The First Shots: The Epic Rivalries and Heroic Science Behind the Race to the Coronavirus Vaccine - Hardcover
Synopsis
<P><b>The full inside story of the high-stakes, global race for the lifesaving vaccine to end the pandemic</b><BR /><BR /> Heroic science. Chaotic politics. Billionaire entrepreneurs. Award-winning journalist Brendan Borrell brings the defining story of our times alive through compulsively readable, first-time reporting on the players leading the fight against a vicious virus. <i>The First Shots</i> draws on exclusive, high-level access to weave together the intense vaccine-race conflicts among hard-driving, heroic scientists and the epic rivalries among Washington power players that shaped 18 months of fear, resolve, and triumph.<BR /><BR /> From infectious disease expert Michael Callahan, an American doctor secretly on the ground in Wuhan in January 2020 to gauge the terrifying ravages of Disease X; to Robert (Dr. Bob) Kadlec, one of Operation Warp Speed’s architects, whose audacious plans for the American people run straight into the buzz saw of the Trump White House factions; to Stéphane Bancel of upstart Moderna Therapeutics going toe-to-toe with pharma behemoth Pfizer, <i>The First Shots</i> lays bare, in a way we have not seen, the full stunning story behind the medical science “moon shot” of our lifetimes.</P>
