The warning signs behind WIRED’s 2014 Elizabeth Holmes interview

WIRED looks back at its 2014 Elizabeth Holmes Q&A, saying staff saw warning signs, including a lack of published peer-reviewed data, but struggled to validate Theranos’ blood-testing claims. The interviewer says she was not allowed to follow her sample and found a Walgreens booth not in service. Her test results matched a recent panel, which seemed reassuring at the time. She now says the story helped promote Holmes.
