this book is a profound success. I have read few that have given me such an immediate, eye-level view of working science - of brilliant, committed, heroic science - James McConnachie - The Sunday Times, Our future hangs on the success of the Oxford vaccine., This is the story of its creation, its makers and how science will ultimately beat the virus., On 1 January 2020, Sarah Gilbert, Professor of Vaccinology at Oxford University, read an article about four people in China with a strange pneumonia. Within two weeks, she had designed a vaccine against a pathogen that no one had ever seen before. Twelve months later, vaccination is being rolled out across the world to save millions of lives from Covid-19., In Vaxxers, we hear directly from Professor Gilbert and her colleague Dr Cath Green as they reveal the inside story of making the Oxford vaccine and the cutting-edge science behind it. This is their story of trying to fight a pandemic as ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.
