Vacunas

Graziella Almendral, scientific journalist and well-known analyst on covid-19, gives us an exciting vision of the great public health catastrophes in our recent history, including the closest one, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Why, when covid-19 still seemed remote, did the scientific community drop everything to start looking for a vaccine? How do viruses manage to cause real cataclysms? Do epidemiologists already know what the next pandemic will be? Why, if we have an excellent measles vaccine, are we unable to eradicate the disease? How do you create a vaccine in record time? On a vibrant journey through the global health hot spots, from the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, where the deadliest pathogens are kept, to the forests of Uganda, a natural reservoir of known and unknown viruses, the renowned journalist lends a voice to virologists, immunologists and epidemiologists to offer us the most exciting and truthful information on present, past and future pandemics.
