Her new house, which she made exceedingly clear that she paid for herself, is filled with every luxury item that a woman could…
Among numerous diseases that has changed the course of human history smallpox is considered to be an undeniable standout. As noted by Belongia and Naleway (2003), this disease has been “…scourge against humanity for at least the past 1500 years”. Since it has been decimating communities across the globe for more than one and a half of millennium, the virus’ footprint may be called significant. From today’s point of observation, the highlight in the history of smallpox is the period around the…
Child Vaccinations Every parent would want their child to be happy, healthy, and do the best for them. This is possible through vaccinations. How exactly do vaccines work? Vaccines are made up of a weakened or dead form of the bacteria or virus of the disease. When the vaccine is injected, the immune system detects it and reacts as if it was real. The body begins to make antibodies against it and leaves behind memory cells. They are ready to fight against the actual infectious organism.…
1700s, this method then moved onto Turkey where the royal family on the throne embraced the idea and had themselves inoculated. Moving into the late 1700s, this vaccination idea spread its way to England. In England, a young gentleman named Edward Jenner noticed that if you had cowpox, you never contracted smallpox, so he tested his theory. He used variolation against cowpox on a small boy, then he used it again but against smallpox on the same boy. The boy remained healthy and this method…

The history of vaccines and immunization began in 1796 when Edward Jenner, a doctor living in Berkeley, England, performed the world’s first vaccination (Stern & Markel, 2005). Jenner “took pus from a cow pox lesion on a milkmaid’s hand” and “inoculated an eight-year-old boy” (Stern & Markel, 2005, p.612). Six weeks later, Jenner again inoculated two sites on the boys arm and he was unaffected. This was the beginning of vaccines and expanded greatly in the late 19th and early twentieth…
lives relatively disease free and we owe so much of that to vaccines. Despite the overwhelming evidence, people still have questions and concerns. Which is okay. In 1798, smallpox was killing hundreds of thousands of people every year. Until Edward Jenner that milkmaids who had gotten cowpox, a less deadly form of the disease, didn’t get smallpox. This was the first vaccine. Vaccines are like training exercise for your body, They use dead or damaged viruses to provoke an immune response, without…

have been used worldwide to prevent life-threatening diseases. Dr. Edward Jenner developed the first vaccination to cure smallpox; he did so by “injecting a dead or mild form of a virus or bacteria into the body in order to stimulate production of antibodies” (Lee and Carson-Dewitt). In case of infection later, these antibodies would provide additional protection. In the 18th century, smallpox was spreading rapidly; Jenner was able to create a vaccination to save lives by using cowpox, a milder…
Imagine a world where vaccines have never been invented. Such a world would be a frightening place. It would be riddled with disease and people reluctant to leave their homes for fear of being infected if they are exposed to disease. With the thousands of diseases out there, the world would quickly become a hospital without walls and boundaries as more of its population succumbed to disease. Thanks to vaccines, the world will hopefully never turn out like this. However, when parents choose not…
