Biden’s Transition & Vaccine Slowdown

President Joe Biden is asking government agencies to take immediate inventory and jump to the front of the private sector assembly lines with the Defense Production Act to combat Covid-19. Kayla Tausche joins Shep Smith to report. David Gakstatter is an ICU travel nurse. He is concerned on the state of the hospitals in the U.S. as deaths continue to rise. Dr. Mark McClellan, former FDA commissioner, joins Shep Smith to discuss vaccine supply and the results of the J&J Johnson vaccine trial. The vaccine could be approved sometime next month. CNBC’s Meg Tirrell reports on a new study that shows an antibody drug from Eli Lilly reduces the Covid risk in nursing homes. The study was funded by Lilly. Plus, Mayor of New York City Bill de Blasio says at least 23,000 vaccination appointments will have to be rescheduled due to the limited supply. Blasio says the city will run out of vaccines by the end of this week.
