Summary

As the coronavirus vaccine rollout continues across the nation, Pfizer and Moderna are promising a surge of vaccine doses, but new Covid variants in the U.S. are raising more concerns about how effective the vaccine will be against the new strains. Dr. Marty Makary, professor of surgery and health policy at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Fox News contributor discusses the new strains and if the vaccines can combat them. Nearly a year into the coronavirus pandemic numbers seem to be finally heading in the right direction, as Congress continues work on another round of financial aid. Robert Wolf, former economic advisor for President Obama, founder of 32 Advisors and FOX News Contributor discusses the next stimulus package, the possibility of a $15 an hour minimum wage and why "You can't have economic health without public health." Plus, commentary by FOX News Legal Analyst Gregg Jarrett. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
