Plus, storytelling in the 21st century
| | March 20, 2025 | | | Are We Ready for Pandemic X?
| | Given what we learned from the global turbulence from COVID-19, are we any more prepared for the next pandemic? Adar Poonawalla is the CEO of the Serum Institute of India, the world’s largest vaccine maker. Serum manufactured many of the early COVID shots and provided them at cost to developing and lower income countries. “If you spend just a billion every year to build vaccine infrastructure everywhere, all across the world, and fund companies like mine and others, you could vaccinate and protect your country in a matter of a month or two months if you have a pandemic,” Poonawalla says. Journalist and bestselling author Michael Lewis, who wrote “The Premonition” about the early response to COVID, interviews Poonawalla about strategies to protect the world against future outbreaks and how global collaboration can ensure equitable access to life-saving vaccines.
