Moderna and federal agencies collaborated to bring out a Covid-19 vaccine as quickly as possible. Their ups and downs are instructive. Peter Loftus, author of The Messenger, shares in this WSJ piece.
In late 2019, just weeks before the world heard of Covid-19, scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases visited the new manufacturing plant of a small, 9-year-old biotechnology company called Moderna . The company’s leaders boasted that the new plant in Norwood, Mass., could make a batch of a newly designed vaccine in 60 days—rapid by standard timelines that usually take 12 months or more.
The initial target was a deadly virus called Nipah that can cause fever and breathing difficulty. But then the new coronavirus emerged in China. The stopwatch drill morphed into an urgent, real-world effort. “We viewed it as a proof of concept,” John Mascola, then-director of the NIAID vaccine-research center, said later.
