The Vaccine: Inside the Race to Conquer the COVID-19 Pandemic by Ugur Sahin, Özlem Türeci, Joe Miller

4.0

Brilliant!

Much like Vaxxers — the book by Sarah Gilbert and Catherine Green about their development of the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine — The Vaccine is a great read. Thoroughly written and exceptionally well researched and referenced, Joe Miller gives an inside look at the development of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine — the world’s first mRNA vaccine. Miller explains the science clearly and enthusiastically, and much of the book is composed of direct conversations with the scientists who produced the vaccine — husband and wife Ozlem Tureci and Ugur Sahin — and their team. The Vaccine is enthralling throughout, and is written, refreshingly for pop-sci, without any unnecessary frills and flourishes.

Although a great read for anyone, it is an absolute must-read for the vaccine-hesitant or the anti-vaxxers.
