The Shots Heard Around The World- Pfizer and The Vaccine

BONUS EPISODE with Gautam Gupta, SVP Head of Strategy & Consulting, Pfizer is the first in a bonus series where we discuss and dissect important current events. Gautam chats with me about Covid ‘D-Day’ (December 14th, 2020), the preparation leading up to the first day the vaccine was distributed, some of the logistics behind the scenes, and how the past nine months have been within the walls of Pfizer.

I ask him about the clinical trials this past year and how they were unique, the things that we don’t quite understand about the vaccine, what he would say to people that may be hesitant to trust the science of a new vaccine, and his personal prediction of how 2021 will look.

We also travel through his own journey with Pfizer and how the company has become known for its innovation and for becoming a more science-driven company over the past decade.

Quick Note- this is the first time I have published an episode without any edits due to time constraints regarding the content. Please excuse mistakes or sound issues.
