1
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Good morning, and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Monday,

Speaker 1: the twelfth of April. My name is Zara Sidler, and

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,280

Speaker 1: Some good news about the UK, and.

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: A deep dive into the fires of vaccines.

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: Buckingham Palace announced the death of Prince Philip on Friday,

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: April ninth. Sam and I were together and it was

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: one of those stories that makes you audibly gasp at

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: the time. So now A ceremonial royal funeral for Prince

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: Philip will be held at Saint George's Chapel in Windsor

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: Castle next Saturday at three pm Local time or twelve

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: am Sunday for US. Due to COVID nineteen restrictions, only

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: thirty people will be in attendance. The Queen has approved

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: eight days of mourning up until the funeral.

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: Protests have been held across the country over the weekend

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: as Australia marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Royal Commission

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. The Royal Commission, handed down

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety one, made three hundred and thirty nine

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 2: recommendations to the government at the time. There have been

22
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: five Indigenous deaths in custody in the last five weeks,

23
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 2: and today's good news the weekly COVID nineteen death toll

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: has dropped ninety two percent in England and Wales since

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: the peak of the second wave. In January of this year,

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 2: the Office of National Statistics recorded seven hundred and twelve

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: deaths involving COVID nineteen and the week ending nineteenth of March,

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: compared to the eighty nine hundred and forty five recorded

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: in late jan So since the government announced on Thursday

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: night that under fifties in Australia are now recommended to

31
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: receive the FISA vaccine over the Astrosenka vaccine, we've heard

32
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: a lot about all of these different pharmaceutical companies. Instead

33
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: of diving into Astrosenica, what we thought would do today

34
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: is look at PISA, which is now one of the

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: most sought after products in Australia. So a quick bit

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: of background on PISA. It was developed by BioNTech, a

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 2: German company, and we brought you a good new story

38
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: about two weeks ago now about how the company is

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: using profits derived from the huge success of the vaccine

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: towards finding a cure for cancer. Fireser began trials in

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: April twenty twenty and the last trial in November was

42
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: based on more than forty thousand people. The potential efficacy,

43
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: which is the effectiveness rate, is about ninety one point

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: three percent, and it's recommended to have your second dose

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: three weeks after your first. Globally, Piser and BioNTech together

46
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: are making about two billion doses of the vaccine in

47
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. Australia has increased their order of the

48
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: PISA vaccine by twenty million because of the astrisannicin news.

49
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: An interesting difference of the PISA vaccine is that it

50
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: needs to be stored at below arctic temperatures about minus

51
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: seventy degrees celsius. The Aboriginal community controlled health organizations have

52
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: come out over the weekend and reassured remote communities that

53
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: they're still going to be able to ensure that all

54
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 2: communities have access to the vaccine. It's a particularly difficult

55
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: task to deliver this vaccine to remote areas given the

56
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: requirement that it be stored at such freezing temperatures.

57
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: So after the news that Scott Morrison delivered on Thursday

58
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: night that phiser was now the preferred vaccine. Do we

59
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: have enough of that here currently domestically to vaccinate the

60
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: entire population under fifty?

61
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 2: So right now Australia isn't making the type of vaccine

62
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: that PISA is. It's making the type of vaccine the

63
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: Astrozenica is. And the key difference between the two is

64
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: an ingredient called mRNA. It's a really fragile ingredient and

65
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: that's why the temperatures need to be so freezing, is

66
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: because that ingredient needs to survive. Until we start producing

67
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: that ingredient locally, we're not going to be able to

68
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: produce the FISA vaccine. Vaccine experts, however, say that we

69
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: do have the capacity to make mRNA, this magic ingredient.

70
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: We just need to invest in the resources to allow

71
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: us to do so.

72
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: So to just summarize, and I think that being clear

73
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: on this is really important given there is so much

74
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: talk about this in the general can unity. So right

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: now we're okay to continue administering the fires of vaccine

76
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: that we have imported from overseas, and it is likely

77
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: that we will start to develop domestically, our own fires

78
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: of vaccines and that special ingredient that you were talking

79
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: about that requires certain conditions, we can emulate that in

80
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: Australia and hopefully still work towards a speedy vaccination program

81
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:24,679
Speaker 1: in this country.

82
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: From the pole that we conducted on Instagram on Friday,

83
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: ten thousand of you responded and the results were largely

84
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: split down the middle, and what that tells us is

85
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: that there's a lot of insecurity and a lot of

86
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: questioning about this news topic. We're going to make sure

87
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: to cover it in as much depth as possible and

88
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: if you have any questions, please consult a health professional.

89
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: That's all we have time for today, but in the meantime,

90
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: follow the day's news on Instagram at the Daily od

91
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: It's where over one hundred thousand Australians get their news

92
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: throughout the day, and we'd love me to become part

93
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: of the community.
