TRIVIA SPONSORED BY:
SMALLPOX (continued): • An English doctor named Edward Jenner was the first person to realize that people who had suffered from the relatively mild sickness called cowpox were immune to smallpox. • Jenner first tested his vaccine in 1796. At that time, about one out of every ten people in England died of smallpox. He inoculated an 8-yearold boy with weakened cowpox germs. Six weeks later, he inoculated the boy with smallpox. The boy did not come down with smallpox. He was immune. • The idea of vaccination had heavy opposition at first, but began to catch on after Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Cotton Mather, and Napoleon Bonaparte endorsed the idea. Napoleon had all of his troops inoculated. • Thanks to vaccination, the last known case of smallpox was reported in 1977. THE STORY OF LOUIS • In the late 1800's, a doctor named Louis was doing experiments with chicken cholera. To infect the birds, he grew pure strains of the cholera germs in his laboratory. One day by mistake he injected some chickens with cholera germs that had been sitting in a flask all summer long. He was surprised when the chickens did not get sick. He was even more surprised when he injected the chickens with a fresh, virulent strain of cholera and they still did not get sick. Putting two and two together, Louis knew he had just discovered a vaccination for cholera. • Next he experimented with anthrax. Again, an accident intervened. A thermometer in an incubator was off kilter, though he didn't know it. He wondered why animals injected with anthrax did not come down with the disease— and then he found he'd been getting the germs too hot. Experiments showed that if he heated the anthrax germs before injecting them, the animal would become immune. But veterinarians refused to believe him.
