What news happened over the holidays? Why will pharma CEOs be greeted warmly in San Francisco next week? And who will buy Revolution Medicines?

We discuss all that and more on this week’s episode of “The Readout LOUD,” STAT’s weekly biotech podcast. We bring on former co-host Damian Garde, who’s now a reporter at large at STAT, to preview the upcoming J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. We also discuss the approval of Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy pill, the federal government’s move to slash the number of recommended pediatric immunizations, and the resurgence of M&A deals.
