The dramatic story of the married scientists who founded BioNTech and developed the first vaccine against the COVID-19 pandemic. Nobody thought it was possible. In mid-January 2020, Ugur Sahin told Özlem Türeci, his wife and decades-long research partner, that a vaccine against what would soon be known as COVID-19 could be developed and safely injected into the arms of millions before the end of the year. His confidence was built upon almost thirty years of research. While working to revolutionize the way that cancerous tumors are treated, the couple had explored a volatile and overlooked molecule called messenger RNA; they believed it could be harnessed to turn the human body into its own pharmacy. As the founders of BioNTech, they faced widespread skepticism from the scientific community at first; but by the time Sars-Cov-2 was discovered in Wuhan, BioNTech was prepared to deploy cutting edge technology and create the world’s first approved inoculation for the coronavirus. The Vaccine draws back the curtain on one of the most important medical breakthroughs of our age; it will reveal how Doctors Sahin and Türeci were able to develop twenty vaccine candidates within weeks, convince Big Pharma to support their ambitious project, navigate political interference from the Trump administration and the European Union, and manage to provide more than two billion doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine to countries around the world in record time. Written by Joe Miller—the Financial Times’ Frankfurt correspondent who covered BioNTech’s COVID-19 project in real time—with contributions from Sahin and Türeci, as well as interviews with more than 50 scientists, politicians, public health officials, and BioNTech staff, the book covers key events throughout the extraordinary year, as well as exploring the scientific, economic, and personal background of each medical innovation. Crafted to be both completely accessible to the average reader and filled with details that will fascinate seasoned microbiologists, The Vaccine explains the science behind the breakthrough, at a time when public confidence in vaccine safety and efficacy is crucial to bringing an end to this pandemic.

The Vaccine

Uğur Şahin

Uğur Şahin und Özlem Türeci, Wissenschaftler und Mitgründer von BioNTech, haben den weltweit ersten zugelassenen Covid-19-Impfstoff entwickelt – und damit Medizingeschichte geschrieben. Der Financial Times-Journalist Joe Miller hat die beiden seit März 2020 begleitet und erzählt ihre Geschichte von den ersten Stunden des Kampfes gegen Covid-19 bis zur Zulassung des Impfstoffs. Miller beschreibt, wie Şahin und Türeci mit einem kleinen internationalen Team von Spezialisten in kürzester Zeit 20 Impfstoff-Kandidaten hergestellt haben, wie sie große Pharmaunternehmen überzeugt haben, ihre Arbeit zu unterstützen, wie sie Verhandlungen mit der EU und der US-Regierung führten und wie sie es mit BioNTech als kleinem Mainzer Unternehmen schafften, mehr als zwei Milliarden Impfdosen zu produzieren. Neben Şahin und Türeci hat Miller mit über 50 Wissenschaftlern, Politikern und Mitarbeitern von BioNTech über diese einmalige und unvergessliche Zeit gesprochen: über ihre Erfahrungen, ihre Herausforderungen und den Triumph. Das Buch zeigt, wie die beiden Wissenschaftler auf 30 Jahre Forschung an der neuartigen mRNA-Technologie aufbauen konnten, um einen Ausweg aus der Corona-Pandemie zu finden. Und es teilt die Vision der Mediziner, mit der mRNA-Technologie Therapien gegen viele andere Krankheiten wie Krebs, HIV oder Tuberkulose zu finden. Eine beeindruckende Geschichte zweier außergewöhnlicher Menschen.

In US of AA, Miller shares the never-before-told story of how in the aftermath of prohibition America's top scientists helped launch a movement that would give rise to a multi-million-dollar treatment industry and a new government agency devoted to alcoholism that has made available millions of dollars for research. Despite the fact that this research showed that alcoholism is a complex disease requiring an array of treatment strategies, among which Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is one of the least effective, money continued to flow to treatment facilities using approaches similar to AA. Five years in the making, his brilliant, in-depth investigative reporting into the history, politics and science of alcoholism will show how AA became our nation's de facto treatment policy, even as evidence for more effective remedies accumulated. US of AA is a character-driven, beautifully written exposé, full of secrecy, irony, liquor industry money, the shrillest of scare tactics and, at its center, a grand deception. In the tradition of Crazy by Pete Earley, and David Goldhill's Catastrophic Care, US of AA shines a much-needed spotlight on the addiction treatment industry. It will forever change the way we think about the entire enterprise.

In the aftermath of Prohibition, America's top scientists joined forces with AA members and put their clout behind a campaign to convince the nation that alcoholism is a disease. They had no proof, but they hoped to find it once research money came pouring in. The campaign spanned decades, and from it grew a multimillion-dollar treatment industry and a new government agency devoted to alcoholism. But scientists' research showed that problem drinking is not a singular disease but a complex phenomenon requiring an array of strategies. There's less scientific evidence for the effectiveness of AA than there is for most other treatments, including self-enforced moderation, therapy and counseling, and targeted medications; AA's own surveys show that it doesn't work for the overwhelming majority of problem drinkers. Five years in the making, Joe Miller's brilliant, in-depth investigative reporting into the history, politics, and science of alcoholism shows exactly how AA became our nation's de facto treatment policy, even as evidence accumulated for more effective remedies—and how, as a result, those who suffer the most often go untreated. US of AA is a character-driven, beautifully written exposé, full of secrecy, irony, liquor industry money, the shrillest of scare tactics, and, at its center, a grand deception. In the tradition of Crazy by Pete Earley and David Goldhill's Catastrophic Care, US of AA shines a much-needed spotlight on the addiction treatment industry. It will forever change the way we think about the entire enterprise.
