As I did last month I am talking to Craig Joseph, MD (@CraigJoseph) Chief Medical Officer at Nordic Consulting Partners. We kick off discussions with politics since the presidential election is finally upon us. You can hear my prediction (which could be proved entirely wrong) and hear Craig’s prediction – that we will not have the final results for the election for days. He reminds us of the infamous hanging chads from the 2000 election (Craig was in Florida for that election night).
Craig tells us that he has often been confused as George Clooney – you decide
And my claim to fame on this subject connects me with Gordon Ramsay
We discuss the sad story of a young frontline doctor who volunteered for the vaccine trial but died
A volunteer in Brazil's trial of AstraZeneca's experimental coronavirus vaccine has died, the Brazilian health agency Anvisa has announced. Yet the trial is set to continue.
It was not clear whether the volunteer received the vaccine or a placebo shot. https://t.co/Dkba8IymeF

As we discuss the actual news was much different from the ongoing collection of headlines (he received the placebo in the vaccine trial) and how the news headlines do not represent the news.
