While the people in that era who showed fever, vomiting and mouth soures as early symptoms and fluid filled blisters with scab over and blindness as later symptoms, starting to die after few days, a Brithish doctor had been searching for a cure.
When the fact that 'a person who was once infected by cowpox(ගව වසූරිය) is immune to smallpox' was exposed to the society by that doctor Edward Jenner after so many experiments, everybody including doctors laughed at him.

Dr. Edward Jenner
But Edward who didn't quit from there, sent the successful results of his experiments to London Royal Association. His invention got the acquaintance gradually though it was rejected at first.
Thanks to that one man's effort, smallpox was eradicated completely from the world in 1979. This the story of the first vaccine and first pandemic defeated by a vaccine in the world. So, let's be possitve and wish for an end date for COVID19 as well since more people are trying to find a vaccine with more developed technology by today. It is wonderful how a disease(smallpox) got cured by another disease(cowpox) though.
While reading this, my mind is murmuring that will this vaccine be abled to control this COVID 19 epidemic. 😪
It was a tragic to convey, many people had suffered from smallpox throughout long time zone.
My frequent prayers are to have speedy recovery for each and everybody suffering from current global pandemic.

What a disaster and I wonder why it is repeating over and over. I was afraid to study about this topic but we all should be aware of the past which was the reason even i was studying it from the internet after the current pandemic.
I am sure that there is a very important message from the nature behind all these and I am afraid whether we will be able to understand it❓❓❓

I feel hopeful but at the same time terrified knowing that an airborne disease could be stopped altogether only through a vaccine. It will take a long time for everyone to get vaccinated. Let's hope it is not that long.

Things are getting worse day by day with new breeds of virus and don't know how long this will exist. Terrifying. Smallpox have existed for centuries. Hope COVID19 won't be like that.
