00:00One of the things that we're going to do is to be completely transparent, open and honest.
00:05If things go wrong, not point fingers, but to correct them and to make everything we do be based on
00:12science and evidence.
00:14I mean, that was literally a conversation I had 15 minutes ago with the president, you know, over history.
00:20But it was very clear that there were things that were said, be it regarding things like hydroxychloroquine and other
00:27things like that,
00:28that really was uncomfortable because they were not based on scientific fact.
00:32I can tell you, I take no pleasure at all in being in a situation of contradicting the president.
00:39So it was really something that you didn't feel that you could actually say something and there wouldn't be any
00:44repercussions about it.
00:45The idea that you can get up here and talk about what you know, what the evidence, what the science
00:52is, and know that's it.
00:53Let the science speak. It is somewhat of a liberating feeling.
00:57We're coming in with fresh ideas, but also some ideas that were not bad ideas with the previous administration.
01:05You can't say it was absolutely not usable at all.
01:09So we are continuing, but you're going to see a real ramping up of it.
01:12If we get 70 to 85 percent of the country vaccinated, let's say by the end of the summer, middle
01:19of the summer,
01:20I believe by the time we get to the fall, we will be approaching a degree of normality.
01:25It's not going to be perfectly normal, but one that I think will take a lot of pressure off the
01:29American public.
01:30Thank you.
01:30Thank you.
