let's get more now from simon clark he's not associate professor of cellular microbiology at university of reading and joins us from there great to have you with us on the news our 1st of us president with face big d t welcome this move by facebook to. also massively label all posts about vaccines you think it will help. but really i mean something needs to be done because there is a lot of actually mentioned right across the world. more so in some countries than others but of course social media in particular facebook is where a lot of people get their news from these days so i think. while we have the possibility of. fake news regards right actually appearing up on platforms like facebook it's incumbent upon the the owners of that platform to take steps to to people that what they might be reading isn't necessarily correct i think the problem is a misinformation on social media when it comes to vaccine uptake. well in the u.k. there does seem to be a problem with some people with some communities and facebook is just one of the on the rest of social media i should say as well as just one element

well let's go live now to microbiologist simon clark of reading university thanks for joining us again to have you on the program today. what do you think the company overestimated this vaccine's effectiveness mean how do you think this could have happened. but it's a fundamental tenet in science that you don't pick and choose which data you present but it appears that for some reason that's what's happened and we don't know why they. but it. always raises suspicions when people try to ignore the data that's perhaps not so good in favor of the day to day so we should remember that it's only a week said difference with mild moderate disease and no difference at all for them a serious life threatening condition. but like i say it should not have happened. it's a very small difference as you say but do you think this this reduction in effectiveness and the surrounding comments from the u.s. medical again later could affect the company's reputation either on the market or in some of other factors well that's possible confidence in the vaccine itself because not everybody and i would say re

. >> yes, we are going to end the week with our preliminary read on university of michigan for the monthrch our final read at the end of february watt 76.8 and we are expecting 78.5 but it's nowhere near there. it zoom, zoom, zoomed a strong number, i think vaccine-related, potentially reopening awaited, and that's 83.0. 83.0 this takes us all the way back in the way back machine to march. march of last year when it was 89.1 if we look at current conditions, it zoomed as well. it leaped over 90, now 91.5, rearview mirror, 86.2. expectations jumped from 70 to expectation 70.7 last look all the way up to 77.5 on the inflation read though, it's a bit of a different story. sequentially, 3.1 is less than the one-year outlook on inflation at the end of february at 3.3 and if we look at the five to ten-year, it stayed at 2.7 just to give you an idea, the 2.7 level, well, that is the highest since july of 2015 we have had a lot of 2.7s. to find a 2.8 you go public to 2015 and the read on one-year fell from 3.3 and 3.3 you had to go back all the way to 2012 to find a higher read. but that has mod

we are looking for march, final read on university of michigan sentiment. ber, we have the mid month read they get tossed. so we now replace 83.0 on the headline number for our march final to 84.9. that's really a much-improved reading. as a matter of fact, it really is the best reading since covid affected this number in march of 2020 when it was 89.1 and february of 2020 it was 101.0. so this really takes up some of the slack and puts us at a much more -- a much better footing, especially considering the service sector is probably going to be opening up in a much more aggressive fashion as vaccines get out into the public at large. let's go to the internals. if you look at current conditions, it was 91.5. zoom up, up to 93.0. 77.5 on expectations also runs up to 79.7 on the inflation front, the one-year remains the same at 3 .1, but we did see some movement on the 5 to ten-year inflation 2 .7 to 2 .8 now that it's 2 .8, we were 2 .8 in july of 2015. to find a higher reading than 2 .8, you have to go back all the way to august of 2014 for a 2.9. >>> rick, t

again the problem here is that the definition of who has read who's coming this is rebellious is increasingly also amorphous and increasingly even universitiesin the countries are being targeted including again the burst of the philippines the what bit of activism in the philippines for the past century from your perspective are you concerned that the escalation in violence will only get worse and also what do you think are there concrete steps that can be taken to lessen the violence. on your 1st question last year we were already seeing and we were already saying that if the united nations human rights council does not because stronger resolution on the killings that more people would die and we saw that 9 people died in sunday so i don't think that it's a matter of us being concerned that more people would die it's a matter of evidence that more people have indeed died since last year when all these groups have been calling for stronger resolutions not just from the united nations human rights council but from our own government departments the killings of lawyers have started 3 days a.d.'s september october last year but there's the risk

and here right who are living in effectively in parallel universes and don't read the same news they have completely different understandings of what's even happening they can kind of meaningful conversation and i think if we're going to have a healthy democracy it's very important that we are living in the same universe and to have and that you know it's hard to figure out what the truth is really hard. if it weren't so hard we wouldn't need science right we could just point the fact checking committee. the run by some companies or governments telling us what the truth is that we scientists we fought for hundreds of years against that stuff right like imagine if they if galileo put out a tweet saying oh earth is actually orbiting the sun. and then pope urban search i think you maybe said you know no this is misinformation it's not true you know we fought against that sort of stuff so hard as scientists and i think because of that we really have something as a scientific community we can add to to society around the world yet help people find their way and figure out what's actually going on ok that rather more profitable now.
