Description
"In this book, [the author] aims to combine his lifetime's experience in both academic and industrial spheres, his passionate interest in the history of immunology and vaccination, and his proven ability to explain the underlying science to uninitiated readers. This is a short book that takes a long view. The principles of vaccination have remained the same from the start of the vaccine story, and some strong contenders in today's race for a COVID-19 vaccine have stepped straight out of history in a re-invented form, and are just as likely to succeed as the latest gene-based candidates (the subject of Rhodes's own work on vaccines). While providing this historical backdrop, Rhodes explains the fundamentals of the science, revealing the unifying principles shaping the race and the intriguing details of vaccine discovery--an area beyond the reach of magazine and newspaper articles.
