Operation Warp Speed for COVID-19 Vaccine Development

Operation Warp Speed is a U.S. government project aiming to fast-track the development of a COVID-19 vaccine with a goal of having 300 million doses by January 2021. The project has unsettled some vaccine scientists and public health experts due to concerns about the timeline and potential duplication of efforts. The project plans to pick a diverse set of vaccine candidates and pour significant resources into comparative studies, fast-tracked trials, and manufacturing. It aims to prioritize American interests and is not considering vaccine candidates from China.
