PETER ALEXANDER HAS MORE ON
THAT.
PETER, GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
YOU’RE RIGHT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SCHEDULED TO
DELIVER REMARKS ON THE RACE TO
DEVELOP A VACCINE EVEN AS THAT
TOP GOVERNMENT SCIENTIST IS
CASTING DOUBT ON THE PRESIDENT’S
TIME LINE FOR A VACCINE TO BE
AVAILABLE.
DR. RICK WRIGHT TESTIFYING THAT
HIS WARNINGS ABOUT SUPPLY
SHORTAGES WERE REPEATEDLY
IGNORED AND SAYING IF PROPER
STEPS ARE NOT TAKEN, NOW THE
PANDEMIC WILL ONLY GET WORSE.

OUT TO CONTAIN THE CORONAVIRUS.
>> WITHOUT BETTER PLANNING, 2020
COULD BE THE DARKEST WINTER IN
MODERN HISTORY.
>> HE WAS FORCE OUT AS HEAD OF
THE AGENCY DEVELOPING VACCINE
FOR COVID-19 TECHNOLOGY
LAWMAKERS HE RAISED RED FLAGS
ABOUT THE PANDEMIC MONTHS AGO
ACCUSING PRESIDENT TRUMP AND
SENIOR PHYSICIANS AT THE
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH OF
MINIMIZING THE OUTBREAK IN
JANUARY AND FEBRUARY.
>> BEST ADVICE NOT CONVEYED.
>> BRIGHT ALSO SAID THE
ADMINISTRATION BRUSHED OFF EARLY
WARNINGS FROM THE TOP
MANUFACTURER OF MEDICAL MASKS.
>> I’LL NEVER FORGET THE E-MAILS
I RECEIVED INDICATING MASK
SUPPLIER, N95 MASK SUPPLIER WAS
COMPLETELY DECIMATED.
HE SAID WE’RE IN DEEP [ BLEEP ].
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP REPEATED
PREDICTED A VACCINE COULD BE
READY BY THE END OF THIS YEAR, A
TIME LINE BRIGHT DISPUTES.
>> I STILL THINK 12 TO 18 MONTHS
IS AN AGGRESSIVE SCHEDULE, AND I
THINK IT’S GOING TO TAKE LONGER
THAN THAT TO DO SO.
>> AS BRIGHT WAS TESTIFYING, THE
PRESIDENT PERSONALLY ATTACKED
HIM.
>> HE’S NOTHING MORE THAN A
REALLY DISGRUNTLED, UNHAPPY
PERSON.
>> BRIGHT’S BOSS, HHS SECRETARY
ALEX AZAR DISMISSING HIS

CRITICISM HE RECEIVED FOR NOT
WEIGHING A MASK IN PUBLIC.
TELLING "USA TODAY" I ALWAYS
WEAR A MASK WHEN I’M WITH THE

REASONS THE PRESIDENT DOES NOT
WEAR ONE.
IVANKA TRUMP TODAY IS TOUTING A
NEW FOOD DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM TO

GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE A PLAN
TO DISTRIBUTE IT.
HE SAYS THE ADMINISTRATION NEEDS
TO FORM A STRATEGY NOW TO MAKE
SURE A VACCINE CAN BE FAIRLY
ADMINISTERED TO TENS OF MILLIONS
OF AMERICANS.
CRAIG AND SAVANNAH.
>> ALL RIGHT.
PETER, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NOW TO THAT NEW HEALTH ALERT
THAT WAS ISSUED BY THE CDC ABOUT
THE MYSTERY ILLNESS IN CHILDREN
BELIEVED TO BE LINKED TO THE
CORONAVIRUS.
THAT ADVISORY WENT TO DOCTORS
NATIONWIDE TO HELP THEM IDENTIFY
ITS SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS.
NBC’S KRISTEN DAHLGREN HAS BEEN
FOLLOWING THIS STORY CLOSELY ALL
WEEK.
KRISTEN, GOOD MORNING.
>> GOOD MORNING, SAVANNAH.
SO THIS MORNING DOCTORS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY SHOULD HAVE THIS
ALERT IN HAND.
IT’S IMPORTANT NOT JUST SO THEY
CAN IDENTIFY THIS BUT ALSO SO
THAT THEY CAN TRACK IT AND BEGIN
TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS
ILLNESS.
THIS MORNING THE CDC GIVING
DOCTORS A CRITICAL CHECKLIST.
SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR A SYNDROME
IDENTIFIED IN A GROWING NUMBER
OF CHILDREN OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL WEEKS.
FEVER, INFLAMMATION, AT LEAST
TWO ORGANS IMPACTED AND A
POSITIVE TEST FOR COVID-19,
ANTIBODIES OR COVID EXPOSURE
BEFORE THE ON SET OF SYMPTOMS,
SYMPTOMS WHICH ARE DESCRIBED AS
SIMILAR TO KAWASAKI DISEASE
WHICH INCLUDES RASH, RED EYES OR
TONGUE AND ABDOMINAL PAIN.
IT’S RARE BUT POTENTIALLY
DEADLY.
THREE CHILDREN AGES FIVE, SEVEN
AND 18 HAVE DIED.
CDC SAID IT’S NOT CLEAR IF
ADULTS CAN HAVE THE SAME
RESPONSE WEEKS AFTER A COVID
INFECTION.
BUT OVER 135 CASES IN CHILDREN
HAVE NOW BEEN REPORTED OVER AT
LEAST 19 STATES IN WASHINGTON,
D.C.
THE VAST MAJORITY IN NEW YORK
WHERE CORONAVIRUS CASES PEAKED
ABOUT SIX WEEKS AGO.
DR. JEFFREY BURNS HAS BEEN
STUDYING THE SYNDROME WITH MORE
THAN 1,000 DOCTORS.
>> WE HAVEN’T YET BEEN ABLE TO
ESTABLISH WHAT THE DIRECT LINK
IS.
>> HE SAYS WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE
MULTISYSTEM INFLAMMATORY SYSTEM
FOUR TO SIX WEEKS AFTER
CORONAVIRUS SPIKES IN A GIVEN
COMMUNITY.
>> IT’S NOT LIKE COVID-19, THE
CHILDREN ARE NOT ACTIVELY
INFECTED WITH THE VIRUS.
THAT’S NOT WHAT WE BELIEVE THIS
IS.
IT’S NOT LIKE COVID-19 IN THE
SENSE THAT WE’RE STILL WAITING
TREATMENT TO STUDY.
>> 4-YEAR-OLD AMELIA TESTED
NEGATIVE FOR COVID TWICE.
BUT WHEN SHE WAS RUSHED TO THE
HOSPITAL IN SEVERE PAIN, SHE
FINALLY TESTED POSITIVE FOR
COVID ANTIBODIES.
>> WE ALL HAVE THEM, TOO, MY
3-YEAR-OLD, MYSELF AND MY
HUSBAND.
>> AMELIA ENDED UP ON A
VENTILATOR BUT RESPONDED WELL TO
TREATMENT.
>> WE HAVE TREATMENT TO GIVE
CHILDREN WITH INFLAMMATORY
SYMPTOMS IF THEY DEVELOP THIS
LIFE THREATENING COMPLICATION.
>> AFTER 16 DAYS IN THE
HOSPITAL, YESTERDAY AMELIA GOT
TO GO HOME.
AMELIA WILL BE HOME FOR HER
FIFTH BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK SO SHE
HAS A LOT TO CELEBRATE.
THE TAKEAWAY FOR PARENTS IS THIS
IS NOT SUBTLE.
YOU WILL KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG
WITH YOUR CHILD.
IF YOU SEE THOSE SYMPTOMS, YOU
NEED TO GET HELP SUBPOENAS
POSSIBLE.
>> KRISTEN DAHLGREN AND HAPPY
BIRTHDAY TO AMELIA AS WELL.
KRISTEN, THANK YOU.
WE HAVE SOME ENCOURAGING NEWS ON
THE RACE FOR A VACCINE.
THERE’S AN EXPERIMENTAL
TREATMENT BEING TESTED BY STEIN
SCIENTISTS AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY
SHOWING NEW PROGRESS.
KEIR SIMMONS IN LONDON WITH THAT
PART OF THE STORY.
KEIR, GOOD MORNING.
>> HEY, CRAIG, GOOD MORNING.
A STUNNING WARNING FROM AN
EXECUTIVE AT THE HEALTH
ORGANIZATION IS REVERBERATING
WARNING THE CORONAVIRUS MAY
NEVER GO AWAY.
THAT’S WHY THIS POSITIVE NEWS
FROM THIS VACCINE TEAM HERE IN
THE UK WHILST ANOTHER SMALL
STEP, IS A BIG DEAL.
THIS MORNING FRESH HOPE FOR A
VACCINE BREAKTHROUGH.
A SINGLE DOSE GIVEN TO SIX
RHESUS MACAQUE AMONGST, CLOSE TO
HUMANS, WERE SAID TO HAVE
ANTIBODIES 14 DAYS AFTER
VACCINATION.
THE LAB THAT CARRIED OUT THE
TRIAL RELEASING THIS NEW REPORT
SAYING AFTER THE TEST, THE
VACCINE APPEARED TO HAVE
PREVENTED PNEUMONIA AND OTHER
LONG PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH
CORONAVIRUS.
AND THE REPORT SAYS NO SIGN OF
DANGEROUS SIDE EFFECTS, NO
EVIDENCE OF IMMUNE AND HEART
DISEASE.
NOW SCIENTISTS FROM OXFORD
UNIVERSITY SAY THE EARLY
INDICATIONS FROM HUMAN TRIALS
COULD COME IN JUNE.
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY
BEEN INJECTED WITH A POSSIBLE
VACCINE.
>> I’M DOING THE TINIEST LITTLE
BIT I CAN.
>> THE SCIENTIST BEHIND THE
RESEARCH TELLING US THEY ARE
ABLE TO MOVE FAST BECAUSE THEIR
VACCINE HAS BEEN IN DEVELOPMENT
FOR DECADES.
THE VACCINE UPDATED FOR TODAY’S
CORONAVIRUS.
>> WE’RE USING A VACCINE TYPE
THAT HAS BEEN IN THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE BEFORE.
>> Reporter: THERE’S NO
GUARANTEE IT WILL ULTIMATELY
PROVE TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
OVER 100 VACCINES IN DEVELOPMENT
AROUND THE WORLD.
ALREADY ATTENTION IS TURNING TO
HOW TO PRODUCE ENOUGH.
>> HOW MANY DOSES OF VACCINE?
>> WE ARE AIMING TO MAKE NOT
MILLIONS, PROBABLY NOT TENS OF
MILLIONS BUT IDEALLY HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOSES OF THIS
VACCINE.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS
REPEATEDLY SAID HE THINKS WE
WILL HAVE A VACCINE BY THE END
OF THE YEAR DESPITE RESERVATIONS
FROM SOME SCIENTISTS ON HIS
CORONAVIRUS TEAM.
ON THURSDAY HE WEN A STEP
FURTHER TALKING TIME LINE AND
DISTRIBUTION.
>> I THINK WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A
VACCINE BY THE END OF THE YEAR.
I THINK DISTRIBUTION WILL TAKE
PLACE ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY
BECAUSE WE’VE GEARED UP THE
MILITARY.
>> ONE ISSUE THAT MAY DELAY THE
TRIAL AND IT IS FASCINATING,
BECAUSE OF THE LOCKDOWN IN
PLACES LIKE HERE IN THE UK,
THERE IS LESS CORONAVIRUS,
SAVANNAH.
SO THAT MEANS IT TAKES LONGER,
POTENTIALLY, FOR PEOPLE TO
BECOME INFECTED.
OF COURSE, YOU CANNOT SIMPLY
DELIBERATELY INFECT PEOPLE.
ALL THE SAME, SAVANNAH, THEY ARE
PLANNING TO RAMP UP
MANUFACTURING OF THESE VACCINES
EVEN BEFORE THE POSITIVE RESULTS
JUST SO THEY ARE READY,
SAVANNAH.
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
GOOD TO GET A LITTLE GOOD NEWS
THIS MORNING.
KEIR, THANK YOU.
>>> WE HAVE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
AHMAUD ARBERY CASE IN GEORGIA TO
TELL YOU ABOUT.
TODAY THE FATHER AND SON CHARGED
WITH THE MURDER ARE ARGUING
THERE’S MORE TO THE STORY THAN
PEOPLE KNOW.
JOINING US WITH ATLANTA WITH THE
LATEST ON THIS.
BLAYNE, GOOD MORNING.
>> Reporter: SAVANNAH, GOOD
MORNING TO YOU.
THE TWO ATTORNEYS SAY THEY HAVE
SPOKEN WITH THEIR CLIENT AND THE
PROSECUTOR.
THEY KNOW THE EMOTIONS AROUND
THE CASE ARE VERY HIGH.
THEY WOULDN’T GIVE DETAILS ABOUT
THE DEFENSE BUT PROMISED MORE
INFORMATION WOULD COME OUT IN
COURT.
THIS MORNING TONIGHT FOR TRAVIS
McMICHAELS SAY THEY ARE LEARNING
MORE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE
AND AFTER THE VIDEO.
>> ALL OF THE FACTS WILL COME
OUT.
THAT’S THE PURPOSE OF A TRIAL.
>> TRAVIS AND HIS FATHER ARE
BOTH IN JAIL CHARGED WITH
MURDER.
FATHER AND SON HAVE SEPARATE
LEGAL TEAMS.
ATTORNEYS FOR SENIOR McMICHAELS
SAY THE FULL STORY WILL TELL THE
TRUST ABOUT THIS CASE.
VIDEO OF THAT FEBRUARY SHOOTING
HAS SPARKED NATIONWIDE OUTRAGE.
ARBERY FAMILY SAID THE
25-YEAR-OLD WAS JUST OUT FOR A
JOG UNARMED.
ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT,
GREGORY McMICHAEL TOLD POLICE HE
AND TRAVIS GRABBED THEIR GUNS
AND FOLLOWED ARBERY BECAUSE THEY
THOUGHT HE WAS A BURGLARY
SUSPECT.
McMICHAEL TOLD POLICE TRAVIS
FIRED WHEN ARBERY VIOLENTLY
ATTACKED AND THE TWO STARTED
FIGHTING OVER THE SHOTGUN.
>> TRAVIS HAS A PRESUMPTION OF
INNOCENCE.
THAT PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE
FOLLOWS HIM FROM NOW THROUGHOUT
THE COURSE OF THIS TRIAL UNTIL
AND UNLESS A JURY DECIDES HE IS NOT INNOCENT.
NOT INNOCENT.
>> WE WISH TRAVIS HAD REPORTED
THAT INNOCENCE ON ARBERY WITHOUT
A TRIAL, WITHOUT HAVING
COMMITTED A CRIME.
>> NOW THEY WANT TO FIND THE
PERSON WHO WROTE THE UNANIMOUS
HANDWRITTEN NOTE AT THE
MEMORIAL.
IT READS, AHMAUD, I’M SO SORRY.
I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED HIM.
>> THIS IS NOT A PERSON WHO
FEELS BAD ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN
GENERAL.
THIS IS A PERSON WHO FELT LIKE
THEY HAD SOME SORT OF
FOREKNOWLEDGE ABOUT WHAT WAS
GOING ON.
>> INVESTIGATORS SAY THEY KNOW
WHO WROTE THE NOTE AND THAT
PERSON IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE
INVESTIGATION IN ANY WAY AND WAS
JUST EXPRESSING THEIR
CONDOLENCES.
TODAY WE WILL ALSO HEAR FROM THE
ATTORNEY FOR GREGORY McMICHAEL
IN A SEPARATE NEWS CONFERENCE.
BOTH LEGAL TEAMS SAY THEY HOPE
TO HAVE THEIR CLIENTS IN COURT
IN THREE WEEKS WHERE THEY WILL
REQUEST THEY ARE RELEASED ON
BOND.
SAVANNAH.
>> BLAYNE ALEXANDER, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.
18 MINUTES AFTER THE HOUR,
CRAIG, WE’LL SEND IT TO YOU.
