Stream now for free.  Rolling out the vaccineThe world hit a turning point this week in the fight against Covid-19, which has killed more than 1.5 million people. The U.K. began vaccinating its citizens with the elderly and health workers first in line. And then? In the short run, it doesn't matter, said Arthur Caplan, a professor at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine on Take Geo. "The issue isn't who's going first, the issue is are places going to be able to administer this darn vaccine."
Quickly shipping mass quantities of shots while contending with cold storage temps raises an unprecedented supply-chain challenge. "It's logistically going to be harder than I think people think," Caplan said. The U.S. plans to distribute 2.9 million doses of Pfizer's vaccine, once OK'd. On Thursday, FDA advisers voted that the shot's benefits outweigh its risks, bringing it one step closer to authorization.—Andrew Mach What to watch if...you love a good brain teaser.
