Summary
Smallpox, a deadly virus that emerged 10,000 years ago, devastated populations worldwide. Early treatments like variolation evolved into vaccination, pioneered by Edward Jenner in 1796 using cowpox. This method proved effective, leading to the eventual eradication of smallpox in 1979, marking a significant achievement in immunology and public health.
