[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1777799, member: 18945"] A small thing. The first [U]successful[/U] smallpox vaccines were made from cowpox. The smallpox vaccine story is a fascinating in-depth read about a disease that had ravaged mankind since before the time of Christ. The original 'vaccinations' against smallpox tho, came from the lesions of those infected with the actual disease. It worked, but a relatively high % of them died from the disease and the practice of using live smallpox virus set off several regional outbreaks. Still that practice carried on for over a century before Jenner and others showed that cowpox was the best serum to use. It's still out there, just waiting, somewhere. Like polio, it will resurface at some point and it is unlikely with the current attitude regarding vaccines and 'rights' that we will be as successful at putting that genie back in the bottle as we were last time. back to the regularly scheduled programming....
