Topic: Perverse effects of vaccination


  
  Vaccination
Vaccination is a term coined by Edward Jenner for the process of administering live, albeit weakened, microbes to patients, with the intent of conferring immunity against a targeted form of a related disease agent.
Vaccination (Latin: vacca—cow) is so named because the first vaccine was derived from a virus affecting cows: the cowpox virus, a relatively benign virus that, in its weakened form, provides a degree of immunity to smallpox, a fairly contagious disease that is sometimes deadly to humans.
Vaccination campaigns are generally accepted as having contributed to the worldwide elimination of smallpox, through herd immunity, and to the restriction of polio to isolated pockets in countries where healthcare access is difficult.

Vaccination is used where the immunogen is itself a living infectious agent, normally either a closely related species (as with smallpox and cowpox), or by using a strain weakened by some process.
