Thanks for this post - really interesting. As someone who's worked extensively for the UN, I have put out video explainers on the history of immunization and so on. Arguably, the greatest and most effective health intervention in human history. The WHO estimates that vaccines save 4 -5 million lives a year. But there's always been resistance and scepticism. The COVID wars, as you point out, had plenty of precedents. Thanks again.
Thank you for the reference. Can’t wait to read. Haven’t read The Premonition by Michael Lewis yet either Love this stuff. Not really about a pandemic, but a fun early ID read: The Ghost Map, about chasing Cholera in London in the late 19th century. Miss you and your brain! xo
