Virologist, Professor Michael Oldstone, based on the evidence of contemporaries of terrible epidemics and scientists, "microbe hunters", tells about humanity's struggle with deadly viruses. Heroic stories of doctors who, in creating vaccines, had to not only risk their own lives but also overcome household and religious prejudices rooted in centuries, tragic mistakes of business and authorities in the fight against viruses, giving rise to new fears and distrust of the state. This book is an important reminder that we mistakenly take health for granted, as new threats appear suddenly, like the word from Pandora's box, and scientists tirelessly continue to fight them.
