Learning from smallpox: How to eradicate a disease - Julie Garon and Walter A. Orenstein
Find out how smallpox became the first (and only) disease to be permanently eradicated through the use of vaccination and isolation to prevent transmission.
--
For most of human history, we have sought to treat and cure diseases. But only in recent decades did it become possible to ensure that a particular disease never threatens humanity again. Julie Garon and Walter A. Orenstein detail how the story of smallpox – the first and only disease to be permanently eliminated – shows how disease eradication can happen, and why it is so difficult to achieve.
Lesson by Julie Garon and Walter A. Orenstein, animation by TOGETHER.
