Vaccines & Voting with Merck CEO; Tech & Politics on the Hill
About this episode
Ken Frazier, CEO of drug maker Merck, maps out his timeline for a coronavirus vaccine as cases continue to rise around the world. In a conversation with Yale School of Management’s Jeff Sonnenfeld, Frazier discusses the duty CEOs have to encourage voting, civility, and faith in the democratic process. Politics took precedence at big tech’s big (virtual) day on Capitol Hill. Former White House Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra and CNBC’s Ylan Mui break down Jack Dorsey’s, Mark Zuckerberg’s, and Sundar Pichai’s four hour hearing before the Senate Commerce Committee. Plus, less than a week before the Presidential election with no end to the Covid pandemic in sight, the markets are struggling to find steady ground.
