Spinning Threads of Innovation
"In a world struck by a health crisis, the story of COVID-19 vaccines stands out as a vibrant quilt of technologies, people, and organizations, stitched together through global cooperation. Much of the fabric had been woven previously, but required individuals to come together to stitch up solutions and co-create a protective quilt that blankets humanity with hope and health.
Historical Warp: A Different Needle
The fabric of today's vaccine technology is dyed deep with scientific advancements, starting in 1796, when Edward Jenner developed the first successful vaccine by inoculating a young boy with cowpox, which provided immunity against the deadly smallpox virus."
