- By Bilal Hafeez
This is an edited transcript of our 100th podcast episode with Greg Zuckerman, a Special Writer at The Wall Street Journal. He is the author of A Shot to Save the World: The Inside Story of the Life-or-Death Race for a COVID-19 Vaccine. The book has been optioned by HBO for a series from Academy Award winning director Adam McKay. In the podcast we discuss, why it was outsiders and not Big Pharma that developed the vaccine, how the vaccine was developed so quickly, what made Jim Simons the top investor of all-time, and much more. While we have tried to make the transcript as accurate as possible, if you do notice any errors, let me know by email.
