The one that's been around for more than 200 years and helped eradicate a major killer so that the last case was in 1978, that smallpox vaccine? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the UK does too, at Porton Down The original vaccine was developed when Edward Jenner noticed that milkmaids tended not to get smallpox. They got the milder cowpox, from cows, which gave them immunisation from smallpox. So, get yourself a job at Robert Wiseman's to make sure... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just the yanks and Russians having retained them.I remember watching a programme about smallpox a long while back. They sequenced it and were astounded to find a large part of its genome closely matched parts of our immune system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Pet hamsters in homes with monkeypox cases are to be quarantined due to fears that the virus could spread through them. I think that contrary to the name of the virus, it spreads through rodents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
