How they did it... the COVID19 Vaccine

Published: Dec. 7, 2020, 11:30 a.m.

b'Coming up today, a feel good story in a year where, let\\u2019s be real, there\\u2019s been a lot of bad. The story of a husband and wife doctor team who have spearheaded the leading vaccine for COVID-19.

You\\u2019ll often hear me say on the podcast, that opportunity is borne out of threat. The work of Doctors Ugur Sahin and Ozlem Tureci, the two driving forces behind the leading COVID-19 vaccine, is the poster child of how anyone can take incredible, existential, and in this case \\u2013 global, once in a generational, threat \\u2013 and respond through life changing, and life saving, opportunity chasing.

On today\\u2019s episode, I\\u2019ll explore how Doctors Sahin and Tureci formulated the COVID-19 vaccine.
