    Smallpox caused a far more catastrophic impact in the Americas compared to Europe, Asia, and Africa; this was because the indigenous populations in the Americas had no pre-existing immunity to the disease. Europeans introduced smallpox to the Americas and it spread quickly, causing high mortality rates in native populations. Indigenous communities in the Americas were often nearby, which facilitated the rapid spread of diseases such as smallpox. The arrival of European settlers in the Americas brought diseases such as smallpox, as well as warfare, forced labor, and other factors that would add to the impact of disease spread in the Americas.…

    “He [Edward Jenner] was bled until pale, then purged and fasted repeatedly, until he wasted to a skeleton. He was denied solid food in favor of a vegetable drink that was supposed to sweeten the blood” (Kerns). Jenner’s miserable variolation experience made him realize how important it was to find a new way to prevent smallpox and helped him understand how his adversary worked. As a teenager, a milkmaid had told him, “Now I'll never take the Small pox, for I have had the Cow pox’’ (Unknown). Later in his life, it inspired the approach he took to eliminating smallpox.…

    The smallpox epidemic affected the economy, politics, and society of the thirteen English colonies in the eighteen-century. Smallpox also known as variola virus had a course of about one month leading to death or immunity and with strong remembrance of the pain. This highly contagious virus was transmitted through body fluids when in contact with an infected victim, and also through the clothing and the dried scabs of an infected person. The symptoms of an infected person showed after the eleventh day. These symptoms involved fever, headaches, backache, nausea, and malaise. Between the twelfth day through sixteenth day, the symptoms got worse, leading to macules, papules, vesicles and pustules. If during the tenth through the sixteenth day death didn’t occur, it was a sign of survival. During the twenty-fifth day scabs came in and the person was left with numerous scars, and some were blinded but had acquired immunity to smallpox for a lifetime. This epidemic did not discriminate peoples age, sex, race, religion, nor did it have any respect for social status, pregnancy or nutritional status - it affected everyone. This effect is described in the scholarly book of Elizabeth Fenn. The help control the spread of smallpox people used inoculation and quarantine. Two journal articles I have used are Henry R.Viets, "Some Features of the History of Medicine in Massachusetts during the Colonial Period (1620-1770)” and Cynthia, Scheider P., and Michael D. McDonald, “The King of terrors”. The primary source I have used is from William Quentin Maxwell, “A True state of the Small pox in Williamsburg.” In this paper, I will examine how smallpox changed the science in medicine as well as how it affected the society, economy and politics.…

    Our population is continuously growing, with newborn children being greeted into the world every day. Unfortunately, these greetings are short lived as micro bacteria and viruses plague every surrounding corner, with the potential to infect every newborn in its path with life-threatening illnesses. Vaccines are used to combat these unnecessary micro-organisms by using immunization chemicals to adjust the newborn's immune system. The first vaccine originated in 1797 for the smallpox virus that stole the lives of nearly 300 million people. Gradually vaccines have become an everyday system where even children around the age of two, commonly have 23 vaccination shots in order to combat severe bacterial infections such as the measles or Hepatitis…
