Vaccine hesitancy is not a modernistic thought process. People have been skeptical about vaccinations as far back as 1736. Benjamin Franklin was one of our founding fathers‚ an inventor‚ author‚ and father‚ who lost his own son to smallpox. He chooses not to vaccinate his four-year-old son.

The History Of Vaccines And Immunization: Familiar Patterns‚ New Challenges Alexandra Minna Stern and Howard Markel Abstract Human beings have benefited from vaccines for more than two centuries. Yet the pathway to effective vaccines has been neither neat nor direct. This paper explores the history of vaccines and immunization‚ beginning with Edward Jenner’s creation of the world’s first vaccine for smallpox in the 1790s.
