Who would want smallpox still floating through the air, patiently, waiting for its next victim? Nobody in their right mind would want to get an infectious disease! Thankfully, smallpox became extinct a few decades ago. Who do we have to thank for that? Well, it’s Mr. Donald A. Henderson. He came up ‘ring vaccination’, and it he did exactly what the name says to do, vaccinate people in a ‘ring’ so that anybody around that, around that person also gets vaccinated. He helped destroy smallpox, something that nobody had ever done before with any disease. People have been calling it “the greatest medical feat of all time,” and “a real American hero.” Praise this guy because now there’s nobody in America is lying on their bed with pus filled blisters
