Consider This from NPR - Vaccine Trials Point To December Doses, ‘Light At The End Of The Tunnel’

Data from two leading COVID-19 vaccine trials indicate they may be between 90 and 95% effective. Dr. Moncef Slaoui, the chief scientist in charge of the U.S. government's vaccine development program, Operation Warp Speed, tells NPR he's optimistic there is "a light at the end of the tunnel."

Dr. Anthony Fauci told NPR the results are worth celebrating — but that they should not be seen as a signal to pull back on public health measures. He also said the first vaccine doses may be available next month.

But it will still be months longer before any vaccine is widely available. Two former government health officials — Scott Gottlieb and Andy Slavitt — tell NPR that in the meantime, the pandemic is could kill 200,000 more Americans.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: HODL FOMO vs. Speculative FOMO – Why This Bitcoin Bull Market Will Be Different

As bitcoin crosses $17,000 it’s not retail speculation but a new, long-term investor mindset driving the price up. 

This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com and Nexo.io.

Today on the Brief:

  • Tesla to join S&P 500
  • Airbnb files for IPO 
  • The Mooch wants crypto 


Our main discussion: HODL FOMO vs. Speculative FOMO.

The 2017-2018 bull run was driven by ICO mania and a relentless get-richism that was nothing if not short-term. As bitcoin passes $17,000 and questions of looming all-time highs start to make their way into mainstream press, it is a very new set of actors and a new set of thinking that is driving this movement.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Election of 1800

I’ve done several episodes on close and interesting US presidential elections throughout history. Mainly they were to put current events into perspective, so you can realize that the controversies of today are really not all that new. However, there was one election that might be considered the closest and most interesting in history, but the lessons for today are much less, simply because they changed the rules after the election, and there was never another one like it again.

Time To Say Goodbye - Asians are white again, pandemic rage, what to expect from Biden, and mega free trade

Hello from White House transition headquarters!

This week: literal housekeeping, “students of color” and “students of poverty,” coronavirus nightmares, how not to expect too much from Biden, and a Southeast Asian trade deal.

4:30 – Dads Jay and Andy review right-wing children’s books.

9:30 – Asians get lumped in as white again—this time, in the Thurston County, WA public schools. Why does this keep happening, and why do we care? Should the left abandon race-based sorting and affirmative action?

30:20 – The coronavirus is spiking all over the country. Why aren’t we talking about it more? Will Biden do better than Trump did?

38:45 – Student debt, the climate catastrophe, foreign policy, immigration, labor rights… What can we expect from Biden?

55:30 – Tammy’s “What you should know” corner: the ASEAN+5 Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Is it a big deal or not? How does it compare to the TPP and the CPTPP? And when will we Americans have the energy to start caring about stuff like this again? Plus: Jay promises to manage Tammy’s Fox News career.
