It should take nothing away from the frontline workers honored in New York’s recent Covid-heroes ticker-tape parade to note that one group was slighted. Yes, nurses, doctors, delivery drivers, and grocery workers deserved to be saluted for soldiering on through the pandemic. But there would have been no parade, and we’d all still be masked and locked down, were it not for Pfizer the New York–headquartered pharmaceutical company that rushed one of the successful vaccines into production and distribution. Underappreciated due to the caricature of price-gouging Big Pharma, Pfizer, based in midtown Manhattan, exemplifies how cities can serve as incubators for new ideas and enterprises.
