This Whistleblower Exposed Theranos’ Life-Threatening Ruse

Remember the name Theranos? It was touted as a revolutionary blood-testing start-up--until 2018, when it came crashing down and its founder, Elizabeth Holmes, was charged with fraud. Tyler Shultz worked at the company before becoming a whistleblower about the technology, which didn't actually work. He joins Hari to discuss lessons learned as it relates to the hunt for a COVID-19 vaccine.
