The Only Disease You Can't Catch

People back then could require migrants to be vaccinated.
Why can't we do same now? :D

All the diseases I’m reading about in the comments are caused by different things. It’s either a virus, bacteria, mycobacteria, or fungus. Please explain how vaccines works on these different vectors.

well let's be honest here....."colonizaton" caused all the diseases to spread ANYWAY...so thanks to his own bringing it ...yeah i'd say they should be the ones to fix it lol ....even then... the history of medicine is thanks to the indigenous....

It is a shame on you to not mention the woman who brought the variolation to Europe. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu was brave enough to introduce that practice in England by showing it being performed on her own child. Without her, Jenner would never have had a chance. Again, I am greatly disappointed that the whole team omitted that part of the story. Thumbs down.

W history revision

Brilliant format and seems very child friendly :D

15:40 the queen sighed and licked the king's head, is what i saw.

Literally the women 🙌🙌🙌 vaccines man, come on

What do you mean we want to stop vaccinating against smallpox because it’s “dead”? It’s dead because we’re vaccinating. The only fault of vaccines is how well they work. We’ve forgotten why we have them in the first place

19:50 that trump refrence almost killed me 😂

This is the first vaccine in history

I love that this was animated!!! Very fun!!!

It’s always Africa or their exports!

Your title is clickbait 😏 i have an un catchable disease and its not small pox

So it sounds like the milkmaids are the ones who actually figured it out. What was her name?

The YouTube time thing made me think it said small penius

Russia and USA are the only two facilities that contain the virus and they held in ultra high security underground in pneumatically sealed environments

Thank you for a great video and explanation. Just BTW, a cow has only one udder. The Bovine udder has four independent compartments (quarters) each with its own teat where milkers can be would have been exposed to cow pox in the past. Today, on well managed dairies, milkers wear nitrile gloves to prevent the spread of disease from man to cow. My PhD is in Dairy Science - Milk Quality.

Smallpox Variolation 😭🙏🥀

Test it on the kid. Ha ha thats messed up

Low key i'm watch med and history vid to help with my us history regent

Brilliant and informative. Thank you Dr. Mike

if we had smallpox now people woud still go:i aint gonna get that vaccine,its goverment propaganda

I studied Jenner for history and this video was amazing! A lot of his work tends to get overshadowed by later medical geniuses like Pasteur, Koch, Pare, Fleming etc etc, but he is truly the reason so many of us are living normal and healthy lives, safe from smallpox! A cool fact is that John Hunter, his mentor in London, is credited with being the reason that anatomy was studied more, specifically in England. Not only was there a lot of public fear around surgery, but there was a stigma around it after centuries of religious control that forbade a lot of medical practice. He opened a museum and even opened a college for surgeons! That time just birthed so many brilliant minds, and it overjoyed me to see a video on Jenner and the people around him.

It's crazy to think that if one of the research labs that have dormant smallpox virion sample specimens were to accidentally breach its containment, there's a chance we'd never be able to fully eradicate it, like last time, since antivax seems to have become a basic requirement for reptards

I have actually never recieved a vacination for anything I even dodged the covid and flu vaccinations

So if it only protected a person from smallpox for about 7 years, then what about those of us who had smallpox vaccine? Are we no longer immune?

The light bulb was such a great idea, it became the symbol of a great idea (I am watching this video at 00:00)

every day i am grateful smallpox doesn't exist anymore

The way you tell these stories is 👩‍🍳’s 💋 - I have a playlist of videos to watch with my 8 year old son and 99% of them are Dr. Mike videos. Thanks for ALL that you do ❤

The u.s. did the same thing with measles until rfk jr. reversed mandatory vaccines.

Edward: " you won't catch small pox with my cure just cuz." lol

Remember kids, next time you vote for a President, don’t vote for the anti-vaxxer!

Cool so Mike’s with Ferrari?

I remember getting my smallpox vaccine in the early 1960's. Also, getting the polio vaccine which was placed on a sugar cube then ate it. I had no idea that it would save me from getting smallpox and polio ever. I'm grateful for them both. Btw, I'm 66 years old. The worst virus I ever got was COVID.

Thank you so much for this! You tell the story well, and I learned quite a bit! I just wish people would understand how vaccines work. Maybe someone will someday come up with a vaccine that stops the newest viral disease: ignorance.

WHERE IS THE BEWOOB
