Today, he's here with an important message for all Utahns. KEITH McMULLIN Adversity is formative but never permanent. It is part of Utah's rich legacy, building individuals and families emboldened by what they have endured and strengthening communities through courage and service. We have seen this throughout the coronavirus where Utah has been a model of what's possible -- focusing on protecting health while keeping our economy open. Together, we've come close to prevailing over one of the most devasting pandemics in our nation's history. Now, we need to “Bring It Home!” We need to avoid a possible resurgence of COVID-19 in the fall, and to do this the State has set the goal to have 70% of us over the age of 18 vaccinated by July 4th. We can do this! Currently, 63% have already received the vaccination, and the Salt Lake Chamber is partnering with the Utah Department of Health to help businesses support employees in protecting themselves and their families. You can learn more about the program at coronavirus.utah.gov or by contacting your local chamber of commerce. Having 70% of adults vaccinated by Independence Day will keep our families and businesses safe, and we've come a long way to make that goal a reality. Now, “Let's Bring It Home!” Originally Aired: June 24, 2021.

Recently, the Deseret News and Deseret Management Corporation hosted an event at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., titled, "Integrity and Trust: Lessons from Watergate and Today." Some questioned us for convening a conversation on the principles of integrity, trust and truth in our nation’s capital – especially in a day when debates are rarely about principles and policy but are instead about fake news, alternate facts, deceptive internet influence, half-truths, bold lies and countless shades of morally relative gray. At the Deseret News we felt it was exactly the right place for this conversation to begin. Hear highlights from our event with legendary reporter Bob Woodward, Elder D. Todd Christofferson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Pew Research Center president Michael Dimock on this special edition of, Therefore, What?
