1019 Brendan Borrell – The First Shots
The First Shots
In THE FIRST SHOTS—currently under development for an HBO limited series with superstar director and producer Adam McKay, Brendan draws on his exclusive and high- level access to weave together an incredible story about the hard-driving scientists, billionaire entrepreneurs, and chaotic political power players who shaped 18 pandemic months of fear, resolve, and triumph. Brendan and I enjoy a healthy conversation about his research and some of the controversy and confusion surrrounding the pandemic.
