Listen, even if you're not a gamer or you're not into the game Fortnite, TSM Dayquan is this very, very, very popular professional gamer and has this life philosophy about that W key that I want to talk about today because I truly believe that it is extremely beneficial to anybody struggling with anxiety or depression or just hitting a rough patch in their life so let's talk about it. What is up everybody this is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you are new to my channel my channel is all about helping you out with your mental health whether it's anxiety depression or PTSD or dealing with loved ones or friends and just navigating through life like make sure you subscribe and hit that notification bell because I do a ton of videos to help you out with your mental health and some of my recent videos have been on some controversies and things like that and trying to help you all like learn lessons from this to improve your mental health and like I've been meaning to make this video about Dayquan ever since I saw the TSM video over on their channel I'll link it in the description below and it's called Meet the TSM Dayquan so I'm a Fortnite player it's a great some great bonding time my son and I have is when we play Fortnite together it's awesome and I watch streamers and Dayquan is one of my favorite I don't know much about the guy but he's absolutely hilarious to watch but anyways I like that TSM does this by the way it's really cool because I'll link up in the info card if any of you are interested I used to be in the professional esports career industry right and I kind of ruined it but anyways if you want to check that out and hear my story go ahead and watch but I like how TSM is like letting us get to know their players like this but anyways it's so cool like man there's so much news out there just about like gaming this gaming that is bad for kids it's bad for that and like there was some controversy like last week about parents paying people to coach their kids in Fortnite and by the way let me tell you this over 10 years ago people were paying me to coach them and counters like this isn't something new um but anyways besides that like gaming is a great thing and I think it's beautiful especially like growing up with video games like it's it's beautiful that kids can do something that they love and actually like do it if they want to like for for their career like it's amazing and and the reason I say that because some of you are like yeah but how many are really going to become pros like I look at it in the same way you would look at like you know hockey or football or basketball like the thing about gaming is is like you don't need certain physical attributes to do it so it's much more realistic but anyways anyways getting back to the point of this video um Dayquan he he has this like W crew and like in the TSM Dayquan video he talks about how this is life philosophy and I really think it's beneficial so let's watch this clip and then we'll come back and we'll discuss that's the whole thing about like people you know I have like my W gang about the W key and how it's just like the W key moves you forward in a video game like for example you press W on a keyboard and moves your character forward in Fortnite and my W key is pretty much just like no matter what it is in life whatever you're going through you can press that W key you can get out of that situation you know the worst thing that you can do when you're sad or depressed or going through something is just to be alone you know just to not do anything just to sit in your room and do this or do that you know you really want to force yourself to move towards positivity all right so the first thing I want to say is like there's some really really good role models out there who are in the streaming community like really good role models so if you're paring out there you're like ah quit watching these streamers like like how often do you hear about these huge controversies with gamers like these big streamers from fortnight like you don't really hear it that much and that's like that's really cool because you hear drama about everybody else every five seconds so that's one thing but anyways I wanted to talk about this because yes yes yes yes like like for those of you who don't know and they want to explain this like the W key moves you forward okay you got WASD forward backwards left right and like I just thought like when he popped up like he was just like yeah always just be pushing be aggressive and stuff so when I heard this I'm like yeah man true that so like I want you guys to look at this and just think about moving forward in your life every single day every single day do something that moves you forward all right so for me personally for me personally I wake up every day every day with one goal just one goal just one all right every day I want to be a little bit better of a person than I was the day before that's it I don't put this huge expectation on myself so when we're talking about you moving forward and doing something to improve your life improve your mental health we're not talking about these massive leaps like oh become a business owner tomorrow become a millionaire tomorrow become this tomorrow no no no these tiny baby steps so like for me it's just like okay today how do I be a better father today than I was yesterday how do I be a better boyfriend today than I was yesterday how do I be a better son today than I was yesterday how do I be a better employee today than I was yesterday how do I be a better youtuber today than I was yesterday all these things like whatever it is I just try to look at one thing I assess my day and I'm like okay what can what's something I can improve on today all right and this is constantly moving me forward and like for all of you when I'm talking about these baby steps like you got to understand like even though you're not making these huge strides like little by little if you're doing this once a day every single day you you get this kind of equity built up and eventually you're just people start to notice people start to notice you're becoming a better person you're becoming in a better place so for you here's my suggestion here's my suggestion to you set up small goals to accomplish every single day and here's why science has proven okay that setting specific goals and accomplishing them increases the production of neurotransmitters in your brain neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine these are the things that make you happy this is a natural way to make you happy so set up very small goals I'll list some examples all right so every day say one nice thing about yourself every day write down five things that you're grateful for every day call one person and ask them how they're doing not to call them and complain about your problems but simply to ask them how they're doing like pick from any of these any of these things will help and that could be your goal okay so if you call that one person a day and ask them how they're doing it is guaranteed that you will feel better afterwards just by asking them how they're doing all right say positive affirmations do something for yourself gratitude lists I've talked about gratitude list a million times here's another goal and I'm gonna challenge you all to do this and I want you to come back to this video and let me know if you did it okay meditate for 10 minutes a day if you could do that goal I will just be oh it won't make me so so so happy and here's why I just read an article today which I will link down below Yale y'all ever heard about this place called Yale is a place where really smart people are Yale just released a study that people meditating for 10 minutes a day improve their cognitive functions and the beauty of this is it is not experienced meditators so we're talking just random people they took random people and just had them do guided meditations for 10 minutes a day they hooked them up to brain scanners and they saw improvements in their cognitive functions now you're saying but Chris what exactly are cognitive functions well I'm glad you asked cognitive functions come from a part of your brain right here in the front called the prefrontal cortex it's what separates us from the animals we're pretty smart people but the problem is a lot of us don't access this part of the brain as much as we should 10 minutes of meditation a day strengthens it think about it like doing a bicep curl for the prefrontal cortex but here's a list of some of the things that the prefrontal cortex does impulse control all right emotional regulation okay fear modulation attunement how you feel connected to other people here's a great one logical decision making so for example if you have poor impulse control and poor emotional regulation then you're probably not going to be that great at logical decision making all right so meditate for 10 minutes a day set that as your goal all right but anyways I just want to make this video and just talk about some positive stuff out there some things that you can do to just keep hitting that w key of life and moving forward even if it's hard even if it's challenging like I promise you just make baby steps and things will get better all right let's do this let's start a conversation below and let's let's let's talk about something that you're gonna try to do for the next week the one thing a day that you're going to do to keep moving forward all right let's hear it down in the comments below and let's talk all right and support each other I love that kind of stuff so much but that's all I got for you today so if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and if you're new here I'm always making videos to help you out with your mental health make sure you subscribe and hit that notification bell and a huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on patreon I love all of you all right if you want to check out some more videos on my channel you can click or tap right there thanks so much for watching keep moving forward today and I'll see you next time


Let me on behalf of the government and people of Nigeria once again welcome you to the eighth ordinary session of the Council of Ministers of the Great Green Wall of member countries. I'd like to express the profound gratitude of Nigeria to the Council of Ministers of the Great Green Wall Meeting, which at its seventh session held in Nwakshot, Mauritania, designated Nigeria to host the eighth ordinary session. And as if the privilege of hosting the eighth session of the Council of Ministers was not enough, a space at its margin has been created for a flag of a tree planting exercise to commemorate the event. Also, let me congratulate the executive secretary, Dr. Brimeside, on his election and commend him and his team at the secretariat for all their hard work and dedication. Nigeria believes that protecting our planet, its biodiversity and climate, are essential to our collective survival. The impact of climate change is upon us, all over the continent, drought and desertification, increasing conflicts over pasture and water, food insecurity, loss of livelihoods, and youth migration, among others, characterize the environment. We're especially facing a receding lychard, which means that fishing, dry seizing, farming, and all other associated value chain benefits are lost or greatly reduced. In these circumstances, we must build climate resilient economies that effectively align with the SDGs and that have great potentials for unlocking the full opportunities in different sectors of our economies, while protecting the resources for present and future generations. To tackle these and other associated challenges, Nigeria recently signed the Nigeria Agroclimatic Resilience in Semi-Arid Landscapes project with the World Bank. The project will increase the implementation of sustainable landscape management practices in northern Nigeria and strengthen the country's long-term enabling environment for integrated climate resilient landscape management. It's a six-year program worth $700 million, and it's a strategic project that prioritizes actions within four components. The first is dry land management, the second community climate resilience, then there's institutional strengthening and project management and contingency emergency response. Your excellencies, we must take every opportunity, and especially at meetings like this, to remind ourselves as African leaders and our development friends of what the Great Green Wall project is and what it is not. While the original vision was to create a wall of trees against desertification in the Sahel, in the Horn and across North Africa, the Great Green Wall today has a more ambitious reach. It is now a variety of sustainable land-use practices designed to combat climate change and desertification and to address food insecurity and poverty, extreme poverty. As important to emphasize, that for Africa, mitigation and adaptation methods for climate change must be mindful of the fact that Africa is confronted with twin challenges. The ravages of climate change, but perhaps more importantly, the existential problem of extreme poverty. Both, not one, must be addressed. This is why Nigeria's plans to attain net zero by 2060 and our energy transition plan also focus on how to creatively transit to net zero emissions and at the same time increase access to power and high agricultural and industrial output. With respect to forests, the point needs to be made clearly and perhaps more clearly. Africa's rainforests absorb no less than about 1.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide yearly. This is more than the Amazon or any other region's rainforests. So financing is needed to help preserve these vital carbon sinks. Because without viable alternative energy sources, much of the local population still depends on burning firewood for cooking and heating. So there's a need to provide sustainable energy alternatives and to compensate regional governments who in the interest of maintaining these carbon sinks for all of us have to forego deforestation for agriculture or industrialization. The Desennial Priority Investment Plan, DPIP 2021-2030, is an important pillar of the overall Great Green War project. The plan as you know is hinged on sustainable land management actions that emphasize ecosystem restoration, recovery and conservation of land and biodiversity social economic development activities, adaptation and resilience to climate change. The commitment of every nation will be important in meeting the deadline of the decade on ecosystem restoration agenda 2021-2030. I must commend the current initiatives by the International Technical and Financial Partners Institutions for pledging financial resources to support the implementation of the Great Green War initiative. The early disbursement of the funds or the pledged funds without stringent conditionalities would indeed see the transformation of our degraded ecosystems. I have in my capacity as President of the Conference of Heads of States and Governments of Member States, Director of the Honorable Minister of Finance of Nigeria to lead the initiative to access the pledged funds by our partners under the Great Green Wall Accelerator. The minister will take appropriate steps in line with the understandings we had at the Abidjan side meetings, which was held on May 9, 2022. Finally, on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria, in fulfilment of Nigeria's pledge to support the PAGGW, I've also directed the Federal Ministry of Environment to coordinate the release of some vehicles for the use of the Pan-African Agency of the Great Green War, said the Secretariat and Allied Agencies. Having also fulfilled the payment of our outstanding contribution of about 654,291 US dollars, I'm also glad to pledge the sum of 550,000 US dollars only as our contribution to the building of the Great Green Wall, to the building of the Great Green Wall Secretariat. I call on other member countries to follow suit by contributing towards the building of a befitting office for the PAGGW. Before I conclude, I'd like to pay special tribute to His Excellency, the former President of the Republic of Nigeria, Mohamed Uisufu, who has continued to work hard championing financial resource mobilisation for the implementation process of the Great Green War for Sahara and Sahel initiative. In a few minutes, I will be flagging of the 2022 tree planting campaign, and I hope that the state's governments will replicate the same across their various states, so that we can meet our pledge of planting 25 million trees in the next two years. It is now my very special pleasure and privilege to declare open the eighth ordinary session of the Council of Ministers of the PAGGW. Thank you very much.


Good morning, Hank. It's Tuesday. It's Question Tuesday, the day that I answer real questions from real nerdfighters. Let's get right to it. Do rich people have better Wi-Fi, or does Beyonce have to unplug her router sometimes? Interesting fact, money can buy you almost anything, but it cannot buy you freedom from Comcast. I'm pretty sure Beyonce has to reset her router just like the rest of us. How do I cope with the fact that there's no real meaning in life? Oh, man, I wish we could go back to Beyonce's question. So listen, maybe meaning in life is constructed by us rather than derived from some objective truth, but that doesn't make meaning not real. Okay, so you should always be suspicious of people who use metaphor to approach questions of meaning, however. Imagine you're walking through a forest one night, and you come to a clearing, and you find an eternal fire. It's the perfectly-sized fire, and it doesn't need anything from you. You don't have to put wood in it, it just burns and burns. And you can spend your whole life seeing by its light, and being warmed by it, and so on. I think that's an awesome fire, and if you find one, you should be grateful. But imagine that you don't. Imagine on your travels you never come across an eternal fire. In that case, you have to build a fire, and then find fuel to keep it going, and sometimes it'll go out, and you've gotta start a new fire. Now, in some ways that's worse, but in some ways it's better, because unlike the eternal fire, you understand how and why it works. Point being, I would argue the light and heat from both fires are equally real. Alright, that's all I got. No more questions about the meaning of life.  So when Sarah and I got married, we invited a somewhat famous person who shall remain nameless to our wedding. He wasn't like a close friend, but he was someone who'd had an important role in getting us together, and we thought it would be nice to invite him. So anyway, a couple weeks after the invitations come out, I get an email, and it begins, Of course I cannot come to your wedding. What do you mean, of course? Is there a less necessary, of course, in the history of the English language? Would not I cannot come to your wedding have sufficed? Anyway, he did buy us some wine glasses off our registry, which we still have, so thank you. Right, but to your question, of course we cannot come to your wedding. I'm kidding! If it's in Indianapolis and there's an open bar, we'll be there. Favorite fictional depiction of time travel? I like your implication that there are non-fictional depictions of time travel. Probably for me, back to the future, which has had kind of an outsize influence on my life. Is there gonna be another season of Crash Course Literature? Yeah, probably. What should we read? I wanna know everything about your new book. But sadly, I don't know everything about it, because it's not finished yet. Are you tired of people asking about your new book? No, it's nice that people care. I just wish I had something more to tell them. What's your favorite river? Definitely the White River here in Indianapolis. Even though Indianapolis is a city of a million people, the river is really beautiful and mostly deserted. Like, you can kayak for hours without seeing anyone. And the reason it's so beautiful is that it's basically a heavily polluted open sewer.  So it seems natural and pristine precisely because it is so unnatural and polluted. It's just a very metaphorically resonant river. Favorite online server to store and organize information? Nice try-hackers, but not this time. Do you like the number 53? It's probably in my top half of two-digit numbers. 43 is the best, though. Do you ever go by any nicknames? Well, some of my friends from high school still call me cuffs because I once said that Christian Slater never made a bad movie. Do thoughts mean consciousness? So like, I spend probably the majority of my free time thinking about whether I am actually comprised of my thoughts and to what extent the thoughts that are called mine actually belong to me, but I haven't come to any meaningful conclusions. Why have people become so obsessed with being right rather than developing richer ways of thinking? I don't know. I'm trying to practice saying I don't know more because it seems to me a really underutilized phrase. Hey, what's in the boxes behind you? I don't know. When's your new book gonna come out? I don't know. If your greatest hope and your greatest fear challenged each other to a duel, who would win?  I don't know. Hank, this I don't know stuff is amazing. The life-changing magic of I don't know. Hank, I will see you on Friday. Actually, I don't know for sure that I'm gonna see you on Friday, but I hope I do.


All nutrients come from the sun or the soil. Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, is created when skin is exposed to sunlight. Everything else comes from the ground. Minerals originate from the earth and vitamins from the plants and microorganisms that grow from it. The calcium in a cow's milk, in her 200-pound skeleton, came from all the plants she ate, which drew it up from the soil.  Where do you get your protein? Protein contains essential amino acids, meaning our bodies can't make them, and so are essential to get from our diet. But other animals don't make them either. All essential amino acids originate from plants and microbes, and all plant proteins have all essential amino acids. The only truly incomplete protein in the food supply is gelatin, which is missing the amino acid tryptophan. So the only protein source that you couldn't live on is Jell-O. As I covered previously, those eating plant-based diets average about twice the average requirement for protein. Those who don't know where to get protein on a plant-based diet don't know beans. Get it? What protein quantity, though? What about protein quality? The concept that plant protein was inferior to animal protein arose from studies performed on rodents more than a century ago. Scientists found that infant rats don't grow as well on plants, but infant rats don't grow as well on human breast milk either. So does that mean we shouldn't breastfeed our babies? Ridiculous. They're rats. Rat milk has 10 times more protein than human milk, because rats grow about 10 times faster than human infants. It's true that some plant proteins are relatively low in certain essential amino acids, so about 40 years ago, the myth of protein combining came into vogue. Literally, the February 75 issue of Vogue Magazine. The concept was that we needed to eat complementary proteins together, for example rice and beans, to make up for their relative shortfalls. This fallacy was refuted decades ago, the myth that plant proteins are incomplete, that plant proteins aren't as good, that one has to combine proteins and meals. These have all been dismissed by the nutrition community as myths decades ago. But many in medicine evidently didn't get the memo. Dr. John McDougal called out the American Heart Association for a 2001 publication that questioned the completeness of plant proteins. Thankfully though, they changed and acknowledged now that plant proteins can provide all the essential amino acids no need to combine complementary proteins.  It maintains pools of free amino acids that can be used to do all the complementing for us, not to mention the massive protein recycling program our body has. Some 90 grams of protein is dumped into the digestive tract every day from our own body to get broken back down and reassembled, so our body can mix and match amino acids to whatever proportions we need, whatever we eat, making it practically impossible to even design a diet of whole-plant foods that's sufficient in calories but deficient in protein. Thus, plant-based consumers do not need to be at all concerned about amino acid imbalances from the plant proteins that make up our usual diets.


on these types of place, and this is kind of what I've been seeing in this market, is that we get this amazing frontside run up and no one is long it. Everyone is, you know, maybe trying to shore or maybe they're fighting it, but I see a lot of people, no one's long it until we kind of top out. We pull back a little bit and that first pullback is when long start to get scared and short start shorting and you know that causes for it to kind of start going down. These bigger pullbacks are really not what you want to get long on. And I guess the reason being is because, you know, we, yes, we are going to have shorts covering into them, but most shorts are covering into these smaller pullbacks if they're trapped. Like if you have smaller pullbacks on the way up, that is telling me that, okay, yes, we have shorts trapped. Okay, yes, you know, we are in a situation where people aren't waiting to cover on a big dip. They're covering on a smaller dip because they're trapped. They want to get out right away. They don't care how big the dip is. That's when I really love, you know, longing into those kind of smaller dips, right. And again, so when we start to get up here, we're a bit distance from VWAP, we have a bit of a bigger dip, there's not really a line to go long off of, as opposed to here, maybe at 54, where we kind of have this kind of first bounce area situation as well as we have what looks like red to green. So when we have this kind of red to green move on volume, you know, that's going to make a lot of shorts stop out. When we have this kind of, you know, smaller dip action, you know, that plus the first bounce notch, you know, we have a lot of cause for demand. Whereas up here, most shorts are already out. I'm guessing the majority have already covered. And also we're in a situation where this isn't the first day of the move, right? We're a couple of days later in a situation like this. So we are going to have excess supply from people who are stuck bag holding this thing, right? So again, that's just kind of how I feel. You know, you got to be thinking like, where are shorts risk levels? Like, where are we going to get met with those breakout buyers, that excess demand, that reason for why people are forced to press the buy button, whereas opposed to here, it's like, it's not really a meaningful bounce for distance from VWAP, not something that I would want to get long on. Yeah, I'll just let that again right now. But Tom, you want to go in? Yeah, there's a couple things I want to go with this chart. You know, as a long buys, I mean, guys, you know, the stock went from 52 to 57. I mean, to me, it's way, way extended already for you to go long, right? So you probably missed the opportunity, okay? You know, like, basically don't chase. And I would be shorting into this and risking over this one instead of, you know, longing into the dip. And I think the long, like, the setup or like, you know, the point where I like the most is this one right at the open, okay? Stock broke this support, right? You know, pretty much after this, it should have bounced back here and then it should continue to go lower, right? That's usually what we see, right? But instead of, you know, kind of like, instead of it should, you know, have died down, it reclaimed back, overview app broke this high.  And they just want to get out basically. And this is exactly what I talked about in my latest video yesterday on the reverse channel. On the pre-market volume as that kind of excess supply. So in a situation like Excel, we didn't really have that, right? We didn't really have people who are trapped pre-market. And, you know, we're approaching over 570, anyone who's short is going to be dead. And I knew that. So, you know, I took a stab some 560, we started getting the volume, you know, we start moving and moving and moving. And, you know, that's what I kind of liked. You know, as far as this one, I'm not sure. I believe he went short here. He covered over the high, which is good. You know, that's good risk here. Obviously, FOMO short, right? Didn't wait for the pop. Just got back in short trying to make his money back. Now he ends up covering down here, but bit of trading on the fly, bit of emotional. And also the broken stocks are the stocks that are broken down, that were popular and are not anymore. This stock was never popular. It did not have the bag holder, nor did it have the attention. You can't rely on these stocks to pay you out as a short seller. You have to be looking for those stocks that are popular, that people are talking about it, eight o'clock in the main chat saying, oh, this is a potential hot check. This is a potential. This is a potential. This could run, or maybe it is a hot check that's broken down by the open, right? That has a ton of attention. That has those pre-market longs, you know, racing for the buy button, buying the high and chasing the tops, right? And by the time we open up, those people are now stuck. You know, there's a vast majority of people who get long these things pre-market.  Well, I'm not going to sell here because I don't want to waste a day trader. I don't want to waste this. They're making up all these excuses.  And that's where you get that supply as a short seller. And that's why we kind of get that broken down on this chart. We just don't have that. And you can't rely on those pre-market bag holders due to the fact that there are so few. So there's not really much supply here. There's a lot of demand here. And it's not a broken stock, right? So that's why I, that's my thoughts on this one. Tom? Yeah.  I mean, you could barely see the entries and exit, you know, from this chart. So you might want to use it, you know, a little bit bigger next time, medium or large so we can see it clearly. And yeah, regarding this trade, shorting here at 560 and again, right? I had a stuff right here immediately reclaim that to no, no. Okay. You don't want to be shorting into, I don't care if it pops back here or back into this line. I don't care. After that, I want to see what happens first, right? Ideally, after reclaim like that, if it fails right away, then yes, I will be shorting the bounds and continue to go lower. That's, you know, this trade, I don't like that much, but I like to stop. I mean, clearly he has a plan. So it's all good. Yeah. And this trade is really good too. I like this one because of this, you know, stuff candle, right? You see, after the stuff move, that person enters here and the stuff did not reclaim all the way back, right? Like only bounds halfway and it's continuing to go lower. Yes, I would say, you know, you might want to be patient a little bit with your exit. But if it was your plan to cover into this 560, 765 here, it's all good. So the second trade, I really like it. You know, the first one, not so much, but I like to stop.


My mother was the first in her family to come to the U.S. from Nicaragua. She was a single mom living paycheck to paycheck. The neighborhoods we lived in were on the border of poverty. Just not a lot of opportunity if you don't create it for yourself. I did well in school, despite the challenges. So I feel that I did my part. The hard work was put in. I was just waiting for the opportunity. And quite frankly, the opportunity was a Berkeley scholarship. My connection to Wilmer Fong begins back in my Cal days. Wilmer was very active in Berkeley scholarship programs. He, I believe, was also a selection committee member for the Berkeley scholarship I received. Well, I can trip from very beginning with the program because that fund is a full scholarship and Jerry won the recipient. As I left Cal, went on to med school, I lost connection with Wilmer. I came back to San Francisco for my dream job. I work at Kaiser San Francisco. I'm a cardiologist, and that's where Wilmer and I reconnected. I told my primary doctor I wanted to change my cardiologist. He said, oh, you can do that. Here's a list. I looked at it. This name is familiar, Jerry Ariano. Hey, what a small word. So I got an appointment. I got to see him here. I have a very serious illness. I might die then here and return somebody's saving me.  As his care provider, my goal has been to allow Wilmer to live the life that he wants, to partake in the activities that he continues to enjoy. My father did a lot of that community work and he drummed into our kids, always giving back as I believe in that firmly and why I can contribute to the school in terms of scholarship or that while I'm willing to do it. It's people like Wilmer Fong who have led me to contribute and donate to scholarships that I believe in.


I'm happy to be joined here today by Ministers Anand, Haidu and Leblanc, as well as by Dr. Tam and Dr. New. There's a lot to cover today, so let's get right to it. First, I'd like to start by making an update on vaccines. This morning, Health Canada has authorized the Janssen vaccine against COVID-19. It's a very good news. I take this opportunity to remind you that Canada has an independent examination process that is recognized on an international scale. When a vaccine is approved by Health Canada, it means that the best experts have concluded that it is safe and secure. This morning, Health Canada authorized the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. This is a single-dose vaccine. It can be stored and transported at regular refrigerated temperatures from two to eight degrees Celsius, which makes it easier to distribute across the country. As with all of the other vaccines we have secured, we're working to get doses to Canadians as quickly as possible. Canada has an agreement with Johnson & Johnson for 10 million doses of this Janssen vaccine between now and September. This morning, I spoke with Jorge Bartolome, the President of Janssen Canada. He told me that they are committed to getting the full order of doses to Canada, and they're working on setting up global supply chains as quickly as possible. There are now four safe and effective vaccines approved by independent regulators in Canada. We have agreements with all four companies making these doses, and we also have agreements with three additional companies for their potential vaccines. Today, we also have some great news to share about Pfizer vaccine shipments. Pfizer has informed us that we are able to move up the delivery of three-and-a-half million doses from the summer into the next couple of months. Pfizer will be delivering an additional one-and-a-half million doses to Canada this March, moving deliveries ahead of schedule. We'll also be getting another million doses ahead of schedule in both April and May. For months, we've been committing to you that we'll get six million doses total of COVID vaccines by the end of March. Well, because of the hard work of Minister Anand and the whole team, with these accelerated Pfizer deliveries, we'll now be getting eight million doses by the end of March. In total, we can now expect 12.8 million doses from April to June from Pfizer alone. This week, Canada received a total of nearly one million doses of vaccine against COVID-19. Next week, it's nearly another million doses that will arrive. Today, I can announce that Pfizer will move ahead with the delivery of three-and-a-half million doses that were scheduled for the summer. This means that in March, we'll receive one-and-a-half million additional doses. And we'll also receive one million doses additional per month, rather than scheduled, for April and May. For months, we've been telling you that Canada will receive a total of six million doses by the end of March. Well, Minister Anand continues to work very hard with the whole team, and now we're getting eight million doses by the end of March. From Pfizer alone, we're expecting to receive 12.8 million doses between April and June. Every day, in the country, there are more and more grandparents who call their children to tell them how happy they are to be vaccinated. To the health workers who have been working hard to get vaccinated, it's been a year that you're getting your hands back to fight the pandemic, and now you're helping Canadians get their hands back to finish it off with the pandemic. I want to thank you. There are millions of doses that are coming, so let's continue to work together as quickly as possible. As long as it takes, we'll be there with what people need to get through the pandemic. That means we're sending more and more vaccines to the provinces and territories in the coming weeks and months. It also means we're continuing to support everyone, from families and small businesses to scientists and research staff. This week, we took another step forward for Canadian research with an investment of $518 million through the Canada Foundation for Innovation. More than ever, this past year has shown just how essential it is to continue supporting science and innovation here in Canada. Last May, we invested to provide a salary support to research staff, research universities, and health research establishments. These employees were not eligible for the emergency salary subsidy from Canada, and it was important for us to help them. This investment was also intended to support research projects by helping to cover additional costs for COVID-19. Today, I can share that these measures allow us to maintain nearly 32,000 people working in our universities and our health research institutes. Moreover, about 22,000 research projects have received help thanks to this program, whether it's to maintain their essential activities during the pandemic or to accelerate the cadence and catch up with the lost time from the opening. From the fight against cancer to the fight against climate change, the work of our researchers is essential. They help to improve the life of Canadians and make our economy grow, and our government will always be there to support science and the scientific community. Speaking of building a better, stronger future for everyone, I also want to talk about what we're doing to modernize public transit. No one likes to be stuck in traffic. Better public transit connects communities and helps people get around in faster, cleaner, and cheaper ways. Yesterday, Minister McKenna and Minister Champagne announced that we are investing $2.75 billion for zero-emission buses, charging infrastructure, and other electrification projects across the country. This is part of the unprecedented commitment we made last month of almost $15 billion for new public transit projects over the next eight years. Not only will investments like this help us exceed our 2030 target, not only will this put us squarely on the path to net zero by 2050, but these investments will also help create good jobs and grow the economy. Yesterday, I made a virtual visit to the Novabus factory in Saint-Eustache, which manufactures zero-emission buses. Their long-range electric buses can travel up to 470 km with only one charge. Recently, the transport network of Vancouver City has chosen them to add 15 zero-emission buses to their fleet. The purchase of these buses has been made possible with direct support from the federal government. This is a good example that shows that working together, from one ocean to another, we can make our systems of cleaner, more efficient, and more modern public transit systems. In 165 years, our government is committed to putting 5,000 zero-emission buses on the road to transport Canadians. Investing in transit and infrastructure means clean air for our cities and good-paying middle-class jobs for Canadians. We not only have the manufacturing capacity here at home, but we have the materials used in today's battery technology, whether it's aluminum in Quebec or nickel in Ontario. When we build a sustainable future while growing the economy, everybody wins. There's still a lot of work to do to fight climate change and build a green economy that works for everyone, so we will continue to take real action for our workers and for our kids. Finally, I want to recognize that it's been almost a year now since COVID-19 was officially declared a global pandemic. At times, I know it feels like just yesterday, although most of the time it probably feels like a lifetime ago. This last year hasn't been easy, but we are going to get through this. This week alone, almost 400,000 Canadians got a COVID-19 shot. Next week, it'll be the turn of hundreds of thousands more. The people watching at home right now who are looking forward to getting their shot, your turn is coming. Millions of doses are on the way, deliveries have been ramping up, and they'll ramp up even more in April. We will continue to work around the clock to make sure Canadians get vaccinated as quickly as possible.
