do you believe the people of west virginia want that? that is where president trump has some of his most devoted supporters who following his lead were fighting these election results. are the people of west virginia open to this message of let's go, let's work together? >> well, i surely hope to goodness that they are and i think that they are. i mean, west virginia is -- just think about this, stephanie. we're first in the nation to test all of our residents in our nursing homes, we're first in the nation to vaccinate, and we're now on our second shots, completing our second shots with our nursing homes. i think we're done right now. but it is amazing what west virginia is doing and has done. our people absolutely are excited about the new president. they're -- they were absolutely supportive of president trump but we're going to move forward. and i promise you, from my governorship standpoint, i am absolutely the guy that would always say respect the presidency. for god sakes of living, let's respect the presidency and let's work toge

claymarsh, covid czar and vice president of west virginia university. ctor, thank you for joining us. you know, your state, and i mean it with respect, because i am from winchester, virginia, and i could hit a 3 iron into west virginia, and it is relatively small geographically, but it has a lot of independent pharmacies, and the mom and pops that used to be everywhere still exist, and in places that, you know, like morgantown, and berkeley and others and how much has that been able to help you the streamline this important process? >> well, thank you, brian. and we certainly are very proud of the fact that we have been able to immunize over 85% of our citizens with the first doses that we received from operation warp speed. so certainly as we are looking at the supply chain to be able to handle the vaccine, we immediately targeted pharmacies is and pharmacists to protect the vaccine s and also as you point out, we have over 50% of the pharmacies in west virginia that are privately owned, and so we put together a network of all of the pharmacies that rea

we made tremendous headway and tremendous strides in west virginia. but absolutely not to dodge your question in any way, i wish to goodness this was over. i wish we would just let our president finish four days and go on his way, and we should celebrate our new president, president biden coming in. i've been great friends with the trump family. i hope and pray i'll end up being great friends with the biden family as well. >> i want to talk about west virginia's response to covid, because you deserve a lot of credit right now in terms of the vaccine rollout. i want to talk about that in a moment, but there is conversation around the country, and you know this, what happens with the president after he's gone? does he try to exert party influence? mitch mcconnell says a way to get president trump to stop would be to rid him from the

that is what is going on here in west virginia. are, i keep saying west virginia at the top of these lists. now we've got "the los angeles times," an opinion piece, governor, saying california is the model for the biden administration when we see some problems in california. for example, $10 billion in jobless benefits just basically flying out the door because of fraud. those are covid-19 jobless benefits. they think maybe overseas gangs got at the money. strict lockdowns, twice as many covid cases in california versus florida. california democrats violating their own shutdown rules. l.a. county official saying no outdoor dining, then is caught eating outdoors within hours of her vote outlawing it. junkets by sacramento politicians to hawaii, they say don't travel pause of covid. your reaction to -- what would be model like to have california as california being the model for the biden administration? your reaction to that? >> i would say this, you know, i speak really bluntly and a lot of people give me a hard time speaking folks

so the co-vid czar for west virginia is here. more than 9% of west virginians have received at least one dose. so we want to know, how to do it better. that's why we called on this doctor. doctor, thank you for joining. your state is a leader in delivering the vaccines. you've administered 83% of the doses you have. many states are struggling to give out even half their supply. what are you doing in west virginia? >> well, there's really four things that i believe we're doing that's happening us distribute vaccines. number one, is we have a clear priority plan. we know that we want to save lives, reduce hospitalizations, make sure that we maintain the capacity and function of both health care and our communities. number two is we've created a team of teams. we an interagency task force that is led by our national guard operations folks. and everybody that sits around the task force whether you're in the dhhr or in the hospital association, long-term care association, you wear a west virginia hat. number three is we have an agile t

west virginia, shelley describing it as a disaster. john cornyn of texas calling it shortsighted and heavy handed. most of the ire is directed at that ban on new oil and gas leases on federal property business groups are worried that this is really just the first step toward ending all oil and gas production on federal land, and that's a move that could threaten more than a million jobs in just the next two years, they say, wyoming could lose 33,000 jobs. new mexico could lose 62,000, and in texas, more than 120,000 jobs would be at risk. >> so pushing back against this industry at a time when the economy is still faring relatively poorly right now, we think is bad economics, and it's certainly not good for american energy independence. >> reporter: but the white house says that today's actions are about creating jobs, not getting rid of them, and that there will be new opportunities for engineers and steel workers in domestic manufacturing and clean energy or even in the newly created climate conservation corps. >> people need to have

in west virginia today, just imagine this, in west virginia as of monday, every single vaccine we haves either in somebody's arm or had a name tagged to it that it was going to be in somebody's arm in the next day or so. this coming sunday, every one of the vaccines that we received yesterday will be in somebody's arm 100%, will be in somebody's arm, and the same thing will happen next week. and the way we've done it is we've absolutely not gone with the federal model and everything, with the big chain drugstores. we've gone with the local pharmacies, with absolutely pushing from the standpoint of our national guard and our dhhr and all of our people. but the bottom line is just this, that it's as simple as mud. if you can get shots in arms, you're going to save lives. and how in the world we can't see one thing, this is all about age, age and age. and the elderly, the ones that we created in a thing called operation s.o.w., save our wisdom, and absolutely we have done it. little old west virginia, one of the poor states, one of the states where people are spread out all over the place

and some states such as west virginia are doing a great job., those will keep on getting better until our target of 75 to 80%. but that's only one part of the story. the bigger part of the story is the supply issue. right? so there's a large demand for vaccines, which is both of you and me. but there's only going to be 200 million doses of vaccine until march. that's not enough for everybody who needs it. and that's why you heard that frank statement from the white house and from the cdc director that, nobody, everybody who wants a vaccine will not be able to get it until the spring and the summer when more vaccine doses are made available. the piece of good news in that potentially is that if the johnson & johnson vaccine is approved, that may be another source of supply for us. >> the new cdc detector rochelle walensky talked about new concerns about the variants that are very much here in the united states. listen to what she said. >> the variants have been identified recently and seem to spread more easily. they're more transmissaible, whic

what are you doing in west virginia?well, don, there's really four things that i believe that we're doing that's helping us distribute vaccines. number one is we have a clear priority plan. we know that we want to save lives, reduce hospitalizations, make sure that we maintain the capacity and function of both health care and our communities. number two is we've created a team of teams. we have an interagency task force that is led by our national guard operations folks, and everybody that sits around the task force, whether you're in the dhhr, you're in the hospital assu wear a west virginia hat. number three is we have an agile team, so we know that with this black swan event that is covid-19, that we can't predict the future. so whe want to make sure we're able to pivot and be very agile. number four is we understood the state of west virginia, so we decided to take control of our state where we knew we had half of our pharmacies being locally owned. so we did not activate the federal program and went instead with a p

i would say we really need to look at what is working well here in west virginia. it has been largely due to the teamwork. 45% of the pharmacies and our state are independent pharmacies and they are in the more rural areas which has really helped to get the vaccines out to those who might not otherwise be able to get the vaccine, so i would say look at our model, look at what is working well, look at the teamwork that we have employed. it is truly a team effort for us to be able to successfully distribute the vaccines that we have in a timely manner and get them into the arms of those who need it the most and help us to quickly work through the groups that we need to vaccinate. find that we need to vaccinate. and ou have that we need to vaccinate. and you have been _ that we need to vaccinate. and you have been working in aged care homes for the vaccine rollout, have you experienced any anti—vaccine sentiment? there is hesitancy with this vaccine as there are with any vaccines, so we have really utilised this to educate and provide that education to the staff at the

west virginia.gital reporter mora barrett has the story. >> reporter: without a federal system in place for a vaccine administration, each state is doing it a little differently. but some states like west virginia are having better results than others. >> we don't have vaccines in a warehouse sitting on a shelf. we've got them in people's arms. >> reporter: west virginia is topping the charts with one of the best per capita vaccine rates in the country. it's also near the top of the list of states administering a high rate of doses distributed to them. but how exactly are they doing it? for one, they're focusing on high risk populations first. the state was the first in the country to complete first-round vaccinations in nursing homes and long term care facilities. there was another strategy they used. >> our great national guard and all of our health officials came up with an idea to basically recruit all the local pharmacies. >> our state is very unusual in that walgreens and cvs are not nearly as

we're screaming in west virginia for vaccine.d we don't go to different states and pull some around and shift some around because really at the end of the day, all states are americans and every hour that goes by, somebody is dyeing and we can save lives if we move. but if we don't and we continue to do what we're doing and hoard and try to protect and do all of that kind of stuff, we're going to have bad stuff happen. >> absolutely. it seems like you have to keep an eye on many different balls, juggling them all at the same time to do this all successfully. as you know, sir, the president hoping to pass his $1.9 trillion stimulus package. that one would include $400 billion to expand vaccinations, also to open schools. how about there in west virginia, how would you use these additional funds? how would that help? >> well, west virginia is like all states, we've got needs and we're hurting in a lot of different areas and we've got a lot of people we can still help in a lot of different ways. we tried to imagine the economics in

the west virginia story to me is really striking. "the new york times" wrote this piece about west virginia. early on the state got a significant head start because it initially opted out of the federal program to vaccine people in nursing homes and oolong term care facilities. instead west virginia created networks pairing them with health care facilities. west virginia finished its first round of vaccinations last month while many states were just getting started. pretty striking. >> pretty striking. now, it's not clear that getting in or out of the federal program is really makes a difference. obviously, as my colleague bill galston said in a piece he wrote on the brookings website. in west virginia what happened was these pharmacies were very local. >> right. >> because they were local, people trusted them. people who ordinarily would not -- would maybe be a little leary of the vaccine knew their pharmacist and the pharmacist said, yeah, hey, get this, this is okay. so that may be an element of social trust that was working in we

half of our pharmacies in west virginia are independently owned.acies in a network that could reach people not only in the population centers that we have but in the rural communities as well. >> that was something that we were not going to be able to have if we had activated the federal pharmacy partnership early on because we knew that there was at least a two-week delay with the federal pharmacy partnership. >> reporter: this worked well initially but officials soon realized they needed to change course. >> we had to make a really big pivot away from really going with the walgreens and cvs to going with our national guard. >> reporter: at least 16 states have activated the national guard to assist with vaccinations. president biden plans to deploy both fema and the national guard nationwide to help increase vaccination numbers across the board. >> by the end of our first month in office we will have 100 federally supported centers across the nation that will ultimately vaccinate millions of people. >> reporter: when it comes to the number of dos

the west virginia story to me is striking.ote this, early on the state got a significant head start because it initially opted out of the federal program to vaccinate people in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. instead, west virginia created a network of pharmacies pairing them with 200 long-term care facilities. as a result, west virginia finished its first round of nursing homes last month while many states were just getting started. pretty striking. >> pretty striking. it's not clear that getting in or out of the federal program really makes a difference. obviously as my colleague bill wrote on the brookings website, in west virginia what happened was these pharmacies were very local. >> right. >> and because they were local, peep trusted them. >> yes. >> so people who ordinarily would not -- would maybe be a little leery of the vaccine, knew their pharmacist and the pharmacist said, hey, get this, this is okay. so that may be an element of social trust that was working in west virginia. we don't really kno
