00:00When we were in a bind at the very beginning, India helped us.
00:06We are sending immediately a whole series of help that he needs.
01:01I spoke at length with Modi, the Prime Minister.
01:07We are sending immediately a whole series of help that he needs, including providing
01:15for those Rendesivir and other drugs that are able to deal with this and prevent, in
01:23some cases, but help recovery.
01:26Secondly, we are sending the actual mechanical parts that are needed for the machinery they
01:34have to build a vaccine, and that's being done as well.
01:40We're also discussing, I've discussed with him, when we'll be able to send actual vaccines
01:47to India, which would be my intention to do.
01:51The problem is, right now, we have to make sure we have other vaccines like Novavax and
01:55others coming on, probably, and I think we'll be in a position to be able to share vaccines
02:02as well as know-how with other countries who are in real need.
02:07That's the hope and expectation.
02:09And I might add, when we were in a bind at the very beginning, India helped us.
