In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt Calling Out the Anti-Vaccine Bully (with Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot)
Andy calls up Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who is in the middle of a nasty battle over vaccine mandates with, most notably, the city's largest police union. Andy asks Mayor Lightfoot why she thinks the union president is really picking this fight with her, how she plans to get through to city workers who aren't complying with the mandate, and where the opposing sides go from here.
