Summary of Dr. Albert Bourla's Moonshot

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 I was invited to join a meeting with other leading pharmaceutical and public health scientists on March 2 in the White House Cabinet Room. I was in Europe to deliver a keynote speech at the Delphi Economic Forum, and I had asked our head of research and development, Mikael Dolsten, to attend.

#2 The world started to change as the virus spread. The forum I had been invited to speak at, the Delphi Economic Forum, was suddenly and urgently postponed. For me this triggered a major alarm, and I decided to return home early.

#3 I knew that in 2012, we had tested some molecules against MERS that had good antiviral activity. Maybe we could test them against the new coronavirus.

#4 The Purpose Circle is a meeting room at Pfizer’s headquarters near the United Nations building in New York City. It was named after the company’s purpose, which is to breakthroughs that change patients’ lives. Each executive has hung photographs of patients who have inspired them to remember the importance of the decisions they make.
