of Warp Speed,

that we could remove dead space
194

development process

the vaccine manufacturers more.

- Yeah.
198
00:10:10,542 --> 00:10:14,626
- My sense is you also feel
a sense of responsibility
199
00:10:14,709 --> 00:10:19,459
to be the guardian at the gate
and to not let things through
200
00:10:19,542 --> 00:10:22,125
that shouldn't get through,
and you have this possibility
201
00:10:22,209 --> 00:10:25,125
that if a company asks for
an Emergency Use Authorization
202
00:10:25,209 --> 00:10:27,959

give it to them overnight,

- He's politically motivated.
711
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,709
- What about all the other...
712
00:34:14,792 --> 00:34:16,334
- He's wearing a hat
that says that.
713
00:34:16,417 --> 00:34:18,834
Don't tell me that.
Talk to him.
714
00:34:18,918 --> 00:34:20,334
- Talk to him.
715
00:34:20,417 --> 00:34:22,542
- These kids can read.
Shame on him.
716
00:34:22,626 --> 00:34:23,500
- Whoo!
- Whoo!
717
00:34:23,584 --> 00:34:24,834
Latinos for Trump!
You know how it goes.
718
00:34:24,918 --> 00:34:27,250
We want four more years.
Four more.
719
00:34:27,334 --> 00:34:29,250
- Fauci's a disaster.
720
00:34:29,334 --> 00:34:31,792
I mean, this guy--every time
he goes on television,
721
00:34:31,876 --> 00:34:33,334
there's always a bomb.
722
00:34:33,417 --> 00:34:35,000
He called
every one of them wrong.
723
00:34:35,083 --> 00:34:38,918
People are tired
of hearing Fauci.
724
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,292
They say, "You know,
he's a wonderful guy."
725
00:34:40,375 --> 00:34:41,959
And he is a wonderful guy.
I like him.
726
00:34:42,042 --> 00:34:44,000
He just happens
to have a very bad arm.
727
00:34:44,083 --> 00:34:47,042

728

[cheers and applause]
729
00:34:51,626 --> 00:34:53,167
He has a bad arm.
730
00:34:53,250 --> 00:34:55,334

Arrest Fauci!
731
00:34:55,417 --> 00:34:56,834
Arrest Fauci!
732
00:34:56,918 --> 00:34:58,334
- Well, this
is just disturbing to hear.
733
00:34:58,417 --> 00:35:00,042
Dr. Anthony Fauci,
a key member
734
00:35:00,125 --> 00:35:03,167
of the White House
Coronavirus Task Force,
735
00:35:03,250 --> 00:35:05,584
he is now facing
death threats.
736
00:35:05,667 --> 00:35:08,417
- This war on science,
Dr. Fauci.
737
00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:11,125
You are the face of science
for so many right now,
738
00:35:11,209 --> 00:35:12,459
not just here
in the United States,
739
00:35:12,542 --> 00:35:13,792
but around the world.
740
00:35:13,876 --> 00:35:16,626
- I wouldn't have imagined
in my wildest dreams
741
00:35:16,709 --> 00:35:20,292
that people don't like
what I say,
742
00:35:20,375 --> 00:35:22,375
namely in the word of science,
743
00:35:22,459 --> 00:35:23,959
that they
actually threaten you.
744
00:35:24,042 --> 00:35:25,876
I mean, that, to me,
is just strange.
745
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:48,292
- Oh, that's kind of you.
Thank you.
746
00:35:49,417 --> 00:35:50,500
- Okay.
747
00:35:53,375 --> 00:35:55,000
- And I'm gonna turn on
my recorder.
748
00:35:56,250 --> 00:36:00,000
So this is an attempt
to make a time capsule,
749
00:36:00,083 --> 00:36:02,334
to capture something
for history.
750
00:36:02,417 --> 00:36:05,542
What's happening right now
so that we can look back on it
751
00:36:05,626 --> 00:36:09,375
and understand, you know,
this really intense time?
752
00:36:09,459 --> 00:36:14,375
- The problem is,
is that I'm walking a fine line
753
00:36:14,459 --> 00:36:16,876
of being the only one
754
00:36:16,959 --> 00:36:20,292
in that task force
who's not afraid
755
00:36:20,375 --> 00:36:22,751
to tell the president
or the vice president
756
00:36:22,834 --> 00:36:25,250
what they don't want to hear.
757
00:36:25,334 --> 00:36:27,834
I mean, I'm not trying
to undermine the president,
758
00:36:27,918 --> 00:36:30,125
but there is something
that's called reality.
759
00:36:30,209 --> 00:36:31,083
- Yeah, sure.
760
00:36:31,167 --> 00:36:32,209
- So that when you have,
you know,
761
00:36:32,292 --> 00:36:35,042
40,000 infections a day
762
00:36:35,125 --> 00:36:38,000
or goes up to 70,000 infections
763
00:36:38,083 --> 00:36:41,250
and then plateaus at 44,000,
764
00:36:41,334 --> 00:36:44,209
that's not good news.
- Yeah.
765
00:36:44,292 --> 00:36:46,542
- The president goes around,
and he'll ask something,
766
00:36:46,626 --> 00:36:49,584
and I'll say,
"No, absolutely not."
767
00:36:49,667 --> 00:36:51,417
And everybody goes, "Eeeh!"
768
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:53,459
You know, how could you
possibly say that?
769
00:36:53,542 --> 00:36:57,042
Some people,
no names being named,
770
00:36:57,125 --> 00:37:00,125
get really awestruck
771
00:37:00,209 --> 00:37:02,959
by the Oval Office
and awestruck by the West Wing
772
00:37:03,042 --> 00:37:05,751
and awestruck by the cars
coming in and out
773
00:37:05,834 --> 00:37:08,292
and the Secret Service,
you know, with their guns
774
00:37:08,375 --> 00:37:09,959
and all that sort of stuff,
775
00:37:10,042 --> 00:37:12,792
and then you say to yourself,
"Gee, this is really cool."
776
00:37:12,876 --> 00:37:15,751
And you hesitate to really say
777
00:37:15,834 --> 00:37:18,250
what you think of something.
778
00:37:18,334 --> 00:37:21,918
I have not hesitated at all.
779
00:37:23,375 --> 00:37:26,000
- I know it's late for you,
and it's been a very long day.
780
00:37:26,083 --> 00:37:28,375
What do you think
about the possibility--
781
00:37:28,459 --> 00:37:32,417
you know, China has three
inactivated vaccines.
782
00:37:32,500 --> 00:37:35,125
In a world where people
work together...
783
00:37:35,209 --> 00:37:36,500
- Right.
784
00:37:36,584 --> 00:37:39,209
- Warp Speed could have said,
"Let's make a Chinese vaccine
785
00:37:39,292 --> 00:37:41,584
one of the candidates
that we're going to evaluate."
786
00:37:41,667 --> 00:37:44,459
- Yeah, you know,
to be honest with you, Jon,
787
00:37:44,542 --> 00:37:46,667
you're gonna have
to ask Moncef that.
788
00:37:46,751 --> 00:37:50,334
I mean, that's the--
you have a history
789
00:37:50,417 --> 00:37:53,125
of asking me about things
that I don't have control over.
790
00:37:53,209 --> 00:37:54,292
- [laughs]
791
00:37:54,375 --> 00:37:57,250
- You've been asking me
these questions for decades.
792
00:37:59,542 --> 00:38:01,959
- In the United States,
the Trump administration's
793
00:38:02,042 --> 00:38:04,959
$10.8 billion operation,
Warp Speed,
794
00:38:05,042 --> 00:38:07,042
accelerated vaccine R&D faster
795
00:38:07,125 --> 00:38:09,667
than many researchers
thought possible.
796
00:38:09,751 --> 00:38:12,751
An equally massive effort
unfolded in China.
797
00:38:18,626 --> 00:38:20,751
But China is not waiting
for the results
798
00:38:20,834 --> 00:38:23,209
before widely using
the vaccines at home.
799
00:38:23,292 --> 00:38:24,709
Hundreds of thousands
of people
800
00:38:24,792 --> 00:38:26,542
have received its vaccines.
801
00:38:26,626 --> 00:38:29,167
- China has really tried
aggressively
802
00:38:29,250 --> 00:38:31,042
to enter this space
in this pandemic
803
00:38:31,125 --> 00:38:33,250
both to reverse the narrative
about itself
804
00:38:33,334 --> 00:38:36,000
in this pandemic,
but also to put itself
805
00:38:36,083 --> 00:38:38,334
as a innovator and a country
806
00:38:38,417 --> 00:38:41,417
that can master
this technology.
807
00:38:41,500 --> 00:38:43,042
- The country
where the pandemic begun
808
00:38:43,125 --> 00:38:45,667
has done a thorough job
suppressing transmissions
809
00:38:45,751 --> 00:38:48,584
by forcing entire cities
to quarantine.
810
00:38:48,667 --> 00:38:51,000
In countries unable
or unwilling to impose
811
00:38:51,083 --> 00:38:52,584
such hardline restrictions,
812
00:38:52,667 --> 00:38:55,209
the pandemic is burning
out of control.
813
00:38:58,042 --> 00:39:00,918
- The United States
leads the world in cases,
814
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,083
followed by India and Brazil,
815
00:39:03,167 --> 00:39:04,500
while the UK and Europe
816
00:39:04,584 --> 00:39:07,292
also report new waves
of mortalities.
817
00:39:07,375 --> 00:39:08,792
With winter weather
pushing people
818
00:39:08,876 --> 00:39:11,167
to socialize indoors,
the virus could spread
819
00:39:11,250 --> 00:39:12,417
even more rapidly.
820
00:39:14,918 --> 00:39:16,709
- Johnson & Johnson's
vaccine trial
821
00:39:16,792 --> 00:39:18,876
just reached phase three
with the largest group
822
00:39:18,959 --> 00:39:20,876
of participants
so far of any trial
823
00:39:20,959 --> 00:39:22,792
at 60,000 participants.
824
00:39:22,876 --> 00:39:24,876
- The study will be run
mainly in the U.S.
825
00:39:24,959 --> 00:39:27,709
but also in South America
in six countries,
826
00:39:27,792 --> 00:39:29,167
as well as South Africa.
827
00:39:30,834 --> 00:39:33,250
- It's a study
of importance level
828
00:39:33,334 --> 00:39:35,959
that cannot even be measured.
829
00:39:36,042 --> 00:39:38,918
- There is an electricity

who are just not doing this
831
00:39:42,334 --> 00:39:44,334
for themselves,
but for the bigger picture.
832
00:39:44,417 --> 00:39:46,959
- J&J has committed
to mass producing
833
00:39:47,042 --> 00:39:50,334
and delivering this vaccine
on a nonprofit basis.
834
00:39:50,417 --> 00:39:54,167
You absolutely are welcome
to emphasize that
835
00:39:54,250 --> 00:39:55,334
with the participants.
836
00:39:55,417 --> 00:39:56,918
- That's certainly something
our participants
837
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,167
always want to talk about
because they're not doing this
838
00:39:59,250 --> 00:40:00,876
for themselves.
- That is public knowledge.
839
00:40:00,959 --> 00:40:02,667
- They're doing it for
the global public health.
840
00:40:02,751 --> 00:40:04,918
I talk to them sometimes,
and I say, you know,
841
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,042
"You are gonna help us
figure out
842
00:40:07,125 --> 00:40:09,542
"what dose we might use
in the vaccine
843
00:40:09,626 --> 00:40:11,542
that might end up going
to a billion people."
844
00:40:11,626 --> 00:40:12,584
Like, just think about that.
845
00:40:12,667 --> 00:40:14,918
Like, you as an individual,
we may never have
846
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,709
this much impact
in our lives again.
847
00:40:16,792 --> 00:40:18,292
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
848
00:40:20,334 --> 00:40:22,334
- We don't have any data yet
from them, of course.
849
00:40:22,417 --> 00:40:23,709
The trials are ongoing,
850
00:40:23,792 --> 00:40:25,334
but we think
a single shot vaccine
851
00:40:25,417 --> 00:40:27,667
is a very promising option.
852
00:40:27,751 --> 00:40:30,375
Just imagine
how much easier it would be
853
00:40:30,459 --> 00:40:34,167
to go to your local doctor
or your local pharmacy,
854
00:40:34,250 --> 00:40:36,542
get a one shot,
and you're done.
855
00:40:37,375 --> 00:40:40,500
That would be
substantially more feasible
856
00:40:40,584 --> 00:40:43,250
for global pandemic control.
857
00:40:45,083 --> 00:40:47,459
