Our own, Dr Marc Siegel, took a break from his medical practice in New York and went to Washington this morning to interview the White House. The president, rather at the White House here, is part of their conversation. Mr President, great news today on vaccines by his or her with a vaccine, one hundred million doses purchased by the federal government for two dollars billion. It seems like therapeutics and vaccines are really proceeding at a major speed to they have done really well. I want you all the time you are my guide to this because, frankly, you have a good take, and you know how important it is. The vaccines are doing well and therapeutics. You tell me, but I would almost prefer therapeutics. First, you go into the hospital and you make people better. We are doing very well with remdesivir and other things. The steroids are turning out to be good plasmas. Turning out to be good, we have a tremendous progress, and that is where you see the

death numbers a horrible thing to save, but that is where you see the death numbers really looking much better more on vaccines. Im concerned about faxing complaints from the country, thirty percent said they would not take the vaccine as commander in chief end of the free world. Would you consider one of the first to take the vaccine to send a message to the american public? You know how it works if im the first one he so selfish. He wanted to get the vaccine first. Other people would say hey. That is a brave thing to do. I would absolutely if they want to meet you and if they thought it was right, I would take it first or last mark you know if I take it first from either way I lose on that one right. If I take it first, if I dont take it from he doesnt believe in the program, but whatever I think is best in whatever we agree is best. I will certainly do that. I will make a deal I will take it we can to get together talked about lockdowns. I am disturbed that you more

than me disturbed about the economic, physical, medical lockdowns. The democratic governors are talking about lockdowns. What is your view? You can almost see it on television. I watch these guys welcome, I wont say because its not somebody, you have a liking, but a certain comedian locked in his h time and hes like withered away, hes lost the whole deal. Hes lost the with so much. I almost would like to use him as an example, but you can use more than him. It is hurting people. These lockdowns are hurting people. We did the right thing. I dont know if you agree, but I think you do we closed it down. We understand the disease and we didnt know anything about this. It came in and was new. We banned China from coming and which is a big move. Dr Fauci actually said. I saved tens of thousands of lives. If you remember, I was only one that wanted to do it. Nobody, we had an office of twenty one people and they said no, but ive got to do it

and then we banned Europe from coming in which is good with ITALY and all of the problems, but we did it right. We closed it. Up now we are opening. We have learned, for instance, we learned the elderly, especially, and you can say this better than anybody. The elderly who have diabetes or heart problems have a problem. They are really so acceptable when people like to compare it to the flu. It is interesting because I see the flu numbers and they are very bad, but when I look at flu numbers, I never lost anybody to the flu. I have never all of my life ive heard many people have the flu, the flu, but nobody died. I never remember anybody saying yet the flu and died. I have lost five people, probably six actually, as of this moment, I think pretty soon, but I have lost five friends that went in about one of them tested come a great guy Stanley, one of the top real estate

people in New York, a good man too, never into politics. Until I ran he became a political wild man, he loved it a great guy with a great spirit set. I tested positive and I said well that is too bad and you will be okay. He went to the hospital and two days later in a coma. How was he doing hes in a coma and two days later he died. You know that has happened on a numerous occasions, probably happen with people. You know too. I never remember anything like that. It didnt. I never remembered this happening with the flu. This is a serious thing, but we learned people. Stanley was an older guy. He perhaps could have lost a couple of pounds actually im, not as healthy, but other people are healthy age of such a big factor. When you look in new jersey- and I happen to like- but I get along with him. Well the governor of New Jersey, Governor Murphy, he said with the thousands of deaths they had one death under

the age of eighteen and I believe that young person had diabetes, but one death out of thousands of people, one death and statistics. We would not have known that at the beginning. In all fairness, you didnt know the elderly would be so badly hurt, so we are really taking care of the elderly population right now at a level that has never happened before. Are we going to beat this virus? We are going to beat it and we are timely going to be there over time. It will disappear appear. That is terrible. It is true, it will disappear before it disappears. My think we can knock it out before it disappears. That is what I want if I had my choice of therapeutics, give me therapeutics every time, because I would love to walk into a hospital and give everybody something and they start walking out in two days. That is what I like.
