RED REPUBLICAN-LED STATES ALSO
IN DENSELY POPULATED CITIES,
SPECIFICALLY POORER COMMUNITIES
WITH LOW VACCINE ACCESS.
MY NEXT GUEST IS FIGHTING DAY BY
DAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT
DOESNT CONTINUE. JOINING ME NOW IS DR. STANFORD,
JOINING ME NOW IS DR. STANFORD,
A PEDIATRIC AND -- SO FAR HER
NON-PROFIT HAS ADMINISTERED MORE
THAN 25,000 VACCINE DOSES IN THE
PHILADELPHIA AREA.
WE HAVE STAYED CLOSE TOGETHER
THE LAST YEAR.
FIRST AN ISSUE OF GETTING PEOPLE
TESTED.
NOW ITS GETTING PEOPLE
VACCINES.
WHEN WE FISHES TALKED ABOUT
VACCINE RESISTANCE, YOU SAID,
LOOK, UNTIL WE -- ALL THE
VACCINES WE CAN GET, GET IF OUT
AS MUCH AS WE CAN GET IT.
THEN DEAL WITH IT.
LETS TAKE ABOUT THE RACIAL
BREAKDOWN OF FULLY VACCINATED
AMERICANS RIGHT NOW.
ITS STILL LOW IN SOME
COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING THE BLACK
COMMUNITIES.
AND NOW WERE AT A POINT WE HAVE
ENOUGH VACCINE, WHAT DO WE DO TO
GET MORE PEOPLE VACCINATED.
>> SO OBVIOUSLY THANKS FOR
HAVING ME, ALI.
I HAVE TO MENTION ONE THING.
WE VACCINATED OVER 50,000
PEOPLE.
>> WOW!
>> YES, WE HAVE TESTED OVER
25,000.
AND WE ARE APPROACHING 1,000
WITH OUR OWN VACCINATION.
>> AMAZING.
>> TO YOUR QUESTION, ITS ALL
THE MASS VACCINATION SITES, THE
FEAR THAT WAS DRIVING A LOT, THE
FACT WE DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH
VACCINE INITIALLY.
THOSE DAYS ARE OVER.
YOU HAVE TO BE IN THOSE POCKETS
WHERE YOU KNOW THE VACCINATION
RATES ARE LOW.
WE KNOW THIS INFORMATION.
WE KNOW WHERE THE ZIP CODES ARE.
YOU HAVE TO BE OUT THERE
CANVASSING, LIKE MY TEAM WAS
DOING THURSDAY.
WE WERE IN K AND A, A HIGH
OPIOID EPIDEMIC CARRIER, PEOPLE
ARE HOUSELESS, ON THE STREETS,
USING.
WE WENT BUSINESS TO BUSINESS,
DOOR TO DOOR AND ASKED PEOPLE WE
HAD VACCINE READY IN THE VAN.
WE VACCINATED THEM.
AND SO THE IDEA OF JUST HAVING A
MASS SITE OR URGENT CARE CENTER
AND PEOPLE WERE OPEN SO COME SEE
US, THATS DONE.
>> SO LETS TALK ABOUT ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT YOU WORKED
REALLY HARD AT DOING IS CREATING
EASE AND ACCESS, BOTH INITIALLY
FOR TESTING AND THEN FOR
VACCINES.
THERE IS ALSO ACTUAL VACCINE
HESITANCY.
I WAS TALKING TO THE GOVERNOR OF
OHIO A FEW WEEKS AGO WHERE THEY
HAVE THE LOTTERY.
HE SAID, LOOK, WERE NOT HITTING
ACTUAL PEOPLE HESS TAN OR
RESISTANT TO THE VACCINE WITH
THE LOTTERIES.
WERE GETTING THE PEOPLE FINE I
THOUGHT I WANE GETTING IT.
NOW ITS NOT GOING AWAY.
ILL GET IF.
HOW IS IT WORKING IN YOUR
COMMUNITY.
PEOPLE TAKING IT BECAUSE YOU
SAID, PEOPLE ACTUALLY RESIST
ZBLNT FOR THOSE RESISTANT, YOU
STILL HAVE TO MEET THEM
ONE-ON-ONE.
THERE IS NO MAGIC SOLUTION.
THERE IS NO MASS AD CAMPAIGN.
THE BEST CAMPAIGNS WE HAVE ARE
THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT
ARE SAYING, LISTEN, I GOT
VACCINATED.
IT WASNT BAD.
I WAS OKAY.
AND I FEEL SAFER.
FOR OTHER PEOPLE NOW WHO ARE
ENJOYING NOT WEARING A MASK,
YOURE ENJOYING THAT BECAUSE THE
MAJORITY OF US HAVE BEEN
VACCINATED.
AND ALSO REMINDING THEM THAT THE CHILDREN THAT ARE 11 YEARS OLD
CHILDREN THAT ARE 11 YEARS OLD
AND UNDER, THE IMMUNOCOMPROMISE,
THE FRANCE COMPLAINT PATIENTS,
WE KNOW ITS NOT AS EFFICACIOUS
FOR THEM.
WELL HAVE TWO AMERICAS.
ITS IN THE IN THE COMMUNITY.
I HEARD THE WHITE HOUSE IS
PUTTING OUT SURGE TEAMS AND
1,000 COUNTIES ACROSS THE UNITED
STATES WHERE THE RATES ARE LOW.
AND THE UPTICK IS STARTING TO
HAPPEN.
AND THATS WHAT IT IS.
ITS PARTNERING WITH LOCAL AND
COMMUNITY AGENCIES THAT HAVE
BEEN ON THE GROUND DOING IT AND
ALLOW THEM TO BE YOUR MESSENGER.
BECAUSE EVERYONE IS EDUCATED.
THEY KNOW.
YOU CANT PREACH TO THE CHOIR AT
THIS POINT.
THEY KNOW.
IT HAS TO CHANGE AND ITS MORE
TIME CONSUMING ACTUALLY.
BUT NECESSARY IF WE WANT TO
CONTINUE THE FREEDOMS WE HAVE
RIGHT NOW INTO THE FALL.
>> ELLA THANKS FOR JOINING US
AND EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING.
YOUVE BEEN RECOGNIZED IN
ANOTHER.
YOU ARE A RECIPIENT OF THE
GEORGE W. BUSH FOR THE POINTS OF
LIGHT AWARD. AND THIS WEEKEND YOU AND THE
AND THIS WEEKEND YOU AND THE
BLACK DOCTORS CONSORTIUM, PHILLY
CONSORT NUMBER WILL BE PRESENTED
