Vaxxers: The Inside Story of the Oxford AstraZeneca Vaccine and the Race Against the Virus
The inside story of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine, from two of the leading scientists who created it.
Beyond the vaccines:
It seems to me that there are three broad areas that limited our response to Covid-19, and that we need to improve in order to be in a better place the next time: infrastructure (including research and manufacturing), systems (including surveillance, stockpiling and travel bans) and global cooperation and collaboration. The solutions are not necessarily cheap or easy: but nor is dealing with a pandemic. We invest heavily in armed forces and intelligence and diplomacy to defend against wars. In the same way, we need to invest in pandemic preparedness to defend against pandemics.
