In his latest book, bestselling author William A. Haseltine tells us that understanding our natural immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus is critical to understanding the Covid-19 pandemic and serves as a guide to what more we can do to protect ourselves. The natural immune system is what equips the body with the tools necessary to counter new threats from the microbial world and prevent severe disease. Only when these natural protections fail do we succumb to critical illness or death. How natural immunity functions has eluded our understanding-until now.

In his latest book, bestselling author William A. Haseltine tells us that understanding our natural immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus is critical to understanding the Covid-19 pandemic and serves as a guide to what more we can do to protect ourselves. The natural immune system is what equips the body with the tools necessary to counter new threats from the microbial world and prevent severe disease. Only when these natural protections fail do we succumb to critical illness or death. How natural immunity functions has eluded our understanding-until now. Natural Immunity and Covid-19: What It Is and How It Can Save Your Life collects insights from a fast-growing body of scientific research on the next frontier of pandemic control, not just for Covid-19 but existing and future infectious diseases. We now find ourselves in a uniquely challenging stage of the pandemic, without a long-lasting vaccine and facing a virus that evolves rapidly to become more transmissible and to defeat our best attempts at prevention and treatment. Haseltine argues that one way forward is to develop drugs that strengthen our natural immune defenses and keep vulnerable populations protected and healthy against existing and future variants.
William A. Haseltine PhD has a prolific career in science, business, and philanthropy around the world. He was a professor at Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health, and he is well known for his pioneering work on cancer, HIV/AIDS, and genomics. He has founded more than a dozen biotechnology companies, including Human Genome Sciences, and he serves on advisory boards for numerous international entities, from the Brookings Institution to the Council on Foreign Relations. He has authored more than 200 manuscripts in peer reviewed journals. William is currently Chair and President of ACCESS Health International, Inc., as well as Chairman of the Haseltine Foundation for Science and the Arts. "As a child, I lived through the polio epidemic which, like Covid, changed everyone's life. I knew then that I wanted to grow up and stamp out disease so everyone could live happy, healthy lives. Eventually, I became a scientist and over the years I managed to fulfill my dream. I developed new drugs to fight HIV/AIDS, cancer, diabetes and lupus, and I even developed a vaccine to prevent cats from getting leukemia. Now I help governments around the world improve the health of all people. I wrote this book to help parents, grandparents, and children-including my own grandchildren-protect themselves and the people they love from this new disease. I know someday normal life will return, even better than it was before."
