U.S. AND UK, AND IT DOESN’T LOOK
LIKE THEY WILL BE CATCHING UP
SOON.
>> A DIFFICULT SITUATION.
THANKS FOR THAT REPORT.
>>> JOINING US NOW TO MILWAUKEE
MORE ABOUT THIS IS THE SENIOR
SCHOLAR.
DOCTOR, GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE
AGAIN.
WE KNOW WE CAN’T CONTAIN THE
VIRUS UNTIL IT IS CONTAINED
ACROSS THE GLOBE.
IT CAN TRAVEL MORE EASILY THAN
OTHER VACCINES, THE J&J.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO FIX IT?
>> THE LONGER THE PAUSE, THE
HARDER TO RESTART.
THIS IS A SINGLE DOSE, ONE AND
DONE.
WE ARE ALREADY SEEING A
CASCADING IMPACT IN THE UNITED
STATES WITH DELAYS IN EUROPE.
WE HAVE HEARD THAT AUSTRALIA IS
NOT BUYING THIS VACCINE AND
SOUTH AFRICA IS NOT USING IT.
THIS IS ON TOP OF THE
ASTRAZENECA VACCINE FALTERING IN
A SIMILAR MANNER.
THERE ARE CASCADING NEGATIVE
IMPACTS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC
DON’T MAKE RISK CALCULATIONS.
THEY WILL REMEMBER THE HEADLINES
AND NOT HOW RARE THESE SIDE
EFFECTS ARE.
>> CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW THE
ASTRAZENECA VACCINE AND J&J
VACCINE ARE SIMILAR TO EACH
OTHER IN CATEGORY TO THE PFIZER
AND MODERNA VACCINES?
>> BOTH USE A WHOLE DIFFERENT
TECHNOLOGY, SOMETHING CALLED AN
ADENO VIRUS.
WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IS
ENGINEERED ADENO VIRUS TO
DELIVER THE SPIKE PROTEIN TO
YOUR CELLS.
THAT’S WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR
YOUR IMMUNITY.
MODERNA AND PFIZER TAKE THE
GENE, THE MESSENGER RNA SEQUENCE
OF THAT PROTEIN AND GIVE IT TO
YOU DIRECTLY IN YOUR BODY.
IT’S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT WAY.
BECAUSE THEY BOTH USE THE SAME
TECHNOLOGY AND SEEM TO CAUSE THE
SAME SIDE’S EFFECT IN EXTREME
AND RARE CIRCUMSTANCES, PEOPLE
ARE HYPOTHESIZING THAT IT IS THE
CARRIER USED FOR BLOOD
COMPONENTS AND SETTING OFF THIS
BLOOD CLOTTING.
THE RUSSIAN VACCINE ALSO USES
ADENOVIRUSES, SO WE ARE WAITING
TO SEE IF THIS IS IN OTHER
VACCINES AS WELL.
>> PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE
TRYING TO REASSURE PEOPLE HERE.
THE SURGEON GENERAL APPEARED IN
THE WHITE HOUSE BRIEFING ROOM
AND TRIED TO REASSURE PEOPLE
THIS WILL BE FINE IF THIS IS THE
SHOT YOU ALREADY RECEIVED.
LET ME SOW YOU WHAT HE HAD TO
SAY AND WE WILL TALK MORE ABOUT
IT.
>> THIS IS YOUR SAFETY SYSTEM
WORKING FOR YOU.
WE WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE
CONFIDENCE.
THE VACCINES WE ARE RECOMMENDING
ARE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE AND THIS
IS HOW WE DO THEM.
>> THEY SAY THIS IS PROOF WE ARE
BEING HONEST WITH YOU.
IF WE CATCH A PROBLEM, WE WILL
TELL YOU ABOUT IT.
YOU SHOULD FEEL SAFE OR GOOD
WHEN WE MAKE A RECOMMENDATION.
WITH THIS PAUSE, DO YOU THINK
AMERICANS WILL BE WILLING TO GO
AND GET THE J&J VACCINE
ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE THE
OPTION FOR THE PFIZER OR
MODERNA.
>> I THINK WE WILL SEE HESITANCY
WITH THE J&J VACCINE.
AND WE SAW THE SAME THING IN NEW
YORK, A HESITANCY AFTER THEY
LIFTED THE ASTRAZENECA PAUSE IT.
THE CDC COULD HAVE HAD AN
INVESTIGATION, ALERTED HEALTH
CARE PROVIDERS, TALKED TO THE
GENERAL PUBLIC AND IF THEY WERE
GOING TO DO A PAUSE, NOT MAKE IT
BLANKET, BUT MAKE IT THE PEOPLE
AT RISK, 18 TO 48-YEAR-OLD
WOMEN.
I THINK YOU PROBABLY WOULD NOT
HAVE LOST AS MANY TO VACCINE
HESITANCY.
I HOPE I AM WRONG BUT I THINK WE
WILL SEE MORE PEOPLE SHYING AWAY
FROM THE JOHNSON & JOHNSON
VACCINE.
I THINK THIS IS A VACCINE BEING
HIT WITH BAD HEADLINES THROUGH
NO FAULT OF ITS OWN.
>> IT’S INTERESTING WHEN YOU
THINK ABOUT WHAT THE
