Through the lens of history, we witness the turbulent debate over vaccination. From James Gillray's satirical etching of Edward Jenner in 1802, to the Anti-Vaccination Riot in Montreal, Canada, 1885, and the tragic consequences of poorly administered vaccines in the 1800s, the controversy surrounding this life-saving measure remains as vibrant as ever. While Jenner's discovery of the smallpox vaccine marked a turning point in medical history, not everyone was quick to embrace it. Fueled by fear and misinformation, anti-vaccination sentiments persisted, leading to violent protests and the spread of disease. Yet, as we reflect on these historical moments, it is crucial to remember the importance of science and the potential consequences of ignoring it.
