Show Notes

Loretto Hospital went from administering Chicago’s first COVID-19 vaccine last December to being cut off from the city’s supply in scandal. Hospital officials are investigating whether a top executive was funneling vaccine doses to ineligible people at Trump tower, a luxury watch shop, and a Gold Coast steakhouse. Now, the exec has resigned, and West Siders in the hospital’s neighborhood are feeling left in the lurch. Jacoby talks with Block Club Chicago’s Kelly Bauer, who initially broke the Loretto story, and The Triibe’s Matt Harvey, who’s been out talking to people in Austin.

Guests: Kelly Bauer, Breaking News Editor, Block Club Chicago (@BauerJournalism)
