Smallpox Vaccine 1955

[concon780]

they would be given cow pox as it wasn't a deadly disease, whereas smallpox was. Edward Jenner was the first to invent the vaccine as his milkmaidens would get cowpox but never small pox. If you get cowpox fight then your body can fight of the small pox better leaving you with no scars

[MsEllieMay69]

If it went extinct or has been eradicated then why did I just have to get a smallpox vaccine?

[Ranillon]

@MsEllieMay69 Do you work for the US armed services and are stationed/will be stationed in the Middle East? They are the only people I know of who are still required to get the vaccine and only because of borderline paranoia over a highly unlikely biological attack (unlikely as there are few if any places the virus still exists and they are all highly guarded). Otherwise, you are probably confusing it with some other vaccine for another disease like Chicken Pox.

Hope they find one for monkeypox!

vaccination was stopped,b/c it did more harm than good.It did not guarantee immunity,as having the disease does.The last outbreaks were started by vaccin. individuals;then,as many vacc. as unvacc. got it,w/ about the same mortality rate.In the health field,I'm required to get vaccinations :the only ones benefiting are the pharmaceut. comp.'s and their stockholders.Nobody knows the longterm conseq. of injecting GMM's/pathogens into the bloodstream.In babies,the blood brain barrier is thin...

@kzam717 Actually, the stopped vaccinating because it went extinct. Vaccines rock!

[sjhalliwell]

samples of the smallpox virus still exist and are kept as potential biological warfare agents. Apart from this it has been eradicated.

[pwnwner]

Actually smallpox has been completely eradicated. There are a few vials of smallpox left, but the last case of smallpox was in 1979, it has never happened again, nor will it happen ever again.

[abarrathemaster]

@pwnwner as long as those anti-vaccine nutties get in power

[klett69]

"the child is safe from smallpox for several years..."

But not forever ! What would happen later then??

Cancer? 

[06greek06]

@klett69 The smallpox vaccination lasts like 5 years. After this time period it just wares off.

[cssadiction]

@06greek06 but would it be safe to have one every 5 years or so?

[algood]

Vaccine, what comes to mind when a person mentions vaccines in this day in age.... H1n1, hey I wonder what ever happen to that ? It was here 1 moment gone the next ? Man made ? What about aids ? Man mad ? Ok ok... What about small pox ?... Man made ? It didn't just appear outta nowhere people

[chase1297]

@algood u are the dumbeeeest commenter ive in a while.

u might even get dumbest comment of the week?

[jjdiver]

Spaz, Did you hear, earth is really flat. The idea that earth is round is all propaganda. Really!

[spazzymagey]

@dischordia23 its all propaganda that vaccines cured smallpox, the thing that stopped it from spreading was hygene.

compare the hygene of then to now, clean water, clean food, personall hygene. That is what stopped smallpox from spreading, not the vaccine. Its all propaganda.

Do you seriously not notice a difference in hygene from people 300 years ago?. People used to throw their own poo into the streets, sewers lead to the thames, polluted water. Do u seriously think a vaccine stopped the It??

[chase1297]

@spazzymagey ummmm we got rid of smallpox in the 70s.

[rpowarz]

@chase1297 Small Pox has only been kept at hand, Small Pox has never been fully "gotten rid of"

[dan020350]

Please read the info ( description on the video ) I wonder was this an education video or an advertising video ?

[lipglossglam101]

i like this its very explanitiry

[flutetuty]

This is a excellent video showing how the vaccine was made. I would appreciated it if you could tell me where this video came from (citation). Then I could use it on my smallpox project. Please:)

[jjdiver]

I was born in 1957, and have wondered why I was vaccinated agaisnt Smallpox, since I don't have the Smallpox scar. Now I wonder if I received this form.

Interesting!

[spazzymagey]

@jjdiver the reason you did not catch smallpox is bacause of an improvement in hygene. The vaccine cureing smallpox was all propaganda.

im sorry :(
