"Smallpox: A Journey from Devastation to Vaccination" Medical vaccination has revolutionized the fight against smallpox, a highly contagious and deadly disease. From the MAB First Ambulance Interior to the Smallpox and Vaccination Hospital in Highgate, London, medical professionals have tirelessly worked towards eradicating this menace. In India, worshipping the God of Smallpox was once a common practice until Edward Jenner, a British physician, introduced his groundbreaking smallpox vaccine. His efforts were not without opposition - an anti-vaccination riot erupted in Montreal, Canada in 1885 after a devastating epidemic struck. French-Canadian adversaries attacked City Hall as depicted in wood engravings from that time. Georges Jacques Danton famously said that "in revolutions there are only two sorts of men: those who cause them and those who profit by them. " Similarly, with smallpox eradication efforts led by pioneers like Jenner came immense benefits for humanity. Comparing measles to smallpox highlights the severity of this disease; while both are highly infectious viral diseases affecting children primarily, smallpox had far deadlier consequences. The title page of Jenner's work on vaccination serves as a reminder of his significant contributions to medicine. Today we can reflect on how far we have come thanks to medical advancements and vaccinations. The detail of Dr. Edward Jenner's statue reminds us of his tireless dedication towards saving lives through immunization programs. Let us remember the past struggles documented in historical records such as the Smallpox treatment document from New England dating back to 1677, and is crucial never to forget our history so that we may continue progressing towards a future free from diseases like smallpox.
