Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the existing body of knowledge concerning vaccination and the prevention of smallpox. The author thoroughly examines the history of inoculation, including variolation and vaccination, and recounts the work of Jenner, who first proposed the protective effects of cowpox against smallpox. It also provides a detailed description of the symptoms of both smallpox and cowpox, along with the arguments for and against the protective influence of vaccination. This book compiles evidence from various sources to demonstrate the effectiveness of vaccination in preventing or mitigating the severity of smallpox, including historical data, clinical observations, and statistical analyses. It also addresses objections to vaccination and discusses the potential benefits and risks associated with the practice. Ultimately, this book highlights the importance of vaccination as a public health measure and its role in controlling the spread of smallpox.
