steven hopkins said it had been to catch some deer. so as we were looking at it william bradford, as he went about, it gave a sudden jerk up, and he was immediately caught by the leg and hoisted into the air. winslow went on to admire the snare, pretty device, made with a rope of their own making and having a noose as artfully made as any roper in england can make. bradford did not mention the episode at all, and it probably did nothing to improve his view of the natives. it's important to remind ourselves that not all of the colonies held to the same beliefs and principles. while sharing many european attitudes winslow always seemed interested in the native inhabitants and developed a close relationship with usumeqwen. in the early chapters of his history he wrote of them as safr vague barbarians, ready to fill the pilgrim's side full of arrows, he described the landscape a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wild beasts and wild men. but his harshest views were confined to his poetry. in one poem castigating the natives as a peo

he lived with steven hopkins family of over ten people for anywhere of 10 to 15 years of his life. he was the closest friend -- closest native the english considered to be a friend. they don't say much about his family. they say hobbamock had more than one wife. i wish i knew one of his wife's names because she plays a major role in the diplomacy. she actually reports back and forth to massasoit and what's going on, especially with squanto, but they never give her name. they don't say much about the family structure and we're guessing they lived in a covered home like he was used to. but, like i said, he kept peace between two people. he was considered to be one who counsels on war and leads in the battle and a lot of time the english considered them indestructible. how do you become a pniese? you're chosen from childhood and have special qualities and special people choose you and from there on your raised. one of the final stages, you're given a stone knife. you would go into the woods alone for a whole winter. if you came back, you would be a pniese, and if you didn't, you would

like i said, he died in 1622 and leaves steven hopkins and a few others down in chatham for a trading scenario, meet and greet, whatever. that evening when he was in one of the houses, they said squanto had a nose bleed that wouldn't stop and something called indian fever back then. there was some type of hemorrhaging going on. when he was lying on his death bed, he asked english if he would be accepted into their guards. although he might have been a changed person, he knew what he was doing. this guy right here doesn't get much praise in the textbooks. he hobbamock, if it wasn't for this guy, history would have definitely been different today. when he made that treaty with the english in 1621, he needed somebody else -- because this village is 40 miles west. he needed an ambassadorship out here. not out here but out in plymouth colony. that's when he said hobbamock to live among the english. he lives with his family of over ten people for anywhere of 10 to 15 years of his life. he was the closest friend -- closest native the english considered to be a friend. they don't say much abo

sends out a delegation including edward winslow, who had become massasoit's best friend, and steven hopkins, who appears to have been in jamestown prior to boarding the mayflower and had experience with the native americans. squanto is still alive and he goes with them walking the hard-packed native trails that criss-crossed new england at this time. it's about a 45-mile walk and they head out. they head out. there's no horses yet, so they're walking these trails and they've just left the settlement when they come across a group of native americans who have been collecting lobsters in plymouth harbor and they begin to talk. they learn that to walk across the land in southern new england was to travel in time. all along this narrow, hard-packed trail were circular foot deep holes in the ground that had been dug where any remarkable act had occurred. it was each person's responsibility to maintain them so many things of great ann titiquity are ther. so as a man travels, the journey will be less tedious by the discourses related unto him. in closing, my only plea is that we keep the memory hol

steven byrer who is the professor of human rights at johns hopkins bloomberg school of public health. dr. byrer, good morning to you, and coming this morning on the news of another successful, at least, at this stage application of moderna to the fda on approval of their vaccine. dr. byer, what are your thoughts at this stage where we have two vaccines in the pipeline by the fda? >> this is an extraordinary moment, really. both the pfizer vaccine candidate and the moderna vaccine candidate, they're both based on a messenger technology, a new technology. these trials have gone very well. they've been very large, and the data from both are remarkably similar, around over 90% efficacy in protecting people from serious complications and serious disease with covid. these are not vaccines that prevent primary infection, but what they do is reduce the likelihood if you do have an exposure and you do get covid that you get sick. with the moderna vaccine, there were essentially no serious cases in people who were immunized, only in people who got the placebo. so what they've done, they did yes
