The Pros And Cons Of Smallpox Vaccines

End of Ebola Death is one of the biggest fears of humans. In world history, only a few diseases have killed countless people and threatened humanity. A few diseases such as smallpox, influenza, and S.A.R.S. have been a problem in the past. The waves of deadly diseases did not stop there, but a new disease called Ebola was introduced not too long ago. More than 23,200 people from Africa have died, and still more counting worldwide.

According to an Oregon population graph which showed the population of Native Americans and non-Indians, the Native American population dropped drastically between the years 1805 and 1841, while the non-Indian population increased greatly between the years 1841 and 1870. The vast amount of Americans moving Westward resulted in many Native Americans dying. An extensive part of Native American deaths were a result of the new diseases that Americans brought while traveling through American Indian territory. Due to the fact that many of the Native Americans had never experienced these

I won't give up.” The age of exploration was a time where lots of disease were introduced to Europe and in the way over to Europe, in the voyage, lots of people died because it was very treacherous and filthy. As globalization and foods said “The spread of diseases across wide geographic scales has increased through history. Early diseases that spread from Asia to Europe were bubonic plague, influenza of various types, and similar infectious diseases.” all diseases that were introduced in the age of exploration affected across wide geographic scales through history and now in modern day.

In deeper analysis, Malaria, Yellow Fever, and Smallpox have occurred for over 4,000 years and is known for greatly impacting humans and their history during the Antebellum era. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlighted in the beginning of the article, “Malaria became widely recognized in Greece by the 4th century BCE, and it was responsible for the decline of many of the city-state populations”. Since our medical resources weren’t available to individuals during the Antebellum era, they were able to infer when a person contracted malaria by analyzing their blood. They could also tell when individuals caught this said disease because they would show symptoms of fevers every third day, and the releasing of merozoites in our bloodstreams. Towards the end of the Yellow Fever epidemic, over 5000 individuals were dead.

An issue many parents face today with is the common US practice to give all children dozens of vaccinations which may or may not cause side effects ranging from autism to death. Vaccination is the injection of a killed or weakened organism that produces immunity in the body against that organism. On “vactruth.com”, a website devoted to providing the latest articles about child vacinations, writer “Michelle Goldstein” expresses multiple reasons not to vacinate your child. In her article, “10 Reasons Not To Vaccinate”, she argues that all vaccines contain multiple toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde, lead, cadmium, and thimerosal. She claims that all these chemicals can cause serious neurological damage, but Goldstein fails to provide recorded cases in which children have suffered neurological damage as a direct cause of harmful vacine chemicals.

The outbreak of the pandemic known as the Black Death in 1347 brought to Europe devastation unlike any other on record which demanded immediate action in both treating and preventing further spread of the disease. Firstly this essay will examine the causes and diagnoses of the disease. Following this, there will be an investigation of the precautions implemented in an attempt to stop the spread of infection, such as quarantine and the understanding of contagion. Furthermore, there will be an argument that the Black Death can be seen as a normal accident according to Normal Accident Theory. Finally there will be a discussion on how the Black Death’s implementation of quarantine relates to the precautionary principle and how we deal with epidemics

One of the reasons they give is that “vaccinations can sometimes cause permanent injury and death.” The article reveals that, “the government concedes there is a problem, and it established The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to reimburse parents for children who die from or are permanently disabled by vaccines. According to the article, “the National Childhood Vaccination Injury Compensation Program has paid out over 1.5million dollars in damages to families for injuries and deaths following a vaccine reaction.” “However, the risks of not being vaccinated far outweigh the risks of associated with vaccination.” “According to researchers at the Pediatric Academic Society, childhood vaccinations in the U.S prevent about 10.5 million cases of infectious illness and 33,000deathes per

In the seventies of the last century many experts thought that the fight against infectious diseases was ended. During the last two decades, this opinion has been reversed, and there is now a renewed appreciation of the importance of communicable disease. Infectious diseases cause 63% of all childhood deaths and 48% of premature deaths . The dramatic increase in international travel and trade in recent years has provided opportunities for diseases to spread across geopolitical and international boundaries at exponential rates as demonstrated by the outbreaks of Swine flu and avian influenza The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is at special risk of occurrence and spread of a group of infectious diseases because of its long borders, close proximity

The influenza pandemic killed more than the World War 1(WW1) did. The influenza “Spanish Flu”killed around 20-40 million people. This horrible global disaster left people in fear and knowing that it would most likely be here once again (The 1918 Influenza Pandemic 1). The flu took a heavy human toll, wiping out entire families and leaving countless widows and orphans in its wake.

Sometimes the smallest things have the biggest impact. What was infinitesimal but so widespread that no part of North America was untouched by it? The devastation of Smallpox in the 1700s played a key role in the outcome of the revolutionary war and also in shaping modern medicine and in how we handle diseases. But these medical advances didn 't come without terrible sacrifice. Nearly 30% of europeans living in the Americas during the epidemic would succumb to smallpox totaling thousands.

Becoming familiar with the history of smallpox establishes how deadly this disease was and confirms the destructive path it left. It can be compared to many of the diseases that are still affecting people today. The origin of smallpox is thought to begin around 10,000 BC, but the specific beginning is lost in prehistory. Other diseases, such as tuberculosis, have almost the same depth of history, but are still active today.

Boston Smallpox Epidemic of 1721: When smallpox broke out in Boston, Cotton Mather introduced an untested medical procedure called “inoculation”, which would introduce a small amount of the virus to a patient, in hoping they would become immune to it. Many were opposed to it, even though it worked. Many people died due to the epidemic. 31. Common Sense: Thomas Paine wrote a book called "Common Sense", it sold more than 150,000 copies when the population was only 3 million.

Three months after they were vaccinated there was a massive epidemic. Some believe that the vaccinations they were given exacerbated the outbreak. Thousands of people died and although experts cannot be certain it 's been said that 15% to 20% of the people who contracted the disease died(cultural
