The Beautiful Cure and The Compatibility Gene

One day while browsing on the internet I saw an add for a book titled The Beautiful Cure by Daniel M Davis a Professor of Immunology. The title sparked my interest so I read the reviews and thought that someday I would like to read this book. So I scratched the title on a little sticky note on my desk. When the pandemic hit I quickly looked all over my desk for that little sticky note. I finally found it and ordered it immediately. I wanted to know more about my immune system and how it works. What better way than to read a book written by an Immunologist. By the way, shouldn't they have a big "say" into how we handle pandemics and vaccine development. I don't think I've seen one Immunologist on the news. Very strange to me. 
I have to recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about their immune system. It is so well written that I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed it so much I looked to see if Professor Davis had written any other books and sure enough he had. I ordered it, The Compatibility Gene, and thoroughly enjoyed it also. He takes us on a journey of immune cells, history and genetics. Both books are easy to understand, you don't need to be a scientist to understand the science in the books.  The biggest message from theses books is that there is still so much we DON'T know about how our immune systems work. It really is a beautiful miraculous symphony of processes. I don't think we will ever have a super computer that will be able to do what our immune system does day after day.
One other piece of information I found very interesting is that Immunologists know that vaccines are not as effective in older people. Just like we don't know why we age they don't know why they are not as effective. I find that very interesting and why is the medical industry pushing flu shots on seniors?
