noubar: we have said 500 million to a billion doses.nder certain circumstances, we may be on the high end of that. we will be watching for demand. one of the things we still don't know over the next weeks and months is how many of the vaccine will get over the finish line. that only safety but efficacy sufficient for broad adoption. that will have a role to play in dictating how much volume each of the vaccine manufacturers needs to make it can make. capacity is one thing. utilization will be another. it is still early for us to determine exactly where that will be. we have certainly made a lot of upfront investments to be in a position to reach those goals should we need to. emily: if you can share any more details about capacity, are there any particular ingredients that are in, let's say, short supply. do you have everything you need to get to that 750, maybe a billion doses, based on you see right now? noubar: based on what we see now and what we have committed to with our partners, governments that have preordered vaccine and we fo

noubar: our work with the nih was primarily in the vaccine development itself.the science with the spike protein that has been well covered and of course the years of work we have done together on evaluating mrna as a rapid response technology. well described and much appreciated by us and every single person who will receive our vaccine. oh ws on the other hand has been deeply involved in supporting and advising the work that moderna has done in preparing itself to produce, and to distribute. and that has been essential. i cannot overstate the central role it played. i think it played an important role. unfortunate that we have been in a politicized environment where every single action ends up being interpreted in multiple ways. but when you strip all of that away, hopefully we will come out of a political environment relatively soon. what they have done is an essential part of where we are today. emily: that was moderna co-founder and share new bar fan. withg up, our conversation london breed. how the tech city is coping during the pandemic and what she has t

noubar afeyan, welcome. pleasure to have you on the show. >> great to be here, fareed. >> it does seem astonishing the speed with which this has happened. if i think back to even ten years ago when people would talk about vaccines, it was not uncommon to talk about taking about ten years for a vaccine to develop. this one has developed in nine months, roughly speaking. what explains this massive ramp-up in speed? >> i think it's a combination of things. part of it is technological advances. the ones that have been able to go that fast are based on a brand-new technology that has been developed over the very last decade that you mentioned. but part of it is also the severity of the conditions under which we are developing it, which means that the attack rate of this virus is high enough that we could actually recruit and test the vaccine very quickly. that's not the case in typical vaccine trials where, while there is a threat, it's actually fairly diffuse. so you have to work hard in recruiting people in the
