189

That's why I just thought
of Warp Speed,
193
00:09:56.626 --> 00:10:00.209
was just finding ways
that we could remove dead space
194
00:10:00.292 --> 00:10:02.167
from the vaccine
development process
195

the vaccine manufacturers more.

in the FDA, obviously,

- 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,
203

overnight.

It ain't gonna happen

that this is just not possible.

- 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

00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:42.250

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
