Dr. Scott Gottlieb & the CDC Reorg; Walter Isaacson & the Other Side of Elon Musk 8/18/22

After internally reviewing its own response to the covid-19 pandemic, the CDC has concluded, there’s room for the agency to improve. Director Rochelle Walensky has announced her plan to restructure the CDC, and in so doing to improve future responses and to rebuild public trust in the organization. Dr. Scott Gottlieb examines the road ahead for the CDC and Washington’s role in improving it. While Wall Street and Twitter still reel from the latest Elon Musk antics, biographer and Tulane professor Walter Isaacson details the little-seen side of the quirky billionaire; as he writes Musk’s biography, Isaacson reveals that there’s much more to Tesla’s CEO than his tweets. Plus, we’re decrypting the Federal Reserve’s July minutes and unpacking the roller coaster trades for Bed Bath & Beyond and other meme stocks this week.
