it is unclear whether and when astrazeneca will get us fda approval.that right now, the united states has three vaccines in its arsenal, a fourth one is coming up with the novavax vaccine. we don't have particular use for the astrazeneca vaccine, also with the regulatory pause on astrazeneca, same thing happened withjohnson and happened with johnson and johnson, happened withjohnson and johnson, there is a reluctance in the united states and it is public opinion it is a second—tier vaccine, which of course, it is not. i wouldn't be surprised if astrazeneca didn't even demand emergency use authorisation, but went straight for full approval, what we call full licence from the fda later on in the year. professor, from the who. let s get some of the day s other news. the head of the world health organization has congratulated the people of guinea after the latest outbreak of the deadly ebola virus there was declared over. the who chief said that a coordinated response, community engagement and the use of a vaccine meant that guinea had managed to control t

fda is authority of over more than 2.5 trillion worth of products used by consumers. americans expect the food that they eat and the drugs they take will be safe and effective and the fda vast reach covers more than 300,400 establishments and 185,000 domestic establishments ranging from food processing plants to facilities that manufacture life-saving medications. in addition to the facilities themselves the fda is tasked with revelatory responsibly for individual products and in delivering these regulatory responsible use your private sector partners expect transparency and certainty from the fda. in my speech to small business owners and act produces the overwhelming concerns that of the overwhelming burdensome stifle innovation and hinder their ability to great jobs and respond quickly to an emergency situation. while all of this or excuse me, and emergent situations. while we all support fda's mission that we must be mindful of these concerns not more so than ever. i believe the fda must avoid the trappings of a quote, one-size-fits-all approach to regulation. i ur

use be vaping products. so the ban on t-21 i think is very helpful. fda had to stop its compliance checks in the middle of the pandemic because we used underage children as part of the test subjects, along with a trained adult to go in and attempt to purchase and we couldn't send children into those circumstances with covid. but i will say that even before, even when we had the limit at 18, we saw thousands of cases where sales were made to underage, under 18 individuals. so that's a problem out there that those are, those retail outlets still will sell to underage individuals. >> there's been -- i'm a little concerned about the timing of this hearing, while i think it's a very important topic that we cover and you to be here is great. just because courts have frowned upon in the past congress weighing in while there's an agency investigating or reviewing a topic and as a matter of fact, pillsbury company versus ftc. how do we make sure today's hearing is informative for us, informative for the american people but that your decisions are going to be evide

because the fda allowed these cartridges and others to stay on the market,t, listen to this, te use of these menthol flavored tools, products, cartridges, increased from 11% to 62% of the market. another failure by the fda. now we approach one of the biggest milestones in the tobacco regulation history and the agency is going to fail again. after years t of delay by the administrations of both parties, under court order they finally required the tobacco manufacturers to submit applications from the products on september 9th, 2020. this is the long-awaited opportunity for the fda to apply a public health standard that congress passed as long-ago as 2009 and the tobacco control act to evaluate whether a product can stay on the market and whether it is, quote, appropriate for the protection of public health. that is the high bar. it requires them to balance the risk of the youth initiation with potential benefit. the burden is on the manufacturer. to show the products do not harm the user and to show they actually help adults quit smoking. remember the claim made over and over again, prov

not just any vaccination but one vetted by the us fda. >> people are looking at the same science and're coming to slightly different, sometimes dramatically different sort of approaches to this. is so june 26th, eight days from now, they're going to open up, springsteen on broadway, and they're talking about improving the vent lags, increasing overall cleanliness in the theaters. they're also going to require proof of vaccination. someone 16 and old letter have to prove vaccination. you'll have to show that. to your point, that has to be one of the authorized vaccines in the united states. so that's two weeks after the pfizer vaccine, moderna vaccine, or the johnson & johnson vaccine. if you're under 16 and you have a negative covid test and show up with a vaccinated adult, you can still get in. but you have to show a negative covid test. the controversy a little bit is these vaccines have to be specifically ones that are born in the u.s. that's the issue. the moderna, the pfizer, or the johnson & johnson ones. >> you conned us. >> sanjay got us there. >> he sure did. stop, stop. i l

painkillers have been used, fda approved, congress looked the other way. the barcode system distribution, common sense tells you whether shipments are delivered in your house even before the pandemic. >> donald hickory, out of north carolina, good morning, you're next. go ahead, sir. >> yeah, i'm with you. good morning. >> good morning to you. >> can you hear me? >> yes, sir. >> in 2007, i got throat cancer. and they had to put a stomach tube in me. three to four times a day, i was shooting liquid oxycodone and xanax in my stomach. well, after going through cancer, you're addicted to that, especially when it's a liquid and it's going straight to you. so after my cancer treatment, my body was like hurting, because back in 2007 they didn't have pills. in the radiation was horrible. it caused me -- my doctor was prescribing me 330 milligram oxycodones, 90 xanaxs, i was like 16 drugs. this went on for 12 years. i had a heart attack. >> donald, how long with 300 pills last you? >> i was doing ten a day. so, you know, it was supposed to be 300 was 30 days. but y

under 12 and over following the ema for europe has also given the green light to that and in the us the fdahas started vaccinating children aged 12 or over and it is planned in france as well. it is not definitely going to go ahead in the uk. thejcvi, the expert committee on vaccinations which advises the government will give a view on whether it should happen. no doubt some of these ethical issues will come into play. it has been indicated by ministers that there is enough pfizer to go through to 12—year—olds and over. children certainly don't get seriously ill based on the data but they can transmit it to communities and therefore you would want to vaccinate but it is a delicate issue. the us and france with a lot lower levels of uptake, then there is more of an argument for getting the vaccine into children. but certainly, it is a very topical issue right now, as you say. some of these richer countries do have huge stockpiles of vaccines. the uk has millions and millions. either in its hands or on order. yes, i think that that the vaccines currently being used in the uk, a lot was ordere

us. the fda, though, is now warning that the vapors from these products can have side effects. the agency says it's received increasing reports of headaches, nausea, dizziness. so the fda says these reactions are likely due to the sanitizer's vapors, while used in spaces that don't have good-air circulation. so they are asking you to use the products in well-ventilated areas. >>> well, our investigative unit has learned a women's medical group has stopped sending its patients to good samaritan hospital in san jose. hospital sources tell us, it made the move out of concern for the health and safety of pregnant women and babies. investigative reporter, candace nguyen, has been looking at that for months. she joins us now to explain. >> hey, jess. multiple sources in the hospital tell me the women's group is refusing to admit its patients into good sam, anymore, over concerns of patient care and staffing levels at that hospital. they specialize in childbirth and gynecology. it used good samaritan's facilities for deliveries and surgeries. nurses say that partnership existed, for d

could be going to waste some states say that the doses are expiring before they havd a chance to use of the fda looking into how it can make use of those doses here in the u.s. or in other countries. but as of right now, there's no coordinated federal plan to the doses to other nations who want that. the cdc says most states have administered fewer than half of the j and j doses that they've received. it is not clear how many johnson and johnson doses are at risk of expiring. >> a 3rd member down of the fda independent advisory board has quit after the agency's approval of that controversial alzheimer's drug earlier this week. it comes just a few days after the agency gave the drug. i will helm accelerated approval. one advisory member who resigned called a quote, the worst drug approval decision in recent history. the committee was nearly unanimous voting against approving the drug saying there was no. definitive evidence. it was effective and they noted it's expensive. a new study says the treatment would cost $56,000 a year and more than $11,000 in co pays to medicare patients. the single dr

of those, two resigned because they said the fda didn't listen to us. went ahead and they approved this on an accelerated approval. that's where these experts are having an issue, because they say it doesn't look like it helps with anything other than clearing out the plaque. we're not sure what that means. moving forward with this drug, it's interesting to see what happens with it. it's controversial. it's slightly expensive. we don't even know if it really works. >> you said slightly expensive. it's $56,000 a year, right? i think. >> it is $56,000 a year. hopefully, insurance paid for it. that's what the company is hoping on and fda. we will see. >> always good to have you. thank you so much for your insight. >>> not enough focus on climate change. letting corporations off easy. wasting time playing, quote, patty cake with republicans. those are some of the complaints that democrats have over president biden's negotiations for that infrastructure deal. we will take a look at what that means for getting a bipartisan agreement or any agreement at all. >>

we would do emergency use because the emergency -- the only -- i mean, one of the things the fda did te the emergency use process to full approval. the only difference was there was only a couple of months of safety and efficacy data because if they were going to wait for a full year with losing 3,000 american lives lost every day, which is what we were -- where we were at that time, the loss would have been too catastrophic, so that was the idea behind emergency use. it was always meant to be temporary to apply for full approval. and now we're going ahead and doing that. and it's also important because of the optics in that what we're seeing is there are a lot of anti-vaccine groups making false claims that emergency use means that the companies are experimenting on people, which is ridiculous. so hopefully that will start putting some of that nonsense to rest. >> all right, dr. peter hotez, thank you. >> thank you. >>> so, former president trump may be out of office, but he's not out of the minds of house democrats, especially when it comes to getting a copy of his tax returns. and

the emergency use authorization, the fda authorization, will that encompass covid-19 booster vaccines? guest: it is an interesting question. pfizer and moderna are going up for full licensure, so it may be that by the time we rollout boosters that they have achieved licensure already, so at this point it is unknown. i suspect that many of these companies will have licensure by the time boosters are rolled out. host: let's hear from some of our callers. we go first to cary in pennsylvania. good morning. caller: good morning. how are you? host: i am fine, thanks. caller: just a question. i had both doses of the pfizer vaccine. about two months ago. i am still sick. i did not do well at all. i have had multiple symptoms. i was perfectly healthy before, but i thought i should just go get the vaccine because, you know, i figured i am going to need it. and i just want to know, what recourse do i have? there is no liability for these manufacturers, for these pharmaceutical companies. what -- and i am hearing from so many people now who are having these terrible reactions. what recourse do we

fda was really quite egregious. we had reviewed all of the data for clinical benefit and ten of 11 of us thought the data did not indicateclinical benefit. one was uncertain. nobody thought on this committee that this drug had clinical benefit. and then what happened is the fda used what they call accelerated approval. they changed what they used as a measure of benefit. instead of saying clinical benefit they thought there was benefit to what's called a biomarker. they did not contact us or get our advice for that, and then they went ahead and improved -- approved the drug this past monday. a biomarker can be useful for determining clinical benefit if it's proven that that measure predicts clinical benefit. in this case there was no evidence for that. i found this decision so egregious that i resigned the day they made that announcement. >> it's hard to understand, it's hard to really then determine why. not one person on your advisory committee voted yes as you just mentioned to recommend this drug be approved. so how do you explain the fda's decision? has this happened before? >> well, this is the first time that the

the fda had not authorized its use yet, so what we found in our reporting is a white house aide calledey're on. the white house was pressing hahn to move at faster. they wanted him to cut corners and authorize in a matter of hours when he found out it was for the president he was shocked they were not taking their time to make sure they were doing this safely. >> there's a lot of stuff in the book as the illness itself as a microcosm of the broader way the president treated this. like the denial. it's way worse than it looks on the outside but they're trying to put on a happy face. you write that at at least two who were briefed on his condition feared he wouldn't make it out of walter reed. mark meadow was consume with the idea that trump might die. it felt like we weren't getting the story in realtime, but it was shocking to read how feeked out everyone was in the white house during this period. >> he was is jacked up on steroids he insist at his physician let him out of the hospital just a few days after he was let in. the bob conley directed him to keep him in the hospital. he thou
