I really really wanted to love this book, I really did. To be honest, most of it was an excellent read. But one thing just nags at me, a major plot hole and because of that, I just can't like the book.***SPOILER ALERT***Okay, so this doctor brings this virus to the United States with him, years and years ago to keep it safe right? And apparently he has a vaccine for it, in very limited quantities. So he gives the vaccine to a few people he cares about just in case. He can't inoculate everyone, because he doesn't have enough. He can't even inoculate his own son who was apparently born after he'd used up all the vaccine? But he's inoculated, and so are a few people he cares about. He's studied the virus, and we're lead on to believe he help create it, and possibly the vaccine. Couldn't he just have made more vaccine? At the very least derived and synthesized it from the blood of someone who had been inoculated? I mean, the other doctors in the book talk about doing just that, but that it would take time. The original doctor had like 15 years to do it!
