Very informative journey through science and infections

A fascinating history of infections and the science we have created against it. There is a decent amount of depth to the science for those with more background in the subject but explained clearly enough for those that do not.

Delivered with humour and humility it feels although you are at a small group seminar led by your favourite professor rather than the recipient of a lecture.

Great listen.

10% of the book is ranting about politics

Way too much politics for a book about a virus. Other than that it's a solid source of information.
