"Virus: Vaccinations, the CDC, and the Hijacking of America's Response to the Pandemic takes readers on an extraordinary journey from the medical science of viruses and vaccines, to conspiracy theories, through the history of knowledge, to the precipice-where we are now-of uncertainty about the future. This is not a book for those who think they already know how the story ends, but one that asks the tough questions in terse, hard-hitting paragraphs and chapters. Virus walks a tightrope wire, in the same way that nearly all Americans are already doing, and does not presume our lives will be saved by any one approach or answer, or that any side has ownership of the truth, but puts us on a path towards a better understanding of what just happened to us and where we're likely to be headed when, not if, the next virus appears.

Virus includes original research and interviews with many key figures and experts including MIT engineer ("The Edison of Medicine") and Moderna founder Robert Langer, Stanford microbiologist David Relman, first mRNA clinical trial (Seattle) participant Missy Pena, medical anthropologist Martha Louis Lincoln, among many others, and a deep reading of publicly available documents and reporting"--
