Until the late 1960s, tens of thousands of American children suffered crippling birth defects if their mothers had been exposed to rubella, popularly known as German measles, while pregnant; there was no vaccine and little understanding of how the disease devastated fetuses. In June 1962, a young biologist in Philadelphia, using tissue extracted from an aborted fetus from Sweden, produced safe, clean cells that allowed the creation of vaccines against rubella and other common childhood diseases.

This book is well researched, well written, and exciting. The story of virology and the 20th century remains fascinating. It revolves more around the personalities making the discoveries then the science itself. However, that is not a negative as the stories are so interesting. Vaccination and clean water are there two great sabers of human life and the 20th century.
