Throughout the book, Zuckerman reveals the behind-the-scenes action that took place in laboratories, boardrooms, and government offices as researchers, scientists, and policymakers raced against time to develop a safe and effective vaccine to combat the deadly virus.
The book also sheds light on the key players in the development of the vaccine, including scientists from pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson, as well as government officials from the United States, Europe, and Asia.
