The life sciences research and development ecosystem, based largely in the United States, is racing to defeat COVID-19, with 140 plus vaccine development programs underway and over 1,400 clinical trials evaluating nearly 500 potential treatments.

There is a false choice being peddled in the current debate over how to handle the pandemic: that those who advocate for a measured reopening of our economy value money over health and life. I respectfully disagree. I think the real choice is this: whether to inflict irreparable damage on the American way of life, or to take reasonable risks to restore economic prosperity.
