Episode description

As coronavirus cases spike in hot spots across the country, biopharmaceutical companies race to find a vaccine. Moderna Therapeutics has secured an additional $472 million in government funding to develop its own vaccine candidate, which begins phase 3 human trials today. Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel discusses the vaccine development and addresses concerns about his executive team’s lucrative and unscheduled stock sales over the past six months. The Harlem Children’s Zone is going national with its efforts to provide communities with holistic Covid-19 relief. President Geoffrey Canada and CEO Kwame Owusu-Kesse discuss the disproportionate effect the pandemic has had on Black communities, and share their approach to scaling relief efforts from NYC to six other cities across the US.
