We are making this dream a reality with this announcement. The COVID vaccine has proven to be highly effective, although its logistics were complex due to the new technology.

We collaborated with Tony's team for years, working on various vaccine candidates. After analyzing different antigens for MERS, we found that the full-length spike protein with mRNA was the most effective. When we received the SARS CoV 2 sequence on January 13, both teams independently recommended the same vaccine design. We immediately ordered production, leading to the start of phase 1 trials on March 16.

On October 6, 2021, I met with my manager, Conwell Gill, a principal scientist at Pfizer. We discussed the ethics of giving people experimental booster shots for money. mRNA vaccines have been around for 50 years but never made it to clinical use due to side effects. Pfizer and Moderna used the emergency of the pandemic to push through their vaccines. Pfizer collaborated with Beyond Tech on mRNA technology for COVID-19. Everything was new and rushed due to the pandemic. There was no time to think, only to act.

He highlights the positive progress made in terms of manufacturing capacity, with the ability to produce more vaccines compared to previous years. He recalls a conversation where he emphasized the need to manufacture a billion vaccines in the following year due to the predicted pandemic.

We ensure there is enough capacity and competition for vaccines, leading to lower prices and the development of new vaccines. This includes vaccines for TB, malaria, HIV, and even COVID-19. To improve vaccines, we aim for longer duration and broader coverage, and plan to replace needles with patches. The pandemic has shown that we have not invested enough in these innovations. Our partners in India play a crucial role in achieving these breakthrough products.

He recalls a conversation where he emphasized the need to produce one billion vaccines in the following year due to the anticipated pandemic.

We discussed pandemic readiness with Tony, proposing a mock outbreak to test fast vaccine production. Despite skepticism, we aimed to deliver a GMP dose within 60 days. When news of a new coronavirus emerged, we quickly recognized the need for action. Transitioning from traditional egg-based vaccine production to new methods requires disruptive innovation. The urgency for a faster, disruptive approach to address outbreaks is evident. The potential for rapid response to novel viruses by sharing RNA sequences globally is crucial. Investigation into motives for outbreaks is essential.

From day 1 of the pandemic, we embarked on a massive vaccination campaign, an unprecedented operational feat. Our approach was rooted in science, not politics. Currently, scientists are investigating potential advancements.

On January 10th, the speaker received the genetic sequence of the virus from Chinese authorities. They immediately designed and manufactured a vaccine, using a computer algorithm to generate the vaccine design in just a few hours. The code for the vaccine was downloaded from a Chinese website, and the speaker expresses gratitude to the Chinese authorities for sharing it. However, there are concerns about the Chinese government not sharing data and not isolating the virus. The speaker questions the reliability of positive results from live animal samples. Overall, the situation is not what was initially expected.

Developing a vaccine is crucial to controlling the pandemic. Normally, it takes about five years to create a new vaccine, including testing for safety and effectiveness. However, efforts are being made to compress this timeline to around 18 months. The RNA platform shows promise in speeding up production. Ensuring a vaccine's effectiveness and safety, especially for older individuals, is challenging. We must avoid compromising safety while increasing efficacy. Decision-making regarding the use of a new vaccine will be based on limited data to expedite progress. Supporting the development of the most promising candidates, building production facilities, and conducting safety testing require a global collaborative effort. Our foundation is heavily involved in funding vaccines, including for developing countries. It's encouraging to see various medications emerging, such as Moderna, CureVac, Stamovi, and Logovac, which require investment.

We discussed pandemic readiness and the speed of mRNA technology. I proposed a simulation to create a vaccine within 60 days, which was initially met with skepticism. However, due to our work on personalized cancer vaccines, we were prepared. When news of a new coronavirus emerged, we quickly got the sequence and began working on a vaccine. The conversation shifted to the need for disruptive entities to accelerate vaccine development, moving away from traditional methods like egg-based production. The urgency for innovative solutions to address outbreaks was emphasized.

“And we will have new vaccines. We'll have a, TB vaccine, malaria vaccine, HIV vaccine, and even the things like COVID vaccines.” The speaker envisions vaccines for TB, malaria, HIV, and COVID, with longer duration and broader coverage. “We need to make them have longer duration, more coverage, and we're gonna change instead of using the needle to use a little patch.” The plan includes longer-lasting protection and a switch from needle injections to patch delivery. “So the pandemic really highlighted that we've been underinvested in those innovations, and, you know, our partners in India are are part of how we're gonna get these breakthrough products done.” The pandemic is cited as underscoring underinvestment, with India-based partners playing a role in bringing breakthrough products to fruition.

Big companies said it wasn't possible, but Trump gave Moderna's COO $1 billion to develop a vaccine quickly. They started human trials after testing on mice. Many were skeptical, but the vaccine was ready in 6 months. Some experts raised concerns about the rushed development process.

We only have one old and ineffective licensed vaccine for tuberculosis. To improve this, we aim to use the experience gained from developing effective platforms during the COVID-19 pandemic to create a new and effective tuberculosis vaccine. Today, we received unprecedented commitments from member states, partners, and donors to invest in this initiative. We believe that this new vaccine could be a game-changer. We are inspired and eager to support all stakeholders and work together with them to make this happen.
