NPR's Tamara Keith reports on the growing pressure for the Biden administration to step up its vaccine diplomacy.
NPR's Lauren Frayer tours the largest vaccine factory in the world's top vaccine producing-country, India — a country poised for an even bigger role in global vaccine distribution. You can see photos and more from her report on the Serum Institute of India here.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Visa Just Supercharged Stablecoin Legitimacy
Visa officially enables USDC as a native currency and means of settlement.
This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io and Casper.
Today’s episode of “The Breakdown” is an extended brief with five different topics:

- “Green” bitcoin mining
- Square’s CFO thinks all companies should hold bitcoin in their treasuries
- Crypto M&A doubles in 2020
- Visa announces USDC as settlement currency
