The Spread and Eradication of Smallpox (1919-1977) 

I don't want to head to political territory here, but it might sound it, other than poverty do or did you have mandatory vaccines as kids for measles, mumps chicken pox etc? I know a bunch of countries don't (mostly Africa) and that's why some diseases are still around and people are vaccine hesitant. I personally can't travel to some countries that I'd never want to visit because of that. For smallpox I think its cool that we had 1 thing (maybe only thing in history) that the whole world actually united with and that was to get rid of the disease. I don't know if chicken pox and measles are gone yet.

@@jakeg3126 measles vaccines are mandatory here and are given in schools to children At least now Not in the past

@@jakeg3126 Hepatitis, Typhoid is widespread in India, so when you visit, be sure to keep that in mind. I was vaccinated, but still got hepatitis A, in Delli from some street food.

You're still poor, lol.

@@agentsmith_ I bet that sucked. are you ok now?

Shut up your scaring me

Thanks to world expert Dr. Fauci; we know people would actually do that. He goes behind governments back to send money to a lab, that studied what could happen if a disease that doesn't exist might develop. He's guilty by default by sending them money in the 1st place. I cant stand the guy so had to I thought of it and wanted to meantion it.

You just made me even more scared

@@diwgo2147 We need samples to create vaccins

They made it too lethal to start so everyone started working on a cure right away. Classic rookie mistake.

Your country was the USSR

"OUR" country was the USSR comrade

was*

our country was ussr*

Oh you're Kazakh ?

Then how the fuck did it not hit the carribean gabon french guiana jordan and united arab emirates

We Indians are thanking cows since 5000 BC

Sure it was huge in the middle ages and before but where u wanna take the data from?

oh saw other smallpox count video from this channel, it says believed to come from Egypt in 1st millenia BC

@@DaxRaider ok true

Ship

U reslise they just use always the borders from end of video and not change them ???

Good thing cause smallpox stops at borders

Chicken Pox maybe…because Small Pox was eradicated in the 70s. Very different diseases. Chicken Pox is nowhere near as deadly. It was just 2 weeks off school and a lot of itching.

@@lq7777 I stand corrected. It was chicken pox. JazakAllah. Thank You.

Laughing about what? People dying?

hopefully you’re laughing on about humanity’s achievement to eradicate such a painful disease that many kids had to suffer through

that's what i call a small poxy brain

You were definitely affected by smallpox before it got eradicated weren’t you?

Ethiopia already beated India.

The time was british raj

Yes, right. We didn't have money even to eat, forget vaccinating or treat our ppl. Things have changed now, the way we fought the covid pandemic has shown our potential to the world. We not only vaccinated our population @10M ppl per day but also we donated and supplied vaccines to the world. We have come a long way and instead of making fun, pls think about the journey we've covered. We are still not there where we belonged 2-3 centuries ago but we will. We're the fastest-growing economy in the world and we've achieved so many things and also I accept all the weaknesses we have!

You being chinese should be happy to see this ! 😀

China might have won but who knows. It must be the work of the USA in manipulating those numbers.

Cringe troller.

Best country 💪

@@JLTruRodYT ok tu₹d

Yeah, when you can't win ethically, spread a virus and let them suffer and kill some of your own people too so no one doubts.
