Some researchers still believe that Smallpox could make a comeback. However, as of 1980, the World Health Assembly proclaimed that our world is now smallpox free. Historically, smallpox is considered to be one of the most dangerous and contagious diseases. It is caused by the variola virus, showing a characteristic rash, mainly on the face, arms and legs.
Smallpox existed for 3,000 years before the vaccine was created in the 1980s making it one of the most historically feared diseases. In the 20th century alone, smallpox killed more than 300 million people. Up to this day, both the WHO and countless governments around the world still believe that viruses could be bio engineered then deliberately released to cause harm.

This was very enlightening. I appreciate all the information that I learned about these diseases. I realize that many of these diseases can have outbreaks in India and Africa. I hope the organizations can battle these diseases in Africa and India- Doctors Without Borders, United Nations, world Health organization.
Very informative information !!!
The first Smallpox Vaccine that actually worked was created in 1796 by Edward Jenner.
great read!
I guess having worked in the medical field twice in my life gave me the knowledge of recognizing eight of these deadly diseases and viruses. I am not a computer genius and I know it. That leaves me wondering why, when and how Bill Gates has become an immunologist.
