flawed covid vaccine. rollout 5 things to turn frustration and the motivation. 5 things to help us meet our goal of 100 million shots by the end of our first 100 days in office, speaking for the second straight day about how he plans to tackle the pandemic once he takes office the president elect laid out what it will take to meet that goal of 100 million shots. we'll use the defense production act to work with private industry to accelerate the making of materials needed to supply in administering vaccine. >>from the to ensure lunges syringes to protective equipment biden also criticized the trump administration's strategy of withholding doses saying he's taking a much different approach our administration released the vast majority of axes when they're available more people to get vaccinated quickly while still retain a small reserve for any unseen

shortage or delays, although he plans to make more doses available biden says he does not plan on changing the fda's recommended dosing schedules. i'm justine waldman kron 4 news. >>state leaders have surpassed the goal of distributing 1 million doses of the vaccine and 10 days governor newsome says that as of today more than one 0.1 million californians have been vaccinated california so far has received a total of 3 million dosis we've got increased the pace and distribution in the administration of these vaccines. california has been pretty slow and distributing the inventory of shots compared to much of the rest of the country. the recent surge of new cases of course that's not helping state leaders are promising things will get better. >>mayor london breed announced a partnership between the city and private health care providers in the county to create 3 new large scale vaccination sites they'll be

set up at the moscone center in the city a district city college of san francisco in the sunnyside neighborhood and the s of community market in the bayview people 65 and older in the city may have to wait a bit longer though then those in other counties because san francisco is still technically working through vaccinating people in phase. one a. >>we have between 80 to 90,000 frontline health care workers in the city. so that here is bigger for us than it is for other counties in this state. >>mayor breed says the city is going through vaccine doses as quickly as possible getting shots in arms. she also says the city has the proper infrastructure to distribute 10,000. day as long as there are enough shots to go around. >>the oakland coliseum that could become a mass coronavirus vaccination site and that could happen as soon as next month. the idea to use it as a side to floated this

week after governor newsom announced that's similar sites would be launched at dodger stadium in l a a petco park in san diego calif foe and sacramento. the alameda county public health department though still has to approve the use of the coliseum as a vaccination center before it can begin providing dosis. >>contra costa county is ramping up efforts to get people vaccinated officials sell the vaccination clinic on the campus of diablo valley college today as they prepare to welcome people, 65 and older to sign up and get the shot the county is still prioritizing people in the first phase meeting health care workers and folks living or working in long-term care facilities, but anybody, 65 and older can sign up to date the county has administered about 36,000 shots. >>in the east bay walnut creek doctor is trying to help people 75 and older to get vaccinated 500 doses of the pfizer vaccine have been

acquired from contra costa county which the doctor will distribute this weekend. kron four's gayle ong live with us tonight in lafayette to explain how this is going to work gayle. >>grant and katharine this weekend there will be a drive-thru clinic at stanley middle school here in lafayette and it was put together after a number of senior patients pleaded for help. >>level desperation people not knowing where to go and those who are most vulnerable are our elderly population. often had the hardest time navigating the sets that were available county but sites and other online on station's doctor rebecca parish of comprehensive wellness in walnut creek acquired 500 doses of the pfizer vaccine from contra costa county with the help from local nonprofits i decided that if i was going go through the process. registering that's in spencer.

and if i was through all that and we're going to get as many people as we can a drive-thru clinic will be held over the weekend a lot by ad aimed for seniors who don't live in nursing homes anr risk of falling through the cracks more than a 100 health care volunteers will vaccinate adults ages, 75 and older. >>according to the u.s. census bureau data nearly 9.5 million seniors, 65 and older lack internet access local nonprofits will assist seniors making appointments online and providing transportation to the clinic for those who needed with the slow vaccine rollout across the state and bay area. >>doctor parish hopes this weekend's drive-thru clinic will be a model to others it just seems unconscionable to me that we would have doses and not give them to the people. >>who are at highest risk. >>the drive-thru clinic will open 08:00am tomorrow at stanley middle school here in lafayette once again and this will go on through the weekend until everyone who registered

get their shot. it is by appointment only. and right now the register free registration is full so there is a wait list and we'll post that link on our website live in lafayette gayle ong kron 4 news. all right carol, thank you very much will of the 31 million vaccine doses that have been distributed to states. >>only 12 million of actually been administered to people so a lot of americans are wondering. what is the hold up to help us try to make sense of the issues we welcome in doctor bob wachter chair of the department of medicine at ucsf leading pandemic expert. >>in the u.s. see also has a new job and we'll get to that momentarily. doctor wachter thanks for being with us on a friday night i presume in i don't know a couple months you'll be on here talking about how people need to trust the vaccine and go get vaccinated but at this point you have more people who want it who can't get it. what do you see as the one or 2 biggest problems here.

>>i think you're raising one of the most interesting things about the vaccine. we will have this period over the next 2, 3, months. >>there there is a massive demand and inadequate supply and then so time i think it's probably going to be april or we will >>into having an effect seen in trying to assure the people that people get it. the problem so far has been that the we've not reverse the last mile very well meaning the government today amazing job getting these vaccines produce incredibly safe amazingly effective vaccines. and did a nice job getting them out into the communities with the trucks and the airplanes. but to many see if your last speaker said are sitting in freezers and vaccines. >>the fact that nationally about 30 to 35% of the vaccine doses that have been distributed have been injected is really pretty terrible in california is doing slightly worse. the national average so we actually have to fix that it's an emergency where 4,000

people a day are dying. and every person who could get a shot today and doesn't may get sick in a couple weeks in the fa some of them will die so we have to really step up the tempo here. >>doctor any thoughts on how to simplify things i mean we're hearing politicians governor newsome president elect biden basically assuring us there are plans it will get better. are there ways to simplify what we're doing what's the what is the problem. >>well, the problem is it is complicated. we didn't plan for it adequately i think we have treated it as almost a routine matter getting it and you see a lot of clinics the go 8 to 5 monday through friday. we're not treating this as a as a national emergency in a state of emergency. as it is. so the the the solution is is everything we need more clinics, we need them to be more accessible. we need more people to be doing injecting in all of the other things that have to be done. we're going to need more vaccine. but that is not the problem.

that we're facing today. many of the vaccination sites are in hospitals in their hospitals are overwhelmed with covid patients so we need to move them out into the communities into into the the pharmacies in 2. into football stadiums into parking lots all of that seems to be happening. but it really took too long you know just in the past couple days we're hearing about big plans at the state level. we're now hearing about big plans at the federal level the people president biden has been in charge of this are fantastic and it really feels like for the first time that i recall in the pandemic we're being treated as adults were being told the truth we're being told what the plans are that gives me a lot of hope. >>doctor one layer of this people who are suggesting they don't want it they're not going to get it but there's a concern that there will be a lot of focus on those people while some argue paxson 8 the people who are willing. i worry about cajoling the rest of them down the line. >>yeah in the short term i think that it's important that

we do both things week we vaccinate as many people as we possibly can and during the time that we have a supply-demand mismatch the key thing is just get everybody there are plenty of people or hundreds of millions of people that want to be vaccinated we've got have to get vaccinated at the same time we have to be controlling is probably not right it's really giving people the information they need so that they make the right choice i just got my second shot tonight. it's to me it was even close what the right choice was and and the edge because the vaccine is 95% safe. 95% effective in terms of preventing case of covid nearly a 100% effective in preventing serious cases of covid and extraordinarily safe at ucsf we've now given over 20,000. vaccinations and we have had a couple of cases of allergies where people had to take benadryl and that's it. vaccination so i think people

will come to this some people say that i want to wait a little bit that's ok because other people are waiting for their vaccine and they they will grab it. but i think over time most people will say you know i can take my chances with covid killing 4,000 people a day where i can get this miraculous and safe vaccine. i think most people are going to come and believe that it's the right thing to do. all right so you're already a busy guy right you take care of sick patients you teach future doctors, the research and write about it and you manage this whole department thousands of people. >>so it sounds like you need one more thing to do doctor will actor and i was getting a little or done is it a longer because you're going to be guest wildly popular and fast growing. podcast it's called in the bubble and he slammed it has been the host but he has been asked by the biden white house to come serve as a senior adviser for the pandemic response and and he's going to do that for the next 4 months. i bet you never

thought you'd be hosting a podcast. >>i did that was not my list of things that was going to do. i have been doing a whole lot of public communication since this started and i you know it's it's a gratifying thing to do. we're all learning about this together there's a tremendous amount of need for information and there's a lot of misinformation out there. so we've been having grand rounds at ucsf that we've been putting on youtube they've been very very popular i've been tweeting a lot. andy who's one of my heroes of these effective an impasse person. called me last week and he question for you would you like to take over my podcast which gets about a million downloads a month. and i said sure so i'll do that for 4 i i have been an avid listener so might as well inches do it and the guests are a who's who in the world of covid but the world to find quite broadly including everything from tony fauci to tina fey last weekend the new

would be good asked why not we've had a great day today lot of sunshine and some spring-like weather outside tonight, temperatures staying up quite a bit. >>we've got high pressure overhead and that big strong dome of high pressure just not allow if you get all that cool so yeah, nice night out there a few high clouds passing by today spectacular impact had some records today we set a record in salinas and 84 degrees if you can believe that we tied a santa rosa at 70 degrees so certainly remarkable temperatures all these numbers running a good 5 to 15 degrees above the average for this time of year you see that all around the bay area. numbers we had today in the 60's and the 70's that is just very warm for this time of year. still major storms out there in the pacific you can just winding up the unfortunate thing the also see that little curl clockwise curl right over the top of that ridge of high pressure that's the signature that ridge setting all that moisture well to the north so that keeps us dry and just a

few passing clouds and that's all we've got out there right now keep things dry around the state. of the bay area looking dry now and that's the way it is going to stay throughout the weekend. something to watch out for all that nice weather of course i think a lot of people will be flocking to the beaches said the if you head out to the coast. there could be some 20 foot breakers right along the water's edge stay off the rock staff, the jan is very dangerous conditions out there for tomorrow now overnight tonight you see the temperatures slowly to fall off or a winter's night into the 50's partly cloudy skies. we're going to one remarkable weekend ahead, we will have more on that in the prospects for any chance of rain the forecast we'll talk about that coming thanks alerts as well tonight and that she is speaking out on behalf of a grieving san francisco woman whose young child was killed. >>in a murder suicide, san francisco police found the bodies of her ex husband and her 9 year-old boy. this was wednesday night in the marina district the initially anyway believed to have followed a bitter dispute over medical decisions regarding the boy.

undeniable. >>that pierce's father suffered from untreated mental illness which resulted in his taking the life. his son into his own life. >>pierce's mother lesley he was seeking sole custody of peers which would allow her to make medical decisions on his behalf such as getting vaccinations however, necklace as vaccinations were not the sole reason for peers being killed pierce wasn't killed. >>because of a disagreement over stuffy nose and he wasn't killed over a disagreement regarding vaccinations he was killed for more complex reasons pearce was a student at catholic private school convent and stuart hall in san francisco, the schools sending kron 4 news a brief statement saying in part quote. >>we're devastated by these events and we are praying for this family necklace a veteran and family law says these

>>thousands have reported you sightings and some have been declassified by the federal government this week that's ahead of a deadline set by oddly enough the coronavirus relief bill, you know this is an interesting story kron four's ella sogomonian she joins us in the studio to explain ella catherine grant this mysterious blue light was captured over the skies of hawaii just this week. >>it's hard to understand exactly why but lawmakers who want to know more about these kind of events have tacked on an order for more information on you oppose to the covid-19 relief bill that could make this past year all the more strange. >>we want to know who who are they. well why are they here. it what are their intentions. and how long have they been here. >>the clock is ticking for the pentagon's discreet program to

investigate foes as ordered by a clause in the coronavirus relief bill. the a p task force which stands for unidentified aerial phenomenon. now has less than 180 days to submit a detailed overview of the u f o mystery to congress so far this week nearly 3,000 documents have been declassified and can be found on the black called website. we spoke with the state director of the northern california mutual ufo network about these developments. census information will be on classified can we expect some groundbreaking information or do you think that it may still be tailored to. >>what the federal government the public can handle and b what may be safe to reveal for any foreign enemies out there listening. >>i it's probably the latter both there there might be some groundbreaking information but i could totally understand main cautious because he could be a national security issue too. >>that threat may be prompting

a stronger push from lawmakers for more information to be shared. the first public mention of the p task force came in june 2020 when the senate intelligence committee formally asked the pentagon for a comprehensive analysis of the mysterious objects over the last 3 years members and staff of the key committees had received closed door briefings about startling encounters with the u.s. military. there has been a lot of evidence worldwide including video from our navy pilots which the department of defense released last year that captured strange objects moving in ways that defy our current understanding of physics, marco rubio who is on the senate intelligence committee has been very vocal on demanding more concrete answers and transparency anytime you have things flying over military installation and you don't know what they are that immediately raises issues of counterintelligence not immediately raises issues of national security. >>and so my view of it is that we have something that that we need to know the answer to the american public deserve to

know as much as possible about it and we shouldn't allow the stigma associated with u f o to keep us from trying to answer that question. for decades, americans have been reporting various descriptions of things that can explain. >>floating in the sky from orb of light to saucers and disks despite the new push for information. it may be difficult to prove whether all of it will truly be released. this effort by the government and millions of dollars spent on an advanced aerospace threat identification program. >>suggests just how serious this is, but whether man made or something else entirely remains a question you can watch the entire interview tonight at 11 on the kron on app live in the studio ella sogomonian kron 4 news. >>we just want to know where the others right sometimes just the unknowing of it all is that what they have to get their temperatures taken. >>and every fact you know there has to be certain protocols fine but i don't think we should to shut the door on these kids. >>whatever it takes let them play that was the message

today and rallies all across the bay area. parents and students here in brentwood in contra costa county we're urging health officials to start talking about resuming youth sports. so far the state has not laid out a plan for when you sports might start again. and governor newsom is adjusting its guidelines for when some students can get back into the classroom for k through grade 6 students counties must have a seven-day average of 25 or fewer cases per 100,000 residents in order to consider reopening and that that's down from 28 or fewer cases making it now tougher to reach that benchmark. it's unclear what threshold must be met for older students. >>a super spreader covid outbreak at golden gate fields that halted racing there for 2 months hundreds of people had covid there but today competition resumed cut forcefully call reports from berkeley where horses at the tracks without spectators.
