    Decades of basic research paved the way for today’s Covid-19 vaccines

    New vaccines against Covid-19 didn't emerge from thin air in just a few months. Years of basic research made that feat possible.

    The other virus that worries Asia

    The death rate for Nipah virus is up to 75% and it has no vaccine. While the world focuses on Covid-19, scientists are working hard to ensure it doesn't cause the next pandemic.
