Vaccinated: Chap 1- Chap 2

The vaccine has been a game changer to battle against the Covid19 pandemic. Each year vaccines save millions of lives, and one man, Maurice Hilleman, was responsible for nine of the big fourteen. The author Paul Offit recounts his story and the story of vaccines.

This week we will discuss Chapter 1- Chapter 2 of the book. Please submit your questions or comments here.

I am curious about Hilleman's prediction of the next pandemic at the end of chapter 1. Is his math off or do we have another pandemic to prepare for in 2025?

Yes, I am curious too. I even checked whether COVID19 is an H2 virus. It looks like COVID19 is not the H2 type.
