- Опубликовано: 9 мар 2015
- Find out how smallpox became the first (and only) disease to be permanently eradicated through the use of vaccination and isolation to prevent transmission.
--
For most of human history, we have sought to treat and cure diseases. But only in recent decades did it become possible to ensure that a particular disease never threatens humanity again. Julie Garon and Walter A. Orenstein detail how the story of smallpox - the first and only disease to be permanently eliminated - shows how disease eradication can happen, and why it is so difficult to achieve.
Lesson by Julie Garon and Walter A. Orenstein, animation by TOGETHER.

Non-specific symptoms? Long incubation period?
Nailed it!
"By helping to protect others, we help to protect ourselves." Well said. =)

Vice versa too
I know right!? I loved that line!
Sadly, people think that with the coronavirus, if we get a "shot in every arm" we can magically eradicate this virus. As per the CDC, Covid shots DO NOT provide immunity, but only help to suppress symptoms. The CDC states, “vaccination breakthroughs are expected”. Fully vaccinated people with a vaccine breakthrough infection are less likely to develop serious illness. People who get vaccine breakthrough infections can be contagious.” In other words, vaccinated individuals are also spreading the illness. The CDC also states that “some people who are fully vaccinated will get COVID-19.” This wasn’t happening with the smallpox vaccine. So, when "vaccinated people" judgmentally blame the "unvaccinated" for not being able to end the pandemic, they are speaking out of ignorance. There is A LOT more to be considered in eradicating a virus than many would like to believe!
@@dianamcintosh8437 Oh, Lord! 🙄...There's a perfectly good explanation on your questions around the differences with Smallpox. I would encourage you to watch the Ted Ed video on vaccines and re-watch this video on Smallpox. Your concerns will be addressed...KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
The number of lives saved is staggering. Doctors and medical researchers, they are the silent true heroes of our society.
You said it all. I completely agree
True
and public health professionals.

I'm here because i'm very bored and like to multitask watching videos and playing high action games
We just finished watching the film Contagion in Bio.The things we humans can do if we put our minds together is extraordinary.The world had their mind set on eradicating Small Pox and gone.
Who else now has their recommendations full of disease-related videos?
Yeah, I don't know why I keep finding Roblox videos in my recommended.

The mere achievement of being able to completely eradicate a disease is also a worth while goal. Human eradication of smallpox, is one of the biggest achievement s of humanity. Just the ability to boast that we did it, is a goal all by itself.
I don’t think people will ever be able to understand how incredible it is that we have eradicated a disease so horrible smallpox
Somehow this popped up in my recommendations during the Wuhan virus period................
Correction: It's called COVID-19 now
CORONAVIRUS ALERT
When are they gonna correct the “Spanish Flu”?
respinoza89 never
@@respinoza89 So long as everyone knows what one refers to when they mention the "Spanish Flu," there's no need to correct it, as the name does what names are meant to do: label things so that we know what we are talking about.
I know it didn't originate in spain. But if it gets the point across, and it doesn't hurt anybody, _and it really doesn't,_ than I don't see a problem with it.
We know the true name of the Coronavirus now! We can fight back better!
jk but that’s interesting to know, thanks man
"Disease eradication is one public health effort that benefits the whole of humanity and challenges us to work together as a global community." #COVID
Eradication is not possible since COVID-19 lies on bats like SARS, bit we did to SARS is containment and quarantine which stopped it. We didn't stop COVID which helped it spread.
You see! Everything is better when we all work together.
We are here in 2020 while the coronavirus is still active. We’re here. Here in history. Hello future!
I hope sometime in my lifetime we'll be able to do the same with HIV. Because of the stigma surrounding it, it's a bit of a stretch. But I'm still young, transmission isn't as high, and we've got drugs like PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) and PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis), so please excuse my optimism :D
In theory this is possible, even without a vaccine, but in a world full of droughts, floods, disasters, and civil wars, it seems quite unlikely. With a fairly effective vaccine, plus existing tools, humans could eradicate HIV. So research must continue.
Totally agree to “By helping to protect others, we help to protect ourselves.” !!
Sounds effects were great!

@RUR Some of you may die but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make-Lord Farkwad
@RUR You can't have a medicine without allergic reactions, sure a few kids went deaf, but think of how many people would be dead if we didn't eradicate it with vaccines, also, those vaccines were in the 60's, which was, like, 60 years ago
1:40 killed me
He looks like he was skinned
It told us coronavirus eradication is not possible. it has a animal host, also no distinct symptom.
Perhaps. But covid-19 isn't that bad, it's only a threat to older folks and young guys with unfortunate genetics (which isn't that many). The best approach would be for healthy young population to get over the virus(now they will be immune) and for the elderly or at risk to vaccinate unless they don't mind the risk of dying.
Not necessarily. It's just harder. Polio only fits 2-3 of those 4 criteria and it has been essentially eradicated save from a couple places.
The variants of Covid of concern are not residing in any animals, as far as it's known. New coronavirus variants may emerge, but covid-19 can be eradicated if all countries reach heard immunity.

Man this vid is vital more than ever.
Amen, pal.
I cannot believe that North Korea cooperated with other countries
They weren't quite so mad back then; still had Soviet cash and food flowing in, so the dictatorship didn't have to be so paranoid about civil unrest.
@@williamchamberlain2263 not to mention they basically had Chinese backing, because if north korea fell then the americans would have an ally right on the chinese border
Even the North Koreans care for their citizens at some degree.
Lol
Very Helpful!
I hope measles gets eradicated I've had it when i tripped to Africa it's not pleasant but my immune system remembers the virus and now I can't get it
Same here, I hope it gets. Interesting story too.
I have a question that 1:34 footage of the English subtitle, 'could be haulted', is a typo?
I think it is better to change to 'could be halted'
(I'm not native speaker of English)
smooth jazz you have there
Dang and now here we are in 2020. be safe everyone !!
awesome
1:39 lol "HEY MAN!"
We need this right now
Well this is going to be helpful now.
Spending time on RUclips to escape coronavirus.. And this gets in recommendation... Btw great video
Who's still here during COVID-19 in 2021?
2020 now
I enjoyed the music of this video! :D
en México existen aún algunos casos de viruela, incluso yo la tuve, la manera de erradicarla que tenia la gente con pocos recursos era el contagiarse a temprana edad ya que en infantes lis síntomas son menores, y solo puede dar una vez en la vida
Interesting video.
3:07
_and this is where it all started_
1:40 I HAVE TO LAUGH 😂🤣
They used annotations to overwrite the word Measles due to what they believed to be a misspelling, however it was correctly spelled in the video.
Seria interessante uma versão atualizada desse vídeo e talvez discutindo a Varíola dos Macacos (Monkeypox).
I studied Microbiology for my masters degree and we want to be honest to everyone that microbes also "arm" themselves against our efforts, or should we say "evolution" allows them to arm themselves. The thing about viruses and bacteria is that their genome is simplier compared to complex organisms. High mutation rate, high death rate and high multiplication rate allows them to produce an offspring that is "tougher" and "mightier". Health systems and microbial evolution will always be an unending arms race.
Hey man
1:01 love it
Polio update:
Type 1: 2 cases in Afghanistan and 20 cases in Pakistan
Type 2: Eradicated in 2015
Type 3: Eradicated in 2019
Yes. Some vaccine-preventable infectious diseases are "human specific" = with Poliovirus being one. So with enough vaccination the virus which has evolved to only infect humans can be cut off from its host and eradicated much as happened with Smallpox. 🤔
Good video, but the sound effects and background music are a bit too loud.
Legends says that a special algorithm brought us here to watch this.
Isn't rinderpest eradicated too?
i thought he was going to say that we got rid of smallpox by getting rid of humans after he mentioned that they can only be hosted in humans
0:31 Rinderpest was eradicated too! (This wasn't a human virus, though)
Nice strategy guide for Plague Inc: The Cure
2:43 ATL Airport Chime
*COVID-19 entered the chat*
yay polio is almost gone !!!
5:23 anyone who has played Plague Inc. will understand this XD
I don't think that you're playing the game the right way.
I have played that game but didn't understand
Are you still playing it, cause if you are I think you should stop
Can we have a new video shedding light on how people are trying to eradicate corona as a continuation of this video? Ps, loved this vid.
eBay app notification sound effect at 2:44?!
Pause at 1:58. Look what the doctor on the left is wearing LOL
Virus eradication shows that humans can achieve anything if we coordinate properly.
Next is rinderpest/ the cattle plague in 2011
Rinderpest has also been eradicated worldwide! Not just smallpox.
i was suffering from small pox 4 years ago , so the desease is not eliminated completely. and still i see people suffers now too.
i had scars too but they are gone now
i have photos :( of that time
if someone want proof of small pox
I'm sorry you got sick from a poxvirus. It happened to me too. But if the scars faded, it was certainly chickenpox. Some people get *much* sicker than others from chickenpox and the disease kills thousand of people each year.
(In 2015 chickenpox resulted in 6,400 deaths globally.) However, chickenpox kills 1 out of every 60,000 people who get it, whereas smallpox kills ~3 in 10.
I had smallpox a long time ago.
5:15 Wait what..? It did it so fast!? HOW?
1:38 dawid bowie reference?
RUclips in 2020: Eh...we'll wait a couple months

when i saw the infection spread to Greenland i cried
StratoX nah, that’s impossible
Rinderpest got eradicated in 2012
*2011
this video keeps reminding me of surreal memes with the sounds used
Coronavirus: *Hold my RNA*
Legends?
measles isn't mispelt...
Me now in 2020: “hahahahahahahahahha” “turns away and sips water*
this is fun and all, but when can we eradicate trolling and sh1tposting. Its currently the two major epidemics in the internet
Polio your next
Who is here during 2021
Time to use this for leafy
Hammer, dies war den Verantwortlichen schon vor 5 Jahren klar.
Und bis heute 2020 haben sie nichts getan.
Krass!!!
1979 was when smallpox was eradicated and we have also eradicated polio
@Jae67 NO! There is still endemic polio in Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan. NOT eradicated YET!
And the anti-vax numpties that live in many developed countries could STILL be susceptible to it as well. It is HIGHLY contagious. A carrier from one of those countries could very easily bring it in and if that person comes in contact with unvaccinated people... AWAY IT GOES!
We have eradicated 2 diseases, but polio is not one of them and could be the next disease eradicated. The second disease that has been eradicated is rinderpest, but It can't make humans sick
Humanity: what did it cost
The doctor that just eradicated tetanus: everything
And rinderpest that infected cattle is also eradicated
hey man! WOW technology
This video felt way longer than 5 min o.o

HEY MAN
Why is this video popular all of the sudden?
Corona!
Corona virus?
Who’s in quarantine and watching this
This aged like a fine wine.
Or a fine milk depending on your POV.
a bit late to take advantage of the cash grab from the outbreak, but I think people will still respond predictably.
5:17, it spread to greenland!
Wait I thought polio has been eradicated too!?
No, the disease is still circulating in several countries with strife and divisions that make it difficult to vaccinate everyone. Numbers are now down around ~100 cases / year, but unfortunately this doesn't mean much, because the disease can bounce back very quickly in unvaccinated populations.

RUclips algorithm recommended me this during CoVid-19. Like if u are here becuz of that.
If nothing else, humanity is really fucking good at killing things.
And with things like Smallpox, this can be a good trait! Just wish it was used in this way more often for our benefit then well... you know...
Why did this pop up in my recommended
