    Yakimoto: The Frozen Mission - A Global Fight for Survival Since 1979

    Historical Anchor: WHO’s "Cold Chain Initiative"
    In 1979, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched humanity’s largest vaccine transport operation—shipping 4 million doses of smallpox vaccine from Geneva to Somalia, the final outbreak zone in Africa. With temperatures soaring to 122°F (50°C) and no reliable electricity, traditional refrigeration units failed mid-transit, jeopardizing millions of dollars’ worth of lifesaving vaccines.

    At Addis Ababa Airport, Japanese engineer Hayato Yakimoto made a desperate gamble: he stripped aluminum panels from the cargo plane’s hull and rigged a makeshift insulated container using titanium climbing carabiners from his gear. Drawing on alpine thermal preservation techniques, he maintained the vaccines’ integrity through the final leg to Mogadishu, ultimately enabling the WHO to declare smallpox eradicated in 1980.

    Product arrived timely and packed with styrofoam pieces to protect cooler, however it still had a dent in corner of the lid. Not a deal breaker, as everything else was shiny a new, just chalking it up to mishandling during shipping. Good looking and unique cooler all the way around.

    Fast shipping, it seemed to be in the box along time and had a crack on the one side!

    I want to thank you for the thermos. I’m very happy and I love your customer service. I like you. We wrapped everything up nice and snug. I’m looking forward to use it pretty soon. I got those colors because I have a black Lexus SUV. I think in the cooler cause I’m a cool guy once again thank you for your services. Have a good great day.
