Critics Review
A very good combination of the history of current vaccines and an explanation of what they do and how they do it.

About The Author
David Miles
David Miles has two decades of experience as a scientist and educator in the field of infectious disease immunology. He began his scientific career as a zoologist before moving to Gambia to study the infant immune response to vaccines against infectious diseases, and spent ten years leading research projects there, in Malawi and in South Africa. David’s research career was ended by a lymphoma, the treatment for which wiped out his immune system and left him more vulnerable to infection than a newborn baby. He moved into education as a tutor on the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine’s distance learning MSc in infectious diseases.
