Dr. Ashish Jha, the dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, tells Lawrence O'Donnell that Johnson & Johnson pausing clinical trials after an "unexplained" illness is "reassuring that the process by which we are developing the vaccine is working." Dr. Jha says Trump claiming he's immune "sends all the wrong public health messages." Aired on 10/13/2020.

Johnson & Johnson Pausing Clinical Trial For Covid-19 Vaccine ‘Reminder’ Of Trump's ‘Absurdity’
How can these people be so stupid?
@fuzfire Jeezus ain’t gone help you. Wear a mask and stay out of crowds.
@sk8queen who are you again?
@andrea ryder Dont worry about who I am.
@sk8queen no one is worried about who you are haha, that’s the point
@fuzfire laughable a rightwing trumpster claiming Dems are the evil ones. Trump and trumpism is nothing but evil as it is all about hate and prejudice as well as ignorance. Laughable but as us with rightwingers its all about blaming others rather than accepting any self responsibility and accountability, just blame and hate others yup nothing evil there
Trump to tweet in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1….
Gone
Mad fingers 🤣🤣🤣💯 #votehimout🏌️♀️🎯
person, woman, man, rally, coffin.
🤣💀💯🏌️♀️
@Doomsurfer bwaaaah. You obviously watch Fox news.
😁
@The_Fearless_One I speak for the American people… and I’m English !
@Dave Walsh Efc- Yeah, whatever!!
If I were Fauci, I’d sue. It’s the only language trump understands.
@mph seti The campaign keeps manipulating information like if they put a 5th of the energy into actually doing some kind of work they’d probably be doing better. This may sound morbid but something stronger than the initial onset needs to hit trump dont want anyone to die but he needs to feel what this virus can really do if it doesn’t change his mind at very lease it’ll keep him from gaining support in the polls
@Eagle Eyes OWNED BY THE FAKE NEWS 😁
@JIGS UP lmfao I know you are 👉 No need to tell me 😂
@Eagle Eyes 😁 TRIGGERED MUCH?
You cannot get blood out of a stone and dr Fauci would be wasting his hard earned money trying to do so. Go dr Fauci!
The US is the ONLY country were wearing a mask is a political statement.
And we all know who is responsible for this.
By April or sooner, 1 out of every 370 Americans above the age of 45 will have died because of covid.
Today, 1 out of every 690 American above the age of 45 has died because of covid.
145 million Americans above age 45 / 210,000 Americans above age 45 are dead = 690
145 million Americans above age 45 / 400,000 Americans above age 45 are dead = 370
….. math and science doesn’t lie and downplay human suffering ….. sociopaths do.
If we did what Germany did 150,000 Americans would still be alive today. Only a sociopath would downplay human suffering and death.
That would be the Constitution.
@Karen Byrd That’s why Germany sees highest daily infection rate since April.
Germany has recorded 2,297 new cases of coronavirus in the past day, according to the Robert Koch Institute, the country’s disease control and prevention agency.
@travis anders we all have.phones and all have seen how the virus spread from china to Europe boris. Tell putin you need a new script, no one is buying it.
Everyone making “zombie jokes ” until a C19 patient actually bites someone
C19? I feel like I missed something lol
@SoulHarvester Gaming covid-19, corona virus, C-19
@anne-marie Andrews I feel dumb now, carry on. 🥸🥸
Wouldn’t let anyone that close to me.
@SoulHarvester Gaming You did click on a MSNBC article 🙂 (myself included).
Trump: I don’t know Johnson&Johnson very well.
I’ve never heard of them!!!
If Doofus doesn’t like what Jonson & Johnson has done, he can easily volunteer to be their test dummy. What could go wrong?😁😁😁😁😁
Are all Democrat Pedophiles Terrorist Losers or What
@Doug Eisenberg are all presidents best buddies with Geoffrey Epstein ? And wish his recruiter well at trial?
Firstly, kudos to Johnson and Johnson for doing the ethical thing in pausing trials to insure the safety of trial participants (as they should be doing) and the safety of the vaccine, and for their transparency and honestly with the public. Secondly, thank you to Dr. Fauci for being transparent with the public. Theses examples are what ethics looks like within the medical and science professionals. More ethics than I’ve seen within politics and lawyers.
@Michael Plemel not til you reminded me. How many years did we use baby powder for our children. Think i’ll stay away from theit vaccine, even if they say it safe. Thanks!
@Bill Robbins Maybe so, but the heir of their company was made Ambassador to London, by Trump given a beautiful house,a cushy job . Is he Trump’s poodle in the UK ? It just demonstrates how these Republicans have entwined themselves with Trump and their party and it reaches it’s tentacles over the world.
@Bill Robbins Woody is the nickname is the of the heir apparent in that company. He was made the Ambassador to London by Trump. #Trumpisamobster #Trumpisamobster #Trumpisamobster
Really, you can go back to any clinical trial and get the same results. Like for any medical trial.
@corryjookit so is trump like a mob boss? KGB is mob like right?
This. Is why phase 3 shouldn’t be rushed through!
Someone should tell Trump that with his Operation Warp Speed plan…
Absolutely correct. That is why they are called clinical trials! Same thing also happened in the UK, suspended trials for a period before resuming. Also happening in trials in Australia, suspending the trial while reviewing some responses that have gone astray.
It’s not being rushed.
It angers me that Donald Trump’ screams out false promises as well as assuming large groups such as law enforcement back his policies. I know police cannot speak publicly about politics, and if they have been conservative that doesn’t mean that all police APPROVE of Trump. As a Democrat there are some values I share with Conservatives, but I vote for policies which benefit society. Our current GOP passes legislation to give more power to the WEALTHY Elite. In this way Reagan took the party away from helping it’s middle class constituents.
@Tessmage Tessera “Anyway non of the current data agrees with you”. You must be talking to someone else I posted no data. Maybe you are getting your fake news neurons firing in the wrong directions again?
@Tessmage Tessera Trump has not changed, people knew what they were getting. True some hated Hillary more.
@Tessmage Tessera How about the electoral collage. You know what our Republic stand on. And giving things away does not make them a better candidate.
@Hector Ruiz No, people did not know what they were getting in 2016. Trump had never been president before, so how could anyone possibly have known how he would perform in that office..? I think most people expected him to rise to the occasion but instead, he sank lower than the dirt.
@Tessmage Tessera Again he never changed. He did or tried to do everything he said he was going to. There should have been no surprise. From the beginning the media tried to make him do things they wanted, or thought he should do.
Test all vaccines on Donald Trump. He told us that he is now immune, so it can’t hurt him.
@Maddog Pham The she was the girl who had a pass on wearing a mask at work. That’s what the story is about. But your just stupid maddog.
@LulaMae21 haha, you may want to research that better. To much CNN for you.
By immune he probably means he has built an immunity because of anti bodies jesus how can people of today not use interpretation to better understand things, once you have the anti bodies you’re typically immune to a virus for the most part
Test them all on Ivanka and Barron. Same as Putin said he did (with his daughter). (“said”, mind you)
Learning from Taiwan about fighting Covid-19 — and using EHRs – STAT
https://www.statnews.com/2020/06/30/taiwan-lessons-fighting-covid-19-using-electronic-health-records/
JAMA. HAS SEVERAL ARTCLES TOO
Everybody is guilty of naivete when it comes to expectations placed on vaccines. They assume 100% safety and 100% effectiveness. Not even close.
We could have a 95% effective, 99% safe vaccine, just not widely available till 2022. These things take time. Rushing clinical trials will only have terrible results.
So true…sigh if only the stupid would stop.
@Deborah Freedman No one is rushing the clinical trials.
I live in a 3rd world country where even 2 years old understand the concepts of mask wearing, social distancing, personal hygiene and responsibility for their fellow citizens.
My country: 6 deaths per 1 million.
US: 680 deaths per 1 million.
Btw: our Head of State never questioned our obligation to treat citizens and non-citizens arriving at our borders to keep numbers low.
Guess which of the two countries I consider to be truly great.
Science is HARD, which is why it should be left to the experts, and not politicians.
Yeah its really hurt us a lot not being able to right the ship after new Covid-19 information has come out. Even the WHO is pleading at internal meetings to “stop the lockdowns” due to it causing more damage than it help as a whole, but people are so politically entrenched they are shouting down actual science and replacing it with lawyer speak. Its sad.
https://youtu.be/BkEgssCf4lc watch this he exposed the vaccine tune in keep the kids and people safe
your experts or mine
because is biznez
We need a complete SWEEP…
So, they (republicans) can’t use the Supreme court to make Trump a winner.
WOW, really. More anarchy where do I sign up.
This is why the US is so affected, the world’s most “progressive” nation have one of the 5 worst responses to the epidemic that other Countries have more or less beaten
Today, 1 out of every 690 American above the age of 45 has died because of covid.
145 million Americans above age 45 / 210,000 Americans above age 45 are dead = 690
145 million Americans above age 45 / 400,000 Americans above age 45 are dead = 370
….. math and science doesn’t lie and downplay human suffering ….. sociopaths do.
tRUMP and the Republican government are perpetrating their “infect the herd” response to the pandemic. The ABC Supreme Court hearing shows the Republicans not wearing masks and not being tested. tRUMP is infected and he throws masks out to his herd. “kiss everyone in the audience” is his desire to infect his herd. Vote BIDEN/HARRIS. Vote Blue up and down the ballot.
Trump is a hot mess and doesn’t believe in science only his self absorb ignorance.
When has Trump ever tested positive? Who did the test? He lies all the time.
