Timothy Ray Brown’s case is insanely cool! Being able to cure HIV in addition to his leukemia with the bone marrow transplant containing the natural CCR5 delta 32 mutation is as innovative as it is unique. Makes me believe in stem cells and genetics as the future of cellular medicine and therapy, eventually even cures!

I really enjoy how Mukherjee weaves in his own anecdotes and experiences as well as religious aspects. I’m also enjoying the descriptions of the scientific figures and the elaborate adjectives used.

I had no idea that “vaccine” came from the Latin word for cow, but that makes sense based on its origin!
