Description

“The Damn Cholera!” is the second audiobook from the authors of “Really CHOLERA!” and participants of the project “NeuroNews,” Aleksei Paevsky and Anna Khoruzhaya. It gathers all the most interesting facts from the history of the discovery and treatment of such widely known diseases as leprosy, typhus, measles, and syphilis. You’ll learn about prion infections, yellow fever, a disease caused by “little dragonlings,” and also what mass refusal of vaccination threatens humanity with. A special gift for readers will be an exclusive interview with a Nobel Prize laureate and the discoverer of the HIV virus, Françoise Barré-Sinoussi.
