For 10,000 years, humanity suffered from the scourge of smallpox. The virus killed almost a third of its victims within two weeks and left survivors horribly scarred. But Simona Zompi commends the brave souls -- a Buddhist nun, a boy, a cow, a dairymaid and physician Edward Jenner -- who first stopped the spread of this disastrous disease, to make us smallpox-free today.

Actually it was Edward Jenner that created the vaccine through research and experimentation.
If a cow got smallpox it would have acted like cowpox acts on humans
But the cow has cowpox witch would have acted like smallpox on humans.
Sooooo i guess Blossom died. RIP Blossom, you saved us all.
It’s cool how the dairy maids had already realized what the scientists hadn’t yet learned. There is definitely something to be said for having experience.
Facile logic I'm afraid. If these dairymaids recognized this = why did they then not develop a vaccine rather than Jenner??? lol!
Moral of the story: Jenner was the one who put the pieces of the puzzle together - not the dairymaids who simply went along with their routines. He was he one who conducted the experiment which proved out that exposure to Cowpox also elicited immunity against Smallpox which led to the development of the first Smallpox vaccines. Think a tad harder next time.
@@varyolla435 I simply said it was cool the way the dairy maids had recognized the phenomenon of immunity after exposure to cowpox and brought it to the doctor’s attention for him to then experiment on. That in no way takes any credit away from Jenner for the work that he put in to developing the vaccine. But the fact remains, the dairymaid’s words were the spark that lit the fuse.
@@sandracheeks1811 And I'm saying that how do you know it was the dairymaids who as you say made the connection?? You don't of course.
So actually this connection had been realized in multiple places previously and it was Jenner who conducted his test and made that known whereas others did not. Hence he got credit. Think of Alexander Graham Bell. Others were working on the telephone as well but he was the one who did it and patented it first and thus he received credit for it.
The dairymaids were therefore incidental here. They simply did their work and others made the connection - which is my point.
@@varyolla435 ok, you may be right. But since that’s the way the story is always told, I’m going with that instead of your theory. Peace.
This is the comment! Exp is the counterpart
The word vaccine has derived from Latin Word "Vecca" meaning cow. So Don't be frustrated bcz we didn’t forget blossom.
Blossom was more appriciated than Sarah Nelmes and James Phipps

Small pox virus was a mass murderer which butchered everything in its way. Corona virus is a silent killer which infects a lot of people but only chooses to kill some people.
Funny how a cow can stop a deadly virus but a Karen can't
Ian Lee well done lol

What’s the difference?
Duuh because cows are useful
You cannot say don’t forget the cow when not mentioning the monk!! Like maybe hers wasn’t approved in England but it was still a beginning and very important
When you don't watch the video...
4:05 "But let's not forget the Buddhist nun [...] all heroes in this great adventure of vaccination..."
@@MusicalMethuselah they mentioned her, yes, but not nearly as much as they did the cow and at the end
@@biblicallyaccuratesandwich The name of the nun is not known, which is why they didnt talk too much about her at the end
We all know who the true hero is,
And its blossom the cow.
NorMinIan_ K.T. Not really , cause blossom is not only the cow who had cowpox , rather the farmer / the farmers son are the heros
That's the joke
R/wooooooooooosh
No, it was the cowpox virus that got jealous of the fame his cousin smallpox got...
NorMinIan_ K.T. They then ate the cow and enjoyed it very much.
And then anti-vaxxers came in.
Edit: In celebration of this comment getting over 10k likes, I'd like to inform you about the discussion in the replies that has been raging for almost a year. It's pretty amusing.
Anti-vaxxers are just people who are too scared to be vaccinated
@@MV-tx2io They are just people with too little problems. They need something to complain about, so they chose vaccines.

this is insane, the fact the humanity could beat this virus by the help of teamwork. truly unbelieveable
I never ceased to be amazed by human ingenuity.
Fun fact: Vaccination actually derives its name from Latin "Vacca", which indeed means..."cow"!
Blossom will live on!

Why was the credit not given to the monk by the end? Even the cow was given more credit than the first person who figured out a way to immunize.
There is no prove or record for that Buddhist nun. So credit is useless and unessesary without proof

Xx GoatDestoryer xX ~4 vaccines contain egg proteins.

Smallpox was much much deadlier than coronavirus
Corona virus is almost gone in china
Pls finde a cure 😱😨😭
@haxx for dummies not as deadly as you think but 30% of people got it have severe lungs and organs damage which is not just a "bad flu". Others have to deal with a lot of treatment which requires a lot of resouces. so wash your damn hands and stay home
Odd enough, my great great grandma had smallpox. She got it being a kid, in the late 1860s, at five or six years old. As they lived in the countryside of Argentina and were poor people, she was very likely to die, but her father somehow treated her back to health. And she lived 110 years after that.
Smallpox typically killed around 20-30% of the people it infected. So your great-great-grandma stood a chance of survival anyways. That does not mean smallpox was not dangerous - simply that around 2 out of 3 people lived = albeit with scars and perhaps other health problems as a result. So be glad humans eradicated it.
Woah
@@varyolla435they lived in a country side and were poor, it couldve been harder to treat
@@Haylow6969 From what I've seen there is no "treatment", but rather either variolation or vaccination which serve as preventions.
So if you get smallpox, I don't think treatment would be much different for someone who was poor. (Other than luxury/comfort)
@@crusaderofthelowlands3750 oh yeah that's true. I was thinking because rich people probably wouldve been trying to find treatments for themselves and poorer people in more rural areas had to go to cities to find treatments
ok but why are we crediting the cow more than the monk? :/
because the cow was more western than monk, cmon now you should understand anyone who isn't from western world shouldn't be credit it much

@@alatussolanum oh, thanks for reminding me
Most of the scientific discoveries were and are random and sudden insights so yeah all it takes is one person to think outside the box or fall upon something new and observe it, just imagine how many such things human beings observe and see everyday but just brush them off as useless info or data ...
Typographical Tyrant wierd how it takes about more than a thousand people and still no cure for cancer
It takes one person to vaccinate you and render you immune to it, forever
Why don't those nuns get credit? 3% death rate is not bad for centuries before science.
oh boy the jealousy
Raphael Vasconcellos lol shut up
འཇིགས་མེད་ རྣམ་རྒྱལ it was just that the brit found a much safer and non dangerous way of curing it. that method was used a lot but i remember reading about how colonial soldiers in the revolutionary war had to get the smallpox vaccination and that it would sometimes infect the person then spread to other people before they get vaccinated
You got my profile pic 😂
because Variolation did not really help eradicate smallpox. I mean why should it when an inoculated patient runs the risk of spreading smallpox to other people, and carries the risk of developing smallpox themselves.
They needed to give more credit to the monk
I am here to testify how great a man called dr orede helped me out with herbs and roots which he prepared for me in use of curing my Cancer.

OG comment by @Zero
They did tho
Two things:
1) Smallpox apparently got its name to distinguish it from the "great pox"- i.e. syphilis.
2) I'm disappointed this video didn't mention Mary Wortley Montague (1689-1762). She was the wife of the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire and, based on her experiences there, helped to popularize inoculation in England long before Jenner came up with his vaccine.
I know that we always say that we'd rather live in the 1800's or 1900's. But when we think of it, we're lucky to be alive.
Anthony Gonzalez julioooooooooooo
But it was much simpler in general, not health wise but you could make a fortune doing manual labour and just working. Laws were freaking lenient so you could get away with murder and you could use small pox to annihilate your enemy, his family and his entire country ...
Ah the good ol' times

Not vaccinating your kids because they might get a serious allergic reaction (1/1000000 for MMR) is like not feeding your kids because they might choke (even less common).
You got the wrong numbers. Check physicians for informed consent for real MMR numbers.

Why credit the cow and not the monk
where is the recognition for the monk who started the research for the cure? why does an 8 year old boy and a cow get credit and not the monk?

are you deaf? She was credited did you even watch the video
And lets not forget O Mei Shan, who started the whole thing, why isnt she the Mother Of Immunology. She only had 3% failure rate, i would say thats very successful, not to mension she invented it centuries ago ( at least 700yrs later ) with very little scientific advances. I think its unfair.

and edward jenner
and youtube
no
And hundreds of generations of medicinal knowledge passed around and taught. Thousands of doctors looking into this decease and hundreds of thousands dying from it.
The fucking cow was just sick and transferred the disease to a girl, that's all. To be exact, it wasn't even the cow that transferred it, virus did it itself when the girl was milking the cow. Cow didn't do ANYTHING to help except being a host for the virus.
This is one of the very few reasons I'm proud to belong to our species. This is such an unimaginably difficult task, to beat the one natural enemy we have left - a pathogen. The battle between the least and most developed organisms on the planet (or in the case of viruses - not even organisms, but bare voracious bits of self replicating code) is incredible to witness, even more so when we actually managed to win. Cut forward to 2020, when undereducated Karens and Kevins stuck armpit deep into the Dunning-Kruger paradox bark about how we don't need vaccines and science is yucky herp derp, only to wind up gasping for air, sobbing and begging to be rescued by the same science two weeks later. What a world.

That dairy maid saved humanity from eradication, greatest triumph in human history!
the contribution of the dairy maid is also great in the conquest over this disease
Not really. Dairymaids had been infected and recovered from Smallpox for a while. In all that time = none of them ever correlated infection with Cowpox as a means to prevent Smallpox. Thus the maid helped Jenner to make the connection - true. Yet it was in fact Jenner and not the dairymaid who concluded infection with one might help against the other and who then formulated a trial to test the hypothesis.
Some random dairy maid : i'll never get smallpox because i had smallpox before
Edward Jenner : ok, thx m8. I can't sleep now
Smallpox: Damn you, you eradicated me!
Cowpox: Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
3:57 That killed my eyes.
Countryball Stories yeah the unsmooth frames hurt my eyes too
Thank you Ted Ed for teaching me
It's pretty interesting that a monk nun was so close to curing the disease so much earlier through variolation. That nun probably had very little experience with any medicinal practices and came rather close. It is also kind of funny that Jenner may have never thought of this solution if he had not overheard a cowmaid talk about it. What is curious to me is how that cowmaid, Sarah Nelmes, knew that she would be immune to smallpox after having been exposed to cowpox. I wonder if she had some background knowledge or if she had an encounter with smallpox and just did not contract it when she should have? Either way, this is a great video detailing how a smallpox originated and how it was cured.
She heard from other dairy maids of course that no dairy maid that had cowpox ever got smallpox

Homer Simpson: "I can't make it in to work today, Mr. Smithers. I have smallpox! ...Well it wasn't wiped out in MY household!"
Great video. However you forgot to mention the fact that last remnants of smallpox are being kept in two labs, in USA and Russia, respectively. The scientists are still arguing whether that is a good idea or not. What do you think? Shall they be destroyed?
a bot in a several year old video.
To answer the question and get the ball rolling on discussion, I think the test sample of smallpox should be destroyed.
My reason for saying that is, well you found the vaccine. Why keep the smallpox? A world with no singular small pox virus existing would feel cleaner, and if need be... Take many notes of it and pictures before destroying it.
It makes me feel so uneasy that scientists would keep a virus around, a fatal one at that, in 2 labs after we've found the cure for said virus. If they want it for experiment sake, call me crazy but that makes me even more uneasy and uncomfortable. How do we know that whatever is discovered is used for good, and not for harm toward humanity? I do not trust scientists, plain and simple.
That is my standpoint, and I'd like to see many others. As we can only see so far with one perspective.

When all the men left, there weren't enough people for the farms. People were starving but then came a cow. This cow gave so much milk that everybody could life from it while the men were fighting. People still belief that the cow was a God and that she can appear in every cow so you need to treat them with respect

"Yo can you help me with an experiment?"
"What do you want?"
"I need to blow smallpox scabs into your nose so you don't die"
"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......ok I guess 🤷"
Just have to check that into chinese and there we have it !
Don't forget Viktor Zhdanov, who also helped alot with eliminating the disease.
We desperately need another episode of 'How we conquered' video in the near future ...
so what the Buhdda nun did doesn't count D:
NAI-YU TUNG yah basically. Is like making rice. They said for each cup you put 2 cup water. The buddas just added water on precision...maybe it turn out fine maybe it turn soggy. 3% is to much to much risk.
NAI-YU TUNG she helped, but did not directly help to crest vaccines
vaccines work by treating someone with a weaker version of the virus and letting them develop immune resistance. While the Buddhist monk's work was revolutionary, she was infecting people with the same, deadly virus. Infecting them with cowpox helped them instead by making them slightly sick and reducing the death rate
Noo she reduced the death rate by 97% duh! And introduced and invented the concept of infecting people with a minut amount to build their immunity!?!! (pretty wild) she's the mother of all vaccines and directly responsible 4 all the disease they have pretty-much eradicated! He just came up with a slight modification like putting in bike lanes for safety, he didn't invent the bike or the break or the helmet and bike Lanes don't drop the percentage of bicyclist death by very much at all.. like 1.8% and are more for convenience of pedestrians walking down sidewalks.... Like how scars are inconvenient so milkmaids had been doing/ knowing this for Generations... he really didn't do much at all
lmao do you want a straw shoved up your nose

Fun fact: The logo used at 3:44 to represent medicine is incorrect. The correct one is the Rod of Asclepius
The one depicted is the the staff of the god Hermes, the caduceus
I was about to comment that! It's a common mistake :/
Ikr it's so common even medical agencies use it
NEVER. EVER. VACCINATE. YOUR. CHILD.

Wow I'm amazed by this historic story
I've about fighting fire with fire, but fighting virus with virus, that is unbelievable! I'm just glad it worked.
That is why we shouldn't let the cows population go low because cows saved our lives.
Well, it was technically Blossom, who saved us
