Chief Information Security officer, meredith harper. Welcome, and over to you. Thanks very much, john. Its nice to see you, even virtually. So, today, you have everyones bio.

But what theyre going to offer us, i think, is a way to look at the year, and back at the year in a context of cyber and health care, and give us a little bit different way to look at the latest efforts to get the vaccine out to the public.
