just about an hour ago 45 minutes ago announced that it's creating a team to lead the search for a covert $1000.00 vaccine they say they going to get it done by the end of the yea

grail of medicine a terrifying disease brought to an end by a vaccine the polio vaccine earned jonas salk worldwide fame when it came out in 1955 but it didn't earn him money he made no effort to patent his invention developing a vaccine against corona virus will be extremely expensive at least 80 teams around the world are working independently funded by pharma companies governments and n.g.o.s in a race to be 1st but critics say this race is a needless game of catch up among the key funders of efforts to prepare for a pandemic is microsoft co-founder bill gates he says that despite the global threat there's been no global coordination. the world was not prepared and so everybody's trying to figure this out as they go and so there's a shortage of figuring out what the priorities should be between countries has been very difficult now that people are sort of. you know figuring out this social distancing which is very painful starting to think about ok how do we have drugs for treatment how do we get back seen as quickly as possible here i see a chance that there will be very strong cooper

jonas salk said it should be as free as the sun. ok, that ended the polio terr, measasles terror, others. but the government couldn't step in, because there's another particular aspect of the modern era, the neoliberal plague. now, you remember ronald reagan's sunny smile and his little maxim about how government is the problem, not the solution. so the government can't enter. there were some efforts, nevertheless, to try to prepare for this. right now in new york and other places, doctors and nurses are forced to make agonizing decisions about who to kill - not a nice decision to make - because they simply don't have equipment. and the main lack is ventilators, huge shortage of ventilators. well, the obama administration did make an effort to try to prepare for this. and this kind of dramatically reveals the kind of factors that are leading to catastrophe. they contracted with a small company that was producing high-quality, low-cost ventilators. the cocompany was bought up by a a largeger one, covidien, which makekes fancy,y, expe

when we think back to the scorch of polio and we think of the great heroism of jonas salk, the developmentthat vaccine, i think the world is waiting and hoping. it will happen. i can tell you, the massachusetts consortium on pathogen readiness has hundreds of scientists who are working tirelessly to develop new treatments, new antivirals, vaccines, to understand the way this pandemic spreads and recommend thoughtful policy to contain it, to improve the clinical management, and also to share their knowledge openly. this is an example where the biomedical community and the biotechnology and pharmaceutical community, have out -- have all come together and talked about doing the right thing for the common good. i think it is a tremendous celebration of the excellence of our scientific and biomedical community. i hope that we can continue to support it for after this pandemic passes, and it will, we have to have a durable response because there will be another pandemic. we have had three virus outbreaks in the past 20 years. let's be ready for the next time we have another one. host: we are tal

of the timeline and appropriations of fund that normally ended up in the vaccine created by jonas salk, which i thought was an interesting tidbit of information. this is george bush jr., who is also highly decayed. if you can zoom in on his tie, you can see where he's got his elephants -- a lot of people love seeing that. the most decayed president is woodrow wilson. he pretty much looks like he has leprosy. the question always comes up, is there a rhyme or reason as to why these guys are decaying at a faster rate than the remaining, and i just don't understand or know if there is any reason behind it. perhaps he's in a wind pattern or rain pattern that makes him more susceptible to cracking. i just don't know. but what i do know is if you come look pretty closely at this president, who was one of eight virginia native presidents born and raised in stanton, look at his right eyeball. that is a wasp's nest, which is not uncommon. often you will see them in the nostrils of the sculpture as well. a few of them are starting to miss some parts. lyndon johnson is starting to lose the end of

roads or whatever making more salk alliance is just going to make the traffic even worse as digests because half the people who saw it drag the marmot don't know the high white collars on the small percentage or do not highlight charge. so the should be some sort of a test for cyclists and yet london's in a city is currently swarming with bicycles as the qur'an the crisis ushered in a new age of mentality. cyclists now have some powerful supporters behind them there will be a huge amount of planning going into helping people to get to work other than by mass transit and i this will be i hope and of the my right of free will as a former secretary of transport i will agree this is what should be a new government agency for psychic but they must act fast when commuters return on mass and won't be enough buses or trains to accommodate them and attend to social distancing missions if even a small percentage of these commute to start using cars instead london will be fixed with 10 children. the temptation to get into medical will be very very strong and understandable so i think we've got a short

that could save hundreds of thousands of lives oh i want to they psychopaths they must do like jonas salk did with the polio vaccine and give it to the world for free on the other hand. if we find a vaccine 1st then we'll hoard it all for ourselves. that's the plan. john c. demurs the assistant attorney general for national security said biomedical research has long been a focus of theft especially by the chinese government and vaccines and treatments for the corona virus are today's holy grail putting aside the commercial value there were there would be great geopolitical significance to being the 1st to develop a treatment or vaccine that she'll political significance oh he means we could use it for leverage to crush other countries for example venezuela or on who we hate because they have taken the rude selfish stance of not letting us steal all their stuff if they would just let us take their resources things wouldn't work out much better for them just like iraq and libya and radio shack they're all doing great. also keep in mind that when demurs says putting aside the commercial valu

today, thanks to the salk vaccine, paralytic polio is on the ropes. another example of what our doctors are doing for us. you may have read not too long ago an article about the closing of the famous tuberculosis hospital. not only has the tb death rate declined, but the length of time spent by the average tb patient has also been cut in half. finally, let's take a trip to a modern psychiatric ward. until 1956, each year there was an increase in the number of patients, in mental hospitals. last year, for the first time, there was a reduction of almost 7,000 patients. this is the result of an unprecedented discharge rate. today for the first time, there is new hope in the area of mental illness. yes, ladies and gentlemen, your doctor at home, like his colleagues abroad, is dedicated to the task of conquering disease. and because of this dedication, our nation is one of the healthiest in the world. may i add just one last thought? the mission of the pharmaceutical industry, of which we are a part, is service to the medical profession. i believe that our

you's never saw jonas salk come through a bead curtain.ews, what do you got from you, seany. >> sean: you are right about fauci. he got a lot wrong. h he did the best he could. i'm not going after him personally. but he was wrong a lot. the models were all wrong. here's what i wanted to ask you. aoc has a little problem. she believes in socialism, believes everything free, believes in it so much she doesn't pay her own taxes. >> i know. i saw that she had a failed business venture a while back, 1600 bucks. it's now up to 288, which i believe is the air, by the way, coincidental, that we'll see somebody that stupid make it into the house of representatives. if you take an iou from aoc, you are going to be sol in the next few days. that's not a great -- if she were a couple of years older, biden would have to pick her up. did you watch biden this week? is cuban blocking is cuban blocking here? he can't look at that -- what does he call him? he calls him president tweedy. this doesn't surprise me, because he thinks the hhs secretary alex azar

they are making kind of an old-fashioned vaccine, the same approach that jonas salk used back in the0s to make a polio vaccine and that is grow up the virus, purify it and activate it with a chemical agent. he used formalin back then and they are using something called beto pope ryo lactone. it looks like it works in nonhuman primates. i know we are trying to do a lot of cutter and comic cutting andd dominik nitsche technologies, but let's do some old-school vaccines as well because that may do the same thing for us or even better potentially an hour vaccine is kind of in between the cutting edge and the real -- >> bill: are not giving yo up on you yet, you mentioned mo derrida, which has been approved for phase two. is that the best chance we have for phase two? >> no i don't think so. some are saying 14 vaccines i think, it could be 20. the idea is you don't put all your eggs in one basket. the approach is actually the same. you are trying to make an immune response to that spike vaccine. if you've ever seen a picture of the coronavirus it looks like a doughnut with some rna stuff

and then your most critical point, like jonas salk with the polio vaccine, how it is made, freeee forll? >> basically, what i would say to folks is, you're going to see a lot of sensasational headldlis in the u upcoming days, weekeksd monthshs. we a are all hopining. i genenerally thihink it is importanant to listen to n p politians, especial when poticians reallyo off f d start saying thgs thaare not sciee-e-base in tms of whe the morna vaccine is, ain, eieighpeople, phasasne, early days, right? t encouraging ely days. the effect tsese eig people developed a leve of imne response thawe haveeen with people w clear t infecti, th fact there aibodies re neutralizing -- could utralize th virusus, that all is ve,, ry e encragingng now, therere is a t t betwn hehe and d having thahat vaccine be produced safelely and effecectiy for hundndreds of millllions or billions of people. there are many, many steps ong the way.. have to give it to a ch larger gro of folks. imagine if the vaccine kills one in 500 people, which would banan crededib bad ocome --'m not saying it doe by the y. you're not g

it's like you never saw jonas salk coming through a bead curtain, so it's a little weird.he news tonight, what do you got, sean? >> sean: you're right about fauci. he got a lot wrong -- and i'm not -- look, he did the best he could, he's dedicated his life to helping people, i'm not going after them personally but he was wrong a lot, the models are all wrong. here's what i wanted to ask you. aoc has a little problem. she believes in socialism and everything is free. she believes in it so much she doesn't pay her own taxes. >> i know. i saw that she had a failed business venture a while back, 1600 bucks. it's now up to 208,080, which i believe is the year, by the way, coincidental, that we will next see someone that stupid make it into the house of representatives. you know, if you take an iou from aoc you will be asked out of al in the next few days. she's -- if she was a couple years older you know biden would have to pick her. have you watched biden this week? i saw you showed that to mark cuban and i thought -- is cuban bluffing here? he can't look at that and think tha

you brought up jonas salk.is not just responsible for the polio vaccine, which c chand the course of humanity, he was alsoso responsible for thehe fit flu vaccine, which came out of similar m mid-20th centy y effos in thehe united states, which ws publicly oriented. theyey weree offendeded publicl, somemes s by auaual cititizens mailing in checks. and deftftly byy governments wht ththat time during the worldld r wars,during theorld wewererying to protect their soldiers on ththe battlefront. the original flu vaccine, whichh billions havee taken over manyny decades, is a publicly funded effort, which did not ha a any protection and has beeeen run since the 19197's ouout of a wondnderful n network at the whn geneneva, w which releases s two recommdadations annually, set ouout what straiains of the flu virurus should go in. it is a collaboborative effort, 110 countntries, governrnments collaborate.e. anand anyone can n then manuface theaccine b basedn the foformula. the u.u.n. just set out inin onf its many y compl

when that happens, i think we should all remember jonas salk's famous answer to the question about whetherfter hee invented the polio vaccine, whether he was -- he was asked whehether it would b be patetented. he said, would you patent thehe sun? i think that shohould be the apprproach we take. but within the system of for-profit medicine at evevery stagage, whether it is the production of essential medical equipment or whether it is the delivery of services, thahat is responsible for a huge e numberf u.s. response.hthe we heard dr. fauauci you just nw talk about needless mass death if the economy opens up too soon. and it is already opening up too soon in many states. but the truth of the matter is, because of a r refusal to listen to earlier warnings from m expes like him, ththere has alalreadyn needless mass deaths, by some estimates, in excess death of 50,000 people as of today i in e united states because the u.s. government did not l listen toto warnings, was s not looking at what was happepening in the rest of the world come completely blew the head start it had in tackling this vir

this is the same approach that for instance that jonah salk used to make the polio vaccine or for the vaccine. i would like to see one of those and same with our protein vaccine saying what is the hepatitis b. vaccine so having that balance, they all work by interfering with the spike protein attaching to the receptor but there are a lot of different ways you can do it and at the end of the day you don't know which is the mostective and which is the safest. >> try them all. dr. peter hotez with our vaccine reality check of the day which is almost a daily check-in with you. thanks for sharing your expertise. >> always happy to be here. thank you, chuck. >>> up next, the coronavirus economic relief fight. we'll check in with a key democratic senator back working on the hill after this. i just love hitting the open road and telling people that liberty mutual customizes your insurance, so you only pay for what you need!

government all cleared through as you matches behind closed doors in mid may well italy's top clubs want salk's with their governments as there is from an adversary astrid surnames it seems issued a joint statement saying their target is to complete the remaining fixtures that followed the comments by the it's how in sports minister that he was unconvinced by the league's health and safety plan the clubs face losing hundreds of millions of dollars if the season is cancelled we've been talking to nicholas betsy a sports historian at the university of polonium. i think we are in front of the classic tradeoff between economic interest from one side and have the interest from the ardor with sporting interest in this moment that they are a little bit moved in the background we are enough tasing which. the clubs the city at labs who really wanted to restart at the same time stared try not to be. responsible for a knee health issue the moment when food will stop italians and there's that virus was something serious saw probably the moment that will restart the booklet for the population will be a sign

salk and sabin, they drove their processes in a search for a vaccine that would alleviate an envelopingational gloom that was not simply emotional but physical and ambient. and they did it by pure research and unfortunately right now and michael posted a picture of this the other day, you had president eisenhower in a rare moment. i can only think of two moments, michael, where ike cried publicly. one was the polio vaccine and the other was 1964 when he was at d-day with cronkite. i think that's right. the anniversary. >> yes, also '52 when he was talking to a group of d-day survivors. that really brought it out in him. >> right, you have that remarkable moment and then you have this -- today our problem is, it seems to me, is you have a president who is not -- at least staying out of the way of science. he's actively interfering with it. because of political and economic short term indicators. when everything, every person who knows what they are talking about tells us is we have to be careful about how we reopen and the president, who has our colleague joe scarborough likes to say, he
