DETAILS OF THE BAR REOPENING %
AND BACK TO THE SCHOOL IN %
FLORIDA, THANK YOU SO MUCH. %
>> Reporter: SHARE.
>>> CORONAVIRUS CASES ARE ON %
THE RISE IN AT LEAST 11 STATES.
DR. FAUCI:THE DATA DISTURBING.
NESTLE, THOUGH, WE ARE SEEING %
IMPROVEMENT. %
THAT HE WAS NOT AVERAGING ABOUT
HALF AS MANY NEW CASES TODAY AS
IT WAS IN JULY. %
WE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT MORE
THAN 34,000 NEW CASES EVERY %
DAY. %
DR. RICHARD JOINS ME NOW. %
HE IS THE FORMER ACTING %
DIRECTOR OF THE CDC. %
HE IS THE CURRENT CEO OF THE
JOHNSON FOUNDATION.
IT IS ALWAYS WONDERFUL TO HAVE
THE ON.
11 STATES REPORTING AN INCREASE
IN CASES AS WE HEAD INTO THE %
FALL. %
IS THIS WHAT THE START OF THE %
SECOND WAVE LOOKS LIKE BUT I %
WOULD NOT CALL IT A SECOND WAVE?
I THINK WHAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE
ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ALISON, IS %
THAT AS THINGS CHANGE, AS %
STUDENTS GO BACK TO SCHOOL, AS %
COLLEGES STUDENTS COME BACK %
INTO TOWN, AS DIFFERENT PARTS %
OF THE ECONOMY GET UP AND %
RUNNING, WE ARE GOING TO SEE %
INCREASES IN CASES. %
YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT EACH %
PARTICULAR LOCATION ON AND SAY,
OKAY, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
WHAT IS DRIVING THIS INCREASE? %
AS CAROL WAS TELLING US, THEY %
ARE TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS. %
THERE WILL BE SOME BARS. %
IT IS GOING TO BE REALLY HARD %
TO TRACK THESE DONE.
ARE THEY ABLE TO DO IT IN A WAY
THAT DOES NOT LEAD TO THAT %
INCREASE AND SPREAD WITHIN %
THEIR COMMUNITY %
>> WE’RE SEEING THAT AROUND THE
COUNTRY. %
AS THINGS ARE CHANGING, WE’RE %
GOING TO SEE NUMBERS GO UP THE %
USE OF THE TERM WAVES GIVES A %
SENSE THAT EVERYTHING IS %
HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME
WHERE IT IS ROLLING ACROSS THE %
COUNTRY. %
I DON’T THINK THAT IS HOW IT IS
GOING TO PLAY OUT THIS FALL. %
>> HOW ABOUT VACCINES? %
A BIG ISSUE OF CONCERN FOR SOME
PEOPLE BUT THE CEO OF PFIZER %
SAYS THEY WILL LEARN IF THEIR
PARTICULAR ACCENT WORKS. %
IF IT DOES, WHAT DOES THE %
VACCINE TIME LINE LOOK LIKE? %
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? %
WHAT MIGHT THE AVERAGE PERSON %
BE ABLE TO GET ONE? %
>> YOU KNOW, WHAT OF THE %
POSITIVE SIGNS OF THE VACCINE
DEVELOPMENT IS THE FEDERAL %
GOVERNMENT HAS PAID FOR THAT %
MANUFACTURING OF A LOT OF %
VACCINES, EVEN BEFORE THE %
TRIALS ARE DONE. %
SO IF TRIALS ARE DONE, AND IF %
VACCINE IS SHOWN TO BE SAFE AND
EFFECTIVE, AND THE FOOD AND %
DRUG ADMINISTRATION IS ALLOWED %
TO DO THE WORK AND ASSESS %
WHETHER THAT IS THE CASE IN THE
CITY SEEKING TO THEIR WORK, IT %
IS POSSIBLE THAT THERE IS A %
VACCINE. %
BUT THE BIG IF IN WITH THE %
PFIZER EXECUTIVE SAID, AT THIS %
POINT, WE DON’T HAVE ANY OF %
THAT EVIDENCE BECAUSE THE %
TRIALS ARE STILL GOING ON. %
SO I THINK IT IS REALLY %
IMPORTANT THAT THEY KEEP USING %
THE WORD IF. %
IF THERE’S A VACCINE. %
BUT AND WE REALLY FOCUS OUR %
EFFORTS ON WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO
CONTROL THIS IN COMMITTEES %
WITHOUT A VACCINE BECAUSE THE %
LIKELIHOOD THAT A VACCINE IS %
GOING TO PLAY A BIG ROLE HIS %
FAULT THAT THIS WINTER, I THINK
IT IS EXCEEDINGLY LOW. %
>> DR. BESSER, REPORTING THAT %
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SUMMA %
OFFICIALS HAVE THE RIGHT TO %
REVIEW AND CHANGE CDC REPORTS. %
GIVEN YOUR EXPENSE WITH THE %
CDC, IS THIS UNUSUAL? AND HOW %
CONCERNING IS THIS TO YOU? %
IT IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL.
YOU KNOW, I STARTED MY CAREER %
AT THE CDC BACK IN 1991. %
AND OVER THE COURSE OF MY 13 %
YEARS THERE, I WAS THE CO-%
AUTHOR OF MANY OF THOSE %
REPORTS. %
AND, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE SECTOR
SUN. %
THERE WAS NO HELICAL DIFFERENCE
IN TERMS OF WHAT WENT INTO
THOSE REPORTS.
SO THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF WHAT
WAS COMING UP. %
THERE WAS A CLEAR LINE DRAWN.
AND SCIENTISTS WERE ALLOWED TO %
DO THEIR WORK.
THIS DOCUMENT, THIS JOURNAL IS %
CALLED THE MMWR.
NOT A VERY CATCHY TITLE BUT IT %
TOTAL THAT RESONATES WITH THE %
PUBLIC HEALTH COMMITTEE AND %
THERE’S A BELIEF ACROSS THE %
NATION AND PUBLIC HEALTH %
PROVIDERS THAT THE INFORMATION %
IN THE MMWR IS THE BEST PUBLIC
HEALTH SCIENCE AVAILABLE. %
ANYTHING THAT COULD CAST DOUBT %
ON THAT, IS VERY, VERY %
WORRISOME.
>> WHAT DO YOU SAY TO AMERICANS
WHO WHETHER, CAN AND SHOULD %
THEY TRUST THE DATA COMING OUT %
OF THE CDC?
>> Reporter: WELL, YOU KNOW, %
TIME AND TIME AGAIN, DURING THE
PANDEMIC WE HAVE SEEN THE %
INSTANCES WHERE THERE HAS BEEN %
LITTLE INTERFERENCE BUT THAT %
WORRIES ME GREATLY. %
WE NEED TO SEE A CHANGE, %
WHETHER IT IS A HARD LINE BUT %
IN THE SAND THAT SAYS, WELL, %
NOTHING COMING OUT OF THE CDC %
WILL BE SUBJECT TO POLITICAL %
INTERFERENCE. %
WITHOUT THAT, AS WE GO INTO THE
FALL, RECOMMENDATIONS COMING %
OUT OF THE CDC OUT OF THE
VACCINE WILL BE SUSPECT. %
THAT WOULD BE AN ABSOLUTE
DISASTER. %
I DON’T AS A LEADING PUBLIC %
HEALTH OFFICIAL WAS SAYING,
VACCINES DON’T SAVE LIVES. %
IT IS VACCINATIONS. %
WE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT IF %
THERE’S A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE %
VACCINE, EVERYONE WANTS TO GET %
IT BUT THAT IS THE ENTIRE %
COMMUNITY. %
MAKING SURE THAT COMMITTEES OF %
COLOR ARE WHICH OUT TO THE %
AHEAD OF TIME SO THAT -- IF WE %
DON’T DO THOSE THINGS, WE COULD
HAVE A VACCINE THAT IS NOT ABLE
TO HAVE THE IMPACT WE WANT %
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO
