from our on this on the coronavirus vaccine we bring in dr william schaffner with the vanderbilt university medical center dr schaffner thank you for joining us today let's start with this 1000000 dollar question there's no published data even though we just heard from the chief saying that the results from the face 3 trial will be published so is this marxian going to be safe and effective. well we certainly hope so and the phase 3 trial of course will tell us that one patient even though the prime minister's daughter. it is not sufficient to get a vaccine out to hundreds of thousands if not millions of people and there is a little bit of confusion about how quickly this vaccine will be distributed to the population or whether they are going to wait until the results of that phase 3 trial are available which is of course the way we intend to do it right well let me ask you this dr we've seen a mcgurn also start there face 3 trial here in the united states how what's the difference between mcgurn us trial and what russia is announcing that they've completed a phase 2 trial and are just star

i studied religion at vanderbilt and worked nights as a police reporter at the nashville tennessean.nd i saw more of what could go wrong in america, not only on the police beat but as an investigative reporter covering local government. i also saw so much of what could go right: citizens lifting up local communities, family by family, block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood, in churches and charities, on school boards and city councils. and then, tipper and i started our own family. and when our first daughter, karenna, was born, i began to see the future through a fresh set of eyes. i know a lot of you have had that feeling, too. and i decided i couldn't turn away from service at home any more than i could have turned away from service in vietnam. that's why i ran for congress. in my first term, a family in hardeman county, tennessee, wrote a letter and told how worried they were that toxic waste, a lot of it, had been dumped near their home. i held some of the first hearings on the issue, and ever since i've been there in the fight against the big polluters. our children shoul

william schaffner, a professor at vanderbilt. a quarter of a million people traveling there, it sounds like a super spreader. >> good grief, jim. they're doing the opposite of all the recommendations. no big groupings, no social distancing, hardly any masks being worn. that's a formula for the covid virus to spread. minding, this has nothing to do with motorcycles or having fun, and it doesn't have anything to do with either politics or individual freedom to make decisions. it's a contagious virus. it's not just up to you. it's up to you and you can infect other people while doing that. you're going to take this virus home. i guarantee you. any number of people brought the virus to this event. it will spread among many of the participants and will be taken back to their homes where they will spread it furse. this is an accelerant of the outbreak that we're having in the united states. >> what can public officials do in a situation like this? >> well, it's very as your previous piece mentioned this has a huge economic impact for t

william shafter, a professor at vanderbilt university. the other doctor is dr.iam hassletein, author of "the new book of covid back-to-school guide." thank you, doctors. what do you think of dr. fauci's warning? are we close to having this virus under control? >> don, it's more of the same, i'm afraid. the virus continues to spread, largely unchecked throughout most of the country. the country is still not serious about wearing masks, social distancing, and avoiding charge group -- large groups. when that is the case, when we continue to have community spread, it's very difficult to open schools at very low risk. there are things we can do. but this virus is still out there spreading. it's not going to disappear, don. >> doctor, talk about the schools for me, please. >> well, he's exactly right. we're now in a stage of community spread. it's very dangerous state to be in for any gathering. let alone schools in which you're in generally small spaces for a long time. there are three or four things that i advise parents to do. the first is to know their environment

tina heartert of vanderbilt university is working with the nih on the study of the coronavirus. and a former professor at harvard medical school and author of covid back to school guide. when you hear dr. fauci say there should be universal mask wearing? at schools, i'm wondering, does that make sense? >> it makes a lot of sense. children can be infected. children can infect others, and children can contract very serious disease. i think when we talk about children, we have to say children from zero to 5. they're highly infectious to other people. they have 1,000 times more virus in their nose than you need to infect. >> when the president says that children don't pass it on. in the same way that adults do, that's just not correct? >> in fact, it's correct. only in the opposite sense. it's likely that small children pass it on much more efficiently. then have you children in the ages of 6 to 12. they're the ones who are most likely to get the lethal effects of all the kids. they're the ones that get the you a lethal effects. the peak is about age 7 to 8. then you have children 1

president trump's announcement moments ago, let's bring in the professor of infectious diseases at vanderbiltniversity. it's not a vaccine, doctor. it is a treatment. what do you think of it? >> well, jon, my heart hopes that it's right, but my brain is more cautious than the enthusiasm that we've heard. the data, although it's a large amount of data is really grade c data. it's not critically done. i wish they had started to use the plasma in a controlled trial, with placebos. we don't really know how effective it is. and i want to quote the fda commissioner stephen hahn, it's promising efficacy, and the data suggests. that level of caution is appropriate. actually this emergency use authorization will make it easier for people to actually get plasma. we don't know how well it works still, and it will make it more difficult to recruit patients into the trials that are ongoing that would give it a rigorous evaluation. the fda has done this before. they did an emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine. they were all enthusiastic about it and then had to withdraw it when it was found n

with me is infectious disease professor of vanderbilt university dr. william shafter. the fact the epa says we have the numbers, 100,000 children testing positive for covid-19 in a two-week period at the end of july in this country, and at least 86 children have died from it in this country since may, you said that this will lead to a turbulent school season. i think yes. no one can dispute that. does it change your thinking about how and which schools should be opening physically? >> well, poppy, it reinforces the notion that first of all, although children are let apt to get really sick, some do, but they're less apt to get sick. they can certainly been infected. if they can become infected, they can shed the virus and they can be contagious. so they're clearly distributors, and what this means is we're going to be seeing outbreaks particularly the more we test, around the country, among children, as we open up our schools. of course the reason all this is happening is because we haven't controlled the virus spread in the community. new zealand has now celebrated its

so is rice and vanderbilt.ind that very surprising considering those are schools that pride themselves on academics and science and knowledge and right now their winging it and we'll see what happens over the next few weeks. >> winging it. some schools yes and no so it is piecemeal. this whole sports story is a microcosm of what is happening in country. christine brennan, thank you very much. good to see you. >> you too, brooke. thank you. >>> the president of the united states is engaging in blatant racism again. this time questioning the citizenship of senator kamala harris. and i have a thing or two to say about that.

jonathan reiner a cnn medical analyst and professor of m medicine george washington university and vanderbilt medical center. dr. reiner, first, your reaction to this. i suppose we should have seen this coming? >> yeah. of course. georgia opened with widespread virus in the community, and actually, when you look at the cdc recommendations for opening schools that were just published about ten days ago, one of the caveats was a caution in communities with widespread virus. so just to give you a sense. georgia has about 4,400 new cases per day. that's about 440 cases per million population. when taiwan opened, their schools in february, they had zero cases per million. no community spread. when japan opened in april, they had about 3.5 cases per million and when germany opened in may, they had 13 cases per million in the community. georgia has 440 cases per million in the community. about 3 to 3.5 time what is it in the u.s. as whole. there's too much virus in the community. it's nice they're closing down the school to disinfect the school, but the virus isn't being transmitted by the school. i

what they tell you is worth acting on and that's why i have infectious disease specialist with vanderbilt university on the show as often as i do. i know his credentials, i tracked him over time on this. nobody knows everything. he asks the right questions and he's worried about the right things. thank you for being a gift to the audience and to me when i was sick during this time. >> good to be with you, chris, here's a reality, it may be three hours early, but congratulations on entering the second half century of your life's adventure. happy birthday, pal. >> there will have to be better scientists than you to keep me alive for another 50 years, but thank you very much. this is an easy fact check. pre-existing condition protection exists now in the law. he's fighting it in courts. he's not giving us anything with an executive order the way he says he is. is that the truth? >> it's the truth. i'm kind of baffled. maybe existing conditions need the protection of an executive order against members of his own party who want to repeal it. when i was an intern, i thought by now we would have

william schaffner joins us now from vanderbilt university. doctor, thanks so much for joining us. at least 20 states seeing a downward trend in new cases here. what is working in those states? >> well, jim, what we think is working is wearing masks, social distancing and avoiding large gatherings. you know the population seems to have divided itself into two groups. there's the safe group, the very careful group that are adhering to that, and then there's the other group that are more carefree rather than careful, and we're still concerned that there are too many carefree people out there. as admiral giroir said, we have to maintain this for a long period of time. it's not a sprint. it's a marathon, and the virus is not just going to disappear, so we have to maintain these mitigation efforts if we want to keep controlling this virus. >> doctor, what do you make of the guidance -- we just had the president of the american academy of pediatrics on last hour and their guidance is pushing really hard for schools to reopen but she acknowledged there are places where they should not ope

todd rice down at vanderbilt university medical center, he talked about how his hospital dealt with thehough the hospital system had developed a randomized placebo-controlled trial for convalescent plasma, the other trials took priority. how concerning is that to you, especially as some leaders continue to promote hydroxychloroquine as a treatment despite the fact it's been proven not to help? >> this is something i've been worried about from day one, the push of politics over public health. we know and i've been on tv and social media trying to educate people that as of today there's no rigorous good science that says hydroxychloroquine, whether given early or late, whether alone or in combination with other medications, has any meaningful impact on covid-19. despite this we still hear people pushing this in a pedestal, our politicians. it's frustrating because we know it's not true. it's frustrating because, as you're pointing out, is this taking up space, not just this conversation we're having on tv, but taking up space in hospitals in terms of how we're doing research and how we're

william schaffner now, former cdc official and professor of infectious diseases at vanderbilt medical center. the florida education commissioner just spoke with jake tapper on cnn about florida's decision to mandate in-person classes in the fall. he said sending kids back to school is safe because they have less risk of catching coronavirus than they do seasonal flu. here's what he said. >> the risks that are known are certain, are profound on not sending children back, child abuse cases, suicide deaths, drug overdoses, achievement gap exacerbations, food insecurities. it's far greater than the low, low risk of even less than seasonal flu. >> what's your reaction to that conclusion? >> he doesn't know that. i don't know what data he's using. as nick said, opening schools is a risky business. we're doing it all over the country in various ways trying to do it carefully. but we all know, in effect, we're doing an experiment. we'll have to see what happens, and we must have a plan to respond if there are cases. dr. gupta said that in your previous segment. he's absolutely right about tha

out of vanderbilt is the name that she became famous with.he name she was born with. it was the daughter of a my prosperous businessman. she grew up in alabama and then her family moved to new york city. and she was even from a young age a piece of work. she was domineering. dictatorial. bossy. bad tempered. egomaniacal. she was picks fights, she even from the youngest age he was this little kind of fireplug with a face that a friend of hers trying to be nice said it resembled a denny's but i think actually to be more accurate it would say she looked like a lot like a pitbull. you had some sense, he's one of these indomitable people who walks into a room and take it over. so there she is in new york and she has had a distance for herself and she decided the only way she's going to make her mark on the world is if she has access to some kind of money . and so he doesn't have any herself so she can't take away from new york society and settled on a man named willie vander who was a charming, handsome playboy who just happened to be the grandson

wealthy guests with names like vanderbilt and chrysler who used to come to the club. she made a very good living one way or another, whether legally or illegally. when she died, it turned out she had earned $700,000 in one year in 1926. and lesser amounts in other years. even though her clubs were routinely raided by the police. her famous greeting to people who came to the club was hello, suckers. but she was obviously no sucker. now this kind of behavior repelled a good many americans, those who supported probation and thought it should be enforced as strictly as possible. they thought people who didn't enforce probation were evil, immoral people. the most popular probationists in the 1920s was not a government official or certainly not a treasury department agent trying to enforce the law, it was the most popular protestant eadvantagestist in the country, in the united states, until billy graham later in the 1950s. billy graham is still alive today but no longer preaching a lot. name of this evangelist was billy sunday. that was his real name, by the way. here's bi

william shaffner, professor of the division of infectious diseases at varn vanderbi vanderbilt. dr. shaffner, to you. 300,000 deaths by december. that is the projection of this model out of the university of washington. that is a sobering number. >> john, it's a powerful number, it's a profoundly sad number, and we can think that 70,000 of those people could be saved if we would all just wear a mask every day, every time we leave our front doors. it's so important. it's important to think back how many more people could have been saved if we had all been doing that for the last three months. but let's look forward. these are lives we can all save, if we all wear masks. and we need national direction to do that. this virus is not just going to disappear or vanish, we're -- the virus is with us and we're going to have to combat it. and the simple thing that we can all do is wear a mask. please, everyone, wear your mask every day. >> dr. shaffner, you make it sound so easy. and we know, in reality, it is easy to do. but there is pushback that still continues in this country that when w

william shaffner, an infectious disease specialist at vanderbilt university. shannon, i want to start with you. today, the president said he's alonging very strongly at an executive order to address some of the financial concerns that millions of americans are facing as congress is still stalled. i wonder if there's any action behind the scenes on that or if it's the same thing as him saying that he was going to have a health care plan two weeks ago in two weeks which is now and so far there is no health care plan. >> well, right. no health care plan, a number of things that were supposed to come in two weeks that we do not have. on the front of some sort of executive action when it comes to extending this unemployment insurance, you know, that's something that the white house is certainly posturing. it's very difficult to tell at this point whether that's sort of a negotiating tactic or something they are actually considering and believe they could pull off legally, and even if they can't pull it off legally, can they pull it off politically? because of cours

. >> one of the many things that you've done is you've given a million dollars to the vanderbilt universitym wondering, for people who aren taking this very seriously, what would you say to them? >> well, i think you better take it serious since we don't know what it is. and it is so crazy in this world today.us got to ask god to help you past that and use your higher wisdom to feel like since we don't know for sure what it is or how bad it is, we need to be smart. we need to be safe and not take any unnecessary chances. and so i just think weha - w is right. >> yeah. the world -- >> in everything. >> i know. dolly, w s upside down. anden roiceub o people were apeciative when yid >>well, i'm sure you're g y base to get backlash. when i did that article, it was for the billboard magazine which on i was the cover. when i did the article, it was in the midst of all that. they asked me that, i said absolutely black lives matter. all lives matter, we're all god's children. we're all in this together. >> yep. >> whether we like it or not, we're in it together. we need to try to be supportive and

the andrew carnegie's, the cornelius vanderbilt's, who had a lot of political power and influence and in that sense, were the central planners of the economy. so he would have been with you on that. he just wanted there to be a more diverse group of people, working people, who had a role in the planning of the economy and how wealth was distributed. he was against the central planning that was being done by very wealthy americans and business owners. >> in the interest of time, we were talking about the draft, but i want to go on to his position on the draft and his famous speech in ohio. to share with our viewers, it was the speech that ended up having debs arrested. to get a flavor of it, here is one of two quotes. the working class who shed their blood have never had a voice in making more or declaring p eace. if war is right, let it be made by the people. did he know he was going to jail? >> he had to know that it was likely. he knew that there were federal agents, stenographers taking down what he had to say. i think he gave a number of speeches along the same lines up to that po
