Can we avoid cutting corners with COVID-19?

We want to put out the fire.

A mysterious deadly virus that wreaks havoc on people’s lives, already responsible for killing over 320k people globally, is destroying our economy. Supply chains are disrupted. Families are hurting. Jobs are disappearing.

Who wouldn’t want to make this crisis disappear as fast as possible? Who wouldn’t be willing to try anything to put Americans’ minds at ease?

We, humans, are in an emotional place as a whole right now, our decision-making skills not operating as they usually do. Which is exactly why we need to make sure we don’t cut corners with COVID-19.

This is the kind of psychological environment when we are susceptible to making poor decisions.

Should we be concerned that our current climate of urgency may lead to cutting corners, fraud, or negligence in the race to a COVID-19 vaccine?

“The Dangers of Expediting Biotech” with Theranos Whistleblower Tyler Shultz

Tyler Shultz is an entrepreneur fostering innovation in healthcare. He graduated from Stanford with a Biology degree and entered the national scene when he courageously blew the whistle at Theranos. Tyler complained to the public health regulators in New York and was a source for a series of Wall Street Journal articles exposing Theranos’ dubious blood-testing practices. Owing to his role in exposing the fraud, Shultz was featured in “Bad Blood,” the book about the scandal penned by John Carreyrou, the original author of the Wall Street Journal articles, as well as in Alex Gibney’s HBO documentary “The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley.”
