Summary

Albert Bourla recounts Pfizer’s work during the development and manufacture of a Covid-19 vaccine in 2020. His account focuses on the organization, its scientists and decisions made under unusual time pressure.

This is the company leader’s account of a demanding project. It offers a perspective on coordination and judgment, rather than an independent assessment of every scientific or commercial claim.
