largest pharmaceutical companies, johnson and johnson and merck will expand the production of johnson and johnson's vaccine and putting those vaccines into the viles. while these companies are competitors most of the times, they are undertaking war-time effort to come to the table for the good of the country. as many of you know when we arrived on january 20, we learned from johnson and johnson they were behind on manufacturing. we immediately got to work to fix this and accelerate the process and think about big. we set out to do two things, increase the production of the vaccine itself as the drug substance and senged, expand our ability to safely transfer the vaccine from drug manufacturing plants into the little vials that are shipped all over the country a process called fill and finish. the biden administration agreed to initial investment of more than $100 million that will help expand the drug substance manufacturing and convert a merck plan to perform the production of the vaccine. with the encouragement and support, johnson and johnson agreed to take several steps to increas

it's not just johnson & johnson and merck. pfizer, moderna also work closely with us to speed up delivery of millions more doses. the result is that we are now on track to have enough vaccine supply for every american adult by the end of may. months earlier than anyone expected. and today, i'm directing jeff and my hhs team to produce another 100 million doses and purchase another 100 moving doses of johnson & johnson vaccine. i'm doing this because this wartime effort, we need maximum flexibility. there's always a chance we will encounter unexpected challenges, or there will be a new need for vaccine or vaccination effort. a lot can happen, a lot can change, and we need to be prepared. and of course we need to match the miracle of science and skilled manufacturer with a massive just to go undertaking of vaccinating over 300 million americans. already we have gone from johnson & johnson vaccine authorization to shots in the arm in three days. i was telling a gentleman, we were at a facility yesterday of veterans outreach. ther

& johnson and pfizer -- i'm sorry johnson & johnson and merck this is a story where there's no bad guys, only good actors here everybody got together and found ways to bring forward the timeline so we can get americans fully vaccinated into a very different place in a very different part of the pandemic and i think the president has always said he will laid out straight for the public, good news and bad news when we have challenges we talk about them and when we have advances we talk about them, that is how that came together. >> next will go to brenda goodman with web md. >> in morning i have a question about texas yesterday governor greg abbott said he was going to lift the mask mandate and open the estate up 100% and we know the all the variance have been found and according to research of a large sequencing effort i am wondering do you agree with the governor's assessment it's time to open the estate up 100%. >> let me begin with doctor walensky to talk about the cdc perspective in the house of commons. >> taken for the question i think we have the cdc have been very clear now is no

johnson: mr. speaker ever , since the tragic conflict endemic has roped out, this country has scrupulously followed guidance in which here we are well aware. >> the trouble is, while president biden has suspended in -- arms sales in yemen, the u.k. hasn't. in fact we sold 1.4 billion pounds of arms to saudi arabia in the last 3 months last year. including bombs and missiles that could be used in yemen. given everything we know about the appalling humanitarian cost of this war, with innocent civilians caught between the coalition and the rebels, why does the prime minister think it is right to be selling these weapons? p.m. johnson: mr. speaker, the u.k. is part of an international coalition following the u.n. resolutions to which he will know well. which are very clear, is that the legitimate government of yemen was removed, illegally . those are the resolutions we follow and we continue , scrupulously to follow humanitarian guidance which are amongst toughest measures in respect to arms sales. he

pm johnson: mr. speaker, i rise, as i told the honorable lady from the liberal democrats early on, a massive debt as a society to the nurses of the nhs. that's why we have asked the review body to look at their pay. i want to stress, the house knows that starting salaries for nurses have gone up by 12.8% over the last three years, and it is thanks to the package this government has put in place that we now have 10,600 more nurses in our nhs than one year ago, and 60,000 more in training. >> mr. speaker, he says nurses' pay has gone up. i know he is desperate to distance himself from the conservative record. since 2010, nurses' pay has fallen in real terms by more than 800 pounds. and he did not answer my question, a very simple question. he has been talking about affordability. he could afford to be of -- afford to give dominic cummings a 40% pay raise. now he's asking nhs nurses to take a real term pay cut. how on earth does he justify that? pm johnson: i repeat the point i have made. i believe that

but at least in johnson's case, it was true. sherman, according to the official records had something in excess of 100,000 men, hundred and three, hundred and five, depending on how you count in three armies, though only about 80,000 of those were where we call, effectives. that is a good hole and musket and stand and wine. and how big was johnston's argument? all that turns out to be a bit of a controversy, to. his official returns in may of 1864 at the outset of the campaign showdown aggregate total of 55 to 60,000 men and all branches, infantry, cavalry, artillery and an effective total of about 42,000. now in richmond, jefferson davis looked at these returns and the number that popped into his mind was that 60% figure, which is roughly the size of robert e. lee's army in virginia. johnson of course emphasized the smaller number, the number of affective, 42,000. of course, using either number, the odds were about two to one between sherman and johnson. of course, as davis noted, the confederacy faced long odds everywhere. li

>> johnson & johnson. >> johnson & johnson. why is that? >> one shot and i'm done. >> reporter: this is just one small pharmacy in america, but the trend here is very clear. the one-dose johnson & johnson vaccine is very popular. >> you're not going to feel a thing. >> reporter: trenya clark also chose johnson & johnson. >> i cried. i was so happy. here in north county, we weren't getting vaccines. they were making us drive 60 and 80 miles to go get it. >> reporter: reggie jones is the mayor of delwood. >> okay, you're all set, sir. >> reporter: he was one of the smaller number of people here who chose moderna. outside the pharmacy in nearby neighborhoods, it is not difficult to find people who aren't planning to get any covid vaccine. >> yes, i believe that they would bring the lesser drugs in our communities to test us to see if they work before they hit the masses. >> reporter: you're referring to the johnson & johnson one dose? >> yes. >> congratulations, you are set. >> reporter: the pharmacist knows about the past, but tells her custo

johnson & johnson and merck will work together to expand the production of johnson & johnson's vaccine. this is the type of collaboration between companies we saw in world war ii. we also invoke the defense production act to equip two merck facilities to the standards necessary to safely manufacture the j&j vaccine. and with the energy and assistance of my administration, johnson & johnson is also taking additional new actions to safely accelerate vaccine production. johnson & johnson's vaccine manufacturing facilities will now begin to operate 24/7. in addition, we'll continue to use the defense production act to expedite critical materials such as equipment, machinery and supplies. i've also asked the department of defense to provide daily logistical support to strengthen johnson & johnson's efforts. and i want to thank johnson & johnson and merck for stepping up and being good corporate citizens during this national crisis. here's what all this means. we're now on track to have enough vaccine supply for every adult in america by the end of may. let me say that again. when we came in

government in the development and testing of johnson & johnson. what people don't appreciate is that there have been decades of investment in basic, preclinical and clinical research to actually develop the vector. a lot of work done up at harvard. the development of the stabilized pre-fusion spike protein was done by scientists at the niad vaccine research center. the utilization by johnson & johnson of the extensive domestic and international clinical trials network that was established for actually for hiv and influenza. also the lab at the cancer research center performed all the testing. the data and safety monitoring board was established by niad and extensive support from hhs to conduct the trial and to prepurchase hundreds of millions of dollars worth of vaccines by bartter. it's a complicated process. it looks like it was quick and it was done in a relatively short period of time. there was a lot of effort, including fundamental basic pre-clinical and clinical research that went into that. i will stop there and hand it over to dr. nunez-s

senator johnson: there are100 senators. we offered hundreds of amendments and only considered a fraction of those. at this point in time we considered all amendments that senators want voted on. reporter: it's been reported that the democrats have taken out the bridge in new york and the train in california as well. what's your reaction to them? there is dialing back of some of those things. senator johnson: that's what providing public information can result in. when you put public -- when you expos this to the -- expose this to the light of day, even something that's benefitting senator schumer or speaker pelosi gets pulled from the bill. they could have stuck it in there, had this thing voted on, nobody reading the bill, that might have survived. $1.9 trillion, there's other roads and tunnels and bridges of nowhere, i'm sure, that need to be highlighted. and that's the deliberative process, that's what the amendment process will highlight. hopefully we can dramatically reduce the size of this bill. again, i don't think w

yeah you mentioned the religious aspect a while ago and this johnson and johnson story is intriguing for that reason is are there other religious. sticky wickets in a job interview or in the workplace generally. yeah i mean religion the religious aspect of whether or not a person decides to get a shot is going to be likely said it's going to be sticky but we have to recognize is that even before coated employees did have the right to refuse vaccines due to sincerely held religious beliefs so that's not going to really change here but in the cases where religion affect someone's decision to get a vaccine or not the employee is going to have to at the employer excuse me is going to have to cater to those needs they're going to have to take steps to ensure that the unvaccinated employee is safe in the workplace rather than deny that person employment based on those religious beliefs. in a broader sense now that we've become accustomed to working at home some love it some hate it how about employers requiring vaccine aside employers requiring people to come back to work and they may be w
