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

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: 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

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

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

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

and johnson vaccine if you compare it to the other 2 vaccines here johnson and johnson is the only vaccine there you only need one goes and it also doesn't need to be frozen which helps it in transport now although the johnson and johnson if you look has a lower efficacy than the other 2 vaccines it's very important to mention that all 3 vaccines year they have shown to have no hospitalizations or deaths in large clinical trials so in essence no vaccine is actually better than the other when it comes to preventing deaths and that's the important factor now the only difference is that the efficacy is very. graphically because for example the new aggressive very very ends were in widespread the edward mcgurn pfizer released her vaccine so while johnson and johnson has a 72 percent efficacy in the u.s. it has a 68 percent efficacy in the u.k. now is 66 percent efficacy in south america and 57 percent efficacy in south africa so while we at least know that the johnson and johnson will prevent deaths in the more aggressive variants found globally it's not entirely clear just how well the madeir

that is the entirety johnson & johnson's current inventory. we're getting the doses out of the door right away to make sure that vaccines get into arms as quickly as possible. j&j has communicated that the supply will be limited for the next couple of weeks following this initial distribution of nearly 4 million doses. the company then expected to deliver approximately 16 million additional doses by the end of march. however, as we have discussed with governors and their teams, and with federal partners, we know that j&j distribution and delivery will be uneven across these early weeks in march and the company expects the delivery to be prodominantly in the back half of the month. overall on the j&j vaccine, we've done the planning, we have the distribution channels in place, and we're getting doses out of the door as quickly as possible to get shots in arms. so we're focused on execution, and that includes the important work of ensuring that we continue to increase overall vaccine supply, increase the number of vaccinators and the number of p

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
