Throughout history, people have tried to stop the spread of contagions - but with little success until the discovery of the smallpox vaccine in the late eighteenth century. Since then, vaccines and treatments have been found for many more diseases. Now, whenever a new epidemic emerges, researchers and pharmaceutical companies start a scientific race towards groundbreaking discoveries. In A Shot to Save the World (2021), Gregory Zuckerman chronicles the history of these discoveries and how scientists built on them to develop Covid-19 vaccines in just one year.
