How we conquered the deadly smallpox virus - Simona Zompi

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/how-we-conq...
For 10,000 years, humanity suffered from the scourge of smallpox. The virus killed almost a third of its victims within two weeks and left survivors horribly scarred. But Simona Zompi commends the brave souls -- a Buddhist nun, a boy, a cow, a dairymaid and physician Edward Jenner -- who first stopped the spread of this disastrous disease, to make us smallpox-free today.

It’s cool how the dairy maids had already realized what the scientists hadn’t yet learned. There is definitely something to be said for having experience.

[@varyolla435]

Facile logic I'm afraid. If these dairymaids recognized this = why did they then not develop a vaccine rather than Jenner??? lol! Moral of the story: Jenner was the one who put the pieces of the puzzle together - not the dairymaids who simply went along with their routines. He was he one who conducted the experiment which proved out that exposure to Cowpox also elicited immunity against Smallpox which led to the development of the first Smallpox vaccines. Think a tad harder next time.

[@sandracheeks1811]

@@varyolla435 I simply said it was cool the way the dairy maids had recognized the phenomenon of immunity after exposure to cowpox and brought it to the doctor’s attention for him to then experiment on. That in no way takes any credit away from Jenner for the work that he put in to developing the vaccine. But the fact remains, the dairymaid’s words were the spark that lit the fuse.

[@varyolla435]

@@sandracheeks1811 And I'm saying that how do you know it was the dairymaids who as you say made the connection?? You don't of course. So actually this connection had been realized in multiple places previously and it was Jenner who conducted his test and made that known whereas others did not. Hence he got credit. Think of Alexander Graham Bell. Others were working on the telephone as well but he was the one who did it and patented it first and thus he received credit for it. The dairymaids were therefore incidental here. They simply did their work and others made the connection - which is my point.

Odd enough, my great great grandma had smallpox. She got it being a kid, in the late 1860s, at five or six years old. As they lived in the countryside of Argentina and were poor people, she was very likely to die, but her father somehow treated her back to health. And she lived 110 years after that.

[@varyolla435]

Smallpox typically killed around 20-30% of the people it infected. So your great-great-grandma stood a chance of survival anyways. That does not mean smallpox was not dangerous - simply that around 2 out of 3 people lived = albeit with scars and perhaps other health problems as a result. So be glad humans eradicated it.

It's pretty interesting that a monk nun was so close to curing the disease so much earlier through variolation. That nun probably had very little experience with any medicinal practices and came rather close. It is also kind of funny that Jenner may have never thought of this solution if he had not overheard a cowmaid talk about it. What is curious to me is how that cowmaid, Sarah Nelmes, knew that she would be immune to smallpox after having been exposed to cowpox. I wonder if she had some background knowledge or if she had an encounter with smallpox and just did not contract it when she should have? Either way, this is a great video detailing how a smallpox originated and how it was cured.

[@the_retag]

She heard from other dairy maids of course that no dairy maid that had cowpox ever got smallpox

[@beabea5985]

This is one of the very few reasons I'm proud to belong to our species. This is such an unimaginably difficult task, to beat the one natural enemy we have left - a pathogen. The battle between the least and most developed organisms on the planet (or in the case of viruses - not even organisms, but bare voracious bits of self replicating code) is incredible to witness, even more so when we actually managed to win. Cut forward to 2020, when undereducated Karens and Kevins stuck armpit deep into the Dunning-Kruger paradox bark about how we don't need vaccines and science is yucky herp derp, only to wind up gasping for air, sobbing and begging to be rescued by the same science two weeks later. What a world.

[@jakemachado592]

NAI-YU TUNG she helped, but did not directly help to crest vaccines

[@jns6320]

vaccines work by treating someone with a weaker version of the virus and letting them develop immune resistance. While the Buddhist monk's work was revolutionary, she was infecting people with the same, deadly virus. Infecting them with cowpox helped them instead by making them slightly sick and reducing the death rate

[@rinkle396]

Noo she reduced the death rate by 97% duh! And introduced and invented the concept of infecting people with a minut amount to build their immunity!?!! (pretty wild) she's the mother of all vaccines and directly responsible 4 all the disease they have pretty-much eradicated! He just came up with a slight modification like putting in bike lanes for safety, he didn't invent the bike or the break or the helmet and bike Lanes don't drop the percentage of bicyclist death by very much at all.. like 1.8% and are more for convenience of pedestrians walking down sidewalks....

+Avalon Shaw not true, there was once a great king who went to war. He was so beloved by his people that all the men went fighting with the king. When all the men left, there weren't enough people for the farms. People were starving but then came a cow. This cow gave so much milk that everybody could life from it while the men were fighting. People still belief that the cow was a God and that she can appear in every cow so you need to treat them with respect

the contribution of the dairy maid is also great in the conquest over this disease

[@varyolla435]

Not really. Dairymaids had been infected and recovered from Smallpox for a while. In all that time = none of them ever correlated infection with Cowpox as a means to prevent Smallpox. Thus the maid helped Jenner to make the connection - true. Yet it was in fact Jenner and not the dairymaid who concluded infection with one might help against the other and who then formulated a trial to test the hypothesis.

[@JatinDas007]

Awesome explanation!

[@mevlanisufi2100]

Great video. However you forgot to mention the fact that last remnants of smallpox are being kept in two labs, in USA and Russia, respectively. The scientists are still arguing whether that is a good idea or not. What do you think? Shall they be destroyed?

[@unknown-9777]

a bot in a several year old video.

[@angeliki5135]

To answer the question and get the ball rolling on discussion, I think the test sample of smallpox should be destroyed. My reason for saying that is, well you found the vaccine. Why keep the smallpox? A world with no singular small pox virus existing would feel cleaner, and if need be... Take many notes of it and pictures before destroying it. It makes me feel so uneasy that scientists would keep a virus around, a fatal one at that, in 2 labs after we've found the cure for said virus. If they want it for experiment sake, call me crazy but that makes me even more uneasy and uncomfortable. How do we know that whatever is discovered is used for good, and not for harm toward humanity? I do not trust scientists, plain and simple. That is my standpoint, and I'd like to see many others. As we can only see so far with one perspective.
