"Smallpox" by Tammy Gagne explores the history and impact of the smallpox virus, from its ancient origins to its eradication in the 20th century. The book delves into the virus's devastating effects on human populations, including the toll it took during epidemics and how it influenced public health measures. It highlights key figures in the fight against the disease, such as Edward Jenner, who pioneered vaccination, and discusses the global efforts that led to the eventual declaration of smallpox eradication in 1980. Through engaging narratives and historical context, Gagne emphasizes the importance of vaccines in combating infectious diseases. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
