Is the World Ready to Be Vaccinated?

Tuesday, May 4, 2021

Is the world ready to be vaccinated? Though the developing world grapples with disparity in access to vaccine supplies, the Gallup World Poll asked people in 116 countries and areas whether they would get a COVID-19 vaccine if it were available at no cost. More than 1 billion people say they wouldn't.

America's economy continues to turn the corner, with U.S. economic confidence back in the green for the first time since the pandemic started. Americans are also feeling more positive about their own personal finances. We take a special look at Black investors in the U.S., their financial goals and style of investing. I also talk with entrepreneur and tech investor Christopher Schroeder on The Gallup Podcast about what the U.S. doesn't understand about China when it comes to local innovation in a global market.

Finally, as the U.S. prepares to pull troops out of Afghanistan and 10 years since the killing of Osama bin Laden, we take a look back at how Americans and Pakistanis viewed the operation that took him out.

Lead and Thrive,
