Maurice Hilleman arguably saved more lives than any other single person in history.

One single scientist developed over 40 vaccines in his lifetime, including eight of the vaccines that are still routinely given to every child. He's described in this podcast as someone who just had an innate gift for the judgments in a lab when making a vaccine. 
Reflecting on his life, he said, humbly, at 35:40 "I'm kind of pleased about it – I'm not smug. There's a great joy in being useful in life."
