vin gupta. thank you all for being here. i may have to cut you off if the briefing comes. give us a sense of what you expect dr. walensky to say, monica. >> this is quite different from the mask wearing we've become accustomed to over the last year. the cdc is expected to say if you are more than two weeks out from your second dose or your johnson & johnson shot, you can all but essentially get rid of them. that is if you're indoors or outdoors. they're going to say you are fully protected, and unless you're in a hospital or an airport or a specific business that requires them, they're going to say that people throughout this pandemic have worked so hard, been so careful, socially distanced, but the time has come with more and more people getting shots in arms that they can now not wear their masks. now, of course, a couple weeks ago, remember, the cdc updated their guidance for outdoors if you were fully vaccinated and if you could maintain distance, but they said in crowds you should still probably wear them. they're going to change that today as well and say, again, if

vin gupta. thank you so much for being with us. and ed, you also talked about the dire situation in india and we want to get you on this, but also upon another issue. while the u.s. economy grew in the first months of 2021, i think we're on the path to over 6% gdp growth in 2021. the european economy is actually trending in the other direction with covid-19 outbreaks and lockdowns, the eurozone gdp shrunk actually by 6% from january -- 0.6% from january to ma, which is in line with a similar drop at the end of 2020. after big gains last fall, germany saw the largest decline. france reported a small economic uptick, but that doesn't take into account the national lockdown put into place at the end of march. the u.s. saw the gdp grow by 1.6% over the same time period. in 2020, we saw one statistic after another where people would look at the statistics and go, my god, it seems like the europeans are ahead of us on covid, on covid prevention, on making all the right moves while we seem to be stumbling along. and here we are in 2021, i

vin gupta and donny deutsche. as well as white house reporter for the associated press jonathan lamiere joining us from the rose garden. doctor, we have been covering covid for about a year and five months now i believe. this is a momentous point where from the top of the government, a government now informed by science told that masks for vangted americans are no longer necessary in most cases. >> good afternoon. it is momentous and a wise decision by the cdc to put out the science saying the vaccines keep you out of the hospital away from people like me and also great at stopping transmission. dr. walensky illuminated the vaccine studies on transmission, gosh, 80% to 90% reduction in transmission rates meaning vaccinated you can't unwittingly pass on the vaccine to others not vaccinated and that's huge. i think the devil's in the details because there's one thing for the cdc to say this and the president to amplify this and another to see how it's operationalized. what does this mean for schools and society? do

vin gupta, pulmonologist and global health policy expert.has made and really what the two choices they were facing really meant? >> of course, nicole. good afternoon. so, essentially, there's a clause, this intellectual property, that governs the development of vaccines in this case or even drugs like insulin where the maker is protected and has property rights over the development of, you name it, the covid vaccine or any type of drug, and so that prevents a third party manufacturer from looking at a list of ingredients and making their own version of it. and the problem here is that that's limiting supply, and the big issue here, nicole, is, let's take pfizer, for instance. pfizer claiming that this is going to tamp down innovation. their trade organizations are saying the same thing. but it is confusing to understand that when you look at the facts. pfizer got billions of dollars in prepurchase agreements from the united states when we didn't know if you would have had a workable vaccine. that's number one. early in 2020 they got those co
