Review
"Operation Warp Speed was one of the most impressive life-saving projects of our lifetime—the development of a vaccine in ten months that saved millions of lives across the planet, put the world back to work and allowed life to return to normal. Paul Mango’s account of how the vaccine was conceived, developed, manufactured, distributed and administered, all in record time and without a hitch, is the story of deregulation and public-private sector success, and the story of competence, determination, and the force of will. Let’s use an Operation Warp Speed to cure cancer, MS, and Alzheimer's." —Stephen Moore, former Trump senior economist
"When Paul Mango, a respected expert in healthcare, went to Washington, he never expected to face the largest public health crisis in a century. In his new book, Mango takes us inside the room for one of America’s greatest accomplishments: distributing millions of doses of safe and effective vaccines within one year of identifying the Covid virus. Paul gives us his insider’s view on who and what made that possible, as well as lessons to help us cope with the next pandemic." —Trevor Fetter, Former CEO, Tenet Healthcare, and current Lecturer, Harvard Business School
"Congratulations to Paul Mango on his new book, Warp Speed: Inside the Operation that Beat Covid, the Critics, and the Odds, which tells the story of how my Administration, in record time, delivered vaccines and therapeutics to the American people to fight the China Virus. What we achieved was incredible, but it is sad to see what Biden has done with it (no mandates!). Great job, Paul!" --Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
"The simply amazing story behind the development of anti-Covid vaccines is told in riveting detail and clearly laid out for the general public by someone who was there at every stage of this medical miracle that was accomplished in a time of dire peril for the nation (and the world!)." —Michael Dunford, Midwest Book Review
