INCREASED OCCUPATIONAL RISK INDIVIDUALS THAT INCREASE RISK IN WHO ARE IN SETTINGS WHERE
[00:05:32]
PEOPLE ARE LIVING OR WORKING CLASS CONTACT AND OTHER HEALTH H RISK MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHAT ARE THOSE MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND HOW WERE THEY SELECTED? YOU HAVE THE LIST THERE OF MEDICAL CONDITIONS. THESE ARE CONDITIONS FOR WHICH WE HAVE STRONG EVIDENCE OF INCREASED RISK OF DISEASE. SO SOME THINGS MIGHT NOT BE OBVIOUS TO YOU THAT THAT THERE MIGHT BE. FOR EXAMPLE, I'M JUST GOING TO PULL SOMETHING OUT OF THE AIR.PEOPLE WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, ARE THEY AT INCREASED RISK FOR SEVERE DISEASE? WELL, NOT THAT'S NOT WHAT THE DATA SHOWS.
THERE AREN'T STUDIES THAT SHOW THAT. SO THAT BY ITSELF WOULD NOT BE .
WE NEED CLEAR DEFINITIONS WHO ARE THESE ENTITIES? SO THIS IS SOMETHING WHERE SOMEONE MUST BE IN PERSON AT THEIR PLACE OF WORK. SO OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE WHO'S TELEWORKING OR IN THEIR BACK OFFICE WHERE THEY'RE NOT EXPOSED TO OTHER PEOPLE, THEY WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AT INCREASED OCCUPATIONAL RISK. ALSO PERFORMING A JOB IN WHICH THE INDIVIDUALS AT INCREASED EXPOSURE BECAUSE THEY ARE CLOSE CONTACT FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES AT A TIME WITH 4 F1 SETS IN HOMELESS SHELTERS, COMMUNITY TRAINING HOMES.
IT'S ALSO STATE AND LOCAL CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES STAFF AND THEY'RE THE INMATES FEDERAL FACILITIES ARE VACCINATED UNDER A DIFFERENT SYSTEM THAT ALSO INCLUDES CORRECTIONAL AND IMMIGRATION DETENTION INMATES MIGRANT FARM WORKERS WHO MAY LIVE IN SHARED HOUSING BE
RELIANT ON SHARED TRANSPORTATION. >> AND PHASE ONE SEE WE ESTIMATE WILL BEGIN AROUND MID APRIL 4 F1 . DEATH DOES CORRELATE CLOSELY WITH AGE BECAUSE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM BEGINS TO WANE WITH INCREASING AGE.
BUT PHASE 1 C WOULD INCLUDE ALL THE OTHER ESSENTIAL WORKERS THAT WE DID NOT INCLUDE IN PHASE 1 B PEOPLE WHO HAVE ESSENTIAL JOBS AND THAT'S AS DEFINED BY CDC AND I HAVE A LINK TO THAT ESSENTIAL WORKERS CATEGORY IF WE WANT TO LOOK AT IT IN REAL TIME RIGHT NOW.
BUT THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE FREQUENT CLOSE CONTACT WITH OTHERS BUT ARE IN ESSENTIAL JOBL SOUTH CAROLINIANS AGED 16 AND OVER. WE DON'T HAVE A VACCINE FOR YOUNGER ADOLESCENTS AS YET. THEY ARE TESTING IN ASIA AS WELL.
SEVERAL VACCINES IN AGES 12 THROUGH 16 PERHAPS BY THE SUMMER WE WOULD HAVE A VACCINE AT LEAST FOR YOUNGER ADULTS. I DO WANT THE OTHER BIG NEWS ON TO TALK ABOUT IS THE JANSSEN VACCINE WHICH IS ALSO SOMETIMES CALLED THE JOHNSON AND JOHNSON VACCINE.
JOHNSON'S THE BIG CORPORATE ENTITY. JOHNSON IS THE SPECIFIC PORTION WITHIN JOHNSON JOHNSON THAT MAKES THE VACCINE AND I PUT THIS SLIDE IN THERE JUST TO REMIND YOU JUST LIKE PFIZER IN THE JOURNAL, HOW COULD VACCINE BE DEVELOPED SO QUICKLY? IT WAS NOT RUSHED THROUGH. THE BIGGEST STEP IN CREATING A VACCINE IS THAT BASIC SCIENCE RESEARCH STEP WHICH STARTED BACK IN 2003 WITH SAAS CO ONE VERY CLOSELY RELATED DISORDERS SOURCE V. TO SO ONCE WE HAD THE GENETIC CODE FOR 4 F1 VACCINE ORIGINALLY AND YOU KNOW, THESE
[00:10:53]
SUPER FREEZER SITUATIONS, THE JANSSEN VACCINE USES A DIFFERENT APPROACH.IT'S WHAT I CALL A TROJAN HORSE APPROACH. THE IDEA IS THAT IT HIDES THE DNA FOR THAT SPIKE PROTEIN INSIDE A WEAKENED ADD AN OLD VIRUS AND NO VIRUSES CAUSE THE COMMON COLD BUT THEY'VE WEAKENED IT SO THAT IT YOUR SYSTEM WILL STILL TAKE IT UP.
YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM WOULD STILL TAKE IT UP AND MAKE ANTIBODIES TO IT.
BUT YOU SHOULD NOT GET SICK FROM YOU WILL NOT GET THE COMMON COLD FROM IT.
AND OF COURSE YOU CAN'T GET COVID 19 BECAUSE IT ONLY HAS THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING THAT SPIKE PROTEIN
