Viruses And Vaccines: Smallpox To Covid-19 by Eric Grannis
Requirements: .PDF reader, 61 MB
Overview: From Smallpox to COVID-19, viruses have long plagued humanity. These fearsome and fascinating creatures invade a cell and hijack its machinery to clone themselves millions of times over until the cell bursts open, releasing the clones to conquer other cells. Our bodies fight off these invaders with B cells that disable them, with macrophages that consume and digest them, and with Killer T cells that assassinate the cells harboring them. But despite these defenses, these viruses have often won, killing hundreds of millions of people.
This is the story of how we learned to fight back: of a slave named Onesimus who told Americans how a simple procedure could make them immune to a life-threatening virus; of an English doctor who improved upon that procedure; and of a Hungarian-born scientist whose groundbreaking research on mRNA has given us a new weapon in our war against deadly viruses.
