Almost exactly five years ago I attended a teleconference and this topic came up. One panelist was CFO of a vaccine manufacturer, another ws a board member of a cpvid vaccine developer. They knew each other because of their daughters' grade school or HS car pool. They did not know each other in college, though they were on campus at the same time.
One of them had a grown daughter that worked in a data analytics company... and that company was engaged in the big effort.

I met with the founder of Caption years ago. Things progressed very quickly.
