Not long after Pfizer said its vaccine has been 90 percent effective at preventing Covid-19 in trials, Moderna’s latest vaccine trial shows that its vaccine is about 95 percent effective against Covid-19 and successful at limiting the effects of the virus. The second person to ever get the vaccine joins MSNBC’s Ari Melber in a special interview to discuss his experience and the jump in cases across the nation as Trump’s administration refuses to take definitive action against the virus. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 11/16/2020.

New: One Of The First Vaccine Recipients On Signs Of Covid-19 Vaccine In 2021
AWESOME THANK GOD
This is exciting and scary at the same time.
Not that it’ll affect everyone the same, but we’ll wait and see how it works for him.
@Annie there’s a 90+% success rate. Do some reading moron
@Preston Ramseyer yeah, 90% – so far. No need for the hostility. We won’t know until it’s been released to the public and some time has passed. Hopefully you’re right, and it’s even better than predicted.
@Victor Mamlin thk u for ur educated retort.some ppl on yt can be unnecessarily annoying &rude likePreston
Just shoot it in my veins !!!! now !!!!
Gates the vax maker said “we inject these GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS right into the children’s veins” This vax reprograms DNA. You will be a GMO genetically modified thank to Bill Gates!
Trial wise, he’s very articulate concerning this virus and the issues at hand concerning it.
He’s a good guy, too.
@Valerie Galvan he may be to u…thing is, do pathologist volunteer for trial studies?
@Antonio Ellis ffs
Let’s talk. The US has passed a grim milestone – nearing 200,000 COVID-19 infections a day. For many months some Americans have resisted wearing protective masks because they, “Take away freedom.” Is this really about taking away freedoms?
We are a county founded on the compassionate rule of law. We have seatbelt laws and second-hand smoke laws. These are just two small examples of laws enacted to protect us when we cannot protect ourselves and each other. When functioning properly our representatives in government have the ability, as defined by constitutions, charters, etc., to do those things we cannot do all by ourselves. This may include building highways, providing K-12 education and let’s not forget protecting us from deadly forest fires, hurricanes and our national defense. Governors, legislators and judges, in addition to the media, are working as best as they can, as quickly as they can and with the best available public health information to keep all of us safe; individually we do not have the collective expertise, human and financial resources to manage these challenges. If they need to do this legally by decree, executive order or other provisions allowed them during emergencies then they are doing their jobs.
Although most people are doing the best they can to save lives there are some powerful few who are literally killing people. Take Trump and his super spreader events. A Stanford University study found his rallies have killed 700 people and infected 30,000. Columbia University published a study recently on how 130,000-210,000 lives could have been saved if the Trump administration and his devotees had not politicized science a pandemic that has infected over 53 million and killed 1,300,000 world-wide – so far. Approximately 40% of the infected are asymptomatic and never know they may be spreading COVID according to the CDC.
There is good news. The US government may start distributing a vaccine by the end of the year. It will go to the most vulnerable populations first including first responders. It does take weeks after the first inoculation for the vaccine to take full effect and more than one booster shot may be necessary. No one knows the duration of immunity for anyone who has recovered from COVID or from any particular vaccine. Pfizer vaccine showed 90% immunity but only for seven days. More needs to be understood. Perhaps the singular greatest problem with regard to vaccines is that too many people have been dissuaded from even getting vaccinated at all. If that is the case, it will prolong moving forward precipitously. It is possible we may be wearing masks well through 2021.
Our best line of defense remains masks, social distancing, etc. By taking these basic precautions the University of Washington projects we can save over 130,000 lives by March 2021. Remember, this virus is about 8X deadlier than the 2019 flu and is the third leading cause of death in the US only behind heart disease and cancer. Please fact-check this information yourself. Facing the truth is empowering, freeing. The sooner the more people accept reality, the sooner we can recover together as a country – grieve those we have loved and lost – and collectively address other urgent concerns.
One last thing – we are fortunate. Do the people resisting wearing a mask really have no understanding of what is true loss of your freedoms? Have we learned nothing from history: slavery, disenfranchisement, imprisonment in jails, ghettos and concentration camps, inscription into armies, forced marriage, starvation… Over 85,000 children in Yemen have died since 2018 directly because of US foreign policy. Currently, millions more Yemen children, women and men face starvation but we can still save them by providing immediate emergency assistance with our International allies. We just have to care enough about their freedom, their literal right to life. I’d like to believe we are capable of understanding false equivalences of facial coverings and the right to life, freedom from extreme suffering. This may not be what we have expected but it is nothing new, not really. And we each have superpowers – our infinite capacity for creative adaptation and a little thing called love. – Please feel free to share this post. Take care, stay safe out there and thank you.
Wait, wait, wait…WHAT “milestone” have we *passed?*
You said: _”The US has passed a grim milestone…”_
(If you can’t get your initial point right, I’m not interested in reading the rest of your _Manifesto,_ Ted)
An excellent Man !!
Hopefully this guy will be ok after being administered the vaccine
😂😂😂 he didn’t get a vaccine, paid actor
He wore his lucky shirt the day he took the vaccine and on the day of this interview?
that is funny.
He’s actually changing DNA wow it works alright
So what vaccine did Trump have then?
Isn’t it hilarious how people previously claimed that if Biden won the (s)election that this would all just disappear? (Not that he won, although the Associated Press or mainstream media has already given him the crown.) It will never go away for as long as the ruling class can use it to amass power over others. That should be obvious by now.
GIVES INSTRUCTIONS TO REPROGRAM YOUR DNA! SYNTHETIC RNA IS INJECTED TO REPROGRAM YOUR DNA. REMEMBER THAT WHEN THEY TRY TO DENY THAT IT ALTERS DNA.
There are no side effects.
They said so.
🙄👌
0 liability. 0 cuz who knows what the aftereffects will be? NO ONE!
Why didn’t you ask him about side effects? That ‘s what most people are afraid of. Is it going to help one thing and create another problem later?
“It reprograms your DNA 🧬 “no thank you mutants , keep your gmo vaccine to yourself, now people can be GMO ?
💀#maskitorcasket💀
Keep the people scared. Keep the people controlled.
I hope the vaccine work and we have are life back 😔😔😔😔😔
Im wondering,WHYYYY Twitter deleted his inaccurate covid tweets but not his lying election win tweets??🤔🤔
