Russia’s Covid Vaccine; IBM’s Ginni Rometty & New York Jobs CEO Council

Vladimir Putin announced that Russia has approved the world’s first Covid-19 vaccine, and that it has already been administered to one of his daughters. Without data on safety or efficacy, the rest of the world is speculating on the veracity and implications of the announcement. Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb explains why human vaccine trials are time consuming but necessary. The newly minted New York Jobs CEO Council consists of leaders from 27 NY-based companies and aims to bridge the gap between City of New York education and NYC corporate job opportunities. IBM’s Executive Chairman and former CEO Ginni Rometty and the Council’s Executive Director Gail Mellow are leading the initiative, and share why this work may be the key to combating racial and economic injustice in the area. Plus, college sports may be at a standstill. The Mid-American Conference has postponed Fall sports, and players, fans, and universities debate whether other leagues should follow.
